LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. A.-The
storm which swept central and
western Nebraska most OF Thursday,
continued through the night and was
still raging in some sections of the
state this morning, but with gradu-
ally diminishing intensity. A wind
that reached velocity Of forty-five
miles an hour piled drifts of snow in
places ten feet high. Railroad serv-
Ice on lines of the Burlington and
Northwestern were demoralized to-
day. not through train reaching
Lincoln on time from midnight last
night. Between Lincoln and Ra-
VIENNA and Lincoln and Hastings. on
the Burlington, traffic was 2racti-
cally abandoned. Frustrated tele-
graph and telephone wires added to
the handicap OF moving trains. In
the short distance between Crete and
Fairmont, sixty poles were blown
flat, and conditions in this respect
were almost as bad between Aurora
and Grand Island. The through train
from st. Louis to the northwest on
the Burlington, reaching here short
ly after midnight. was held in the
Lincoln yards until morning.
Conditions on the Northwestern
road close to the South Dakota line
were particularly bad. Towns west
of Inman, in Holt county. where tso-
lated, and east OF that place four
freight trains were stalled. In tho
Rosebud country, around Bonesteel,
the storm ragged fiercely during the
night. Country roads were impass-
able on account of the drifts. and
cattle on the range suffered.
In Lincoln, where there was
rainfall Of nearly two inches. the fall
of snow was light, but the wind blew
a gale, and this morning the tenn
perature was slowly falling.
