Sweet Preliminary Held

The preliminary trial of Archie
Sweet, who is held for the murder of
Miss Byers near Moscow, was held on
the open prairies one night this week.
About twenty automobiles were park
ed in circle and the justice read the
riot act to him by the aid of the auto
lights. Sweet waived trial and was
forthwith taken to the Dodge City
jail to await the action of the dis
trict court. He swears he isinnocent
but also hopes the mob will merci-
fully lynch him before making him
serve term in the penitentiary, if
the jury finds him guilty. He has
been given "silent treatment" for a

Thousands Lose Their Sight in
European Conflict.
Many Cases Are Reported Among
Hungarian Soldiers Back From the
Front-SpeciaIist Plan Home
for Victims.

Budapest.-A few days ago the
newspapers reported that Michael
Chomsa, a Hungarian soldier patient
at the Budapest hospital, had lost his
eyesight, and they started a collec-
ton for him, the Poster Lloyd alone
raising $4,000 kronen (s5,600) within
two days. Michael Chomsa's misfor-
tune was looked upon as exceptional,
and it was considered a public duty to
provide for his future.
But the publicity given to this sol
dier's blindness brought out the fact
that there were many other similar
cases. In the opinion of physicians
there will be in hungary alone several
thousand such victims of the war if
the fighting is to continue much
longer.
1t is a disheartenfng spectacle to
look upon these blind soldiers at the
hospital. One sees many wounded,
disf1gured, ulcerating eyes. Some of
these eyes have sunk far into their
sockets. Others show the upper, trans
parent part of the eyeball sprinkled
with white, cleaning grains of sand,
whirled there by a bursting shrapnel
she'll. Two otherwise healthy eyes
blink and culver increasingly, the
nervous system of the man having
been shattered by an exploding bomb.
Another soldier has his eyelids SEEM
ingly grown together, they having lost
their power to open and to close.
Opened, they disclose empty cavities
One of the blind soldiers wears the
silver cross for bravery. Though
wounded he returned to the firing line
in order to carry away his seriously
wounded lieutenant While doing this
he was hit by another bullet, which
destroyed his eyesight.
1t is remarkable that most of these
sufferers lost their vision in the same
peculiar manner. The bullet entered
the cheek and bored its way upward,
emerging on the opposite side by way
of the eyesocket, after smashing the
eyeball and destroying the optic
nerve. At times the bullets path was

QUAIL THRESH WHEAT CROP
Pennsylvania Farmer Tells How the
Birds Get Enough to
Eat

Ebensburg, Pa.-John Newton, a
farmer living at Munday's, near Eb-
ensburg, tells a remarkable story of
the sagacity of a flock of quail.
Following the instructions of Doc
tor Kalbfus, Newton has been placing
grain in his barnyard for the benefit
of the birds. Apparently the amount
was not sufficient to satisfy the needs
of a flock of quail, which fed at the
farm daily. Inside the barn was a
quantity of unthreshed wheat, the
heads of which are closed tightly.
Other birds pecked at these heads
unsuccessfully, but the quail solved
the difficulty.
According to Newton, wise old
quail flew out of the barn on Sunday
with stalk of wheat in it's beak. Lead
ing into the barn is a wooden bridge
The quail stuck the lower part of the
stalk through a crack in the bridge.
Three quail seized it on the other
side and tugged away Justify. The
stalk was stripped clean. Newton
says the quail took turns carrying
out wheat and threshing it until all
were satisfied; and that since they
have repeated the performance daily.

SOLVES TRAMP EVIL

police. sheriffs, constables, town mar
shals, chief special agents of railways
and other peace officers of the coun-
try, quick in recognizing the effective
ness of the proposed federal trespass
law as crime dimiDisher, are bend
ing their efforts 10 get congress to
pass the measure at the present ses-
sion. At last, these men declare,
there has been discovered the real so
luton Of the hobo problem. The tres
pass act is federal measure. carry

No community will tolerate them as
Migrants; consequently they will have

The agitation of the federal tres

conference of the United States gov
ernment's industrial commission held
in Kansas City. Among the men in
vited to appear before this commits
sion and give views calculated to bet
ter the conditions of industrial life in
the country was Al G. Ray, chief spe-
cial agent of the Great Northern rail
way, st. Paul. Ray outlined to the
commission the federal trespass law
as the only real simon-pure remedy for
the tramp evil. He announced that
he advocated this measure after %
years of police work. He said he had
studied similar systems in countries
of the old world and they worked eff
fectively. In those countries, he said,
especially England and Germany, the
traveller never sees a tramp on the
right of way of railway.
Ray told the commission that he is

CHAPTER I-Continued.

1t was an awful and terrifying

ing loudly, she left her window and
ran into Judge Ostranders presence,
and, gazing wildly about, wormed her
way toward a heavily carved screen
guarding a distant corner and covered
down behind it.
The gasping, struggling men, the
frantic negro, were in the next room
uOw-she could catch the sound of the
iatter's painting breath rising above
the clamor of strange entreaties and
excited cries with which the air was
full; then a quick, hoarse shout Of

and she became conscious of the pres

the negroes eyes-then-a growl of

she must suffer it would be simply

What was this goal? AS abe felt

DELUGE BEFORE MANS FALL
Sumerian Inscription Reverses the
Accepted Order of Bible
Narrative.

According to a translation of re-
Gently deciphered inscription on one
of the Sumerian tablets Professor
Langdon of Jesus college, Oxford, says
the deluge preceded the fall Of man,
according to the Scientific American.
The tablet, which has been almost
completely restored, contains six fine
ly written columns of about two hun
dred and forty lines, most of which
are intact II begins by describing
the land of pTimeval bliss, which it
locates at Dilmun, an island in the
Persian gulf. In this paradise dwelt
mankind, whom Nintud, the greatness,
with the help of EMIL had created.
After the deluge this king is called
Tagtug, the divine. And this Tagtug
lives in garden. is himself garden
er, and the wise Enki reveals unto him
wisdom. The Greek historians, too,
preserve this legend in the story of
Cannes, who rose from the Persian
gulf to teach men wisdom in primeval
