DR.. W. A. NIXON ARRESTED
Great Bend Physician Is Held Pend
ing Action of Supreme Court.

wichita. June 23.-Dr. w. A. Nixon,
Great Bend physician under life SEN
tence for first degree murder in con-
nection with the Staying of Arthur
c. Banta. Great Bend attorney and
son of the district judge, on the night
of last July 6. was arrested and con-
fined in the Barton county Jail today
under orders of the Kansas supreme
court, according to a telephone mes
ge received here by E. E. Fitzpat-
rick, deputy fire marshal. Doctor
Nixon had been at liberty on bond,
pending appeal to the supreme court
Action of the supreme court in the
Nixon case is in keeping with policy
established several years ago. AS soon
as an affirmative decision is agreed
upon in an appeal in a first degree
murder case the court orders the de-
fendant committed to the county Jail
This policy was followed by the
court recently when it affirmed the
Rufe King verdict in the famous
Maple murder farm case Similar ac-
tion has been taken in other appeals.
The old policy of announcing a de-
cision before taking a defen dant into
custody has had several unfortunate
results in Kansas Don >. Van Wo-

county sheriff a few years ago, could

bondsmen paid $4,000 bond, but
Van Womer was never delivered at
the state prison. In another case a
defendant committed suicide when
he learned that he was TO serve a life
sentence for murder.
1t is probable that an early special
opinion will be handed down in the
Nixon case. Doctor Nixon was con-
victed of the killing of Arthur c..
Banta. lawyer and son of District
Judge D. A. Banta. Conviction came
when an accomplice in the case turned

HAGEN WINS OPEN WHEAT IS BETTER
Yield Estimated at 117,215,OOO
Bushels by Secretary MOhIer.
Kansas VIII Harvest Total of
9,O5S,362 Acres This Year.

Returns from assessors showing
9,05S.362 acres of wheat will be har-
vested in Kansas this year caused an
increase in the production estimates
of the state board of agriculture to
cover new acrea ges. ]. c. Mohler,
secretary of the board, estimates a.
yield of 117,215.000 bushels. The
Kansas crop will average 1895 BUSH
els to the acre.
Very little damage has been done
to the wheat crop as a result of the
excessive heat and dry weather. Most
of the damage has been in southeast
The harvest is under full head of
steam, the report shows. The acreage
being harvested is the fourth largest
the state has known.
Biggest Crop in Sedgwick.
Sedgwick county will probably pro-
duce the biggest wheat crop. Its
yield is estimated at 4,396,SS2. Nc
Pherson is second with a proba BILE
crop of 3,72S,OS3. Sumner follows
with 3,69O,O96 and Reno, Dickinson,
Barton and Rice counties in their
order.
The report shows 5,012,563 acres of
corn and a growing condition of S2.S
as against S5.7 per cent a year ago.
The acreage is 13.4 per cent greater
than last year, but 9.9 per cent below
the five year average.
Green Bugs Damage Corn.
Central and southwestern counties
in number of instances report dam
ages from green bugs, chinch bugs
and cut worms. The big northern
counties, tho, show conditions above
80 per cent.
The barley crop-is estimated at a.
000,0O bushels and is the largest fhe
state ever produced. A yield of a.
100000 bushels of oats is indicated
Sorghum conditions are S4.7 per cen.
and acreages are Z per cent greater
than in 1921.
A condition of 1873 is given for the
potato crop in Kansas. The potatoes
are in need of moisture.
First alfalfa cuttings produced
1,1S4,000 tons of hay. The crop was
greater than the first cutting a year
ago, altho the acreage this year is
smaller. The prairie hay crop will
probably total $4,000 tons.

Newspaper BOOtleggers
CBy the Associated Press.D

Herrin. June 23.-The Williamson
county mine war has produced a new
type of bootlegger-the newspaper
bootlegger.
Local news stands were informed
lats. last night that If they sold any
out of town papers containing ac-
counts of the fighting they would be
treated roughly
The news stands promptly closed
up; local papers publish comparative
ly small accounts and, in fact. no
where in the country is less news of
the massa ere published than right
here, five miles from the scene of it.
Occasionally a person can slip in
the back way to a news stand-just as
if he were seeking a drink, and by
whispering softly to the vendor re-
ceive little package which is hastily
slipped into ones pocket. Unfolded, it
is that much sought possession-an
out of town paper with a complete
story of the trouble here
Needless to say the prices have
risen in accordance with the law of
supply and demand and real bootleg
gers figures are asked.
