By JOHN BYRNE
Old-timers have been ruminating
over the possibilities of a hard
winter. The pages of history and
weather lore have been examined
as far back as 1889 and 90.

Now do you wonder why we have been endeavoring, through
a series of short articles each week, to tell the real truth about

silent when such a man was accusing all his neighbors—some
of them friends of yours—of every henious and dishonest crime
