special value of Ivory Soap in this form arises from the fact that i

KANSAS CITY, NO., Nov. ct. v.
Campbell, 9 rooter living at 1923 Gar

the husband OF Mary Holtkamp's
sister. The sister, Mrs. Wright, lives
between Kansas City and Independ-
ence, at the crossing Of the Santa Fe
and Belt line tracks.

where. He believes that the mys-
FERROUS jackson" who buried Mary
Holtkamp's body and paid the funeral
expenses is now living Q ~ Mexico,
Mo. Holtkamp, Mary's father, ao-
cording to Campbell, was both farmer
and coal miner. He was in poor cir
c~umstances, and his daughters had TO
work out. Mary secured a place at q
stock farm In the fall OF 1884,, and there
a certain young man paid her marked
attention. Stories began to Goat about
Mexico, and finally Mary's father
threatened to kill this young man on
sight. Campbell took a hand In try
ing to prevent trouble. One day Mary
rode into Mexico on one OF the young
man'a horses, turned the horse loose,
and after telling some of her girl
friends good-by, disappeared. Holt
kamp went to st. Louis in search OF
his daughter, bat without avail.
Campbell then went to St. Louis,
and aided by q detective appointed by
Chief Desmond,searched for the miss
ing girl without result. After Mary
Roltkamp disappeared theyoung man
referred to above used to disappear
for several days at a time. He may
have gone to st. Louis to sell cattle,
but Campbell intimates that some OF
those early visits were to see Mary
Holtkamp, and that this man can tell
g great deal II he will talk.
Campbell says Mrs. Wright knows
less about the Holtkamp case than he
does. They T interested in the 9
cults of Mrs. Banberger's indictment,
but thus far have taken no part in
trying to fasten Mary Holtkamp's
death on her.

young men who were engaged in the row
on Sunday evening which resulted in the
death of John Landmann, were taken be-
fore the Chief of Police yesterday and
each gave his version Of the fight as was
told in The Call of Monday morning
Their statements confiicted, each prison
er making an effort to shield the other
from blame. The only important state
ment made was that of young Monahan,
who still sticks to the assertion that he
gave the knife to 'Hunkers' Trueworthy.
Trueworthy was shown the knife found
after the struggle and swore that he had
never seen it before The police are of
the opinion that the weapon used in the
ARRAY was secreted Immediately after the
killing of Landmann. According to True
worthy, he and Bush were mixed up with
Landmann at different times during the
fight 1t will therefore be impossible to
ascertain who was the knife-wielder.
Several other witnesses to the affair
We're examined, but information of little
value was elected. Detective Charles
Cody is energetically working on the
case. He is looking for d witness who
has not as yet come forward. The young
men are still in prison. They will APP
pear at the Coroners inquest this morn
ing and may tell what they know of
Landmarks death.

RANCHERS' FEUD
ENDS IN DEATH
Parkfield Resident Stays
His NeighbOr.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALINAS, June John B. Jones, a
well-known farmer residing in the south
ern portion of Monterey County, was shot
and killed yesterday by his brother-in-
law, James O. GilIett The weapon used
was Winchester rifle, and the first re-
ports of the affair that reached this city
were to the effect that Gillett killed his
victim when the latter was quarter of a
mile away and was not aware that his
life was in danger. This the slayer de-
MES. He gave himself up to the authori-
ties yesterday, alleging that he had taken
the life of Jones in self-defense. The
facts regarding the killing have not yet
been brought to light, and the widow of
the victim seems disposed to aid her sis
Gillett.
Gillett and Jones courted and married
two sisters, daughters of William Murley.
a pioneer of this county. 1t has been
known for years that the two men were
bitter enemies, and the wife of Jones, to
avoid trouble with her brother-in-law,
persuaded her husband to leave the Park
field district. They came to this section
and lived near Santa Rita Later. how
ever, Jones moved to Tuolumne County,
where up to about three weeks ago he re-
sided.
Moving back to Parkfed, Jones took
property adjoining the ranch of his
brother-in-law and just across a creek.
The old feud which had slumbered broke
out afresh on Sunday. At some place in
the mountains the men met to adjust their
difficulties amicably. They failed to ar
rive at settlement, and once more parted
enemies. Jones rode homeward and Gill
lett to his abode. The latter remained
only long enough to procure his rifle, and
then started out to find Jones. When the
two men met, according to the statement
cf Gillett, the quarrel was renewed, and
to avoid being killed himself Gillett shot
first Jones fell from his horse and ex-
pired almost Immediately. When he saw
| his relative fall Gillett went to Parkfeld
and surrendered to Constable Sloan to
avoid possible violence from friends of
Jones.
Upon reaching the scene of the murder
the officers could find no trace of any
weapons carried by Jones, but it is
claimed they discovered a place in the
brush where there were evidences of some
one having been in hiding.
The whole affair is creating no end of
excitement, and at the inquest tomorrow
and the preliminary examination on
Wednesday it is expected there will be
sensational developments. The friends of
Jones claim he was shot when riding I'M
armed up q lonely mountain trail and
they threaten to avenge his death. The
families involved in the feud are among
the most prominent In Southern Monterey
County, where they have resided for many

LIGHTNING TRANSFORMED
Farmer John Hickey Meets a Bunko
Man and Now Wears Old Clothes.

Jolly Hickey middle-aged man who
has just arrived from the country, ran
athwart clever bunko man yesterday
and last night he went to police head
quarters with his troubles. Hickey. who
had been drinking all morning, met a
stranger in saloon at the corner of Clay
and Polk streets, and together they
started out to see the sights The affable
stranger told Hickey he was brother of
a prominent officer of the First California
Volunteers. They had many drinks to-
gether and the liquor soon began to over
power Hickey. The stranger suggested
that he hire a room in a lodging house at
1922 Polk street.
Both men went to the room and when
Hickey woke up about $50 last evening
he found that the stranger had relieved
him of $45 and some small change and his
new suit. of clothes. The bunko man was
thoughtful enough to leave Hickey his
discarded suit and as Hickey was a much
bigger man than the bunko-steerer, he
presented sorry appearance when, he
walked into police headquarters last
night to report the matter.
