Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 77, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 January 1912 — TRAINS ALL LATE. [ARTICLE]

TRAINS ALL LATE.

On Account of Intense Blasts From Old Boreas. The strong north wind with a zero 1 temperature caused all trains to be late Thursday and yesterday. The night train'from Chicago due here at 11:05 Thursday night did not get in until 1 3:30 yesterday morning, and was an hour running from Fair Oaks to Rensselaer. The milk train yesterday going north —as were all other trains, for that matter in both directions —was several hours late. The cold wind was so intense that it was almost impossible to t kdep up steam fn the locomotive' boilers. Telegraph wires were down yesterday and Rensselaer was cut off from the outside world. It was impossible at the Monon station to tell anything about the arrival of trains. Much suffering is reported in Chicago and other-big cities among the poor people, who were unprepared for the cold wave.
