THE WHITE TERROR.
Greatest Snow Blockade Ever Known
in North-Western Kansas.
THE ST. FRANCIS BRANCH
For Forty-Three Miles Locked With Ice
and Snow for Fourteen Days.
Special Saturday , March 23 , a blinding
blizzard burst forth with awful fury and trav
ersed llie territory adjacent to the Orleans
and tit. Francis branch of the Hurlington that
spands Rawlins and Cheyenne counties in the
extreme North-Western portion of Kansas.
Sheets of wet snow driven by a terrific
north-wester obscured the landscape and
darkened day into the dusk of evening. All
day long with unabated fury indescribable ,
the white terror piled high filling the deep cuts
of the Burlington and blanketing the vast
plains with a carpet of fine hardened snow
two to three feet on the level. When Mon
day's day broite the line of the Burlington for
forty-three miles west of Atwood was under a
complete blockade , the right-of-w a y a n d
trackage obscured , and no one could descry a
railroad there except for the line of telegraph
poles and the red station-houses of McDon
ald , Bird City and St. Francis , Kansas , halt
buried under drifts. Monday , March 25th , all
trains were annuled between Orleans and St.
Francis , Kansas , a distance of 134 miles ; that
day the snow-plow with a double-header and
emergency train under Train Master Kenyon
of McCook and Wrecking Foreman Emerson
with a large gang of men went to the big
drifts of the Blakeman hills and commenced
a task so formidable that its equal is scarcely
known in the annals of snow blockades
These cuts were filled with hardened icy snow
so compact that when struck by the snowplow -
plow huge blocks , half ton in weight , flew
above the smoke-stack. The great force of
two engines against a solid wall of drift wore
on the head engine , and the snow-plow was
demolished and engine derailed. Manyhouis
of tedious labor , standing in slush and mud
several feet in depth , were experienced before
the locomotive was tracked again. Another
snow-plow was secured and after a week of
hardest labor with pick , shovel and snowplow -
plow the cuis of the Jilakeman hills were
tunneled and the plains of Beardsley reached.
For six miles traversing many curves , the
Burlington right-of-way winds its serpentine
trail through the Blakeman hills. One cut ,
seventy feet deep , was filled from twenty to
twenty-five feet for three-fourths of a mile ,
and many others packed with snow. The
spectacle presents itself of a series of snow
tunnels , scarcely wide enough for a train to
thread its way through.
From March 23rd to April 6th , St. Francis
and Bird City were cut off from the world by
mail and rail. A fuel famine and shortage of
provisions prevai'ed : stock in great numbers
perished and general distress was exper
ienced. April 2nd , the first train came into
McDonald , Kansas , since March 23rd , coal ,
freight , and ten days mail on board. For sev
eral days the people of this famished town
were burning loose railroad ties , fence posts ,
old lumber and living on limited rations.
When the snow-plow with Train Master
Kenyon , Emerson and their tired gallant
workers reached St. Francis , late in the after
noon of Friday , April 5th , the whole popula
tion of St. Francis and adjacent county met
them with wild cheers and heart-felt demon
stration. This beleaguered town having been
for fourteen days shut out from the outside
world ; for two weeks imprisoned by the
demon snow clutched in the icy grasp of
storm king ; for a fortnight without letter or
daily newspaper locked in a vast plain of
deep snow. The blockade crew consisting of
Conductor Wm. Shinsel , Brakemen Childers
and Meyers , Engineer Tony Clark and Fire
man . Mail Clerk Voorhees and
Express Messenger Arnold , who had been
snowed in since March 23rd , had orders to re
turn to Oxford , Neb. With train ready they
steamed out of station and never was a hap
pier crew liberated from a forced and monoto
nous imprisonment. At the same time the
west-bound train in charge of Conductor Caf-
frey with Lundbery and Will Turley , brakemen -
men , Engineer J. Haskett , Fireman
Mail Clerk Fairchild and Messenger
was threading its way through the snow
tunnels of the Blakeman hills and arrived on
the plains of Beardsley.
The relief train had on board twelve days
mail , express and freight for t e beleaguered
towns of St. Francis and Bird City , when with
cyclonic fury a terrific blizzard burst forth ,
driving blinding sheets of fine snow. One-
half mile east of McDonald , Kansas , train 171
stuck in a snow drift 600 feet long and five
feet deep. The crew pulled part of train to
McDonald and all efforts to succor the drifted
train were in vain. This was about 8:30 p. m. ,
Thursday , and the coaches lay there until
about 8 a. m. Satuiday , when a shrill whistle
announced the rescuer in shape of a snowplow -
plow and big gang ot men under charge of
Master Mechanic Archibald. The train was
soon dug out and side-tracked at McDon
ald. The blizzard caught the snow-plow that
was on its way to succor train I/I in the Bird
City cut. The snow-plow under Archibald ,
after relieving the west-bound train , hastened
to rescue the buried snow-plow under Ken
yon , that had been fast for twenty-four hours ,
with thirty-five men completely exhausted.
In the afternoon , Saturday , April 6th , the
snow-plow was relieved at St. Francis and a
blockade that had lasted for fourteen days
was ended. No army ever battled under
greater difficulties against a more stubborn
unyielding foe than did Kenyon and Emerson
and their band of thirty odd workers in the
walls of snow midst the deep cuts of the Blake
man hills.
The snow-plow crews were made up of
Conductor II. A. Rouch , Brakemen George
Bunting and H. J. Hines , and Engineers M.
A. Gates and Thad Shepherd , all of McCook.
On the east end for fourteen days the crews
were running eighteen to twenty-two hours
daily. Mail clerk on east end did double
duty without relief and worked against thiee
train crews and two express messengers ,
making round trip daily , working eighteen
to twenty-two hours , having two to three days
mail jn car , three trips east and three trips
west ; with all the star routes blockaded , this
mail was very heavy and the loss of sleep and
long hours on duty during the twelve days of
the blockade made it extremely exhausting
mentally and physically. It was a task Hint
tried a man's soul and nerve to the severest
test scarcely with a parallel in the annals of
mail blockades. This blockade was widely
advertised by the daily press and will remain
a matter of history , known heyond the borders
of Nebraskaknown , where 'ere the daily press
is published. II. C. F.

A wife' * n
A party of young uicu v/cro taking
dluner a few nights ago at a fashiona
ble cafe , when one of them who la
somewhat of a jester called the waiter
and said. :
"John , go and call Main on the
'phone. If a woman answers , It will
be my wife. Tell her that I instructed
I you to say that I am In the police sta
tion for u few hours and will not be at
home for dinner. Say to her that the
possibilities are that I shall not be at
home tonight. Understand me , sir ? "
John winked a couple of times in a
knowing way , bowed deferentially and
suggested :
"Supposin"
"Supposing nothing , sir ! If she asks
who is talking , tell her It is the turn
key at the Central station , and she'll
never know who told her the He. "
The waiter shambled away and was
presently seen to be having a good deal
of fun with himself. The Jester infer
red that it might have something to do
with his case and called him over.
"What's amusing you , John ? "
"Wouldn't like to tell you , sir ; at
least right here. "
"I guess these fellows understand.
Let'ergo ! "
"Missus says to tell her husband she
Is glad he is so nicely located for the
night. She knows where he is for
once. " Cleveland Leader.
Wonderful Con rase.
That was a magnificent feat per
formed by a French regiment when
they were fighting the Austrians. It.
happened a long time ago , but the inci
dent was marked by such superlative
valor that it will never be forgotten.
The regiment , under Colonel Walhu-
bert , was sent to take an intrenohment
of the Austrians in the heights of the
Simplon pass. Arriving at the point ,
they found the enemy solidly intrench
ed in what appeared to be an impreg
nable position. In front of their re
doubts and quite separating them from
the French force was a deep chasm
through which ran a mountain torrent.
How to get across was a problem
seemingly impossible to solve. But the
colonel was equal to it. He found a
long , straight tree with a trunk almost
a foot in thickness. This he ordered
to be cut down , and the trunk was ac
tually thrust across the chasm under a
galling Ore. The colonel gave the word
to pass over one man at a time.
The first was shot and pitched down
to death in the chasm. The second and
third shared his fate , but presently a
few succeeded in the desperate at
tempt. Then the colonel followed ,
formed the little party on the other
side and charged. The enemy , dumfounded -
founded at such extraordinary brav
ery , left their position and fled. Gas-
sell's.
His One Brave Deed.
She was a hero worshiper.
Often she would read history Just to
find some new hero to worship.
Otherwise she would read such nov
els as "Beautiful Betsy , the Belle of
the Brassworks ; or , The Baronet's
Bride. "
Of course this made her feel that she
had married beneath her , for her hus
band had not grown round shouldered
from wearing heavy medals.
Occasionally she would tell him that
she wished he was a hero.
Once the foolish man told her that he
would be a hero if he had a chance.
"You would ? " she said in tones of
incredulity. "Did you ever do any
thing in your life that looked like brav
ery or that seemed valorous in after
years ? "
He thought of the day when they
played Mendelssohn's "Wedding
March" and he gave the minister § 10
and she became his wife.
But he didn't say anything about it
For a true hero never talks about his
glorious , daring deeds.
So she never knew that her husband
was a hero.
Isn't it a sad , sad story ? Baltimore
American.
Loyalty.
A Durham collier recently took unto
himself a wife whose friends had done
their utmost to dissuade her from mar
rying , but without success.
Meeting her one day some months
after her marriage , a friend remarked :
"Hello , Bess ! Yer look right bad !
Has 'e been a-thumping yer ? I knowed
what it would be , but yer would have
'im. Everybody said Bob 'ud mak' a
fitbail of yer ! "
"Then everybody was wrong ! " snap
ped the ill used wife. "We've been
married this eight months , and I ain't
a-going to say we had no little shin
dies , but to give our Bob 'is due I will
say as 'e ain't had to use 'is foot yet.
So there ! " Exchange.
Her Base Ingratitude.
When Duchenois. the great French
actress , died , some one met an old man
who had been her intimate friend and
who was apparently crushed with ser
row. Kindly meant professions of sym
pathy and consolation failed to cheer
him. "For , " said he , "it is not so much
her loss which troubles me as her base
ingratitude. Can you credit it ? She
left me nothing in her will , and yet I
dined with her at her own house three
times a week regularly for 30 years ! " i
Little Interruptions.
"My boy , " said the first proud papa ,
"has a bad habit of interrupting me
when I'm talking. Your kid isn't old
enough for that yet. "
"No , " replied the other. "My boy
contents himself with interrupting me
when I'm sleeping. " Philadelphia
