RAIN OR SNOW.
Is Weather Mans Prediction for
TODAY

Yesterday was a nice day. Winter
wraps were not needed at all. The
weather man was not satisfied TO let well
enough alone and allow this city to en-
joy some more spring weather. so he
says ii will rain or snow today and it
is possible that rain or snow mays fall
before daylight this morning.
Now all this bad weather was brought
about by the complete establishment of
telegraph communications. AS long as the
weather man did not know where his
highs and lows were, he was safe in say
ing that fair weather would prevail. A
great many people will wish he had never
seen a high or a low before breakfast
is over this morning. But ,ne wires could
not stay down all the time and yester-
day the weather man found a high up in
Montana. 4 high just north of Wichita
in fact everything is going around with
its head up. except our in Lower Cali
fornia, where there is a low. Now it
seems hardly fair for that little puny
low away out west To come prancing in
with d chip on its shoulder. and not one
OF those highs can knock ii Off That is
the whole trouble. That low is accom-.
panied by a rainstorm and Is coming
this way and the highs are getting out
of the road the weather man says
something will drop this morning-if not
rain. then snow

on the tongue attempting to climb up
on the load, when an automobile passed.
The team became frightened and ran
east on Douglas avenue the big load
swaying from side to side. At the corner
of Douglas and Mosley the team at
tempted 10 turn north. but their speed
was so great they could not make the
turn and crashed into a telegraph post.
but the wagon struck fairly in the mid
die, throwing the driver to the pave
ment. He was uninjured and caught the
team before it broke loose.
Another runaway occurred on North
Topeka avenue yesterday forenoon. The
team was hitched to a light spring wa
car. got away from the driver between
Tenth and Eleventh streets and ran south
on Tt ,,eia. The street was soon cleared
and the team met with 10 obstruction
until it passed Ninth street. where it
collided with trap belonging to Mrs.
S. Ashton. which was standing at the
side Of the street. The trap was almost
new and was completely demolished. The
wild career of the team was brought to
a close shortly afterwards by grocery

played in the arrest and conviction OF
Jersey Durham, and incidentally, the es-
cape of John P. Dunn from the st. Fran

Dunn, it will be remembered. was the
leader of the gang that robbed the bank
and shot Sheriff Powers. Dunn was shot
In the leg during the battle between the
sheriff and robbers. He was brought to
this city by Jersey Durham and Mrs.
Dunn and placed in the St Francis hos

men, were trying to obtain control of
Dunn.
On February 18th. last, Dunn was
brought to the hospital. and for weeks
boca sherim and police had special men
detai.ed 70 watch the hospital and Dunn
to prevent his escape. Dunn was a very
sick man and doctors said that he could
not move. On April 3d-on rainy, blus-

He had many friends in his class and
these friends had money and left no stone
unturned to secure his acquittal. Two de-

Many of them incline to the opinion
that these men are not representatives

who were sent across the ocean for the

them. They judge by the numerous
