WOMAN II FILES FINAL
PROOF ON HOMESTEAD

CARR, Colo, July 1O.-When one
has toiled for three years in order
to obtain sustenance from dry land;
when one has worked day after day
to make necessary improvements, the
time of the fulfillment of dreams is
one of rejoicing. And such it was
for Mrs. Maria l.. Sweet, II, the old
est homesteader in Weld county when
she went to Greeley Eecently and
presented her papers Of final proof on
100 acres of homestead land three
miles east of Carr. Mrs. Sweet is
from Denver. She is highly enthus-
iastic concerning the future and ex-
poets to harvest large yield from
her winter wheat crop this summer.
Her advice, however, for women of
her age, is to keep off dry farming
land and not to undertake so great
burden.

NEW CASTLE, Ind, July TO-
Charged with conspiracy to murder
and burn the body of Catherine Win
ters, missing 10-year-old girl in one
of the country's most puzzling dis
appearance mysteries, DIR. w. A. Win
ters, her father; Mrs. Winters and w
r. Cooper, a former roomer at the
Winters home, were to be placed on
trial today before Circuit Judge Jack
son.
The charges grow out of an inves-
tigation made here several weeks ago
by Robert Abel, an indianapolis pri-
vate detective, who subsequently
withdrew from the case. The three
defendants expressed confidence be-
for court opened today that Abel
would not appear to press the case
and they were certain that they
would be discharged.
The arrests created sensation here
several weeks ago. The whole coun-
try had been combed in the search
for the little girl who vanished fif-
teen months ago; when Abel burst
into the limelight with his charge that
DR.. Winters, his wife and the roomer,
Cooper, knew that little Catherine
Winters had been killed and her body
disposed of.
Abel based his case on the discov-
cry of a small red sweater, a girls
hair ribbon and mans shirt in the
basement of the Winters home. H
declared that a chemists analysis
would show traces of human blood on
the shirt. Mrs. Winters had a plausi-
BILE explanation for the presence of
the articles of wearing apparel in the
basement, but Abel pressed his accu-
sations and finally caused the arrest
of the trio. Each of the three de-
PENDANTS has been at liberty under
$1,000 bond. Abel promised at Indian
apolis two weeks ago that he would
appear here to press the case.
