According to information received
after the man hunt. Bailey came to
this city about 3 o'clock Saturday
from Colorado Springs. He went to
the store OF G. Nj. Hooper. where he
remained for about half an hour.
While there he purchased writing
material and sat down to a desk and
wrote two letters. He later purchas-
ed stamps and went out.
Sunday morning when Mr.. Hooper
was at his store and reading OF the
stories in the newspapers he had oc-
casion to look under his desk. Here
he discovered several etters and pa
pers. On examining them he found
that they had ben left by Ballew. One
letter was addressed to George Bal
lew and was from +. +. Bolan, secre-
tary OF the Colorado Sportsmen as

bills from South Platte were also in
cluded in the find. These all tended
to a positive identification of the des-
perado.

bandits career:

he had been robbed of his girl wife.

DEATH TO ALKALI BUG
Chester johnson, the Chicken Fan
cier, Finds Remedy for Pest

To the Enterprise Chester Johnson on
Monday outlined plan that he is conf
dent will rid this vicinity OF the French
beetle or alkali bug that has recently
been devastating the beet fields. and we
pass it on to our readers that they may
give it try out.
After several attempts with spraying
and poisoning to stop the ravages of the
pest on a promising field of beets on his
farm southeast of town, without any
apparent decrease of the bugs. Mr..
johnson one day last week decided to
try plan of his own. So he rigged up
a small chicken house on sled and one
morning last week loaded flock of go
white leghorn chickens into the coop and
hauled it out into the beet field and turn
ed the young fowl loose to feed. In the
evening he killed one of the chickens and
by actual count found 49l bugs in its
crop, together with mass of larvae and
partially digested beetles that would
easily bring the number killed by this one
chicken up to 600 for the day. and multi
plying this by the number of chicks he
had at work will give close estimate
of the number of bugs less in Mr.. 10 hn-,
sons field per day while the supply lasts.
Mr.. johnson says that he moves the
coop about 100 yards each day until he
has almost cleared his l2-acre beet field
of the bugs and his chickens have waxed
tat in the process, SO ne advises anyone
who is IN search of bug eliminator and
good chicken food to give his plan trial.
