HYDE MURDER CASE

KANSAS CITY, April 11.-Action
In the B. c. Hyde murder case. which
the Missouri supreme court today re-
versed and remanded to this county
for new trial. tonight awaits the ar
rival Of the official mandate from JEFF,
ferson City. Attorney for both sides
can make no definite plans for the
future until they have read this docu-
ment. That the case will be retired
Is certain. says Prosecutor Conkling.
who also said that action might be
brought against Hyde on one of the
other charges, as, for instance, the
charge of first degree murder in CON
nection with the death of Chrisman
Swope.
While no definite statement can be
obtained regarding whether the spec
ial counsel refined in the first trial
to assist Conkling will again be avail
able it is said on good authority he
will not be. The heirs of Col. Swope.
other than Mrs Logan o. Swope,
Hyde's motherin-law, were always
averse to hiring this especial counsel
because of the great cost entailed.
As Attorney Walsh. head counsel
for DR.. Hyde understands the action
of the supreme court. no mention is
made whether DR.. Hyde is admissible
to bona The attorney therefore will
ask for bond for the prisoner as early
as possible. Judge Latshaw says he
will not be able to pass on the ques-
ton until the mandate arrives. Both
sides are anxious for an early retrial.
Walsh says he is ready at once. Conk-

ARMBRUSTER
HOME AGAIN
Trip From San Francisco to Sc
attic in Record Time, Fifty
One Hours
EX-MAYOR BENEFITED
BY PROLONGED TRIP
He Favors the Commission Form
of Government, But Thinks the
Law Will Be Declared Uncon-
stitutional If Tested

Ex-mayor P. NJ. Armbruster and
wife returned on Northern Pacific
train No. AZ last night at 1926, af-
ter an absence in various cities of
California for seven months. Their
last stop for any length of time in
the Estate of sunshine and flowers
was at Long Beach, from which place
they came direct.
They Were Lucky
To prove that they were both born
under luck stars it may be stated
that they were among the fortunate
ones who made the ocean trip on
the Governor from San Francisco to
Seattle, beating all previous records,
time between ports, fifty-one hours.
First and foremost, however, in i'm
portance, is the fact that the health
of Mr. Armbruster is much improved
and he looks twice as well as he
used to-" as one of those who greeted
him remarked. 1t will be remembered,
that he was compelled to resign as
mayor on account of i'll health, in
order to take the trip that has been
so beneficial.
Government by Commission
The eX-mayor expressed himself as
favorable to the commission form of
government for the city, but said he
was sorry for he believed that the
law granting the right to North Yak
ina was unconstitutional. His prin-
cipal reason for favoring the innova-
ton is not on account of the expense,
for he is of the opinion that city
government will cost just as much
under the new as the old, but on
account of being able to get better
service from officials.
From Politics to Baseball
In regard to the cup which he Of
fered last year to the winning team
in the Central Washington Baseball
league, he said that the cup would
have been forthcoming but that the
league broke up without the schedule
being finished. He says he stands
ready right now, with the same prop
osition, if they will organize a league
and play it out His cup was to have
an ordinary vase Of some kind, plast-
cred with from ten to twenty five
dollar gold pieces, so that the money
could have been detached without too
much bother and distributed among
the players of the winning team,
where it would have done the most
good.
The ex-mayor was too busy to tell
OF his plans for the future, but it
goes without saying that he will be in
the business swim.

WHITE BLUFFS PROFITS
BY NEW HERD LAW
Adoption of This Law VIII En-
able Communities to Improve
and Beautify Grounds

steps are now being taken at White
Bluffs to take advantage Of an amend
ment to the herd law, passed at the
last session Of the legislature says the
White Bluffs Spokesman.
Under this law ten or more free
holders may petition the board of
county commissioners to create herd
district.
Progressive ranchers will be- strong
ly in favor of taking advantage OF
the benefits of this law as it will pro-
tect them in growing windbrake, fruit
and ornamental trees and shrubbery
along their fences without its being
destroyed by stock. Some ranchers
want to plant trees on their fence
line, to use the tree trunks later as
fence posts Until herd law is en-
forced, it is not advisable to do such
planting.
Many a nice shade trees in White
Bluffs has been destroyed by stock
running at large, and in one or two
instances much i'll feeling was en-
gendered.
The adoption of the new herd law
will permit unorganized communities
to improve and beautify.

AS to the Damage Which Has
Been Done by the Frost and
Cold of Past Few Nights
TEMPERATURES LOCAL
SAYS FRUIT INSPECTOR
Question for the Future to Decide
Is Just What Effect Lack of
Moisture Has in This Particu-
lar Section

Some fruit growers say that all the
fruit has been killed in the Mob Hill
section and others say it has not
Still others declare that they know
nothing about it and propose to wait
until time shall have revealed the
truth. This waiting business has a
practical side. Many people who have
hitherto handled wrapping paper
and other orchard supplies have SO
far this year declined to purchase
the things which will be needed when
the harvest season comes, saying that
they do not care to stock up at q time
when it is impossible 60 determine
whether or not they will be able to
get rid of their stock before another
season has rolled around.
Mob Hill Was Cold
The temperature Monday night
went as low as % degrees above
zero at the Nottingham place and %
above zero at the Huxtable place on
Mob hill At the Reclamation service
office in this city the lowest point was
26 degrees. Just how it is possible
for fruit to survive this temperature
is difficult to determine. The one
unsettled question in this whole
perature business is the effect
moisture has on the killing of the
buds. In other words just how
much cold buds and blossoms will
will endure at this altitude and where
moisture is as near to being a minus
quantity as is the case here the great
err part of the time This is ques-
ton which will be determined when
data has been made available
through years of observation by ex-
perts.
Low Temperatures Local
Messrs. w. l. Huxtabe, Peter Bach.
j. e. Shannon and others who should
know, admitted last evening that the
peach prospect was mighty poor
on5. other people admitted as much
for pears. The truth as near as
Inspector T. O Morrison was able to
arrive at It, was that the cold was To-
cal and that those who admitted
loss were correct while those who de-
MED any damage were also correct,
their orchards not having been struck
by the extreme low temperature.
AS heavy frost and a temperature
of % degrees were forecast for last
night there will be an opportunity
today for still further speculation.
