EVEN WEATHER
IS UNUSUAL ON
CHRlSMASDAY
Thermometer at High Points
Equalled But Once in
Last so Years

Even the weather man was in
good spirits at Christmas time.
The balmy breezes which visited
Bismarck Sunday and Monday have
been equalled but once in the half
century history of the local weather
bureau. The. entire Northwest, as
we'll as the rest of the country, also
enjoyed warmer weather than usual.
Only those who like to see deep
blanket of snow at Christmas time
were disappointed.
One doesn't have to 60 back to the
farthest reaches Of memory Of the
oldest settler to have an equal to
the period, however. The weather in
1919 was almost duplicate of the
present year thus far, the weather
bureau reports.
On Monday the thermometer as
cended to the As and its lowest
resting po'nt was %. On Sunday
the highest was Al and the lowest
was 80. In 1919 the temperatures
ranged just about the same during
the latter part of the month, accord
ing to weather bureau records. Dur
ing the first half Of December, 1919,
as this year, the temperatures were
very low.
Golf and ball games were indulRd
in at various points in the North
west Christmas day. Out at Beach
ball game between business men
was on the holiday schedule.
Winnipeg was the only point on
the weather report today which
showed a temperature below zero,
the lowest there being 4. Some
other points gave their lowest temp
erature as follows: Rise, Idaho,
2S; Chicago, 40; Des Moines, 80;
Denver, 80; Edmonton, Alberta, ID;
Helena, Montans; 81; Miles City,
Montana. "a; Moorhead, MINI, 10;

Not only was the business larger

Both the outgoing and incoming
mail volume was larger, according to
Assistant Postmaster o. Lundquist.
The rush kept up to the last minute,
he said, and there were some delay
ed packages, but it was expected that
the Office would be cleared entirely
today.
Shoppers began to mail in volume
week ago Saturday. The volume
increased steadily until Thursday
before. Christmas, the heaviest mail
ing day. Friday and Saturday were
not quite as heavy.
"More people mailed earlier this
year than even before, ! believe"

alleged liquor combine, will be
launched at once, prohibition officers
announced, today, as result Of the

eight dry. agents.
Cooperating with city police and
county officials, the enforcement Of
ficials believe the drive will result
in wholesale arrests and the mailing
down Of the volstead lid tighter than
ever before in this county.
But while planning the new move
against liquor dealers, officials adj
mitted they were baffled by the mur-:
der Of Blinn, whose body, with three
bullet wounds, was found in the dark
alley in the Polish section of Steu.
bensville. Twenty feet away lay the
empty pocketbook of the officer. His
revolver was missing.
Only one new theory regarding
the manner in which he met death
was advanced by the police today
that he was hot killed where his
body was found Police pointed out
that the tell tale pool Of blood was
missing.
"Blinn undoubtedly was killed in
some resort while on a raiding ex-
cursion and his body. hidden in the
alley" said Sergeant Richard Edger-
ly of the Steubensville police force.
"Had he met death in the alley there
would have been big blood spots on
the pavement" he added. ID
Blinn, known to his friends as the
marked man of the bootleggers's'
who operated from his headquarters
in Richmond, Ohio, is the fifth JEFF
ferson county prohibition officer to
meet death at the hands of unknown
gunmen. Less than a year ago Mike
Veltrie was lured into an automo.
bile, shot and his body thrown from
the car along an isolated country
road. ~
Four other enforcement agents
who had worked with Ve1trie also
were murdered, one at Weirton West
Virginia, another at Washington pa,
a third at Yorkville, Ohio, and the
fourth in Italy after returning to
his native land. -
A woman entered into considera-
tion today in the killing yesterday
of Charles "Dixie" Blinn, prohibition
officer, the marked man. of the dry
squad here.
Police said Blinn was last seen
leaving the home Of Miss Lulu Lyle,
about 10 p. nj, and that shortly after

near the house, and of seeing an au-
tomobile driven away from near the
residence.
According to information given

ed at the home of Charles Walker
last night in an intoxicated condi-
tion, brandishing revolver, and
threatening to "pinch" number Of
