Sunday Evening Two Homes In

Sunday evening about nine o'clock by
robbers and money to the sum of ten
dollars was taken. The bandits ran
sacked the entire lower floor of the
Jacobs home and had good start in
the upstairs section when it is believ-
! ed they were frightened away upon the
arrival Of Mr.. and Mrs. HI. Berschner.

the weekend in Lodi and after some
business up town went to their rooms.
discovering that some one had been
there ahead of them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacobs were out for
the evening and did not arrive home
until after ten o'clock to find their
house in disorderly state
Mr.. Jacobs had some $50 in the
trousers of his every day suit in a
closet upstairs which the robbers did
not find. Five dollars were taken
from the china cabinet down stairs
and other sums amounting to $40 in
all were gathered from about the
! house
| 1t was later found that bank COR
tanning $40 was also stolen.
! Mrs. Jacobs states that the residen-
ce was left in a terrible state with
contents of cabinets and bureau draw
ers scattered around the floor, up
stairs and down.
1t is believed that the intruders
gained entrance through the pantry
window on the first floor, but it is not
icertain as possibly they might have
gone through the front entrance be-
cause the latch key was near at hand.

| The home of Mr. and Mrs. L. B.
Schneider on Eighth street was also en-,
tered and ransacked Sunday evening
while Mr. and Mrs. Schneider were at
church. The marauders did not OBJ

away empty handed took mackinaw
and some fruit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schneider were away
from home from 715 until nearly TEN
o'clock Sunday evening so it is not
| certain what time the bandits entered.
The Schneider home, similar to the
Jacobs residence, was put in a topsy-
turvy state while the robbers were
searching for valuables
| The invaders gained an entrance
to the above residence by prying open
a window on the back porch, it is be-

REST OF WINTER
Mild, is BELIEF

If history repeats itself, the re.
mainder of the winter will be excep-
tionally mild, with a very early
spring.
Weather bureaus records show that
the winter of 1880-81 was very similar
to the present one, with a mild Jan
uary and an even milder February and
March. similar winter may be ex-
perienced this year.
The average temperature so far thie
month has been 26 degrees or 10 de-
grees higher than in January, 1920.
The maximum temperature of AZ de-
grees was reached today and on
January 3.
A year ago there were several days
when the mercury fell below zero Sc
far this month no zero temperatures
have been recorded
