Last Thursday forenoon Alamosa experienced its first snowstorm of the winter, however, the snow flakes melted nearly as fast as they fell, and the atmosphere became very damp and cold.

Chipeta, the squaw of Ute Chief Ouray, the white man's friend, while passing through Alamosa from the Shan Kive carnival at Colorado Springs to the southern Ute Indian reservation near Durango while talking to a reporter of the Empire, said we would have a very deep snow this winter but we would not experience very cold weather.
