DEEP SHOW COYERS
THE ENTIRE STATE
New Fall Ruijei from Two to
Eighteen Inches and Will Be
Big Help to All Crops.
NO DAMAGE TO LIVE STOCK
Nebraska awoke to find its ffcee cov
ered with from two to eighteen inches of
new snow, It being the fall of Thursday
and Thursday night. This was the re
port that came to the rallronds from their
agents and division superintendents. Ac
cording to these reports, there was no
locality In the state that was mlseed by
the snowstorm.
In most localities the snow continued
falling until well Into the night, when It
cleared and the temperature began to
drop, 18 degrees below at Nebraska City
being the coldest. However, there were
other cold spots and of the Burlington
stations that sent In weather reports,
fifty in Nebraska showed sero and below.
It was apparently the coldest through
the east and central portions of the state.
Palmer and Erlcson reported 15 below;
Howard and Sargent, 14; Hastings and
Stromsburg, 12, with Aurora, Loup City.
Central City, Broken Bow, Dunning and
a icore of other towns 8 to 10 below.
Heaviest Is Eaat.
The snow appeared to t the heaviest
along the Missouri river In the northern
and southern portions of the state.
Through these sections the railroads
found the snowfall from four to eight
inches, with two feet In the Black Hills
to the north and In a good many por
tions of Wyoming. Out In the central
and western portions of the state there
was from two to eight I nc ho of snow.
So far as ths railroads are concerned
the storm Is net giving any concern. Ac
companying It there was little or no wind,
and consequently it has not drifted any
except on some of the high table lands
where there are no cuts.
Trains were practically all on time and
trainmen coming In from the west re
port clear, calm and cold weather. They
assert that farmers and ranchmen have
not sustained any stock losses on account
of the storm. All of the animals were
given shelter before the storm set In
and kept there until it ceased.
