- Il Yell-Storm General.

A wet snOwstOrm set in here Tues
day about noon and continued
throughout the day and night and
up to about o'clock yesterday af
ternoon. Tuesday most of the snow
melted as it fell until evening when
it began to pile up, and yesterday
morning there was fully six inches
OF heavy wet snow on the level.
The subsequent precipitation
augmented this to nearly a foot In
this part of the valley, completely
paralyzing rail traffic. The Arkan-
sas Valley branch passenger which
leaves here at a. m. did not go out
Wednesday at all on account of the
impossible road.
On the main line there were no
trains either way through Holly
from early Wednesday morning
until o'clock in the afternoon
when snow plOw from La Junta
passed through east to clear the
main line Passenger train No.
reached here from the west about
$50.
All trains were tied up from Syria
cuse. Kas, on east to and beyond
Dodge City. During the night, how
ever, the tracks were cleared and
trains are running today not far off
the regular schedule.
The wet snow and lower tcmpera-
ture was severe on stock, particular
ly to feeders which were in weak
ened conditions as result of the
iseayy winter and scarcity of feed,
and it Is feared that the loss of cat
tie will he as great II not greater
than during the storms Of last win
ter owing to cattles weakened con
diti0n.
Had none of 1t melted the snow
fall throughout the lower valley
would probably. have reached a
depth of 16 to Is inches 1t is warm
ing up today and the snow will
probably be off by the later part of
the week.
The storm is reported general
throughout Colorado, Kansas, Ne
braska and Wyoming.

Run squarsly into the Flu.

A letter received by The Chieftain
last week from Mrs. !, w. H.
Woodhouse at Valley Center, Kas..
states that both she and her two
children are just removering from
influenza. She and the children
had kept in all winter here at Holly
and had taken every precaution
against the malady, but immediate
ly upon their arrival at Macksville,
where they stopped to visit her sis
ter all were taken with the dis
ease at the same time.

cos4a1rs SUICIDE.
Al Templin, Stonington Barber,
Takes Own Life with Pistol.

AL. Templin, aged about So years,
who had operated barber shop
for the past six or seven years at
Stonington, last Friday some time
went to an abandoned house about
three quarters of mile from town
and there blew out his brains with
q .32-calibre automatic pistol
Templin left note bidding fare
well to friends but gave no reason
for his rash act. He had been re-
garded as mentally deranged for
some time, though none OF his
friends had felt that he would at
tempt his own life.
The exact hour of Templin's
death is not known as he was
found dead by a passerby in the
house in the evening.

SHIRLEY MADE PREsDENf

Z. A. Northrup Elected Town Treas

Tenn. J. q. Fuller Marshal, Watsr
Superintendent and Electrician.

MayOr-Elect Steele and the new
members of the town council, hav-
ing previously qualified, the new
council convened in initial session
Monday night and formally orgaiz-
ed for busiess. Strange as it may
seem every member was present and
the body transacted business with
the dispatch of an old body of staid
solOns
After the allowance of the current
bills of the month the organization
OF the council for the ensuing year
was completed by the. election of
the following gentlemen:
E. d. Shirley, mayor pro TEN.
p. A. NOrthrup, town treasurer.
L. G. Demaray, town clerk.
+. II. Puntenney, clerk pro tenn.
j. g. Fuller, city marshal, water
Superintendent and city electrician.
Dr. II. ID. Wilson, health officer.
w. w. HeckethOrn, plumbing in
spectOr.
}. nj. Shields, fire chief.
j. A. Wilson, city engineer.
Mayor Steele then appointed the
following standing committees:
Water WOrks-L. M. Appel, E. D.
Shirley and f. H. Allen.
Streets and Alleys-C E. Fortney,
NJ. U. DeWald and r. r. Brown.
ConstructiOn--H. d. Steele, r. r.
Brown and G.. Z. Fortney
Auditing E. d. Shirley, F. H. AL
len and c. e. FOrtney.
Fire and Police-R. r. Brown, NJ.
U. DeWald and L. NJ Appel.
The mayor and council designated
Thursday, April 18th, as Clear Up"
day and authorized the issuance of
posters by City Marshal Fuller nOti-
flying all residents to clean up all
refuse about their premises and
place in piles convenient for city
haulers to take it away on next
Thursday, April 18th.
Trustee Ray Brown rendered his
resignation and B. B. Overfield was
elected by the council to fill the va
cancy.
Despite the fact that this was the
first meeting of the new council
everything went through without q
hitch and the various elections and
were affected Witnout
opposition or hitch of any sort and
the council had finished the mass of
business by 10 o'clock, which City
.Ier.. 4. G. Demaray says is almost
without precedent in the history of
the town as far as he can recall.
With this harmonious and au-
spicious beginning the council has
cleared the way for an effective and
efficient administration of the
towns affairs for the ensuing year
and the usual quibblings which
usually hamper a towns business
affairs would seem to have been en-
tirely put aside.
1t is to be hoped, therefore. that
every resident may line up in an
informal good citizenship league,
and when anything needing the at
tention Of the mayor or council
will be presented to the mayor OF
the council as whole, minus the
outside cussing and knocking.
