He scanned the heavens closely but yolun-
teered no observations on Che outlook.
In a few minutes he SAID good night and
betook himself once again to his eyrie 10
the stable.
Sunday scores of people drifted up to-
ward the Jones mansion and carefully
scanned the stable. They could detect
nothing unusual and most of them proba-
bly, went away disappointed.
Sunday night was a repetition of the
previous night. No sound was heard
from the barn. Melbourne said he slept
about two hours. Until late yesterday after
noon he remained IN the barn. Then for
the first time he came down town to visit
his brother who is sick and did not re-
turn until about 100 o'clock. just pre-
vious to coming down town he made the
only prediction lie has made during his
experiment. He said to Mr.. Jones: 1T
will rain tomorrow. The time allowed
by the committee includes the whole of
TODAY.
Very few subjects have aroused more
interest in Cheyenne than the Melbourne
experiments. A very great many people
have absolutely no faith in the outcome
and even il it should rain within the pre-
scribed time will not believe that the
downpour was due to Melbourne's inter
ference. Others, and notably those who
have seen and talked with Melbourne, have
acquired a good deal Of quiet faith and
approaching the climatic difficulties of
the situation will not be discouraged aver
Perhaps the majority hold their opinions
in allegiance. They neither believe nor
disbelieve but are greatly interested in the
outcome, irst for the possible good which
because of the interest naturally aroused
by scientific experiments about whose
operations a tantalizing mystery is
thrown. The skies were eagerly scanned
all day. There were many more clouds
to be seen than on the previous day, and
a few OF them looked as though they
might give forth a good deal Of moisture
If they could only be drained. From .
o'clock until twenty minute OF 6 last even
ing a bank of grayish clouds seemed to be
securely anchored over the region of Mr..
Jones barn. THEW gave forth a few
drops OF rain during the afternoon, but
not enough to spoil a spring bonnet.
These clouds were watched with peculiar
interest. The general feeling was that
they had been called up through Mel
bourne's efforts, and 1t was calculated
that he would use these as a focus to CEN
%tralizs his storm clouds, and from them
produce rain. Shortly before G o'clock,
however, the clouds were gradually dis
PEELED and there seemed to be detached
banks OF them pretty nearly everywhere
except over the region of the Frewen
mansion.
THE LEADER presents herewith a por
trait Of Mr.. Melbourne. 1t was taker
from an old photograph. Melbourne il
not now so afluent oftopknot as the picture
indicates him to be. but otherwise it is q
pretty fair likeness.
Betting on the result is pretty lively,
and the outcome today will be eagerly
awaited.

A Fascinating Perris Ser
want Girls Sad Tale.
She Jumps From the Window
to Escape His CareSses.
She Claims He Visited Her Room
at Night and Assaulted Her.
He Denies the Whole Story-.The Tow N
of Perris Disturbed on Tuesday
Night by the Girls Screams.

Inc Voluptuous appearing servant
girl is becoming very dangerous factor
in life in the passionate semi-tropic
climate of Southern California. The
Fleming episode has hardly had time to
become cold when another somewhat
similar affair occurs at Perris.
j. N. Kowalasky is drummer, or,
more euphoniously speaking, CONNER
cial tourist, of San Francisco, who trav-
els for the firm of Porter, Schlesinger &
Co., shoe dealers of that city. Mr..
Kowalasky is we'll known in this city as
an able commercial man, who can talk
bird off a tree or sell bill of goods to
a deaf, dumb and blind man.
Kowalasky has been touring in South
ern California for some time past, sell
ing shoes and doing thriving business.
On Tuesday he brought up at Perris and
stopped at the hotel. At dinner he was
waited on by a fair faced Perris girl
whose black eyes looked pleasantly on
the handsome drummer, and whose
white hands and round arms were fasci-
natingly flying around him as she in
quired what he'd have
Roastbeefroastmutto
feetwithapplesauceorquailontoast."
He conversed between mouthfuls with
the fascinating waiter, and he got the
impression that she was somewhat
taken with his appearance.
After dinner there is not much to do
in Perris, and everybody goes to bed
very early, and Tuesday night was no
different in that respect from any other.
But though the whole town save one or
two souls, was soon snoring away in
peace, this was not to continue.
Late in the night, window of
a room on the first story of the hotel
was raised, white-robed form stood in
the space moment and with shrek
sprang to the ground, where it kept up
calls for help until all Perris,. in more or
less scanty costume, ran from its bed to
the scene.
There was found the pretty waiter
girl clothed in her slumber robe and
good character, praying to be rescued
from Mr.. kowalasky. That man was
soon apprehended and placed under ar
rest and the weeping girl was taken in
charge by some sympathizing women
and petted and soothed, and her story at
last given to the curious.
In substance she said that she had
retired to her virtuous couch and gone
to sleep, but was soon awakened by
feeling herself being caressed by
some one whom she declared she dis
covered to be Mr.. Kowalasky. She said
she begged him to go away, but he re-
fused, and the situation soon became so
serious that she made q leap for the
window and jumped out, leaving the
amorous drummer baked of his pur-
pose.
Mr.. Kowalasky strenuously denied
the story told by the girl, but was
forced to wait for his examination, on
charge OF assault with intent to commit
rape, before the justice of the peace,
which was to have occurred yesterday
afternoon,

THEY SHOOK THEIR HOME.

But An Anxious Mother Found
Them and Shook Them In Re-
turn.
Quite an amasing scene was created
at the I. & G.. N. depot the other
evening, just before the north bound
train pulled out of town, by q mother
chasing two runaway girls over the
yards, under and around the box
cars until finally one of them was
nabbed by her.
1t seems that the girls, lived in a
north Texas town and were to have
been sent to q convent to which they
objected and to escape which, they
put out for San Antonio, hiring out
al servant girls at some Of the rail-
road hotels. It happened that they
were just on their way to town when
the mother of one of them, for they
were not sisters, espied them, and
hustled out Of the a In quest of the
runaway girls, with the above stated
results. The other girl seeing her
friend in the stern grasp of her
mother, concluded to return home
too, and she stole up to the front, ex-
pressing her anxious doubt if her
parents would care to have her back
again, but willing to risk facing the
music at home than fight the battle
in San Antonio without the aid and
comfort of her way friend.
