The weather the past week has been
the most severe, steady cold the coun-
try has ever experienced. The Their
mometer has, as n rule, been below the
zero point, and at times has seached rs
low as twenly.one degrees below zero,
Yesterday and today the snow came
down in IA plentiful quantity, and now
should the wind start to blow, the en-
tire west would find itself in the clutch
of one of the most intense billiards.
ever experienced. Already great loss is
reported from owe the west and should
the present ftorm result in a blizzard
the loss would be inestimable.

Not wishing to do injustice to any
one we wish TO beg pardon of Matthew
b. for thinking that he was the party
who contiscated and buried 800 feet
more or less of city water pipe as we
have been told by reliable authority
that he did not do so, he only having
been an accessory, IN the fact that he
as mayor of the city gave his consent
to another party to confiscate and bury
the said pipe to be u led as a drain pipe
for his building. We hope this expla.
nation will be satisfactory. We think
it is only fair that the pipe be passed
around and we think we ought to be
next, or if the present city council do
not care to loan it further, they can
send us round II load of city coal aud
We'll agree to return what is left after
the winter is over, even il it be the
ashes.
On Thursday night last as Joseph
Jacobs was going home accompanied
by William Hayes and was down on
the road near the creamery Jacobs was
knocked down and robbed of a con.
siderable sum of money. Jacobs is in
the habit of getting on periodical jags
and he PROBABLY took on board q con.
siderable amount of the fiery liquid.
During his stay up town he had been
free in showing up his money. He
had been IN company with June Bent
and Will Hayes and they we're arrested
as his ASSISTANTS, but Hayes claims that
he was also knocked down. The men
had q preliminary hearing before Judge
Duffy. Bent waived examination and
Hayes stood trial and both were bound
over for trial at the next term of dis
trict court aud as they could not pro
duce the required $500 bonds were sent
to Jail. Jacobs is the man who gol
jaggy about a year ago and drove 9
small boy away from his corn poppe,
taking possession himself. He was ar
rested at this time and sent to Jail.
