SNOW FALLS IN
THE MIDDLE WEST
Drop in the Temperature Is Reported
in Region From Dakotas to Texas
Last Saturday.

A sudden drop in temperature
throughout the country, which made it.
self felt in Chicago Saturday, is causing
heavy loss throughout the west, where
fruit trees were in bud and all vegeta-
tion well advanced
In the great wheat states of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas the drop in tenn
perature has been sensational accord
ing to dispatches. 1t was IS above zero
in Minnesota, snow fell, and it is prob
able that every crop that is at all ad-
vanced will be killed. In the Dakotas
the temperature was below the. freezing
point, and il is thought that it may 90
lower. The temperature was is above
zero in the Red river valley of Mime
sofa, ana this cold wave extends as far
south as the middle of Texas. The cold
did much damage to fruit in New Mex
leo and western Texas. The snow in
that section covers wide area. From
st. Joseph, Mo-, and Omaha come the
reports that snow is falling. The
weather was at freezing all night, and
it is believed that the fruit and vege-
table crops will suffer.
The storm has spread over the entire
fruit region of the west, and shows no
evidence of abating. The fruit crop of
the western slope of Colorado was saved
by the use of smudge pots, by means OF
which the temperature was kept above
the danger mark.

DARING ROBBERY ON
CALIFORNIA MAIL TRAIN
Thieves Get Nine Registered Pouches
on San Francisco Train
and Escape.

Benicia, Cal, April 18.-Four pouches
of registered matter on the China-Japan
Mail, which left San Francisco for the
east. at o clock Saturday night and
was held up by two masked men at
Sprig, two miles east of here, at 1890
o clock Sunday morning and robbed of
nine pouches of registered mail, have
been recovered, but the robbers rifed
the others and are now hiding with
their loot in the hills and canyons be-
tween Martinez and Oakland.
The passengers on the train were not
disturbed. After getting the mail sacks
the robbers cut the engine loose from
the train and sent it wild, throttle open,
down the main track to the east.
But for the presence of mind of a
telegraph operator at Suisun a fearful
accident would have taken place. The
engine was thrown into a switch in the
nick of time.
The train robbery is the first that has
occurred in California for several years.
1t was plotted and executed in a dar-
ing, spectacular fashion.
Before the fast mail had arrived at
Benecia two men who had left Oakland
on another train two hours earlier, and
had left the train on the Port Costa
ferry boat, climbed unobserved on the
rear end of No. 10 IS locomotive. The
China-Japan mail had gone less than
five miles from the Benecia landing
when the stowaways crawled over the
oil tank in the tender and presented re-
volvers at heads of the engineer and
fireman and ordered them to stop the
train and get off the engine.
eve are not going to hurt you,"
said one of the robbers. CAN we want
is the. treasure box; take us to the ex-
press carr
When informed by the crew that the
train carried no express matter, and
had no express car, the robbers evident
ly had miscalculated.
Intimidate the Train Crew.
Arrived there, they threatened to
blow it up with dynamite if the door
was not opened. Under this threat
Herbert J. Black, who was in charge
of the car, and his assistant, Thomas
w. clancy, appeared at the door. Inc
robbers compelled the engineer and fire
man to enter the car, with orders to
throw out the registered mail"
Black started to toss out newspaper
sacks, but the robbers showed their ia
miliarity with the situation by detect
ing the ruse at once. They threatened
to kill Black unless he gave them regis
tered mail. Black and the engine crew
were forced to take the sacks to che
engine.
Phe engine and the mail car were
) then uncoupled from the coaches filled
with sleeping passengers and run down
the track two miles. Here the mai
sacks were thrown out upon the ground
the engine was uncoupled, its throttle
pushed wide open, and it began its wild
journey toward the other cars filled
with passengers, at Telenas, four mile
= east.
