RECORD SNOW STORM
CAUSES BIG LOSSES.
STATE AND COUNTY SWEPT BY
EARLY BLIZZARD
aesee County Traffic Tied up and
Church Services Cancelled
Drifts Piled High.

The blizzard which swept the land
and lakes of Michigan Sunday night
causing the loss of several lives and
millions of dollars, didn't miss this
part of Genesee county.
Throughout the townships of Wen
ma, Genesee, Thetford, Mt. Morris,
Birch Run and Arbela roads were
stacked high with drifts which made
traffic in some places impossible.
No "oldest inhabitant" has yet ap-
peared on the streets of Clio who
has told of year when Nov. saw
such a snow storm.
Probably the enterprises worst hit
by the storm in this village was the

waited, Mr.. Leonard was struggling
through the drifts between Davis
burg and Ortonville in an automo-
bile.

said Mr.. Leonard in telling an enter
tanning story of how he fought the
elements. 1--WE hired team to pull
us through the drifts. The rope
broke. Then we obtained a log chain.
That broke. We got another and
eventually succeeded in getting into

Vienna street presented strange
spectacle Monday morning. The
drifts were swept four feet. high
against the store fronts on the north
side of the streets. Merchants on
the south side laughed as they stood
on walks swept clean by the wind
and watched the men on the other
side of the streets shovel holes to
the store doors.
Throughout the country districts
scenes of animation were presented
by hundreds Of farmers getting out
and shoveling paths for passing
teams.
Ralph Knight, of the Ford garage,
made trip from Flint to Clio Mon
day through the big snow drifts.
Once he had to back up half mile
and take another road, but outside
of that his machine seemed to go
where no other vehicle ventured.

loaded coal wagon and threw II into the
ranks OF the strikers, In a trice the bat
tie was on. Coal, bricks and mlscellsn

gled with the whistle OF bullets and the
rafting discharge OF magazine guns and
automatic revolvers. Screams and yels
OF rage filled the air while men and
women fell 10 the ground. In some places
the pavements were torn UP by the strik-
ers in their frantic efforts TO secure
bricks with which to protect themselves.
