Just how it was done has not been made public and probably never will be, for it was strategic move of some kind.

 IT RAlNED.-It will be surprise to most people to know that it rained here yesterday, but several reputable citi- Zcns are authority for the statement although there wasn't enough of it to even be recorded as a trace at the weather bureau office. IL will also ba surprise to some people to know that even that little bit of rain made one man mad and it only demonstrates that there never is a time when everybody welcomes rain. This man is a merchant and he has a particularly delicate line of goods he wanted to give little air ing. Yesterday morning he placed them out in the back yard and had hardly done so before it began to sprinkle. Before he could move them in again the rain stopped.

 A WAlkOUT.-This is not a story about labor troubles. although the trou- ble is occasioning some labor. It is jusc one more incident in the life of Frank Cavalliera's high water horse. As mentioned in these columns sOmetime ago when Mir. Cavalliera first bought the horse, his (the horse's) legs are longer than they really ought to be, or at least longer than they really need to be and the owner has to use a step ladder or a scafold in order to get into the saddle. The horse is taller even than Harry Friedman's Buffalo Bill mount, and that is saying a great deal for MT Friedman's horse is taller than Colonel McClfntock's horse, which is no Shetland pony. Mir. Cavalliera brought his horse in from the pasture Monday and took him to Bert Rinard's stable. Mir. Rlnard has a corral that was built purposely to restrain high lived and ac- rObatic bronchoe and it reaches pretty well up into the rarifed atmosphere | MT. Rinard turned the Cavalliera horse | into the corral. While the horse was | walking around for exercise he inad- vertently stepped over the fence and | hasn't been seen since.
