Iwon received.
Owing to the fact that the cattle
range country Is beyond the snow line ,
fears for severe suffering among live
stock were dispelled.
Morning brought a letting up to the
storm and and the sun came out , as
was forecasted In yesterday's News.
Cnr Blown Out of Train.
The tremendous force of the gale
was shown In many instances. For one
thing , the wind picked up a loaded
furniture' car on the Northwestern
moving freight train near Noligh and
lifted it out of the train , off the rails
and onto the right of way. Superin
tendent C. H. Reynolds and Train
master Panglo went to the scene of
the accident nnd worked through the
blinding storm all night. The wreck
age was cleared at 5 a. m.
Cabs Put ; Out of Business.
Cab service' was put out of com
mission at S o'clock by the blizzard.
Up until that time the dozen cabs In
town had probably a hundred calls
where they could take care of one.
When the storm became so serious
that It was Impossible to see ahead ,
and almost Impossible for horses to
move in the face of the storm's fury ,
the cabmen drove into the stables for
the night.
Shows and places of amusement
closed for the night , the Quaker doc
tors , the Crystal and Lyric theaters
and the roller skating rink attempting
no programs.
Kept Down Town All Night.
Many business men were kept down
town all night , preferring to go to the
hotels rather than risk going home
against the storm on foot. People
caught visiting spent the night away
from homo and those who lived any
distance from Norfolk avenue were
glad to seek refuge for the night with
friends.
The Nebraska Telephone company
made arrangements for Us .central
girls to stay at the Oxnard hotel when
it found that the cab service was out
of commission.
Wind Damage.
The roof of the main shed of the
Edwards & Bradford Lumber com
pany on Second street was partially
removed by the wind.
A largo part of the front of the
Richard Peter blacksmith shop on the
corner of Second street nnd Brnasch
avenue was blown out into the street
by the storm.
Many shade trees in the resident
portions of the city were blown downer
or stripped of branches. In several
places the debris was strewn across
the sidewalk.
Two big gates locking the L. C. Mil-
telstadt lumber yard , and one at the
Chicago lumber yard. , were lifted oft
their hinges and laid ncross the side
walks.
A nlate glass window In the Scofiold
& Wetzfl jewelry store was cracked ,
and a plato glass window In Heeler
Brothers' store was broken in by thr
wind. One of E. N. Vail's windows
was also blown in about 12 o'clock
last night , causing considerable damage -
ago from snow. A largo pinto glass
window at Baum Brothers In the Cot
ton block was broken.
A big sign on the Fueslor building
was blown down. Drifts piled up on
sidewalks. Wires wore twisted nnd
strewn around the town.
Buildings looked like they'd been
whitewashed , so thickly had the wind
plnstered the wet snow upon the doors
and walls , where it froze fast.

Friends of Bun HnlverHtoln wore
greatly alarmed during the morning
by a report that ho had boon sent

Mr. Ground Hog Sees His Shadow.
Mr. Ground Hog , walking bright and
early Tuesday morning , stopped out
of his hole just as his father and his
grandslrcs have done before him. And
then , just as they saw theirs , he saw
his. He had expected to see It all the
time ami there It lay just to the west
of him. The shadow was there and
though the day was pleasant Mr.
Ground Hog , having no desire to
freeze through six more weeks of
winter , turned back Into his hole
Then he put the lid on , turned the
lights out and went to sleep.
Mr. Norfolk Ground Hog Is tiring of
setting his alarm clock for February
2. In 190S ho saw his shadow , froze
his nose in the first real winter
weather of the year and rend "nine
below" on the thermometer. He saw
his shadow In 1007 and 1900. In 1905
he ventured forth on the coldest day
01 the twentieth century. It was
thirty-live degrees below. He saw his
shadow. And so it has gone.
Merchant Shot Man in Brain.
Lindsay , Neb. , Feb. 1. Special to
The News : Nathan Bordy , a transient
merchant , shot a man named Johnson
over the right ear , the ball penetrat
Ing the brain , rendering the victim
unconscious. When he regnlned con
sciousness today he was given chloro
form and the bullet probed for , but it
had penetrated the brain so deep that
In order to got the bullet out the man
would have to be disturbed too much ,
so It was left in , awaiting further de
velopments. Hopes are held out for
recovery with the bullet In the brain.
Johnson Is a man about forty yenis
old , a charge of Mr. Rankin who came
here from Wahoo with him three
months ago. He was in the store run
by Nathan Bordy , a transient mer
chant , when Bordy had a Stevens 22-
calibre rltlo-bnrrel pistol which he had
been using for shooting mice. The
trigger worked very easily. Not think
ing It was loaded , ho was fooling with
It , resulting In shooting Johnson.
Bordy is almost frantic with grief.

Infected Milk ; Tuberculosis.
The testing of milk to discover
tuberculosis In cows was declared to
bo of prime Importance In the war
against consumption by Dr. G. A.
Young , retiring superintendent of the
Noifolk hospltnl , speaking at ttio high
school building hint evening under the
auspices of the Woman's club , which
organization the nation over once a
jeiir holds a meeting for the discus
sion of this disease.
Dr. Young told that following an
epidemic of tuberculosis in the Lin
coln hospital , the herds were tested
and It was found that something like
ItO per cent of the cows at the hos
pital had tuberculosis. Something of
the same condition was found at Hast
ings. The recent icst made of the
cows at the Norfolk hospital disclosed
no tuborular cattle. The Institution
uus also free of tuberculosis.
Dr. Young also urged women to
wear short skirts which would not
sweep the sidewalk. A third factor If
the fight would be the destruction of
all sputum from consumptives.
Tuberculosis from its nature was ,
ho snld , a curable disease If treated
before Its advance stages wore
reached. Fresh air ho said was the
remedy. He showed the tendency of
the healthy body to attack tubercular
germs when they first lodge In the in
ternal portions of the body.
Dr. Young's talk was declared to be
highly valuable and may lead to some
definite results. ' . ? . his address ho
outlined the provalance of tubercu
losis and the damage resulting , the
different ways in which the disease
.spread and the methods of prevention
and cure.
Several pleasing musical numbers
filled out the program.
About 150 people attended the meet-

The cracker factory could , It Is be
lieved , be run with considerable profit
In connection with the business al
ready built up by this Norfolk firm.
The members of me firm are confident
of the venture and want only the ad
ditional capital needed to branch out
In that direction.
The fact that the business already
hns a successful stnrt Is pointed out
ns an exceptlonnl factor In support of
the plans. The Lewis bakery was
built up In Norfolk from almost noth
ing. Five years ago one man did the
work that seven now do. Five years
ago the bakery had a capacity of 200
loaves a day. Now It turns out 2,000
loaves n day at this season and as high
as 4,000 loaves a day in the summer
season.
It would be the aim to stnrt a crack
er factory with n capacity of about
thirty-five barrels a day. The factory
would soon give employment to at
least thirty-five people.
The proposition yesterday afternoon
wns gene over by the directors of the
Commercial club nnd given their ap
proval. The moral support of the di-
reotors , individually nnd collective ,
wns pledged. The directors thought
that the proposition coming from an
outsider would have been given favor-
nble consideration and that It should
certainly receive no less consideration
coming from locnl people who have
already made n success In the same
line nnd who ask not a bonus but ad
ditional capital.
The promoters of the proposed
cracker factory will now let the mat
ter rest with local business men.
