blockade and who were using the day
coaches for bunk cars.
The last report received tonia-ht
from Scenic saya that the rescuers are
still struggling with ice snd snow en
deavoring to release the imprisoned

balm the bodies, as the snow blockades
between Wellington and Everett have
shut off all traffic except by foot. If
the bodiea are brought out soon they
