Heavy Rains and Floods in
Arizona; Many Lives
in Danger
By Associated Press.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Snow ranging
in depth from two feet to an inch
to-day covered most of the country
between the Mississippi river and
the Sierra Nevada mountains, and
from Canada to Northern Texas,
with low temneratures prevailing
throughout the area. A slight snow
fall occurred in Northern Illinois.
Indiana and as far east as Toledo,
Ohio, while word came that some
snow fell in Los Angeles, Cal, and
that two inches of snow covered the
ground at the aviation field near
Riverside, Cal.
South of the snow belt heavy rains
fell and floods swept the lowlands
bordering the Salt and Aqua Fria
rivers in Arizona, with possible loss
of life.
Suffering in many places in the
central and southwest was in pros
pect because of the extreme cold
and the limited fuel supply resulting
from the coal strike. Cattle on the
western ranges also were reported
endangered.
In the western plains state trains
were badly delayed and wire COM
munication was crippled.
Lander, Wyo., was the coldest
place in the country, according to
reports the temperature there being
twenty degrees below zero. At AbiI-
enc, Texas, it was six degrees above
zero.
