DIFFICULTIES OF TRAVEL.
Council Bluffs Debaters Delayed One
Day in Journey to Fort Dodge.

Day in Journey to Fort Dodge.
Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Feb. 10.-The ex-
periences which the Council Bluffs
high school debating team and in
structors had in trying to reach Fort
Lodge and home again for the triangu-
lar debate, well illustrate the serious
ness of the snow blockades on the rail-
roads of western and central Iowa the
past week. The members of the party
left here Friday morning over the
Great Western and were to be in Fort
Dodge that afternoon. They were only
able to reach Manning, where their
train was stalled for eighteen hours
in the snow after repeated attempts
to go forward. While at Manning one
of the numerous interesting expert
ences which aided in relieving the
tedium OF the trip, occurred. The stove
in one of the cars smoked up and
filled the car to suffocation. All of the
passengers but one tired sleeper hur-
riedly left and were grouped about the
door watching their baggage from this
safe distance. The one sleeper had
been forgotten until he awoke with a
start and scream--"Save me: save
me- ne yelled in mortal terror and
half asleep. From Manning the de-
baters managed to reach Perry over
the Milwaukee and from there they
got to Fort Dodge over the Minneapolis
& ST. Louis. one day late, and the de-
bate was held Saturday night.
Starting home Sunday the members
of the party We're only able to get as
far as Carroll ON the Great Western,
from which they transferred to the
Northwestern, reaching home early
Sunday morning. The Wall Lake line
of the Northwestern was not opened
until today.
