NORTHWEST HAS BLIZZARD

Delay to Traffic on the Northern Pacific and Great Northern. St Paul, Minn., April 14—A blizzard raged in northwest Minnesota and in North Dakota, stalling some of the freight trains of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern. Wind and sleet tore down the telegraph wires of the Northern Pacific for fifteen miles between Mandan and N. D. One at the freight trains of the Northern Pacific was unable to pull through west of Oriska, N. D, although three locomotives were in front. On the Dilworth division two inches of snow fell, with a heavy wind.
