Denver, Jan. 5.—Eight persons are dead, railroads blocked and enormous damage has been done throughout the state by the snow storms, blizzards, floods and avalanches, according to re- ports received here. Four men are reported to have been killed near Shenandoah, Colo, by a snowslide; one man is dead at the Iowa mine as the result of being crushed in the snow and one man and two boys were frozen to death in New Mexico. Telegraph and telephone wires throughout the Rocky mountain region are prostrated and forty snow- slides from fifteen to twenty-five feet deep block the Denver and Rio Grande railroad between Durango and Silver- ton, Colo. There have been no trains on that section of the road since last Thursday and it is likely that the line will be tied up for several weeks. Tram lines and electric plants at several mines in the mountains near Denver have been wrecked by ava- lanches, causing thousands of dollars damage. A blizzard is sweeping Northern Colorado and hundreds of head of cat- tle and thousands of sheep have frozen to death. Ice gorges in the Arkansas' river have caused dangerous floods. Much farm land is inundated and it is feared that detailed reports will show heavy property damage with the possible loss of life. Blizzard Worst of Winter. Omaha, Jan. 5—The worst blizzard of the season is raging in Northern Nebraska. In Omaha the weather bu reau reported the temperature as 1 degrees below zero at 7 a. m.
