shot to death by the police after he had

story shows that in the second bank en-
tered by the desperate he dropped an
additional $4,000 when making Cor his

The scene of the first robbery was
the branch of the Provident Savings
Bank and Trust Company, at Eighth

The bandit who looked more like a
bank clerk than a desperate, went into
the bank shortly before IL clock

cashier, Catherine Walsh, 20 Calhoun

blow of his fist. Then the robber fired
two shots at Hughes.
Holding an automatic revolver in one
hand the bandit climbed an eight foot
brass railing running the length of the
bank room. Hughes dared not start
toward the intruder, for the muzzle of
the gun was pointed straight at him.
In the other hand the stranger carried

COOSE-BONE Says COLD
It Is Black From the Middle of Decem-
ber Clear Back to March and
That Means Hard Winter

The goose-bone for the winter Of
1914-15 says severe weather all during
the winter months, and then some.
And, what is more, the weather thus
far has stuck by the goose-bone fore
cast
Old weather prophets, who have pre-
dicted the weather for years, still stand
by the goose-bone and their predictions
and the reading of that ornithological
weather map, of the member of the
tribe of anserinae, govern many in
their preparations for the winter
months.
A goose-bone brought to the Star-In-
dependent office this week announces in
loud tones (if goose-bone can produce
tones) that this is going to be hard
winter. A goose-bone savant, who
knows how to read the signs on the
bone, says that in the reading Of it the
projecting part of the breast bone is
divided into three parts, from the
sharp tip to where it reaches the fiat
part of the bone-these parts meaning
the winter months of December, Janu-
ary and February.
The goose-bone brought TO this Of
fee shows that the forepart of Decem
ber is white, typifyifg mild weather,
but after that, from the middle of
December the goose-bone is very dark,
which means that we are to have severe
weather from now until the end of
February.
But, more than that, the black part
of this particular goose-bone runs over
into the fiat part of the bone, indicat-
ing that even March will have its Sc.
we're weather.
Thus far the goose e-bone has been
vindicated, for the beginning of De-
cember was pleasant, but nobody can
say that the latter half of the month.
thus far, has been by any means mild.
just what January and February and
the beginning of March will be, the
bone says, and that means that you NAV
as well make up your minds to burn
more coal than you had calculated on
using.

or cards were found that would give a
clue as to who he was. The only thing
in the clothing was an old-time watch.

Late WAR news SUMMARY

The German War Office announce
ment of an overwhelming victory in Po-
land still fails to bring a response
from Petrograd. Berlin is puzzled by
the absence of details and is said to be
experiencing "a shade of disappoint-
ment," although still celebrating the
reported victory.
Petrograd dispatches say that the
new Austrian expedition across the Car
pathian mountains into Galicia has been
checked, and that the Russian forces
near the Snesian frontier are holding
their positions firmly. The Cracow re-
gion is described as the real pivot of
the operations now developing, which
would indicate that the Russians were
content for the present to remain on
the defensive in north and central Po-
land, while planning an attempt to in
wade Germany from the south.

Seven Italians and crowd of wom-

Obtaining reinforcements they made
a prompt search for the other assail-
