ton that storm and wind were coming.
Finer weather than that which pre-
vailed between daylight and noon could
not be asked for, and the barometer
was regarded as a false prophet, but
the few who saw in the northwest the
heavy cloud banks massed upon the
snow peaks, and watched their steady
progress toward us felt that the morn
ing's brightness would give way to
storm and darkness in the evening, and
so it turned out.
Rain began falling about 3p. m, and
continued in constantly increasing
quantity until s O'Clock, when it
changed to snow, and at this writing,
4 a. m, u light, damp snow Is falling,
which melts rapidly.
The barometer is still very low, and
we shall probably have stormy weather
