OF lM!gJRDERESS GRILLED
STATE SWEPT
BY BLIZZARD.
LOSSES LOOM

Some losses in the sheep industry
are expected throughout Wyoming
because of the storm which has been
sweeping the state during the past
is hours caught the sheep men at
the very time when spring lambiny
was getting under way. Those who
have not started lambing will OF
course weather the crisis without
much trouble.
Little possibility of a letup in the
storm generally is not looked for
until tomorrow.
a blizzard tore It's way through
Wyoming yesterday coming from the
east and brought with 1t attendant
moisture. Casper has been in the
midst OF this spring setback and has
worn a discouraged look. The streets
are unusually slushy from the warm
snow and rain. but this condition is
being somewhat dlsslpated today.
The precipitation up to the present
time has been estimated at four
inches of snow fall. Because OF the
heavy wind 1t was somewhat diff
cult to measure.
