Lusk and other towns to the east, according to reports which are just beginning to come from the east with the re-establishment of partial com munication are said to nave suffered heavily. The severity of the storm at Lusk and in that vicinity Is evident by the I fact that guests at a Lusk Muriel were, unable to leave the institution for• meals and that rescue parties on the: outside finally reached them with food after having fought through terrific snow banks some of which had drifted to a depth of 15 or more feet. It Is claimed that the plains In that vicinity were swept clean of snow I and the surplus was deposited in ra-1 vines, cuts, draws and places of shel ter in the towns of that vicinity.
