A big snow storm occurred Tuesday in New Y"ork. Dispatches say that there was 10 inches on the level and that in many places it had drifted several feet high. In south-' ern Indiana there was considerable snow, also, but in this part of the state Christmas and several days preceding were ideally fine. Today started out bright and promising but it clouded up before noon and there are local indications of snow at this time. The” weather forecast, however, is for fair and colder. Mr. and Mrs. Bayard Clark, of Pueblo, Colo., are here today for a visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Clark, apd other relatives. Mrs. Clark preceded him here and, has been visiting relatives at Monon, from which place they came to Rensselaer. They came on train No. 32, which is due here at 10:12, but did not arrive until 1 o’clock, thus interfering with the plans for a big family dinner at the old home Bayard says that there never tvas as big a crop in Colorado as there was the past year. Irrigation, whicn has been introduced- there, has augmented all farming and sugar beet raising is at its height. Railroads are busy, which is of especial interest to Bayard, who is a conductor on the Santa Fe between Pueblo and Hunter. Mr. and Mrs. Clark are accompanied by their daughter, who is now almost 17 years of age. j While enroute to Rensselaer from Chicago Heights, Miss Lillian Alter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Alter, of Union township, was siezed with a very severe attack of appendicitis and had to he carried on to the train at Dyer, where the change of cars is made, and from the train at Rensselaer. She was taken to the her uncle, I. N. Hemphill, here, and a physician called, and for a time it was feared the attack would have a fatal termination. Today, however, she is slightly improved. It has been de-. cided not to operate at present, hut after she is improved from this attack an operation will probably he performed. Miss Alter had another severe attaek of the trouble about a year ago. John Hemphill, son of Mr. and Mrs. I. N.
