eve assisted the fair association
in arranging for the county fair, also
gathered exhibits from the farmers
for display at the state fair. Our state
fair exhibit was the best ever sent
from Cochise county. Forty-four
farmers exhibited 107 varieties and
1874 exhibits. We were awarded q
first premiums, 16 second premiums
2 sweepstakes and two awards Tor
our booth The chamber of commerce
of Bisbee and Wilcox both contribute
ed toward the financing of our booth
at the state fair.
"a great deal Of time and energy
was spent in trying to induce the local
farmers to exhibit, most of them feel
ing, perhaps, that the Sulphur Springs
valley could not make a showing
against the Salt River valley and
Casa Grande valley. We believe the
splendid showing we made with a
small space and with exhibits that
were not properly prepared in many
cases has opened the eyes of even
the most pessimistic and that next
year the farmer will be taking the
initiative and asking to be permitted
to exhibit rather than feeling that
he has done us a favor by providing
the exhibit. We have shown that
the Sulphur Springs valley and Co.
chise county are just as fertile and
can produce products second to none
in the state.

Irene Meyer, "a, of Terre Haute
held here in connection with the
murder of Mrs. Myrtle Miller, So
today will visit the spot on lonely
road near Newcastle where the body
was found Saturday morning.
Mrs. Meyer requested the trip
Wednesday night after accusing
Charles Beasley, "a, also of Terre
Haute, of being alone with Mrs.
Miller Friday night on the road.
In 1000 word confession, Mrs.
Meyer said Mrs. Miller, Beasley
and Homer Patterson, Terre Haute,

buying liquor near here, the party
started toward Newcastle, she said.
"Beasley ordered Patterson and
me out of the car, saying that he
wanted to be alone with Mrs. Mil
ler," her statement said. "They
drove down the road and out of
sight.
HE was gone fifteen minutes.
maybe longer, then came back and
picked us up. He was alone and got
out of the front seat" the woman's
confession reads.
Mrs. Meyer said when she inquired
about Mrs. Miller, Beasley replied
that they had had a fuss and that
she went ION to a friends"
There is no use in going back
for her. She said to tell you kids
good-by and she would meet you in
Terre Haute on her brothers BIRTH
day." Beasley is quoted as saying.
Mrs. Meyer says she believes she
and Patterson waited for Beasley
about a mile from where the body
was found. She said Beasley warned
her a few days ago that anything
I ever heard him say or saw him
dc, I'd better not know a thing about
it because squawkers didn't make
nothing talking about him."
In returning to the murder scene
today, detectives will renew theiI
search for the hammer with which
Mrs. Miller was struck on the head
nineteen times.
BeaSley has not offered to talk
He will not be questioned until
after Mrs. Meyers confession is
verified.
