DP TO OUR NECKS IN SiW! Tiea-Up Trains, Tired Travelers and Snow Till You Oau't Walk, Scaroely. A Grub Strllco on the Delayed Prtssnn-Kor Train A New York Girl's of Flagstaff and Surround-In (is Itoveuleil In Her Lost Diary. It may be well to stato to the out-sido woild and to The Sun's many readers in the- surrounding country that Flagstaff has not been exactly dead to the world during tho late heavy storm, but she has been snowbound without a doubt. A truthful estimate of the depth of the snowfall would place it at seven feet on the level.

But it didn't stay ou the level, fhu shrieking blizzard that struck the town last Saturday night scattered the snow in promiscuous heaps and the trails were haul to find. Snnwstioes seemud to find general favor, and wood and coal were iu great demand. The experience of some people in trying lo possers themselves of coal for a coal stovo ought to demonstrate pretty well that a coal and wood yard at Flagstaff bo a paying institution. One couldn't buy good dry coal at any price, and as thero woio no coal tliotrack itcouldn'tbo stolon either. The trains of tiie A.

P. were baflled at ovcry turn and eugiues weut dead all along the line. First section of fro'ght train No. 33 ran into a washout four miles east of Ilolbrook Friday morning, wrecking tho locomotive and eight cars. building a "shoo-llj'' around the washout and wreck passenger train No.

3 trot past. Heavy ralus fell all through that section, and the Little Colorado river bridge cast of Wi.islow was in danger from high water and heavy drift. Tho two engines that left town Sunday evening to clear the tracks were wrecked near Cliff's mill spur but the crews escaped injury. It was tedious for those on the delayed train, but most of them, being from the frigid clime of the far east, didn't seem to think tho weather a bit uncomfortable, and they took tho situation philosophically. Great wonder was uxpressed that there should be so much snow in Arizona, and they were so much in love with the surrounding that a run was made on Photographer Osbon's establishment for views of the many wonders of nature that exist almost at tho gates of tho Skylight City.

Sunday night tho ladies, having grown weary of paying hotel and restaurant bills, went on a grub strike. A delegation of fair New Jerseyites cornered tho conductor and snid the company would havo to feed them while they were the guests of Flagstaff. And the company did, so there. The diary of one maiden from the big eastern city by tho was fou id near the depot by one of the ever vigilant members of The Sun staff. A few extracts from it will probably excite the amusement of the reader who may be familiar with tiie common eastern impression in regard to Arizona.

Hero are some of her memoranda, jotted down between meals: Saturday, January 19. Oh, dear! Here wo are snowbound in horrid Arizona, witli 17 feet of snow and more falling. But oh, my, what a pretty country we are in. I wish I could do scribe it. Wc haven't seen one" single Indian yet, although Florence and I walked all over the town in search of some.

Sunday, January 20 Wo all went to church to-day and it was perfectly lovely. It looks very much like the winters in lower Canada hero, but it isn't cold a bit. Tho air is simply delightful. No Indians have appeared yet, but wo are very nervous at night, fur tney aro liable to invade the town at any moment. Monday, January 21 Still here and last night we all told the conductor wo would refuse to eat longer at our own expense.

Tho Indians came at last. Threo of them surrounded tho train anil 1 covcied rav head, ex- peeling every moment to be scalped. But all they did was to enter the cars and try to sell some of their beautiful blankets. Maud hadn't posted up her books for Tuesday, when tho train got out. sorcral Uotios of tho utterly worthless stamp were stalled here, and although there were golden opportunities for employment clearing the tracks, they scorned the idea of work and "bummed" the town industriously.

Several of theni rode out in broad daylight on tho tops of tho Pullman coaches, which is regarded as a daring feat in hobo circles. The Immensity of the snow fall will prove a blowing of incalculable 'valre to the husbandman aud cattleman, who pray that tho storm will be duplicated later iu the season.

AYER'S Cherry Pectoral SAVED HIS LIFE 8o says Mr.T. M. Reed, a highly respected Merchant of Mid dletown, of a Young Man who was supposed to be In Consumption. "Ono of my customers, some ago, had a son who had all he symptoms of consumption. The usual medicines afforded him no relief, and he steadily failed until he was unable to leave bis bed.

His mother applied to me for some remedy and 1 recommended Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. The young man took it according to directions, and soon began to improve until he became well and strong." T. M. Reed, Mid-dletown, 111. "Some time ago, I caught a severe cold, mv throat and lungs were badly inflamed, and I haa a terrible cough.

It was supposed that I was a victim' of consume- tion, and my friends bad little nope oi recovery, uut i Dougni a oottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, took it, and was entirely cured, No doubt, it saved my life."

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to bo incurable.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed, local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and it therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney Toledo, Ohio, is tho only constitutional cure on tho market.
