Delivered THE GOODS
MAN HAD RAIN FOR SALE AND
SAN DIEGO MUST PAY
$4,000.

Los Angeles, Feb. 25.-The suppo-
sition that rain comes down because
1t listeth Is officially refuted in San
Diego, where $4,000 may have TO
be paid out of the city treasury by
way of SCATTERING the old belief that
Mother Nature il responsible.
The city attorney has ruled that
the city must pay Charles Hatfield
that sum for filling the Morena dam.
Hatfield is a rainmaker. He went to
San Diego some weeks ago and spoke
somewhat as follows;
Il notice you don't have very much
of an average rainfall here. I'd like
to make rain for you
Fill Morena dam" said the u
cilmen, and they all laughed. Nor
ena dam had never been more than a
third filled.
"All right" said Hatfield. for
100000"
Still laughing, they agreed.
Hatfield erected his tower nea the
dam. put his galvanized iron tanks on
top of them, wrapped the tanks with
tar paper. and poured in his chemical
fluid. He was off in the mountains
and the city forgot him. The
cilmen were measuring the treasury
and thinking about appro-
priating-but never about the So
000-when it began to rain.
Some one brought down word that
the water at Morena dam was higher
than il ever had been.
Hatfield isn't doing it." the coun-
cilmen said. "Eyerybody's getting
rain these days"
But when the downpour continued,
and the flood followed, some favored
paying Hatfield $1,000 and calling it
quits. But Hatfield is ure he will
get his $10 900.
What his chemicals are he has
never revealed. The tar paper, col
lecting head causes the liquid to
evaporate in the day time. and at
night he applies enough heat to pro-
duce the same result. Ascending
columns of yapor from the tanks have
the power. he says. to attract mois-
ture even to the dryest spot.

CAPTURES


Bison, Feb. 25.-Sam Hooker, of
this section is not quite like the east
erner who came out west to work on
a sheep ranch and tried to chase all
the jack rabbits into the corral,
thinking they were lambs. but never
theless, Hooker has demonstrated
that the jack rabbits can be corraled
very successfully just the same.
just before the present thaw Hook
err placed a pile OF oats on the ground
for the sheep. During the night he
noticed dozens of jack rabbits feed
ing off the oats too. He tried shoot
ing them, but this was unsatisfactory,
so the next day he made a corral
about Is feet in diameter of seven
foot woven wire, placed this over the
oats, tilted one end up on a stake and
waited until night, when he Jerked
the wire and pulled away the stake
He found he had sixteen jacks safely
enclosed. The next night he caught
twelve and the next night eight. Thef
came the thaw and the rabbits found
plenty to eat on the prairie without
going to the Hooker yard. Mr.. Hook
er is confident that with this method
he can clean up the country or jacks
with another snowfall to help him.

PREDICT FLOOD
Georges Hold at Pierre While Ice
Breaks Up i'm Montana.

Pierre, Feb. 25.-Old timers are
predicting that Fort Pierre is in for
q lot of flood damage soon, because
the Missouri river has broken up in
Montana, but is still holding here.
Once before, in 1881, this condition
prevailed. The ice gorging at this
point forced the water from above to
seek an outlet around the island, and
Fort Pierre was flooded. The town
has additional trouble each spring
from Bad river, which flows into the
Missouri. but now the Bad river ice
has been dynamited, and this will
help materially. To avoid flood con-
ditions it Is hoped there that the Mis-
souri, will very soon now break here,
or that it will freeze again in Mon
tana.

WAR SUMMARY

COMPILED BY THE Assoc
GATED PRESS.

New York. Feb. Especial
corps under Crown Prince Frederick
William are engaged along a 25-mile
front north of Verdun in a desperate
effort to drive back the French de
Tending forces, probably with the
capture of the great fortress of Yer
dun in view.
There has been very heavy fight
ing for a considerable period in this
district of the French war zone, but
within the last few days the attacks
Of the Germans have taken on added
strength. The battle line has been
extended and now reaches from Ma
lancourt on the west, to Etain on the
east, with Verdun in the center, only
a few miles southwark.
The Germans claim to have made
important advances and to some eX-
tent these are admitted by the French
war office. which describes the battle
as one OF increasing intensity.
The German preparations were eN-
tensive and the bombardment of the
French positions with thousands of
shells was uninterrupted. AS the
French had %foreseen this battle. all
their available guns were called into
action and responded in kind to the
heavy Smelling of the Germans.
While at some points the French
were unable to resist the onslaught
of the attacking forces along the en-
tire length of the front. according to
Paris communications, the attacks
were well sustained and very heavy
losses were inflicted on the Germans.
Another British steamer, the West
burn, has put into port flying the
German flag and with her a prize
crew aboard. This vessel has reached
Santa Cruz, Teneriffe. She has on
board 206 prisoners, taken from vari-
Gus British vessels, which have been
sunk by German raiders.
