{ One version of the shooting told the
police yesterday by friends of the
Garvey family. involved the elder
GarVeys reputed hasty temper, and
Mrs. Groh. The statement was that
Mrs, Groh was whistling or humming
at her work. and was reprimanded by
Garvsy and then discharged. The
younger GarVey entered as she was
leaving the office, and learning the
cause, went to his fathers private
office, where the shooting occurred.

Mrs. Groh declared she had heard
the angry voices, but did not know the

after Roy Garvey was arraigned late
yesterday, and held without bond on

is HOTTEST SEPTEMBER
Pastures Badly Burned. Except
in Extreme Western Counties,
Says Report. From the weather
Bureau.
(By s, D. Flora. Meteorologist.)

Some Of the hottest September
weather on record prevailed over
Kansas this week according to the re-
ports of weather bureau correspon-
dents from various parts of the state.
The dry weathe.. was broken in the
lower Kaw Valley by splendid rains
Saturday night and relieved elsewhere
in the northeast section,-and a few
south-ceEtral counties but fully two
thirds of the state, comprising the
southern. central and western coun-
ties. is still in the grip of a severe
drought. Temperatures during the
week were above 100 degrees on one
or more days in almost every county
and ranged from los degrees to no
degrees in many places. n
Corn has matured rapidly and in
the central and eastern section is
nearly all ready to cut, except in the
better watered low lands Late corn
has been hurt badly and early corr
has dried up so fast that much of it
is chaffy Cutting for silos and shocks
has been pushed rapidly this week in
the eastern two-thirds of the state and
is well along towards completion. In
some fields corn is already too dry
to cut.
: The ground is breaking up hard and
cloddy except where rains fell this
week. The bulk of the blowing Is
done, however. Sowing wheat has be-
gun IN the extreme western counties
and will start as far east as the mid
die of the state as soon as sufficient
moisture falls.
Pastures are badly burned and dried
up, except in the extreme western
counties. but are reyiEing where the
rains fell this week. The fourth cut
ting of alfalfa is making a poor
growth. In fact in sonne OF the drouth
stricken north-central counties the
third crop has not been cut. The Kaw
Valley is an exception to the rule,
however, and alfalfa there is doing
nicely. r~
Grain sorghums have been hurt by
the dry weather, but the damage to
them is not serious, except in the
north central counties, and with rain
soon they will start growing again.
