SMALL VIAL and HAND.
KERCH|EF ARE CLEWS
Chemist Examines Clews On Ohio
Farm To Investigate Kentucky
Mountain Girls Murder.

Middletown, Ohio, July 13.-Police
turned over to chemist for examina-
ton today a small vial containing sew
eral pellets and handkerchief, which
they believe is bloodstained, found on
the Mueller farm late yesterday. A
squad of police dug in several places
on the farm in the hope of finding the
body of Laura Fletcher, IS, believed
murdered. A bloody skirt and wom-
ans shoe were found last week
The vial and handkerchief were found
beneath a bush where, police say, the
ground appears sunken and may pos
sibly be grave. They. expect to dig
there some time today.
According to Edward Chamberlain,
who lived on the Mueller farm in De-
cember and who now is being held in
Jail at Portsmouth, Ohio, on theft
charge, Laura Fletcher left his home
in November for Cincinnati.
He said. he talked with the girl in
January at her home in Frozen Creek,
near Jackson, Ky.
Frozen Creek is far back in the
Kentucky hills and so far authorities
investigating the girls disappearance
have been unable to communicate with
the girls family.
Police Chief Byrd, Middletown, says
if he cannot get word from the girls
family he will take enough men to the
farm to turn over every foot of
ground on the farm.

JESSAMINE MAN
IS KILLED IN field
Robert Lunsford Gives Himself Up 10
Sheriff, After Shooting Brown
Jasper Through Heart.

Lancaster, KY, July 10, - Brown
Jasper, 20, Of Jessamine county, was
shot and killed Tuesday afternoon by
Robert Lunsford, "a, while the two
men were working alone in hay field
on the farm of Charles Dietrich, in the
northern part of the county. After the
shooting Lunsford went to Bryants-
vile, informed relatives of his act, and
gave himself up later to Sheriff Arch
Walker Of Garrard county.
Lunsford said that the trouble arose
when Jasper accused him Of being a
thief, and threatened him with pis-
toll, claiming that he shot Jasper in
self-defense. Only one shot was fired,
and that pierced the heart Of the. vic
tim. Further than this Lunsford re-
fuses to discuss the tragedy.
The only witness of the shooting
was an 1S-year-old son Of Charles
Dietrich, owner of the farm, who was
in nearby field Young Dietrich said
that he was so far away from the two
men that he would make no statement
concerning the shooting.
Jasper was single and lived with
his widowed mother in Jessamine
county. Lunsford is a farmer and
lives in the northern part Of Garrard
county.

HERBS USED IN MEDICINES.

In the United States they have also
gone out of fashion as a feature of the
small garden, although they are i'm
ported in large quantities from Tur-
key, India and China, where they are
grown purely for commercial purposes
as their medicinal value is recognized
by many leading physicians. Tons of
medicinal herbs are used annually in

The Exchange is vitality concerned
because Of the encouragement such

movement for better bred and more
livestock which the Exchange, the Uni
versity of Kentucky College of agri-
culture, the Kentucky Purebred Live
stock Association and the United
State Department Of Agriculture are
promoting.
Particularly does this report apply
to the better grade sheep campaign
and as effecting the Farmers Better
Sire Sale of 200 pure bred bucks and
ewes and 1000 high grade ewes to be
held at the Bourbon Stock Yards Aug
ust II under the sanction andapproval
Of those mentioned above.
Decided improvement in prices is
indicated, the Exchange says, if the
farmers will offer quality animals on
the market, for quality pays even
when trade is dull. Breeding Of better
grade sheep will bring a big return
experts of the University Of Kentucky
College of Agriculture declare in sup
port of the statement by the Exchange.
With the selection of the proper |
market and study Of its price move
