Auburn. July 7.--Peter Michelich
and George Steifin are coal miners
and "buddies."
Meeting on q Sunday afternoon they
sOlaced ons another over the cup that

py party. The merrymalking strung
out until late In the evening.
Then q difference Of opinion arose
between Nichelich and Steffin.
A club was raised. Welded by
Steffin It crashed down on the head
Of Michelich. Michelich dropped to
the noOr unconscious, his head bat
tered In.
Bystanders interfered. A free for
all fight ensued. In the melee Stef-
fin took opportunity for escape. He
secreted himself in q dingy shack he
called home. Deputy Sheriffs found
him there.
But Steffin refused to surrender.
Crazed, he finally burst from the
shack. Shouting wildly he waved a
double-edged axe above his head. Told
to drop It as he advanced toward the
sheriffs in q maddened dash for liber-
ty he declined. A bullet fired from a
revolver by Andrew Sloan, City Mar
shal, stopped him. 1t struck Steffin
in the head and he fell mOrtally
wounded.
Death ended the jOyOusness when
Michelich and Steffin succumbed to
their injuries in a hospital at Spring

tragedies.

PISw Wheat Siubbls lmmsdisiily hIla
Harvest To Stop Hsssisn Fly IniscIIln

Manhattan, Kan, July 5.-0ver
practically the entire eastern half Of
Kansas, and also In some Of the wheat
producing countries in the western
half of the state, there Is such q
thorough distribution of Hessian Fly
that It is a source Of great danger and
Is almost certain to seriously injure
next years wheat crop unless meas
ures. are taken to control 1t, accord
ing to Prof. George A. Dean Of the
Chronology department Of the Kansas
State Agricultural College.
The Hesslan fly is now in the fax
seed stage in tie stubble. II infested
with the fly, the stubble when exam
ined, will show little brown, flaxseed-
like objects, found just above the
crown, or at the roots Of the plant,
between the leaf sheath and the stalk.
During the latter part Of August, and
all through September, and IN some
parts of the state even the first ten
days of October, adult flies will
emerge from the flaxseeds and each
female may deposit from one hundred
to three hundred eggs in the groves
along the upper surface Of the wheat
leaves.
The infestation in the fall wheat
comes from two sourcesAthe stubble
Of the previous crop, and volunteer
wheat.
Plow deeply all wheat stubble as
soon as this years crop is harvested.
To prevent the fly from emerging, the
plowing should be finished not later
than August 18TH,
II blowing can not be done soon af-
ter harvest, disk the stubble as early
as possible after harvest. This not
only conserves the moisture and
makes plowing easier, but also starts
the growth Of volunteer wheat and
has tendency to bring about an early
emergence Of the fly. In many cases

The AgrOnOmy Department Of u

in the season..

The signing of the peace treaty
makes June 20 one Of the great land
marks of world history. Generations
win analyize and study the terms Of
peace then assented TO.
The peace conference Of 1919 has
been bitterly assailed for its alleged
departure from the famous II points
OF President Wilson, upon which the
peace was supposed to be based. Ye.
It must be considered how terribly
difficult n problem was constituted by
the inextricable melange Of races In
Europe. A literal application Of sch
determination would create nations
with no sound economic foundation,
and would split up Europe into minute
fragments incapable of Independent
existence.
While mistakes may have been
made here and there on boundary
lines, never before was there such
anxious care to give each race and
people a government of its own choice,
and to assure that government a
sound economic basis. To American
minds, the principal regret will be
that 1t was not possible to secure some
Of elf-determination for
Ireland.
The American people will carry out
the terms with the utmost fidelity.

KILLED HER
BECAUSE HE LOVED HER

Los Angeles, CAL, July 6.-T killed
her because loved her, and she would
not marry me, as she promised. ! love
her still, and am ready to die for my
act, because / want to 60 to her."
Lying on a cot in the city Jail to-
night, Harry s. New, Of Glendale, who
said he was the son Of United States
Sen. Harry s. New, OF Indiana, thus
concluded an account Of the killing Of
Miss Frieda Lesser, his fiancee, at q
lonely spot in Topanga canyon, about
twenty-five miles northwest Of here,
early Saturday.
Showed No RemOrse
Calmly and without apparent re-
morse, New reviewed in detail to
newspaper men and police officers his
actions, which included his driving 10
the central police station with his
fiancee's body in the rear seat, and
surrendering. He is 30 years old.
Thought Over Surrender
He said he had borrowed the auto
mobile from his mother, Mrs. John
M. Burger, Of Glendale. He told the
officers, they said, that for three
hours after the shooting he drove
around town, trying to make up his
mind to surrender.
Inside the police station New told
detectives that he and Miss Lesser had
left last night for a ride thru TOpango
canyon. At a spot where the, road was
darkest he stopped the car and soon
asked Miss Lesser to become his wife.
She refused.
An argument followed, New said,
and in a fit of temper, he told the pO-
lice, he shot the girl whom he sought
to make his wife.
Realizing that he had killed his
sweetheart, New said he moved the
body from the seat beside him where
she had died, placed it in the back Of
the car, carefully covered it with a
robe and drove with all speed down
the miles Of dark road, thru fitting
shadows from the moonlight, to Los
Angeles, where he gave himself up
to the police. He reached the police
station just before daylight.
Girl Was 20 Years Old
Miss Lesser was a beautiful brunette,
with luxurious dark brown hair.
New declared to police and news
papermen that he had planned to
marry Miss Lesser tonight and had
made all arrangements for a wedding
trip to Fresno, Cal.
Last night, he said, Miss Lesser con-
fided to him that she could not marry |
him now on account of her condition
and that she was going to undergo an
operation.
Reflected on Honor
New asserted the operation would |
have been q reflection upon the honor |
Of the girl he loved and that he could |

would see her dead, and he shot her.

John Bagley Wins

Endurance Contest

In the most gruelling endurance
contest ever staged by the Omaha
Motorcycle club, John Bagley won
first place by checking in at FIRE.
mont, Columbus, Grand Island and
Omaha without being one minute off
schedule at all checking points.
Otto Ramer on a Harley David
son, Sport Model, won second place,
with Warren Erickson, Carl Peder-
sen and Charlie Howes, third, fourth
and fifth respectively, all mounted
on Harley Davidsons. Ed Hall on
an Indian was sixth.
The thrilling spills in the mud for
the daring riders were numerous, as
the schedule was at Omaha at 5
a. m. to Grand Island and return by
6 p. m., a distance of 800 miles, made
fast riding necessity.
! This was the fifth annual endur-
ance run of the Omaha Motorcycle
club and was hotly contested. There
were eighteen entries and all sea-
soned riders mounted on their favor
ite machines. Otto Ramer, an old
local favorite, who was mounted on
a new model Harley-Davidson which
is known as the Sport Model and is
100 pounds lighter than the ordinary
motorcycle, sprung the surprise of
the day, as all old riders predicted
that it was impossible for a lighter
machine to withstand such trip
through mud which in some places
was covered by water 10 inches deep.
Ramer was close contender for
first place, but a spill broke a con-
troll, necessitating a delay Of 20 min
utes. Carl Petersen, known the
Flying .Swede," was another favor
lite and but for sliding off a bridge
which required Commute delay to
extricate his mount from the mud
would also have given the winner
harder run to win.
