DENVER, Dec. 29.-The bodies Of
Louis and Frank Merrick, the Ameri-

have been searching for the past four
teen days. were found this morning at
O'Clock in room No. 3, Entry L., off
the first southwest entry OF the Ley
den mine. The bodies are in an ad-
ynnced stage OF decomposition.
The place where the victims Of the
mine fire were found had already been
explored by the helmet men during
the first few days after the disaster.
The bodies Of the Merrick boys were
lying side by side, face downward.
That they had struggled for their lives
is evidenced by the fact that they had
started to erect brattic work at the
extreme end Of room No. 3. Before
they had finished the frame work,
however. the fumes from the burning
mine overcome them.
Even though they must have known
that their chances for life were prac-
tically hopeless. the two men had Gov
cred their faces with their hands,
showing that their presence of mind
had never left them.

Fer some years oatalpa. mulberry and
other trees commonly grown have sui-er-
ed considerable injury By the attacks of
field mice. These rodents gnaw the bark
about tha base OF the trees to a greater
or less degree, which frequently results
in a complete girdle. When girdling oc-
ours below the root crown the trees
usually die.
There are no practical means of etxer-
minating field mice, although certain or
erations are helpful in preventing their
tttacks on trees. IT has been observed
that injury is greater and more general
where dead grass. mulch. or debris OF
any kind lies close to the trees. Material
of this nature affords haraoFinz place,
from under which cover mice prefer 10
operate. AL grass or mulch material Of
any kind should be raked Iway from the
trees for a radius of at least two foet,
leaving the ground as hare as possible.
Where mulch culture is used foot on
two about tree should be left bare Injury
Is mere severe on those trees whose root
systems set high on the ground. Such
trees afford cavities In which mice har-
hoF aud complete girdling uually results
fatally If below the point where root
and stem join Throwing few shovel
fuIs of dirt about the trees has given
satisfactory results.
Trees which have been more than hisii
