MILD JANUARY.
Average for the Month Breaks An
Records.

January, 1914, was by a degree and q
half the mildest January ever recorded
at Topeka, with an average tempera-
ture higher than that Of most Decem-
bers and nine-tenths OF the Febru-
arys. ana makes the winter Of 1854
the mildest on record at Topeka up to
date and the only winter without a
{ lower temperature than 9.4 degrees, ac-
-cceding to the summary OF January
iiweather that will be issued tomorrow
at the local office Of the weather bu-
reau.
With one exception the precipita ton
OF the month was the least on record
! for any January at Topeka and with
three exceptions it was the least that
has fallen at Topeka during any month
of the past q years.
There was slightly more sunshine
than Is usual this time OF the year
and only three Januarys in 16 years
have had more wind. taking the month
as a whole.
A more detailed account of the
months weather gives its average tenn
perature at SO degrees which is 10 de-
grees above normal. The excess in
temperature was remarkably uniform
| through the month and while the high
temperature record was broken on very
few days there were only five during
the month that averaged below normal.
The highest temperature of the
month was IS degrees on the 10Th: the
lowest IL degrees on the 18th. Several
previous Januarys have had higher
temperatures. but none have passed
without lower minimum than the
lowest Of this month and none have had
as few days when the temperature fell
below freezing.
The total precipitation Of the month
was but .07 OF an inch which is SO inch
below normal The only measurable
snowfall during the month was q inch
on the 10th. but there have haeu fo,,r
previous Januarys with less snowfall
than this.

Claude Wood Acquitted

The case of Claude Wood. charged
with stealing cattle over near Natu-
rita some six years ago. was con-
cluded in the district court on Tues
day night when the case went to the
jury. The latter. after deliberating
a portion of the night returned a
verdict OF not guilty"
Owing to the absence of one i'm
portant witness for the state. who is
said to be dead. the state was unable
to bring about connecting chain OF
evidence in the case so as to tie Wood
up to the theft so that the jury could
bring in a verdict of guilty.
The case was most carefully and
stubbornly fought by the attorneys
on both sides, and It appeared that
every point that could be covered
was used to the best advantage
