Had a Little Touch of Blizzard—Not Very Severe.

A little .touch of a blizzard swept down from the northwest Saturday night and has 'held sway since that time. Rain turned .to snow and whistling winds carried the frigid air at a lively pace, stinging noses and finger tips. The mercury, howeevr, did not go far below freezing and the snow is scarcely visible today, being only in sheltered places. Last week a,heavy snow storm hit parts of the west and business was suspended Friday at Denver with the snow reported from 18 inches to two feet deep. Our blizzard seemed to be an expended tail end of what hit the northwest. Snow two feet deep is reported to have fallen at South Bend and other cities north and east of here.
