TERRIFIC SNOWSTORM.
PIG PINKY, Wyo., March O.-The
most terrific snow (storm in the history
of this section has ju-t come to an end
here, having raged continuously since
the 10th of March. The snow is piled
seven feet in depth in places and is two
feet deep on the level. Stage and mail
seovices have been interferrd with.
It is feared that tremendous los-es of
sheep have occurred in the desert east
of here and, it is reported, some of the
flocks have been entirely wiped out.
There is no feed accessible and Dock
masters are desperate.
Several sheep herders arc missing and
their employeis are apprehensive lest
they have perished. Cattle in a major
ity of cases have been kept in good con
dition by feeding, it being possible for
them to be driven through the snow.
The only possible method of travel
between ranches is on -now shoe-.
