TWENTY FIFTH YEAR
Items of the Big- Storm
While McCook and vicinity escaped
the severity of the snowstorm Monday
and Tuesday the west end of the divis
ion did not escape so easily Snow
conditions between Yuma Colo and
Barr Colo were especially difflcultand
trains were delayed many years
Stock casualties were very numerous
scores of animals being killed on the
track by the snowplows and regular road
engines
The storm Monday and Tuesday de
layed traffic on the McCook Imperial line
badly The stock special of Tuesday
was unable to negotiate the deep snow
between Wauneta and Imperial and fin
ally some cars and the engine tender got
off the trask and the train did not reach
McCook on the return trip until Wed
nesday afternoon at five oclock The
snowplow went up about four oclock
Wednesday morning and opened up the
line for traffic during the morning No
train being run Wednesday service was
given on Thursday
Conditions on the Alliance division
were worse than on the McCook division
the deep snow being intensified by lack
of coal McCook division was also some
what short on the black diamonds
caused in great measure by the heavy
demand on motive power in handling
heavy stock shipments
