OLD Time
BLIZZARD
Severe Storm Sweeps Over
This Section Tuesday
WAS ONE OF THE WORST IN YEARS
Ties Up All Railroad Traffic
For Several Days

Monday night and Tuesday this sec
ton was again visited by severe
storm which had all the vigor of the
old time blizzard From what we can
learn it was general all over this state
and Minnesota and appears to have
been one OF the worst storms i'll years.
1t started Monday afternoon at about
five o'clock and grew rapidly worse,
the wind being a gale and it contin.
ued without abating that night, all day
Tuesday and far into Tuesday night.
Ii practically tied up all business
in this city, as no one ventured out
unless it was absolutely necessary.
The college and public schools closed
for the day Tuesday, as early i'll the
morning the authorities decided that
it would be unwise to ask the stu
dents to venture out in the storm.
Yesterday morning dawned bright
and clear. as fine winter day as
one could wish, and the sun shown
brightly all day. The storm had piled
The snow in great drifts along the
walks and about the buildings and
there is about six inches on a level.
The wind blew most of the snow on
the roads and the sleighing is not
of the best. The storm gave the cltl-
zens something to do in the way OF
shoveling off their walks, and by noon
the streets were fairly passable.
The storm again tied up the train
service on this line and until last
night no train had arrived from either
direction since Monday evening. The
rrain that left here late Monday night
for the east was stalled in DRIFT
1ha other side of Tyler and not until
Yesterday were they able to- back up
70 TYLER. The Tuesday mornings pas
seneer was reported buried in drllt
east of Tracy. The railroad company
promises to have the road clear today
and it is thought that by night we
will have an all east mail
The rural and city carriers did not
90 out Tuesday, but made their trips
Yesterday with what little mail they
had. The postofice force have big
lob ahead of them, similar to the
one of a couple of weeks ago, when
the mail arrived from the east. They
will have to distribute three days ma
and maybe more, so they are not en-
owing their enforced idleness as much
ms YOU would naturally think.
