not so Intense now as It was then
when It reached 17 degrees below tho

8 degreoa above.
The rains which preceded this woro
cold and affected cattlo very material-
ly to ubo a cattleman's phrnso thoy
wero "badly drawn" when this bliz-
zard struck them nnd In many locali
ties whoro feed Is scarco tho result
will provo disastrous. That cattlo
will suffer sovoroly on tho rango la a
foregono conclusion.
Tho fall of snow la ostlmatod at
from 10 to 12 Inchos and Is drifted bad-
ly. Tho ground was full of water pre-
vious to this heavy snowfall and will
now bo boyond tlllago for many days.
A condonsed roport of tho storm aa
