FORECASTER TAKES
EVERY HOPE AWAY
May Be Warm in a Week, He Says,
Maybe Not So soon-No In
dieation Of Rain.

One OF these days, maybe in a week,
maybe not for two weeks, the weather
win turn warm. AT least that is what
the weather fo~recaster at the Weather
Bureau said. But II will not happen
for at least Ave days, unless all signs
are wrong.
The continuation of the cold wavo
Is due to high pressure from the north
west. it is said. Reports show that
there is a decided iessening In that
pressure. but another obstacle to
warmer weather has developed in the
shape of a storm that Is pre7a iling
Immediately east of the Rocky noun
tains.
This storm must be disposed OF be-
fore real summer weather a be ex-
pected. The weather people figure
that 1t will take about five days for
the storm to spend itself. Then we
may look for something better in the
weather line, although the good, old
summertime is still in the dim, dis
tant future.
Tonight will be cool and also to-
morrow will be cool. There Is 70 In
dication of rain.

The first thing the thieves did was
to take Mr.. Smiths new bicycle out
of the shop and ride it awhile. Later
the wheel was found in the shop with
the handle bar broken. The fact that
the wheel was returned to the shop
disabled would not, however, prove
that the original plan was not 20 steal
it. After entering the shop through
the window, as stated. the thieves I'M
locked the front door from the inside.
TIL e fellows made considerable
racket around the place and this
awakened Miss Mabel McQuilkin, liv-

about it. Officers Pitzer and Blake

fence to get away. The other fellow
escaped by jumping a fence and dis
appearing through the back lots. Miss
McQuilkin saw the fellows climbing
out of the shop window but did not
recognize them in the darkness.
The fellow arrested proved to be
