believe they would prefer paying the small addi-

went to a window and could look into
the office, where they saw the men
at work. There were four in the gang,
three tail men and one rather short
All were muffled up in heavy over
coats. Two of the tall men watched
at the post office door while the others
worked.

break the safe, and two other shots
followed, the third one being fired fif-

Over Half Foot Fall at
Noon Today
TRAFFIC is DELAYED
May Turn TO Sleet Tonight;
Grounding Saw Only

The first real snowfall of the win-
ter began early this morning continu-
ing practically all day. Seven and
one-half inches of snow had fallen at
noon, and indications pointed to snow
the remainder of the day and sleet
and snow all night.
Little wire trouble was experienced
in and about the city, but traffic on
the trolley lines of the Harrisburg and
Valley Railways Companies was de-
layed, all of the cars running a little
behind schedule during the day. The
suburban lines experienced the most
difficulty in running, but the Harris
burg Railways Company managers
sent four sweepers out this morning
to clear off most of the snow. This
helped materially in maintaining
schedules on the lines.
During the morning the mercury
remained almost stationary at 26 de-
grees indicating that the snow would
not change to sleet unless the tem7
perature made decided jump. Slightly
colder weather is predicted to follow
in the wake of the snowstorm of to-
