The Nellie Byers Case

Topeka, Jan. 25,-Dr. E. H.
Ballou, the Dodge City dentist,
displayed his collection of teeth,
teeth marks, and other exhibits
III the Byers murder case to S.
M. Brewster, attorney general,
this morning. He had made q
set of teeth, mounted, for both
Archibald Sweet and Clint Hen
son. Then there was little
oval-sbaped drumhead, on which
he has drawn picture of teeth
marks on the body of Nellie By
ers, the murdered school teach
er. There are also a dozen wax
records, repllcas of the teeth
marks on the body, and those
made on wax by Sweet and Hen.
son.
Teeth marks on body are
not reliable" DR., Ballou explain
ed again TO Brewster. Look
here" He took the little drum
head and stretched it. The po.
sition of the teeth marks was all
distorted. Alter the marks
were made on d human body, he
explained, the flesh straightens
ont and does not give an accurate
replica Of the marks made.
Summed up, however, and ad-
hitting that the teeth marks on
( the body Of the girl might be
used as evidence. DR.. Ballou
sized the situation up as follows:
The teeth marks could have
been made by Henson.
Henson has an alibi to prove
be wasn't there when the D7dr-
der was com pitted.
The teeth marks could not
have been made by Archie Sweet.
Sweet has admitted that ne
was in the neighborhood when
the crime was com mitted.
Measurements of footprints
coincide with measurements OF
Sweets shoes. Sweet says Hen
son wore pair of his (Sweet's)
shoes that day. There you are.
The case against Sweet, charged
with murder. IS set for the April
term of the Grant county district
court. Nellie Byers was murder
led October p, and there is fear
that Sweet may be lynched If
taken to Grant county for trial.

MOles eat worms, not corn,
according to DIR. r. K. Nabours,
zoologist of the Kansas State
Agricultural college. Because
mOles make their runs along
rows OF freshly planted corn
and then the corn fails to come
up, it is the com mon belief that
the moles have eaten ii and are
therefore responsible for the
poor stand of corn. The imme-
diate responsibility, Doctor Ma
bours points out, rests on the
the mole's guests-meadow mice
white footed field mice, and COM
mon house mice, The mole runs
furnish concealment acd lines 0f
ira ftic Tor these small animals
which cannot dig runways of
their own. 1t has been found by
experiment that moles cat earth
worms, grubs, insects, and other
animal life but vegetable matter
scarcely at all. TO avoid the
damage il is easier to kill the
moles than the mice, and thus
destroy the hnes OF traffic.
Trapping is the best means of
extermlnation. Additional in
formation is obtainable from the
zoology department Of the col
lege.

on IT'S tons at $l4 per ton which we're
shipped in bulk to the dryer on &C.
count of the paralyzed green fruit
market.
This year the crop was lighter than
usual due, no doubt, to the cool
weather this spring, although all fruit
that matured is extra good in quality.
A normal crop here would be 200 tons.
C. j. Sinsel, of Boise, Idaho, who
had charge of the packing of the crop,
stated upon leaving Tuesday night that
he was we'll pleased with the local crop
and situation in general and was SO
| positive in his statements that he
declared that the local association
might just as we'll reserve the crop for
next year for he intended to buy it.
All local help was employed in pack
ing the prune crop and $675 has been
disbursed among those who assisted in
this work.
