Blizzard disrupts rail service across Kansas and Nebraska
A severe snowstorm paralyzed central Kansas and southern Nebraska, tying up 300 miles of Missouri Pacific tracks and delaying all trains into Atchison. Snow drifts up to six feet hindered rail traffic while plows worked from Atchison and Downs. Milwaukee reports a northeast blizzard with drifting and limited streetcar service, and other cities from Grand Rapids to New Haven report heavy snow and fire losses. A tornado in Texas caused property damage and injuries, and a Toledo firm faces a catarrh claim ad.
