Denver Colo.. Oct 21—The iVestern
country Is In the grip of a bllszard al
most unprecedented for Its severity at
this season of tho year. In Colorado
•now has been falling continually for
more than twenty-four hours and In
most sections of the state there la no
sign of a let-up. In some places In the
hills two feet bf snow has fallen.
In places there are-thousands of bar
rels of apples and tons of sugar beets
In the open and should the cold weath
er continue ths loes will be great to the
ranches. Ths live stock In Colorado is
not suffering much as yet.
All trains are late, though most of the
lines are being kept open through
the use of rotary snow' plowa. Both
the telegraph companies and telephone

cuits.

Yacht and Party __
rive at Darien Fol
lowing Storm.
8peciat to The Georgian.
8avannah, Ga., Oct. 22,—Governor
Terrell and party landed tafaly at Oa
rien yesterday at 11 o’clock, and after
dining with friends, proceeded to For
nandina, Fla. The party fait no ill of
fects of tho blow, as ths yscht had
been close hsuled between St. Catherine
Island and land. Governor Terrell was
surprised to know that any anxiety had
been felt of hi* safety.
Inability to get any kind of Informa
tion from or of Governor and Mrs,
Joseph M. Terrell Monday up to a late
hour has served to increase the anxle
ty concerning them.
Governor and Mrs. Terrell left At-
l.'.nta last Thursday for Savannah,
where they Joined Major and Mrs. Wil
kins for a cruise along the Georgia
coast In a private yacht. The party
left Savannah Friday morning.
The storm swept along the coast Fri
day night and Saturday. Whether the
yachting party had safely reached the
shelter of some Island or not Is the
occasion of worry here, and particularly
•Inca no news can be obtained.
When the governor left here It was
the program for the party to land at
Catherine Island off from Darien
Monday. The govsllidr 'W»r> to tele,
phone his private secretary. Major Ir
win, Monday morning,, but no comma
nlratlon of any kind came.
B. M. Blackburn, executive secrela.
ry. wired to Savannah. Darien and
Brunswick early Monday morning, but
up to late this afternoon nothing had
been received. Efforts of The Georgian
to secure Information from special cor
respondents along the coast have also
proven futile. A dispatch from Sevan
nah stated that no news had been re.
celved there.
The fact that no Information Is ot>.
talnable naturally Increases the anx
iety. but It Is believed that news of
the safety of the party will reach At
lanta during Monday evening.

Mr. Collier and Miss Wood met on

that thetr plans of touring Europe co
incided frequently, nnd on the shores of
Klllarney and Lock Lomond and ths
blue Geneve, little Dan Cupid pursued
the two young people, making assur
ance doubly sure.
After the aummer was over Miss
Wood returned to her home and en
tered the senior class of Smith College.
Mr. Collier returned to America on th*
next boat und went to Philadelphia.
Then ho went to Smith College and
after an Interview with her returned
to Philadelphia with biles Wood. They
went to her parents and laid the case'
before 'them. Whatever protestation
there might have been on the ground
that Miss Wood Jied not completed her
education was overruled by tho two
young people, and the wedding took
place Saturday evening.
In a few days they will return to
Europe, where both will enter tho Sur-
bonne for a term of study.

Wood, of the firm ..r Wood A
Co. one of the most prominent of

new-fangled flying machine. Just to see
If It would work, was one of his stunt..
He went to Europe last May for the
purpose of studying advanced biology
In Paris. He will resume bis Inter

he will make his eon an allowance, suf
ficient to allow the young couple to live
frugally, but he will never recognise

be added the young wife’s earnings as
