of Four Dollars

Thomas E. Surtees, while returning to
his home I'm Colwich last evening was
swindled out of a five dollar bill by
stranger he met on a Missouri Pacific
passenger train.
Mr.. Surtees is a prosperous farmer Of
Colwich and had been in Wichita attend
ing to some business matters When
he boarded the train bound for Colwich
a man took the vacant seat beside him
and they were soon engaged in conversa-
tion. After the train had started the
man asked Surtees if he could give him a
five dollar bill for some silver. Mr.. Sur
tees replied that he could and thereup-
on drew five dollar bill from his pocket
His companion had five silver dollars but
just as he was about to hand them to
Mr.. Surtees. he hesitated and said that
he would rather give him small change
if it would be all right with him Mr..
Surtees became suspicious and said be
would take his five dollar D.il back The
man said all right and handede bill to
Mr.. Surtees which he put in his pocket
Surtees' companion then left him on
some pretext
After the man left Mr.. Surtees took
the bill from his vest pocket and put
it with some others he had. When he
unrolled it, he discovered that it was
a one dollar bill instead Of a five The
conductor was called, and the car was
searched. but the smooth passenger. had
disappeared. Mr.. Surtees says that he
intends to keep the one dollar bill as
he paid FIVE dollars for il.

was 33 degrees. The mean temperature
for the month for the last sixteen years
is % degrees. This proves the fact that
this climate is never exceedingly cold
in January but rather pleasant month
The average precipitation for the
month was .12 of an inch; the average
for the last sixteen years for the month
was rs of an inch The maximum veloci-
t. Of the wind from the north was 30
miles per hour, which happened on the
second day Of the month.
The total snowfall for the month was
s of an inch, which is practically all
the snow that has fallen in this vicinity
during the winter.
This report is unique in a great many
respects. From it the fact is deducted
in the last sixteen years. The snowfall
was not sufficient to mention, in fact it
hardly was noticed at all. Another good
point is that there was just enough rain
during the month to bring healthy
verdure to the wheat and insure q big
crop. Too much would have been detri-
mental. The mild sunny days are de-
serving of especial mention owing TO
their springlike breezes and medium tenn
peratures- Last but not least, it is quite
true that the wintry north wind only
blew for two days ard then was not
very severe. All these things speak
volumes for Kansas and her climate.

of her citizens to have the contentment
