Rains In South

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-A blanket OF
snow. ranging from a fraction of an
inch TO two feet, today covered most
of the country west OF the Mississippi
river and extended as far east as To
lado. Ohio, with low temperature pre-
vailing throughout the area. South of
the snow belt heavy rains fell and
floods swept the lowlands bordering
the Salt and Aqua Fria rivers in Ari-
xona, with possible loss OF life.
Suffering in many places in the cen
trial and southwest was in prospect be-
cause OF the extreme cold and the al
most fuelless condition resulting
from the coal strike. Cattle on the
western ranges also we're reported en-
dangered.
Two to four inches was reported
from Kansas to the Sierra Nevada
mountains. with maximum falls of two
feet in northern Arizona and twelve
inches in western Kansas. In some
places. however, the snow drifted to
depths of six feet.
