10 Degrees Below Zero.

In Norfolk Monday morning, 10 de-
grees below zero.
Last Fridays News carried the wea-
ing cold wave. The coolest part of the
wave arrived early Monday morning
when the government thermometer in
this city recorded a temperature of
10 degrees below zero.
This was the coolest day in Norfolk
since February II, 1907-almost two
years ago to a day.
Another Snow Storm.
Norfolk was again the center of a
snow storm, though its severity was
not particularly noticed because of the
two frightful billiards. that had just
gone by. Two inches of snow fell here
and a stiff northwest wind Sunday
morning whipped the light flakes into
small drifts, filling up cuts from which
the caked snow of last week had just
been removed
This The Center OF It.
The snow area, according to reports
received at Northwestern railroad
headquarters here, extended only west
to Valentine and southeast only to
Fremont.
When snow was blowing the worst
here, the sun was shining warmly just
west of Valentine.
M. & o. Again Suffers.
For the third time within three
weeks train traffic on the Omaha road
between Norfolk and Sioux City was
tied up for the day on account of the
storm, though trains succeeded in get
ting through last night.
The NJ. & o. train from Sioux City
headed for Norfolk Monday morning
was more than three hours behind
time at noon.

Creighton recited Poe's "The Raven"

fessional stage artist Mr.. Bruce's
sympathetic reading makes the work
of an ordinary elocutiOnist tawdry
and artificial The encore was a
bright bit of lugubrious irony and was
read with spirit and cleverness.

Again Ares, Asdar su.uee,..

Sioux City. Ia. Feb. i3.--Believing
that he has in custody the men who
broke into the Farmers bank at
Hadar, Neb., on the morning OF Jan.
uary 10. and, after digging through
the twofoot vault, dynamlted both
ends OF the safe and made off with
1888 in cash, Chief OF Detectives j.
B Richard has wired Sheriff Dryer
OF Pierce county, Nebraska that he is
holding the men here, awaiting his
coming. Two OF them, James Riley
and Harry Joyce, have been In the city
jail since Monday. They were held
for investigation. The third man,
Fred Morrison, was arrested at 4
O'Clock yesterday afternoon by Detec.
tive Richard, who last evening received
n telegram from Sheriff Dwyer which
read: Hold Morrison, Riley and
oyce. Have warrants for their arrest ;
Will be there tomorrow.
Descriptions are Taken.
On January & the same three men
were arrested here and held for in
vestigation until January IA. During
their Incarceration Detective Richard
put the trio through the Bertllon
measurements. Morrison gave his place
of residence as Sac City, In. When ar
rested yesterday he signed up from
Butte, Mont
When the lIadar bank robbery was
reported Richard got in communca-
tion with the authorities at Norfolk,
FEB, and sent them the pictures He
also was in correspondence with w.
b. Highest, secretary of the Bankers
association in Omaha, sending him pic
lures and descriptions of the three
men.
At first 1t was thought 1t would be
difficult to prove anything, but in the
examination of the premises the au-
thortes of Pierce county discovered
pocketlinife dropped by one of the
burglars. The knife may prove the
undoing of the crooks. The sheriff of
Pierce county has discovered the knife
was purchased the night before the
robbery in Norfolk, and has a descrip.
ton of the purchaser, said to fit that
of Morrison.
The other two men were with Nor
rison when he was arrested here in
January, and 1t is alleged returned
with him some time after the affair
at Hadar.
