THE CRlCKETS,
4 6odsend Instead VI q Where
They Appear the Grasstopp+rs Va"isl,

6O0Sen0 Instead III Q Peet-Whero
They Appear the Grassiopprrs va"isl,
J. q. Bowerman, of Csmas Prairie,
was in HALEY yesterday. While talk.
ing with q group VI acquaintance on
Main street he said that the crickets
would drive away the grasshoppers.
81 wish to God the crickets would
come to Csmas Prairie. If they did
they ~ouldu't leave q single grass
hopper"
This statement was ridiculed until
MIR. bowerman, nettIed. jumped on
his horse and proceeded 10 Lew.
Dorsey's rsnch, on the east of town,
where both crickets and grasshoppers
were reported plentiful.
He found Mr.. Dorsey working out
an original idea He had run furrow
or made a bank that divided the
water in the ditch aud turned it out
OF its channel. AS the crickets floated
down the ditch they crawled up the
low embank me"t only to come to the
water again and be forced into It by
the swarms OF crick.ts following. The
result was thousands of drowned
crickets.
"What are you killing them for?"
asked Mr.. Bowerman.
"Because l want to get rid of
them" replied Mr.. Dorsey, who per-
maps thought he was being quizz-d.
"lf you let them alone you will
have no grasshoppers," said Mr..
Bowerman.
After some talk the two went to
the alfalfa, where millions Of cricke,s
were a day or two before. Not q
cricket was in sight. Mos. Of tie
weeds we're gone. The alfalfa was
untouched.
Mr.. Dorsey, not satisfied. caught his
horse and rode about 30 rods beyond,
until he came on to the crick cts.
There they were cleaning up partic-
ular weed. sure enough, but not a
grasshopper was to be seen!
Mr.. Bowerman says that he was
caught in a g'asshopper country,
once before, and that when the crick-
cts appeared the pest disappeared,
and the ranchers had much heavier
crops than before the grasshopper Wis.
ita.ion. No one could explain this.
Whether it was due to some f.rtiliz-
ing material in the grasshopper eggs
or to the fact that the land had been
perforce given a rest for years, he
could not say. Perhaps the very
gratifying result was due to both
causes. But the result was and is
undeniable.
Judging from his experience Mr..
Bowermsn predicts that if the c,ick
cts overrun all this region, or a major
portion of it this year, we will have a
really astonishing yield of grain per
acre in cultivation next year, unless
something unforeseen prevents.

THE BONES OF A MAN DEAD OVER 4
YEAR DISCOVERED.

THE BONES OF A MAN DEAD OVER A
YEAR DISCOVERED.
PECos CITY, Tex, May 29.-Some
excitement was caused here last even
ing by report that dead man had
been found near Hermoza. the first sta
tion west of this place. The first re-
port was that the man had been dead
onlya week or ten days Justice Mer-
riman, County Attorney Hefner and
others visited the scene OF the murder
today and while they found an abund-
ance of evidence that thu man was
murdered they are satisfied that he
has been dead for year at
least. The bones of the unfortunate
were found several days ago by a
little Mexican girl while g .theripg
wood. She collected the bleached
bones and buried them as best she
could and owing to the spot being in
an unfrequented locality the news OF
the discovery did not reach here until
yesterday. The little girl at the time
she found and buried the remains also
gathered the tattered clothing such as
had not been blown off by the winds
and burned it, thus destroying almost
the only hope of ever identifying the
victim.
The bones were all bleached. The
entire flesh had no doubt been eaten
by the wolves. The skull had bullet
hole between the eyes and was crushed
in on one side. An old shoe was found
with the bones OF a foot in it and a
piece of the silk back of vest. These,
with map Of the Mexican Central
railroad, were all that could be found
which would in any way aid in idepti-
ficaticn. The authorities are, OF course,
at sea, but will make as thorough an
investigation as possible. County
Attorney Hefner states that the man
would probably have weighed 100
pounds, and judging from the shoe
and portion of vest found was well
dressed. Cuff bottoms and shirt studs
were also found in the ashes where the
clothing was burned.

is no disposition ON the part of this
government, 50 far as can be learned,
to intervene" in the CHILEAN contest,
for the meaning of this term in diplo-
matte language is siding with one fac
ton or the other. Now, certainly, the
government of the United States, and
presumably the government of no
other nation, is prepared at present to
go to this length. AS repeatedly
stated. our minister to Chilli and miu-
listers of France and Brazil stand ready
to mediate between the factions in the
interest of peace, but this is very
different function from Intervention.

The Largest in the United States, and
Four Men Can Hardly Hold 1t.
Four young men in Terryville, Lun 7.
Bunnell, Arthur c. Bunnell, A. Andrus and
Wallace L. Cock, are the originators and
makers of kite, which is probably the
largest in the United States, If not IN tne
world 1t was constructed about year ago:
The dimensions of the kite are; LeIEtn 10 %
upright stick, 16h feet; of cross stich' l.1s
fatt of tail made of stout rope, In which
are secured pieces of saeklng ana Dnr-
IAN lao feet area of canvas, about 200
.opaie feet. A clothes line is used Tor the
string. which is 1900 feet long.
On Thursday, November 10Th, during a
high wind, the kite was launched into space
for the first time this fall. After it was
start, d four young men held the string, and
at a height of nearly 1000 feet, with their
united efforts, they were unable to manage
1t, and were dragged for quite distance.
They required the help OF two others to
reach tree near the home of Mr. Andrus,
where the end of the clothes line was tied
aud the kite sailed gracefully over the vii
lage until nightfall at an altitude of over
1000 feet. On account OF the prevailing high
wind it was found that the tail was too
short, and a common sheet was used to oD-
tain the necessary length. This, when tne
kite was at its greatest height. appears, ~ r.
larger than a mans hand. The wno, nan.
