She had been outraged, her clothing torn off and she was choked to death. Miss Byers left her school at the usual time in the afternoon to walk to her boarding house. Her non-appearance started a search which grew in proportions until practically the entire county, which is sparsely populated, was engaged. A message was sent to the county officers at Dodge City to examine passengers on the Santa Fe train which reaches there from the only railroad in the Southwest, about 3 o'clock. The settlers also put in a call for bloodhounds and aroused the Southwest by telephone and telegraph. Miss Byers was about 24 years old and the daughter of one the oldest families in the county. Her father was once representative from Grant county, but is now dead. Bloodhounds from Concordia followed a trail from the lonely spot near Satanta, where the young school teacher was attacked and murdered to a farm house nearby, where Archibald Sweet, a farm hand, slept the night of the murder. Later Sweet gave himself into the hands of the Grant County Sheriff. He declared he sought protection; he denied guilt.
