aILLErT IS COMING BACK
The Former Cattle King Says He will
 Return in Time.

Chihuahua, Mex. Feb. 2;.-Could the Kansas City associates of Grant Gil- lett see him this week. pitching hay on hacienda. five miles from Chihuahua, they would hardly envy him the si00. 900 he Is reported to have taken from Kan sas City two years ago. If. indeed. he had cash money when he reached Mex leo to the amount of the accounts he left unpaid in Kansas City the greater portion of it had been .squandered in bad investment or disposed of In some other way. and he is now man of or dinary means, not poor man. per haps, but one hardly to be termed wealthy. He has a contract for put ting up hay this winter and handles the fork as industriously as any Mexican in his employ. The pride of the former millionaire cattle king of Kansas has been subdued and he Is now an ordlna- ry citizen. He boards. with his family. in Chihuahua but rides out to the ranch every morning and returns every after noon.
 IL will be two years in May since Gil- lett arrived in Chihuahua from Kansas City. and with his arrival came the rumor that he was the missing Kan sas City cattleman. He never denied it. although for some time he would not discuss the matter. When seen by the correspondent for the Star this week however. Mir. Glllett was communica- tive enough. "I think those who were most interested in me about Kansas City have heard enough of me. he said ''l might tell few things that would be interesting to them and more so to the public. but do not think the time has come yet. My absence from there has made my case defenseless and l offer nothing. l am trying to make an honest living here and l will say that l am succeeding very we'll. l hope to re- turn to Kansas City, probably this year, but at any rate soon. and give a thorough account of myself. It will be interesting 10 some. but have ncthing to say now. The true story of my dsal ings in the Kansas City market will be given in full when I return. and that will be soon enough"
 Gillett lives In rather handsome house for Mexico and spends all his leis- ure hours at home with his wife and boy. It must be said cf him that he Is home loving man and Is uncommon!y fond of the society of his little family. Mrs. Gillett keeps a fine mil nery es- tablishment on the main thor6ughfars of the city and her place would not be a discre6lt to Kansas City. Her store Is the handsomest one in Chihuahua, and Is abou1 the only one that can boast of plate glass windows. They live In suite of rooms in the rear of the store. like most all the people of this section.
 Grant Gillett Is an extremely temper ate man and is never seen to take a drink of intoxicants here. He is the jovial fellow he was when listed with the millionaires about the Kansas City stock yards and never grows tired of talking of those days.
 Yes. 1 would like 10 go back he said to the correspondent of the Star. flor the activity in business there is something different to putting up hay in Mexico. am at home in cattle pen and you can imagine what the change has done for me. I can endure it while longer though. and will then call and see all my old associates.
 Mrs. Gillett Is very popular in Chi huahua society and Is quite a favorite among the first people of the city. She receives the best patronage of Northern Mexico and sets the fashions in millinery.
