Minneapolis, March 9o.-Food die
tatorship was declared by Northern
Pacific conductor. on the Turtle Lake
branch line in North Dakota, when
a train was stalled for 81 hours in a
snowdrift Friday. Arthur Headley,
salesman for a Chicago electrical con-
cerh, told about 1t when he reached
Minneapolis.
About noon. the storm broke
around the train. then between Turtle
Lake and Darlington. 1t stopped half
way through q cut There was no
diner. Passengers who had not
brought along the customary shoebox
faced hunger.
Conductor John wimble immedi-
ately made q food survey Of the
train. intending to seize express ship
ments. There were no shipments OF
food. Somebody was sending a live
owl to Fargo. but Wimble couldn't
see that kind Of q bird.
Desperate. he declared food die
tatorship. Walking through the cars,
he s4ized every lunch in sight, most
of which were given up willingly. The
conductor got all the lunch together
in the smoker. whore it was parceled
out. Money was worthless.
Saved the necessity Of furnishing
steam to propel the engine, the sup
ply of fuel proved sufficient to keep
the train warm. When tho drinking
water gave out, some Of the passen-
gers shoveled up clean snow and
