Carl Kaufl'man was a Norfolk vis

Mrs. Henry Van Horn has gene to

with her brother.
1) . M. .lonos anil M. Havel of Pierce
wore down to see how the blizzard
acted in Norfolk.
T. F. Memmlngur is In the city to
day from Madison. Ho has just re
turned from a trip through the south.
Train No. 11 was two hours behind
time because of the bllzxa'/.rd.
The telephone people had their
share of line trouble and there wore
a number of phones that were retired
from service during the storm and
others that were sadly mixed.
A number of north sldo windows
wore broken , north doors refused to
stay closed without propping anil
some of the swinging storm doors
were ripped from their hinges.
Norfolk friends have been notified
of the death of Frank , the baby sou
of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Woller , former
ly of this city , which occurred at
their new home in Nebraska City af
ter the little boy had suffered for two
weeks from pneumonia.
The soft snow and the strong wind
performed one service that was ap
preciated. The north and west sides
of the buildings received a triple plat
ing of ice and snow that hermetical
ly sealed all cracks and crevices to
the exclusion of the nipping blasts.
After a storm of that character It
is surprising that the temperature
was not further reduced. The mer
cury refused to go more than a few
degrees below free/.lng at any time
in the game and but for the wind the
rold would not have been uncomfort
able.
Not a cloud was in the way of the
sun as it rose this morning and the
warmth that was developed penetrat
ed the north breeze sufficiently to begin -
gin chipping the ice and the snow
from protected places early in the
day. With the going down of the
wind the last of the snow and Ice will
he promptly removed.
Manager George F. Didwcll , of the
Northwestern road , was on the train
which carried the Nebraska Indians
eastward and which was wrecked in
the suburbs of Chicago Thursday
morning National Cotnmlttooman
Schneider was another , from Fremont.
Persons who may have boon on from
Norfolk have not boon heard from.
SKULL TRAMPLED BY HIS TEAM
Dan Lynch , Going Home From Atkin
son , is Victim of Frightful
Accident.
Atkinson , Neb. , April 9. Special to
The News : A man named Dan Lynch
of Inez , Nob. , was badly kicked by a
team of horses that ho had recently
purchased and which were newly
broken to harness. He stopped at
the homo of George Aiken on his way
home from Atkinson at noon and as
he passed in to feed thorn , the horses
viciously trampled him and cut the
scalp open from the front of his head
to the back , slicing open a gash of
ten Inches or more. Mr. Aiken ran
in behind the team and pulled the man
out from beneath the horses' feet A
few minutes more would have left
Mr. Lynch dead as the animals grew
wild in their frenzy. Dr. Sturdovant
was called by telephone to the bed-
sldo of the injured man and after
some hours of work had him in as
good condition as could bo expected.
Ho is doing as well as could bo hoped
but his wounds may yet prove fatal.

The storm raged with great fury
from Thursday evening until into yo.s-
torday.
Not only arc the railroads block-
oiled with gigantic drifts with trains
stalled at Intervals along ( 'lie line ,
but the telegraph wires have boon
prostrated to such an extent that it
will probably bo two weeks before
wire communications nro restored
with the Isolated sections of the north
ern country-
It was the worst storm of the noa-
son and the railroad and telegraph
companies have put out largo forces
of men to restore tralilc and commu
nication.
FREEZING WEATHER.
Temperature In Nebraska and Iowa
Falls 25 Degrees.
Omaha , April S ) . Froozlng weather
prevails over Nebraska and western
Iowa as the result of the blizzard.
The temperature fell twenty-five de
grees between yesterday morning and
night and It Is bollovod that much
damage was done , particularly toward
the south where vegetation had made
a further advance than In the north
ern portion of the storm-swept , terri
tory.
TRAFFIC INTERRUPTED.
Trains Did Not Run on Schedule
Time Celaring Away.
The storm lias cleared away and a
bright , blno sky rests ever northern
Nebraska today. After one of the
worst bliz/.ards that has boon known
In the west so generally for many
years , the snow lias quit Hying and
the wind goes merrily on. With a
gale that whistled ever those prairies
at the rate of fifty miles an hour ,
blowing blinding shoots of nloct and
snow through the atmosphere and
carrying men and boasts off their
foot , the storm was bound to damage.
It Is feared that a great deal of loss
has resulted in cattle upon the ranges.
As yet it is dllliciilt to got definite
reports , but the storm lasted too long
and with too much ferocity not to
liavo boon disastrous.
Trains ran remarkably well ever
this territory. The only trouble was
on the Honcstoel line at Wlnatoon ,
where freight train No. 71 was stuck
in a drift and unable to move either
way. All the afternoon the crow
struggled in vain against the drifts
that had piled up for seven or eight
foot and for a time it seemed Impos
sible to get results. At ! o'clock this
morning , however , aided by an engine
from Norfolk , the freight was dugout
and the track cleared. The Honesteol
passenger train coming east was de
layed two hours and a half on this
account but the early morning train
from the west was on time in spite
of the snow.
Drifts are High.
In the northwest it Is reported that
drifts which stood to the awnings of
the store buildings , were blown up
by the storm. Norfolk was fortunate
ly omitted from this state of affairs.
The storm was a very general one.
Reports from all over the state indi
cate the blizzard. It also extended
south through Kansas and Missouri.
Arising no doubt from the same at
mospheric condition of low pressure
to the south , a tornado swept through
Texas which killed several persons.
The peculiar feature of it all was
that the weather department failed
utterly to forecast it. The explana
tion no doubt will prove that the very
high pressure arose In the far north
of Canada , where ( hero nro no telegraph -
graph wires , and where advance reports -
ports are impossible. This is about
the only locality In which a storm
can como up without the weather
man gultng wiso.

NORFOLK TRADE CENTER OR NOT ?
It Will Depend Upon the Dispositions
of the Business Men Whether
it is Developed ,
A good many business people In
Norfolk used to think that they
couldn't get results from advertising
because there was no medium which
would carry their ads beyond people
who passed their stores every day.
That condition has now boon over
come. Today The News , an Associat
ed I'ross newspaper. Is read In over
11,000 homes of northern Nebraska
and reaches people of three distinct
territories , viz : local renders In
Norfolk ; towns and rural routes for
a distance of 150 miles In all direc
tions throughout northern Nebraska.
If Norfolk Is to bo a genuine trade
center , It must bo made known to the
people who are expected to patronl/.o
Norfolk stores. Reasons why people
should como here must bo given to
tlio people who are to como not only
ono day or ono month in the year ,
but every month and every day. If
people nro now going to Omaha or
buying of catalogue houses , they are
doing it because those firms have
cleverly advertised. There is no use-
criticising the purchasers who spend
their money in that way the condi
tion must be ovorcomo.ln n natural
way and that natural way is to nd-
vertlso just as effectively as do these
outside frnis. When a merchant who
p-ofUu by the advertising which has
boon given to his town by a nowspa-
pe.r will shako his head and declare
that ho can't afford to advertise him
self that ho can't got results , It Is
time for the outside patroiiago to go
on through that town and to buy goods
where they know something about ,
things.
