FOSTERS PREDICTIONS.
Mere Rain Is in The Hopper and
Storms Too.
From Saturdays Daily.


Washington, D. c., July 9.-The last
bulletin gave forecasts of July disturb
ance to cross the continent July 10 to
Ia, warm wave July to Is, cool
wave July IL to l6. The next disturbance
will reach the Pacific coast about July
IA, cross west of the Rockies by the
close of July Is, great central valleys
July l6 to Is, eastern states July 10.
A warm wave will cross west of the
Rockies about July IA, great central
valleys July l6 eastern states July Is.
A cool wave will cross west of the Rock
les about July II, great central valleys
July 10, eastern states July 81.
This disturbance will belong to a per-
iod of high temperatures followed by
very cool weather and accompanied by
severe and dangerous storms. These
storms will be severe when they strike
the Pacific coast and will continue to be
dangerous till after they have passed to
the east of the Mississippi river. Their
force will decrease as they approach
the Atlantic coast. The cool wave will
be ahead of time, starting in the north
west and move toward Texas. This will
throw it behind time so that it will reach
the Ohio valley about on regular time,
that is not far from July 10 or 20. The
coolest weather from that cool wave
will occur in the Missouri valley going,
very low at Kansas City about July Is.
This will not bring the most severe
storms of the summer. The great storms
will begin not far from August IL and
continue at intervals till the last of Oc-
tober. I am not mistaken about this
matter; know the cause, can give the
dates within two days and approximate
the places where these great disturbances
will occur. Tropical hurricanes will be
numerous and destructive; lives and
property will be saved by giving heed to
these warnings.
During the week of which July l6
will be the middle great downpours of
rain will occur covering only small
sections and leaving many places too
dry. Severe thunder and hail storms will
occur in many places particularly in the
Missouri valley and western Canada.
Immediately following date of this
bulletin temperature will recover from
very low and go to very high points
making week of hot weather
The chief of the Austrian weather
bureau in recent lecture in the in
terest of scientific knowledge says: II
must bring prominently forward the fact
that we have, unfortunately, no method
by which we can forecast the weather
with absolute certainty even for a day
in advance" Before these short range
forecasters criticise our long range they
should find some method by which their
own efforts would be of more value. Our
efforts cost the government nothing; the
efforts of our weather bureau cost one
and one half million dollars.

new liver johnson, 3S-calibre gun, with
five cartridges. The men had $l.35 be-
tween them. They answered the descrip-
tons of the robbers exactly, including
patent leather shoes worn by Sanders,
and the dotted handkerchiefs. Later,
Mr.. Lentz identified the men as the ones
who had committed the robbery.
1t is probable that the two men were
concealed along the railroad track west
of the Blue Earth river, and that when
the officers appeared flashing their lights
they took off their shoes in order to
make as little noise as possible and ran
around to the wagon bridge. That they
did not expect the bridge to be guarded
is evident.
When interviewed at the city hall this
morning by Free Press reporter, Sand
ers stated that he is stationary engi
neer, but said he did not care to say
when or where he last worked. He de-
MED that he had assisted in the rob-
berry. He said that he came to Mankato
yesterday from st. Paul, intending to 60
to Sioux City. He had never seen Muir
ray before last evening, when they met
west of the Blue Earth river. They had
gone to barn to await train, and
had taken their shoes off there. Some
dogs were barking, and they thought
that somebody was coming, so they took
their shoes and went around by the
bridge He denied that he had pulled
a gun on the officers on the bridge.
Murray said that while San Francisco
was his home, he had not been there for
five years. He was a carriage painter
by trade and had worked last at st.
Paul about month ago. He said that
he came to Mankato last evening and
first met Sanders about an hour before
they were arrested Afterwards he said
that they had been together along the

Many Secure Pensions.
From Saturdays Daily.

rfOm OaCuruayS Daily.
During the month of June, los pension
claims were successfully prosecuted
through the state adjutant generals de-
partment. Of this number thirty were
original claims from civil war veterans !;
So were increase claims, were widows
pensions, were claims from Spanish war
veterans, and one minor claim. The
number of pensions obtained during
June trebled any previous month in the
history of the department. Minnesota
now has about 1900 claims pending be-
fore the national pensions bureau. These
cover a period of about two years.

railroad track the last two or three
hours before their arrest. He denied any
knowledge of the robbery. To the Off
GERS last night he said that he would
take his medicine with the other fellow
Both men refused to talk much, say
ing that they preferred not to say any
thing about that" when asked a question
that bore on their doings or whereabouts
in the recent past. The names which they
give are believed to be fictitious.
The men were stripped and searched
this forenoon. 1t was noticed that San
ders bears a recent bullet wound on his
left forearm, the bullet having passed
out several inches away from where it
entered. The wound is in the fleshy
part of the arm, and there are holes in
the coat sieve to correspond with the
punctures in the arm Sand
ers denied that he had been
shot there. The figure of woman
and flag are tatooed on the left arm,
and shield on the right arm. His two
upper front teeth are gone. He trembled
like leaf while he was being searched
and afterwards.
Sanders, who appears to be the tough
est of the two, is about forty years old,
small, dark complexioned, and had a
dark mustache. Murray is smooth fac
ed, little over twenty years old, and has
black hair. Both are well dressed and
are not hoboes Whether they are pro-
fessional holdup men is a matter of
doubt.
The officers who made the capture are
entitled to a great deal of credit for
their work. They guarded the bridge
in an effective manner, and were quick
and steady when the time came for ac-
ton, and made a very clever capture.
Mr.. Lentz Tells His Story.
Mr.. Lentz told the story of the rob-
berry TO Free Press reporter this after
noon, as follows: 81 boarded the train
at Madelia, leaving there at nine o'clock.
The train stopped little before getting
to the depot at Lake Crystal, and the
two men who are locked up appeared
to intimldate the train crew with their
revolver Another man who was a pas
senger ON the train as far as Lake Crys-
tai went on to the village on foot and
reported the matter to the village mar
shall, and a search was made of the
train for the men, but they could not be
found in any of the cars. When the
train crew was satisfied that the men
were not on the train, we pulled out of
Lake Crystal.
Nothing happened until we got to
Minneopa, where we stopped some little
time to let passenger train No. go by.
AS Conductor Ritz got off, noticed him
take his revolver from his hip pocket and
place it in his right coat pocket and say
he would fix those fellows evidently
meaning the men who had given trouble
at Lake Crystal, and whom he probably
had seen off of the train at Minneopa. /
learned afterwards that as he and the
brakeman stepped off of the train they
ran right into the two robbers. The men
robbed them and then came for the ca
boose. I was sitting in the cupola and
saw them coming. They had handker-

President DonneIIy Hopeful.
Chicago, Aug. 20.-"I see no peace in
sight, except on condition that the
packers surrender on unconditional
terms. When people see the report OF
last nights meeting of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, they will be as.
founded. We have the trump card to
play and it has been drawn from the
deck" So said President Donnelly of
the striking cattle butchers today.
He declared that Mayor Harrison's. ac-
tion in ousting the strike breakers
from the housing rooms of the pack
ing plants meant quicker success fer
the strikers. Not since the strike be.
gan has Donnelly seemed so hopeful.
On the subject of the action of the
Federation of Labor, President Don
nelly was silent. He simply declared
that the report would contend that
they have right to place the beds for
men on the premises and
that the mayor had no right to inter.
fere with the pin.

tally Injured.

A fight took place at Maxwell City
on Tuesday morning of this week at 2
O'Clock between Amelio Martinez and

in the hands of the latter were used
with bloody and fatal effect, Martinez
receiving bullet in the stomach, res
sulting in the latters death, and Com
zales having his throat cut from ear
to ear. 1t seems that the-fght was the
result of an old grudge which Martinez
had been harborng for long time
against his antagonist. Both men
Monday night had been imbibing
freely in bad whisky, and became
intoxicated. Deputy Sheriff Jake Mi.
chel was notified of the affair and he
took the men in charge, and brought
them to Ration. The wounded men
were in critical condition and had to-
be conveyed to and from the train on
stretchers. Martinez died in the Col
fax County Jail on Wednesday morning.
The wife of Gonzales accompanied him
to Ration and is nursing him His
wound is very serious and he is ex-
tremely weak from the loss of blood.
Martinez was unmarried and had
the reputation of being a bad man
when under the influence of drink.
He had been living in Maxwell City
| about four years. Gonzales has re-
sided at Maxwell for many years, and

able citizen. IA
