cheyenne and Pine Bluffs, Neb. Two
sections of No. 10. eastbound, being
closest to the freight wreck. were COM
PEELED to halt near KimLall The first
section was made up Of mail cars and
the second of day coaches. tourist
sleepers, and one Pullman. The second
section was halted at Kimball at $3.50
a. m. on Friday and was held there for
thirty-five hours.
At the beginning of the blockade all
Of the cars were comfortably warm. but
as the delay heightened into hours the
full effect Of the eighty mile gale
sweeping across the prairie began to be
felt During the night snow sifted into
upper and lower berths covering pas
sengers with wet blanket. All day
Friday the storms fury increased and
late in the afternoon the passengers
began to feel the first touch of suffer-
ing.
1t was necessary to send the pas
senger engine to the nearest tank for
water. and during its absence water,
steam and gas pipes froze in the
coaches and sleepers. Attempts were
made to light fires in the auxiliary coal
heaters but the strength Of the gale
was so great that the kindling wood
with which each car was provided
burned out before the coal ignited.
BY this time all of the passengers
were suffering from the cold. Snow was
sitting in thru the windows. the vesti-
bples ebtween cars were packed with
solid mass Of snow and all signs point
ed to an indefinite tie-up.
Before the train started from KIM
ball the private car Of President Sproul.
of the Southern Pacific railroad, was
switched on the rear Of the train. This
car was warm. Every other car on the
train except the diner was SO cold that
occupancy invited pneumonia.
When the passengers in the Pullman
discovered porters. walters and train
men riding in this comfortable car
they appealed to Train Conductor Jet
ter to permit them to ride IN the private
car, and when letter refused permis-
sion the passengers then appealed to
the men in charge Of the car, and were
again refused permission to enter.
This warm private car was travelling
light to New York, where it was to pick
up Mr.. Sproul.

assembage which was largely made
up Of youths, who had armed them
selves with ammunition of various de-
scriptions or with trumpetS. mouth
organs and bells. Her appearance at
the front of the platform was the sig
nal for an outburst of deafening noise
and bombardment OF missiles. She
hardly had uttered a word when clod
of turf struck her in the mouth
Mrs Drummond maintained her good
nature, smiled ut her tormentors and
continued her speech amid vcritable
tornado of abuse, cat-calls raStime
choruses and cries of go home to your
children"
For half an hour the crowds shouted,
sang and pelted the sufffagette COM
mander- chief. whose clothes soon
were a mass of mud. At last Mrs.
Drummond's speech came to an end
and a younger woman took her place.
She Jared no better and the police,
realizing the danger the women were
in. called upon the chairman to close
the meeting.
The police endeavored to pilot the
women to the tube station. but the
crowd brushed them aside and dragged
the woman up and down the street. In
the melee one woman's eye was black
ened and the clothes OF all were torn
and disheveled.
