NUMBER A.
Cream Seperators

A few years ago cream separa-
tors were new thing and were
regarded somewhat as luxury;
now, seldom do you find farm
a part of which equipment is not
to be found a cream separator.
With their increasing numb Der
has followed the increase in the
number of milk cows kept on the
farm, and an increase in the value
of milk and butter. Last March
the census enumerators were
asked to list all cream separators
and the record made was re.
marka BILE. In Kansas there are
7O,259, representing an invest
ment of five million dollars. The
census also shows 961,281 milk
COWS in the state.
In Meade County there are 314
separators and 9,176 milk cows.

MYSTERY is
UNSOLVED
Grant County Officials Still
Working on Byers Case

ing of particular interest has
transpired in the Grant County
murder mystery, As,was stat
ed last week, the Hensons were
\ placed under arrest, but since
that time Jared HensonNand his
'son, Alva, have been released.
Clint, Henson a nephew of Jared
Henson, was taken to the Ford
county Jail for safe keeping.
An impression taken of the
teeth prints on the girls body
correspond to the plaster paris
impression made of Clint Hen
sons teeth. In a statement
made by Archie Sweet, also held
in the Ford County Jail on the
same charge. Sweet says that
Clint Henson told him that he
[Henson] had killed Miss Byers,
but that it looked bad for him
[Sweetl
]. D. Wilkerson, the Burns
detective hired in the case, does
not believe that Sweet is guilty,
but says that evidence points to
Henson. 1t was on account of
this opinion that he and the
Grant County officials had dis
agreement and Wilkerson was
discharged from the case. 1t
appears that the people of Grant
County believe Sweet to be the
guilty man, even though as bit
w bit new light Is-tbrown on the
Z case it becomes evident that.
more than one took part in the.
| awful crime.
Parties who we're present
when the body was found say
rthat 1t was not yet cold, which
proves one of two facts: Miss
Byers was eitbe left UNCONSCIOUS
by her assailant or assailants,
and died from exposure, or she
was not killed until early in the
morning OF the day the body
+ was found.
Earlier in the week it was re-
J ported that Clint Henson had
! been released upon orders from
the Grant county authorities.
: The fact is that such an order
was received, but before Hen
son was released another order
was received advising that he be
held until Grant county authori-
ties could arrive in Dodge City
and make further investigation.
Up to this time he is in Jail.
4 Abe Hanson, former inmate
Ef the Meade county jail, and
Z who appeared in Meade the next
day after the murder, with blood
on his elothing, and fresh scrat-
ches on his face, and who was
arrested at Enid, Oklahoma last
Thursday, charged with beleg
implicated in the crime, seems
to have vanished. 1t Is suppos
ed, however, that he IS being
held and will be called upon TO
prove his wherea bouts the day
of the crime, when the proper
time comes.
The crime is one of the worst
on record, and 1t is believed by
many that gang, rather than
one man, took part in it.
Dodge City Nov 4--Deputy
Sheriff Mccall, of Grant county
says he believes Abe Hanson, are
rested at Enid, Oklahoma has
been released.
Clint Henson of Grant county
who has been held in connection
with the murder. has been re.
leased. Eleven witnesses have
teeti6ed that he was at the Lini-
n farm, six miles from the
school lihOasssall thea fternoon of
the. day the crime was comItted,
