The Blizzard

1 he wind played "high jinks" yesterday. It bronght business to a dead stand-still. It put a stop to news-gathering. It kept people indoors. It sent hacks to the schooi houses for the school children. It blev.' the snovv this way and that, up and down. The man who got a dose of snow in the face and ducked his head to avoid it found that this only gave entrance to the snow down the back of his neck. The wind blew through the whiskers of the man who was out yesterday aftefnoon with the velocity of thirtyeight miles an hour. At least they so reported it at the University Observatory. Trains were delayed. The play at the opera house was delayed until near nine o'clock. The Ypsilanti motor started for Ann Arbor this morning, but got stalled on the way and stayed stalled. Sotne men were favored by having their walks swept clean, while their neighbors had great snow banks piled on their walks. The wind at Detroit blew with such force that it sent the ice up strearn. The storm reached from Kansas to the Atlantic coast.
