Lyons, Neb.. Jan. 13.-Extreme cold
here breaks the record for many years
past. The thermometers here ranged
from SO to As degrees below zero at

have never before seen it SO cold here,
others say it has been many a year
since such extreme cold weather so
long drawn out has prevailed. Stock

about a foot deep.
