LOOT A MAIL CAR.
Two Masked Men Rifle All the
Registered Matter.
Three Clerks Were Bound and
Gagged by Robbers.

Redding, Cal, Jan. 5.-The mail car
IF the Oregon Express ON the Southern
Pacific was robbed early today of all
eastern registered mail 10y two un-
masked men. Three mail clerks we're
bound and gagged by the robbers who
entered the mail car while the train
was between Red Bluff and Redding.
The train pulled into Redding at
GAO a. m. and the robbers laden with
their loot, dropped off and escaped.
When the train stopped at Redding
at GAO George Westlake, the local
clerk was waiting to receive the mail
The bandits threw open the doors on
each side of the car and walked off in
opposite directions Westlake thought
they were regular mail clerks. He
threw a sack into the car and was
surprised that no one received it. A
moment later he heard feeble cry
and discovered the plight of the clerks.
Mail sacks had been piled on them,
but Ryan had managed to loosen his
gag and give warning.
Strewn over the floor were the
wrappings of hundreds of registered
mail packages. Every sack of regis
tered mail had been looted.
A vigorous search has been begun.
Westlake says that he will be able to
identify both men.

IT'S 35 BELOW. NEAR TO COLLAPSE
Cold Weather Record Is Broken
Over Country.
Most Severe in the North West
Region.

Cold weather records for the year
and in some case for years are being
broken today by a cold wave that
holds in its grasp the middle lake re-
gion as far west as the Rocky Noun
tains south about on line with IN
dianapolis and north into the Cana
dian regions. The range in this sec
tion is from zero downward.
In the Canadian northwest the mer-
curry has contracted to a point AZ de-
grees below zero. The coolest place
in the United States however, is Du-
luth. Mimi. where 33 below is re-
ported are Euclaire, Wis, %; La

The weather is generally fair with
a northwest wind. 1t ID predicted
a further drop in temperature will
come tonight.
Duluth Jan. 5.-Street thermome-
ters here this morning showed 80 to So
blowing. This is the coolest day of the
winter. Duluth today is said by the
weather bureau to be the coolest place
in the United States.
Chicago Is Shivering.
Chicago, Jan. 5.-Chicago shivered
today before the iciest blast that has
visited the city in two years. Zero
weather for the first time this winter
came in early last evening before a
driving northwest wind that continued
to send the mercury downward until
2 o'clock this morning, when de-
grees below was reached. At that hour
the gale had subsidized to a degree and
four hours later it was three degrees
warmer In the government bureau
no relief was held out, Forecaster Cox
making the prediction that the tenn
perature might go to 10 degrees below
zero during the day.
The bitter cold found Chicago's poor
unprepared. The municipal lodging
house accomm odated $50 men. 800
more than its ordinary capacity. When
all beds were filled, hunks were made
on the floor and in the offices in front
for those who sought refuge from the
cold. When the last inch of space was
taken 100 more who could not be ac-
conmo odated were sent to police sta
tfon and there given shelter. Two men
badly frozen were found on the streets
by policemen and were sent to hospi-
tails.
The general county Office and all its
branches were prepared today to aid
the greatest number of needy of the
winter. Ry a peculiar coincidence one
year a go today was the coldest day of
the year in Chicago.
Scores Of persons were driven into the
streets. two buildings stroyed and
three families were made homeless by
q fire on the South side early today
At one time the flames threatened to
wipe out an entire block. All of the
water plugs in the immediate vicinity
of the blaze were frozen and water was
obtained from plugs three blocks away.
Much water was frozen in the hose
bursting it. An attempt to thaw out
a frozen water pipe caused the flames.
Coolest of the Year.

eastern Missouri and southern Illinois
