How's This For Climate?

Jack Moreland received a letter
from his sister, Mrs. McCarty, this
morning, in which she tells of the
miraculous escape from an awful
death of their pet dog "Beppo,"
beautiful black cocker spaniel about
four years of age. The said Beppo
was cavorting in the road near the
house, when large automobile came
whizzing along. and caught him
square across the center, right where
it hurts just awful sometimes, and
the two wheels passed directly across
his body. But this little doggie didn't
die right in his tracks, as the story
book says,-not on your life. He
wriggled to his feet, gave one blood.
curdling yelp, and, with long row
of pearly white in full view, he start
ed after that buzz-wagon and ran it
half way to Pasadena, and in two
hours was back at the McCarty ranch
for his rations. Jack says when he
was out there last spring this pup ran
all over the mountains with him, and
he knew he was game, but still he
says he can't help but think that the
wonderful climate had more or less
to do with his narrow escape from
death. In regard to the recent freeze
in that country, Mrs. McCarty says
that while some of the trees in the
valley were nipped pretty severely,
that the majority escaped unhurt, and
in their vicinity. where the valley is
much higher than the average, very
little, If any, damage was done. The
mercury dropped to is above zero, or
IL below freezing, the lowest in fifty
years on the Southern Pacific coast.

Their Escape.

Redding, Cal, Jan. 6.-Two I'M
masked men looted the mail car OF
the Oregon express, on the Southern
Pacific, of all registered matter, and
escaped, leaving the mail clerks
bound in the car. sts-
The train was north-bound from San
Francisco, and when it stopped at Red
Bluff, thirty-five miles south of this
city, mail sacks were thrown out and
others taken on .-
One of the three mail clerks was
about to leave the car when the two
bandits moved past him into the mail
car and closed the door.
Discovered by Clerk.
Whats up?" exclaimed Charles J
Ryan, a clerk.
This is a hold-up," coolly respond
ed one Of the men, covering the trio
with revolver.
Ryan, Robert b. Warner and their
assistant were bound and gagged by
the second bandit
When the train reached Cottonwood

dts acted as clerks in exchanging
mail without arousing suspicion. Al
Anderson, five miles farther, they re-
peated the performance, showing com

Goodness Aids Escape.
When the train stopped at Reddine
George Westlake. the local clerk, was
waiting to receive the mail. The out
laws threw open the doors on each
side of the car and walked off in op
posite directions.
Westlake thought they were regu
lar mail clerks. He threw a sack
into the car and was surprised that
no one received it. A moment later
he heard a 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 q
warning.
Strewn over the floor were the
wrappings of hundreds of registered
mail packages. Every sack OF regis
tered mail had been looted. ..-.
