swept south along the Rockies to-
day, blanketing Montana and Wyo-
ming with snow and hampering
rescue efforts in Eastern Colorado
where many families still are ma
rooned and much livestock is weak
ened by two weeks without food.
The Weather Bureau said the
snow would be light, but predicted
strong winds that would drift the
snow already on the ground, and low
temperatures when cattlemen said
would cause heavy livestock losses.
The storm centered along the east
ern slope Of the mountains.
1t came on the heels Of the third
storm to strike Colorado within two
weeks. bringing death to IS persons.
Relief Operations Halted.
Snow and wind, originating from
a cold air mass that came out of
the West, gave the blizzard-swept
plains another lashing yesterday,
wiping out the gains made at clear
ing roads and virtually halting Red
Cross-Army relief operations from
Rush, 40 miles east of Colorado
Springs.
Crews worked a week opening a
36-mile road from Hugo to Karval
only to have new drifts close it
within 80 minutes after they were
through.
Cattlemen who could get their
livestock to railheads rushed 1t to
markets, but thousands of head OF
cattle remained without food since
the blizzard started two weeks ago.
Woman Dies of Exposure.
With many families not heard
from for two weeks, relief workers
