GRASP OF WORST
STORM OF SEASON
Sudden Drop in Thermometer
Follows Blizzard Which
Blocks Streets.
MANY TRAINS DELAYED
Telephone and Telegraph Companies
Suffer-Heavy Snow May Dam
age Ice Harvest.

Rock Island suffered last night In
the grasp of the worst storm of the
present winter season, the blizzard
commencing early in the evening and
not ending its fury until early this
morning. Railroad trains on all lines
were more or less delayed today as
result of the storm, the street railway
lines of the tri-cities were hindered in
traffic during the night, while the
telephone and telegraph companies ex.
perienced some trouble, though not
10 any great extent in fallen lines and
poles:
Only Half Inch Of Snow.
Some surprise will be occasioned
by the official snow fall report from
Davenport, Forecaster ]. NJ Sherier of
the government station stating that
only .35 of an inch of snow fell during
the night, this OF course being the
average precipitation. Many thought
that it would total two or three inches,
but the wind had blown it into drifts,
making the fall appear much deeper
than is really the case.
Snow May Damage Ice.
There is plenty of coal in the tri-
cities to meet the demand as no
shortage of any kind has been ex-
perienced here. The coal dealers are
therefore smiling today as business
has somewhat picked up within the
past few days; but not so with the ice
men. 1t is true that the weather is
sufficiently cold to produce thick ice.
but the snow has been so heavy that
some worry has been caused. The
ice dealers are commencing to Won
der if they are destined to pass
through the season without an ice
crop, for even If the present cold
spell continues for a week or 10 days
longer, there may be some possibility
of a good freeze; but every cold spell
this winter has been followed by sud-
den warm weather and dealers are
therefore at loss to know whether or
not they Will again be disappointed.
Seven degrees above zero was the
coolest register of last night.
