OMAHA PEOPLE ARE sNowBoUND
c. N. Dietz and q. w. Holdrege, with
Their Families, Hemmed I nat
Dome Lake, Wyo,, in Heart
OF Big Horn Range.

Snow began to fall last night at North
Platte and Valentine and to work its
way east, carrying out the prediction OF
the weather man.
Reports to the Burlington and North.
western show six inches Of snow in the
Black Hills and over considerable of the
country to the north.
From Sheridan to Billings on the Bur-.
lngton II has been raining steadily dur
ing the last twenty-four hours and this
side from Sheridan to Edgmont 1t mas
been showing most of the period.
Along the Northwestern, most Of the
way across Wyoming. either rain or snow
has been falling steadily most Of the time
since early Monday morning, From Long
Pine to Omaha II rained nearly all Monday
night in many places the precipitation
aggregating an inch. Across the state
line and In Dakota, throughout the Bone
steel country. the weather Is bright and
clear, but SO cool that frosts Of the killing
kind was expected tonight.
Over the entire Lincoln division of the
Burlington there was general rain Mon
day night, an inch or more In many places.
On other parts of the system In Ne
braska there was slow drizzling rain
Monday night but 1t was clearing yester-
day.
Omahans Are Sn0wbound.
Several Omaha people are snow-bound
in the Wyoming mountains and 1t is not
quite certain when they will be releaseds
as snow is still falling.
c. N. Deits and wife and George w,
Holdrege, and daughters are at Dome
Lake. Wyo., $500 feet above sea level,
forty miles from Sheridan and right in
the heart OF the Big Horn range. In
this locality they had two feet of snow
last week and now comes the informa-
tion that an additional foot has fallen
within the last two. or three days.
No particular anxiety Is felt for the
safety OF tile Omaha people as they are
well supplied with food OF ali kinds,
having enough stored to last them until
next spring, In the event that they should
be held there until then. Then. too. they
have. great quantities OF dry pine weods
cut and raclsed up around the five cot
tages that they and their servants oc-
cupy. t
The Omaha people had planned to,
leave Dome Lake last week, but the bad
weather set in and then they concluded to
walt few days until the snow melted
and settled. Now with the additional
inches their friends here are unable to
figure just when they will get away
The roads between Sheridan and Doms
Lake are bad, even ut their best and with
the heavy snow covering them they are
said to be almost, if not quite impossible,
oying TO the fact that In many places
they run along the side of the noun
tains, just wide enough for. wagon to
pass.
