The weather bureau, little timidly,
like a child taking its first steps, is
beginning to make long distance fore
casts. At times the forecasters have
been right and at times they have
been wrong, but in the general results
obtained there is promise of future
success. When the day comes that we
are to know definitely just what kind
of winter is ahead of us the au-
tumn life will lose a lot of its inter-

as promises of cold and storm, or
warmth and calm, during the months
of the winter to come. Man loves to
believe in these things, and now science
as cold as any season that it can
foretell is to take away (if it can)
the warmth of an interest in prophets,

Mrs. Swanson then arose and started

When she reached the second from
the bottom steps she says that she
saw young Hierbe at the foot of the

by his first name. He denied that this

in spite of her utmost struggles and
protests using force to accomplish his
purpose.

After her assailant had gone away
Mrs. Swanson dressed and went to the
home of her neighbor, John Arnsdorf,
between two and three o'clock in the
morning, and told the story of the
assault and asked that he notify the
officials. About noon, being afraid to
stay alone, she hitched up her horse,
