Bad Blockade Broken on Wyoming Line After Snow Struggle
After ten days of effort, the line between Casper and Lander was cleared on Monday afternoon. A rotary plow from Iowa fought ice snow and sand, but was disabled twice, requiring hand shovels from hundreds of workers led by Casper merchants and the mayor. By mid Monday the track reopened, allowing westbound trains to proceed and later return east with relieved passengers. The scene drew praise for W. and N. W. workers amid charges of alleged inaction by Lander partisans.

Masked ballroom party turns into mock lynching feast
A Casper Shoshoni Gazette report recalls a Tuesday evening party hosted by Spooks Revel, Edna and Lesnis Smith, where about forty guests, masked in bedsheets, gathered for dancing with Abbott orchestra. After 10:30, the masks came off and revelers joked about choosing a fattest man for dinner as a prank. The piece pivots to the adjacent obituary of Mrs. Robert Veitch, who died after an appendicitis operation at Douglas hospital. A separate feature describes S. E. Stone recounting thirty hours trapped in a snowbank near Richards, Wyoming, detailing meals improvised from car supplies and the rescue effort by C. A. Jones, W. S. Howard, and others as engines fought to reach safety. The narrative ends noting Stone’s return to Casper and ongoing snowfall.
