fisherman were looking over their
tackle they received severe jolt by
winter playing a return engagement.

age was done to telephone vines and
reports from Kansas City said that
most trains were from one to four
hours late. In parts of Kansas the
wheat, which was suffering for mois-
ture, was benefited considerably by
the snow, but in Bates county there
was hardly enough to be oi much
use. Saturday night the mercury
went almost to zero and Sunday
morning the plumbers had a busy
time thawing out frozen pipes. Mon
day it was clear and warmer and it
is to be hoped that winter is gone
for this year.
