of the man arrested in ST. Joseph In

Still declaring his innocence of the
murder of the North Topeka merchant,
Boyle underwent a final interview this

TRAINS TIED UP
Another Snow Storm Sweeps
Over Kansas.
Sweeps
Affects Northeastern Section
of the State.
Section

A snow storm that swept ove1
| northwestern Kansas, northeastern
Colorado and southwestern Nebraska
early today followed by a stiff vino
this afternoon. has demoralized traf-
fic on the Rock Island, the Union Pa
cific and Missouri Pacific roads.
Rock Island officials stated in To-
peka this afternoon that every rotary
and wedge plow in service in this
district had been rushed to the
blocked cuts. The road had practical
ly discontinued traffic to Colorado un-
til the storm abates. Trains are tied
up at Phillipsburg, Selden and Brew
ster. The engines on all these trains
are kept "alive" and all trains are
provided with dining cars. The road
Is making every effort to keep pas
sengers in comfort.
The Colorado and Nebraska divisions of
the road are tied up and many trains will
be annulled before the snow drifts are
penetrated
The Union Pacific reports a number of
trains tied up near the Kansas Colorado
state line. For the time being all east
bound Union Pacific trains out of Denver
have been annulled.
Westbound train No. 100, due to
leave Topeka for Denver at 1885 o. m.
has been annulIed. No. 105 will run
as far as Junction City only. A IL to
Is inch snow is reported from Ellis
west, with a high wind. The follow
ing branches are closed: Mcpherson
Salina, Junction City -Concordia, Man
haitian Marysville, Salina-Oakley and
Solom mon-Beloit.
The Missouri Pacific is choked by the
early morning storm. Officials of that
road have sent an appeal to the Rock
Island for snow plows. But the Rock
Island is having troubles of its own and
probably will not be able to spare plow
from any of it's divisions.
The Santa Fe is fortunate in the last
storm. Their tracks were kept open on
the main line. On the Superior branch
the cuts were filled with snow between
Manchester. Kan, and Superior, Neb.- In
the Superior yards eight feet of snow
covers the rails and switches.
No promises are given by Rock Island
and Union Pacific officials. If the wind
continues, the road will not attempt to
clear their cuts. It would be useless.
