Wires Are Also Down.
WALKS ARE ONE GLARE OF ICE

Omaha and surrounding territory
was practically cut off from COM
munication with the outside world
for several hours after o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the consequence
of rain and sleet freezing on tele-
graph and telephone wires.
The Western Union had no wires
west at all until nearly o'clock,
and could get word from Chicago
only by relaying messages over a
circuitous route. The Associated
Press and railroads we're practically
in the same condition.
The trouble zone, as farm as could be
ascertained, extended for about sixty
five miles on all sides of Omaha.
The rain Of SATURDAY. and moisture in
the air OF Sunday, freezing on the wires,
pulled them down by sheer force OF
weight.
Uncle sam Hears Nothing.
The weather bureau could get no re-
port as to the extent of the storm.
Union Pacific wires to the west all went
down at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. so
that Omaha could get nor information
from any point west OF North Bend. A
travelling man who came into North Bend
reported that the storm was raging
around Grand Island so fierceiy that it
was impossible TO see across the street.
The Union Pacific kept its trains NOV
ing, although it was impossible to make
time because the wires were down and
the trainmen had TO rely entirely on the
block signal system.
From the Burlington reports II was evil
dent that the storm was much worse in
the northern part OF the state than in the
southern. as the line to Denver was kept
open The worst Burlington trouble was
TO the northwest, and officials were not
able to hear from any point beyond AL
lance. 1t was sleeting hard at Ravenna.
In Omaha pedestrians experienced
trouble in getting about on slippery pave
ments and walks. The frozen moisture
gave the walks veneer of ice that made
travel an exceedingly ticklish as well as
a dangerous proposition.
