BILLIARDS. COME IN SERIES
Chicago Swept by Second Storm in
Forty-eight Hours.


Chicago, Feb. 17.-After a lu1l of
several hours Chicago was swept by
another blizzard, which continues
with all the severity of the storm of
forty-eight hours ago.
A violent wind drifting the loose
snow in high banks against the sides
of buildings has made the present
storm the worst of the winter.
Transportation, telegraph and tele-
phone companies which had made a
desperate fight against the storm lost
practically all they had gained when
the blizzard renewed it's ferceness.
Telegraph companies reported the
storm was the most disastrous they
had experienced in many years. Ev
erywhere the wires are down or work
ing badly and in Northern Ohio it will
probably require weeks to get the tan
gled wires Strengthened out.
The railroads running west appar-
emily were encountering little delay,
the storm falling heaviest on east
bound roads.

a half hour. Mrs. Jones, feeling lap-
prehensive on account of her hus-

dered her to be seated. The conversa-
ton was resumed. Chester T. Jones,
secretary of the Jones company, a
son, followed his mother and he, too,
was ordered to be seated Mr. Jones
then suggested that as he did not have
the necessary funds in the house the
man accompany him to the bank.
This was agreed to. AS the pair were
passing through the lower hall Mr..
Jones stepped suddenly back and,
placing his foot in front of his Wis
itor, hurled him to the floor. Mr..
Jones and his son then overpowered
the man and, stripping him Of his
weapons, called the police. The bomb
did not explode when the intruder
fell.

At the police. station the man said
he planned, after securing the money
from Mr.. Jones, to take him to indie

is MURDERER CAUGHT?
Men Who Are Believed to Have Kill
ed Hugh Mcmahon Believed
To be i'm the Tolls

The Seattle police recently captur-
ed a man who is believed to have
been responsible for the murder of
Hugh Mcmahon, a wealthy saloon
man of Seattle, and a brother of
'Scotty' Mcmahon, who worked in
the Pullman Steam Laundry for
many months. Pullman people will
remember the little freshman or
Scotchman, known as Shorty" and
"Scotty" who worked for the laun-
dry here last winter, He was call
ed to Seattle by word that his brother
had been murdered, while going
home from his saloon about mid
night one night last winter The
murdered man was well-to-do and
was engaged in the saloon business.
He started home about midnigh and
the next morning his dead body,
without any marks of violence on it,
was found lying on the lawn of
residence on Pike street. A valuable
gold watch, a diamond ring worth
$3.50 and a lot of money was miss
ing. A portion of the dead mans
clothing hung on a barbed wire
fence surrounding the lawn, show
ing that he had been killed on the
sidewalk and thrown over the fence.
For many months the sheriff and
police had worked on the mystery.
Many contended that Mcmahon was
not murdered, but had been robbed
after he had died of heart disease
or something that had caused sud

OATS BLIGHTING
j. Nj. Reid, of Pullman Predicts Light
Yield of Oats and Gives His
Reasons

THE oats crop will not be up to
the average, or at least that is the
present indications" said j. M. Reid,
a pioneer farmer and careful OBJ
server, living in Pullman. The dry
weather continued until the heads
were formed so that they are small
er than usual. Also. in some fields,
blight is quite noticeable.
The crop will be better than last
year but not as good as usual. AS
all oats and barley of last years
crop is exhausted every indication is
that feed will continue to be high in
price. There will be a few fields on
summer falloWed land that will be
above the average, but taking the
entire crop l do not expect an aver
age yield"
In support of this statement Mr..
Reid brought to The Herald Office
a number of heads of oats that are
badly blighted. These were taken
from a field near Pullman. Fully
half of the grains were blighted be-
fore they were filled. Mr.. Reid says
a great many fields have been SINH
larly affected by the blight, which he
attributes to the hot days preceding
July 4. That many fields will yield
enormously, there is no doubt, but
with the blight in some fields and the
loss by falling down in others, it is
feared that there is much ground
for Mr.. Reds prediction that the
oats crop will be below the average
in this country this year.
