There has been some dispute as to
whether the minimum record of last
Saturday was the lowest ever record
ed officially in this section of the
state. To settle all disputes Walter
Ratliff, former government weather
observer for Wayne county, announc-
ed today, after perusal of his old re-
cords, that February 13, 1899, exceed
ed the minimum record of January
13, 1912, by six degrees. On that chill
February day, thirteen years ago, the
mercury dropped to 81 degrees below
zero. This is lowest temperature on
record for Eastern Indiana in SO
years. The week preceding February
Is, 1899, was probably the coolest ON
record. The minimum temperatures
for that week follow: February Z
zero; Feb. S-8 below; Feb. 9-24 be-
low; feb 10-17 below; Feb 11-13 be-
low; Feb 12-15 below; Feb. 13-31 be-
