IFrom Tuesdays Daiiy.l

The storm seemingly is broken,
but wire communication either east

Telephone company has one wire
open to Newton and is able by
roundabout way to get in communi-
cation with Salina and other towns
10 the west. The one line to Enter
prise that was open yesterday Is the
only other communication obtain
able. The company said today that
they expected to open communlca-
ton east and west some time tomor-
row. Six crews, comprising 90 men,
are at work in this county alone To-
day working to restore the COM
pany's service. y
! Despite the poor communication,

running practically on schedule time
TODAY. A wire has been opened up
from salina to Denver and has been,
kept open. This morning the locaF
Union Pacific office was In toucn'

Store at Navarro
Looted by Robbers

from concordia and set on the trail
this morning. The dogsy led the
sheriff to the home OF several Mexi-
cans near the Santa Fe yards. A
search of the building revealed no
stolen goods and the dogs were call
ed off the scent.
Various rpmors are noised about
at Navarro concerning the robbery.
One is that the thieves came and
went in an automobile. The story
goes that an automobile went
through town about l o'clock last
night, but so far efforts to place the
robbery have failed. The stock was
gone through and merchandise lett
living on the floor. The Navarro
robbery coming on the heels OF the
recent pilfering of the Phelps store
at. Enterprise will redouble the Of
ficers' efforts to catch the thieves

THIS WEEK LAST FOR
INCOME TAX STATEMENTS

II you had an income last year,
between March / and Dec. 81. OF
over $500 If unmarried or over
$3333 if married you have until
March lst to make report to the
internal revenue collector. A tax
of one per cent on all in excess OF
that income is assessed. If you do
not make a statement before March
1st a fine Of $40 to $1,000 is pro-
vided. Thirty inspectors will go
over Kansas looking up people who
are supposed to have that revenue.
They can investigate under oath and
on their report grand jury indict-
ment will follow. The smart thing
to do in dealing with the govern
ment is to tell the whole truth
promptly.

rrom Mondays Daily,l


A strong wind that bore down
from the northeast yesterday after
noon brought the worst storm OF the
winter Although the temperature
dropped only to zero over night con-
siderably less than at other times
this winter the fierce wind and the
bIinding snowstorm that accompan-
led the change made the night es-
pecially severe. The storm raged 10
the west fully as bad as In centrai
Kansas, according to reports, which
are meagre because OF the poorest
communication of the year. All COM
rhunication east and west was cut
off About 8 inches of snow fell. Ac-
curate measurement OF the fall is
we'll nigh impossible, for the winu

The light drizzle that fell yesterday
morning froze on the telegraph ana
telepbone wires, weighing them
down, and dragging many poles 70
the ground when the heavy winds
came. Between Solomon and ADJ
lene alone, more than 60 poles are
down. Some of them fell across the
roads. Others tore down sections OF
barb wire fences as they fell. The
Union Pacific suffered the worst, at
least so of the railroads poles be-
ing weighted and by the ice-coVered
wires and brought to earth by the
gale. Santa Fe train No. 3lS' local
from Salina, smashed through a
network of wires that had fallen
across the track at a double cross

in town being torn down.
