Line Between Mason City and oska.
Ioosa Open Again Friday-7raneh
Train All Day Coming From Story
city-Movemsnt Of All Trains Is
Uncertain in More or Less Degree.

All of the railroads operating thru
this city were having troubles peculiar
to such severe weather in operating
trains Friday and today. None of the
passengers on any Of the lines were on
time Friday. during the night. or this
morning. Some of them were many
hours late.
1t was not until late Friday that the
last Of the owbound trains on the NJ.
& st. L. reached the city. The Story
City branch east bound train that was
stalled near Roland early in the morn
ing, spent all day getting to this city.
The train pulled in at Z o'clock last
night. The north bound passenger, No.
5, that was stuck in the snow near
Pickering, did not reach here until
o'clock in the afternoon. The release
of this train opened the main line from
Mason City to Oskaloosa- The even
ing passengers did not get here until
well into the night The trains this
morning were correspondingly late. All
the laborers that could be obtained
have been put to work shoveling out
the cuts that were opened only wide
enough to let trains thru.
The snow is not the only trouble
that embarrassed the NJ. & st. L. The
intense cold has caused engine fail
ures, and some of the locomotives here
and at other terminals have been put
out Of service temporarily by becom-
ing frozen up. The round house turn
table was put out Of commission this
morning by becoming so frozen that IT
could not be moved. This prevented
locomotives from being taken into the
round house Only such freight trains
as are absolutely necessary to be
moved are being sent out
