The Blizzard.
The storm of Thursday, though of
only one-third the duration of the old
timer, is justly entitled to the name of
"blizzard." Snow was coming down in
great abundance, what little wind there
was being from a southerly direction,
when, all at once, without any warning,
the wind shifted to the northwest, and
the storm was on, continuing from 3
p. m., until 3 the next morning.
An unusual number of persons per
ished in the storm, probably owing
mostly to the suddenness of its coming.
It was at first feared that tbo loss of
stock would be far beyond any previous
year because of the sudden, fierce wind
and blinding snow driving them from
their feeding places and before the wind
into dangerous places. Such, however,
has not been the case, although the loss
of stock was pretty severe, here and
there.

INCIDENTS.

frosted. The boy found eomfortable
quarters at Abel Coffey's house.
The school children in this city were

Albaugh who piloted them home in
safety.
The report in Omaha dailies that Judge
Geo. W. Post had been lost in the storm,
while out bunting, had no foundation in
truth.

day of the storm were hunting on Buck
island, and got separated, Bert reaching

The opinion of the state supreme court
was delivered by his honor. Judge Max
well. The syllabus of the decision is as
follows:
1. The provisions of section 77, chap
ter 14, of the compiled statutes, author
izing a city in certain cases to appropri
ate the sum of $5 per lineal foot to aid
in the construction of a county bridge,
do not prevent a city situated on a
stream like the Loup river from issuing
bonds to aid in the construction of a
public bridge across such river.
2. Such bonds may le used to con
struct a bridge on a public thoroughfare,
although the bridge is outside of the
corporate limits.
As announced in last week's Jour
xal, the supreme court of this state has
decided the voting of $30,000 bonds to
build a bridge over the Loup river south
of Columbus, to be valid and in strict
conformity to law. The work will now
proceed so soon as the weather will per
mit, and the preliminaries can be ar
ranged. Hon. J. J. Sullivan, city attor
ney, who managed the case in favor of
the bonds, deserves much credit for bis
close attention to the case and the legal
ability he brought to its management.

- The Quill is having quite a discus
sion with some of the Schuyler ministers
over its charge of drunkenness against
church members, and rejoins vigorously
to a charge of untruthfulness. The
Quill had. among other things, said: "A
large per cent, of Schuyler's church
people aro drunkards in a more or less
degree," and says now that "not only
are thore drunkards, but habitual drunk

Quill, "that a man who gets drunk three
times a year is an habitual drunkard."
