ment. Huntley will plead self-defense
and the "unwritten" law. He is rep
resented by Attorney George M. Rob
erts and the state by District Attorney

county homesteader and mill worker,
as a climax to a bitter quarrel over
Glbbs' attentions to Mrs. Huntley.

rendered to the local police.

the outgrowth of domestic troubles of
the Huntley's, in which Glbbs is
averred to have been' a disturbing
factor.
At the coroner's Inquest it was
brought out that a prayer meeting had
been held at the Huntley home, near
the end of West Second street, ami
that the officiating minister had en
deavored to heal the breach between
the Huntley's. He admonished prayer
alone to this end.
The service closed about midnight.

tor's advice and went to a shed, where

with other members of the family,
and looked through a window.

fendant is alleged to have made accu
sations and to have struck her. Gibbs

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. The hard
est winter In years Is the forecast for
the United States, particularly the
northern half.
There really will be weather to talk
about.
A drop In the temperaturo of the
oeeun, due to a decline In solar radia
tion, is the basis for the prediction of
experts.
Not only Is a hard winter predicted,
but it is declared that nevt summer
will be the shortest and chilliest since
1816.
One of the experts taking a definite
stand to- this effect is Coindr. George
F, Brandt, -U. H. navy hydrographer.
Comdr. ilrandt believes that the tem
perature of the sea Influences local
climatic changes and that these are
modified by changes in the sun's heat.
Solar ltadiutioii el How Normal
Solar radiation in 1922, 1923 and
1924 was below normal und, ns tho
heat In these years determined the
oceanic temperatures for the years
1325, 1920 and 1927, tho climates In
those years will be correspondingly
modified.
Householders without their usual
supplies of coal, bankers, brokers and
bootleKKors arranging the schedules of
their Florida and California outings,
farmers considering their next year's
crops, are all wondering If the long
distance weather prophets are to be
relied on. In the present state of
science no one can answer with as
surance. Nevertheless, It Is well established
that variations' In normal weather
constantly are not mere matters of
chance and that there is a cyclic
movement originating In the cosmos
beyond our planet.
Nevertheless, it la well established
taht variations In normal weather

Contrary to popular belief, the past
weather histories of days, weeks,
months and years is of no value for
predicting future conditions, weath
ermen say. The accurate considera
tion of future weather conditions
must depend upon an exact study of
atmospheric presures over great areas
and a determination of the solar phe
nomena which are responsible for the
abnormalities In the earthy ntmos
pheiio changes.
What Is needed to promote accu
rate forecasts, they aver. Is a world
enHrcling chain of observation sta
tions to show the diurnal changes In

barometric readings corrected for the

level, and the direction of the winds.

similar data. , ,
Air Oirronls Important
In the northern hemisphere. It Is
explained, the weather conditions nor
mally result from reactions caused by
the collisions of two air streams flow
ing from the equator to the north polo
and from the pole to the equator.
These streams flow continuously,
day and night, In a regular circle, and
meet In places along a shifting front
In the temperate zones and give rlH
to our weather changes. The polar gigantic and powerful circulatory cor
air Is cold and that form the equator rent and Is the most Important of our

DAMAGE SUIT IS
The civil action of I. K. Schuler
against W. J. Fredenburg for $500
damages, via injunction proceedings,
and a counter-suit by Fredenburg for
$74 1.1 0 damages. Is being heard in
the circuit court today and will be
given to the jury this afternoon.
The testimony asserts that Schuler
gave Fredenburg a verbal contract
for excavating the basement of the
apartment house now under con
struction at Sixth and Onkdale streets
and that It was annulled when Fre
denburg Is .alleged to have failed to
start work when he agreed. Schuler
then hired another crew of excava
tors. In the meantime, Fredenburg
appeared with men and equipment
an an injunction was asked to keep
him from doing tho work, after which
It Is alleged he refused to stop.
Both-then took legal action against
the other. The testimony and evi
dence is highly .com plicated y
Fredenburg In defense alleges that
the delay was due to failure to re
move old houses, then on the prem
ises. The plaintiff maintains that
after watting a reasonable length of
time ho hired another.
Tho defense Is represented by At
torney W. E. Phlpps, and the plaintiff
by Newbury and Newbury.
