fe " p d d u
An unprecedented snow. rain and
wind storm is sweeping the whole Of
the Central United States, according
to dispatches from many points. Ia
most places heavy snow fall mas
been recorded, while In some places
rain and snow have combined.
Cairo was visited BY heavy wind
and most disagreeable rain and
snow storm that continued practic-
ally all day and almost all nigh.
The snow fell frequently enough to
stand on the sidewalk half inch
deep. This was supplemented By
the rain and made sloppy and dam
gerous footing.
Wind Damages Wires.
The heavy wind did much damage
to telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires In many places the
wires arc reported altogether down
and communication BY wire Is ex-
tremely hazardous. ,e ,@
In Cairo many wires we're crossed
and burned out. Along Eighth
street several wires were sputtering
and kissing and several electric
lights were so badly disconnected
that they lit only at intervals. The
western Urion clock system ssas din
arranged by the blowing down OF the
wires and wireman worked all
night keeping the system In order.
Tornado in Parts.
The wind became a tornado In
many parts of the country. At
Shreveport, La, tornado struck.
the western part of the city was de-
vastated and six are known to be
dead Many are injured and It is
feared others may be added to the
list of dead.
From western points the wind Is
reported blowing 4O-mile gale.
1t Is expected that the tempera.
ture will drop well toward the zero
mark in this locality and that many
points throughout the country will
record zero weather.
Traias are reported late at all
points. 1t is expected that the trains
passing through Cairo will be from
few minutes to an hour late DUR
ing the next twenty-four hours.
