Denver Demimonde Murders and Irrigation Experiments Highlighted
The article contrasts a Denver strangulation spree with early Whitechapel horrors as three alleged victims from Denver’s demimonde are found slain in ten weeks, stirring panic among sex workers. It also summarizes Utah State experiments on irrigation depth, noting better grain yields at 16 to 24 feet saturation and leaching effects on soil fertility. A Nevada City school boy essay on Henry VIII parades errors about wives and lineage.
