To prevent the cutworms from cut

Where there are a great number Of

In this case, the better plan is to
scatter the bait few days before the

be killed by scattering the bait among

REOPEN INQUEST;
DOCTORS ARE AGREED
Hold That Wound in Eldest
Victims Head Was Sus-
tanned Before Death

Fessenden, n. D.. June f.-Re-eg-
tablishment of the theory that four
children whose charred remains were
found in the burned cook car on the
Jeske farm near Cathay, several days
ago, were murdered, and their remains
burned to cover the crime. has resulted
in the calling of a Burns detective to
the field, and the reopening of the in
quest, three physicians giving expert
testimony to the effect that the wound,
found in the head of the Oldest death
victim was inflicted prior to death.
The bodies of the four children
were found in the ruins of the cook
car in the morning, the parents having
been absent since the evening prior to
their death.
States Attorney Layne, who at first
questioned the accuracy Of the coron-
er's jury finding, which held that death
was by murder, has called detective
to aid in ferreting out the details Of
the case.
Four physicians have now given
testimony to the effect that the frac-
tured skull of the oldest victim, girl,
was the result Of q blow, and addi-
tional details uncovered lend strength
to the murder theory.
