Although she has borne other

Weir. Milne had been brought ia
the jail several days before from his

county because of his mental condi-

his clothing and attempted to kill his
cellmate. The latter fought his As

attention of tho Tailor was drawn,
and when the latter entered the cell
he was brought into the fight and
tho two were unable to subdue the
mailman, who then attempted to cut
them with the blade of . safety rasor.
Weir managed to get Woodruff out

degrees above. The warmest day
was So degrees above on December
IA and the coolest was 8 degrees be-
low on December 80. In December
1919, the mean maximum was lit

| the minimum was about 10 degrees
above. The warmest day was on De-
cember 20. when so degrees above
was recorded, and the minimum was
recorded on December IL, when the
mercury slid into the cellar with 8
thud, registering % degrees below
zero.
The precipitation registered varies
from 90 IL inches in December,
1919, to IA of an inch In 1918. The
heaviest snowfall recorded in the
five years was in 1916 when 4 IL
inches fell.
While December is one of the cold

gust is one of the hottest. The wea-
Their reports show that Montana is
peculiarly favored as to August wea-
Their also. The month just past has
been one of the hottest, coolest, wet
test and frostiest months in the past
five years. A killing frost fell on
August %.
No killing frost is entered on the
weather sheets for the five-year Pc
riod. The hottest days this month
were August Is and 16 when the
thermometer registered SO degrees.
This temperature was equalled on
August II, last year, but not in an
other August back to 1916. The
coolest day in August, 1920, was 35
degrees. This was beaten by Aug
ust, 1919, when the minimum was 80
degrees, but by no other August in
the period though it was equalled in
August, 1917.
Champion Rain Month
In the matter of rain, August,
1920, holds the championship. The
total precipitation for % days-up to
Monday morning-was ia inches.
This is g greater than 1918. 1t is
.16 greater than fell in 1919, 1917
and 1916 combined. In 1919, there
was recorded total precipitation of
SO inches. In 1917 there was only
a trace of moisture during the en-
tire month. In 1916 there was a
total of SO inches. On August 9,
1920, there fell ST inches of rain.
This fall was greater than the pre-
cipitation for the entire month in any
one of the three years named. In
1918 the total fall was Ill inches,
which is not bad second to the
past month.
August, 1920, appeared to bunch

Frigidity, Is Close to the Northern
Boundary of Montana; Some Their
mOmeter Truths.

To most people who live without
the borders of Montana the name
spells billiards., icebergs and slow
death by freezing. To the people of
the east Montana is as closely asso-
ciated with arctic weather as is the
name of Missouri with highwaymen,
in the same minds, In the days of
Jesse James and his gang. AS a
matter of fact Montana is not at all
frigid nor are all Missourians high
waymen. A scrutiny of the weather
reports, however, will convince the
most skeptical that Montana in eli
mate will rank above many places
whose people never complain of the
temperature at alI-in fact, regard
themselves as favored by Providence.
There Is some excuse for eastern
people, who live In states 80 small
that they wouldn't make good Mon
tana COW pasture, to regard Montana
as q frigid zone. When these geo.
graphically hampered folk read that
Medicine Hat is the place where bliz-
yards have their origin, they note
that It is near the Montana line and
conclude that the jewellers in the
