Yesterday was one of the most disa
greeable days North Platte has ever
experienced; from morning until even
ing the wind blew a gale and the dust'
filled the air with such densjty that
objects a block distant were indiscern
ible. One inhaled dust;' if he opened his
mouth it was filled with gritty substance;
eyes and ears were filled, dust and sand
covered everything; it sifted through
the most tightly fitted windows and
doors. Tram men who came in from
Grand Island lust evening said they
never experienced a more severe dust
storm, the conditions along the line
being as bad as here.
