"I'd like to know what my Gus
toners do with oil the toothpicks
they carry away" says q restaurant
proprietor. "Few men take q single
toothpick. Most of them take half q
dozen, and many a whole handful,
and when they come in here again
for the next meal they take as many
over again. They don't need them.
It's all due to the notwithstanding

CONFESS TO FOUL MURDER.
Or. Gartrell, Aged seventy, and So.
Arrested at Kansas City for
Killing ID. e. Doncsnn.

Kansas City, Mo-, May DIR. j. T..
Gartrell, 20 years old, Tuesday con-
fessed to Chief of Police Hayes that
he killed D. B. Donegan, a Colorado
miner, whose body was found in Null
berry creek between Amoret and Nj
hart, Mo-, Monday. The confession
was in writing. w. P. Gartrell, the
doctors son, confessed to his knowl-
edge of the crime and to having helped
dispose of the body. The men were ar
rested here Monday night after DIR.
Gartrell had demanded the proceeds
from sale of Donegan's team and
wagon, which had been sold by local
lealer.
When arrested both men stoutly de-
MED completely in the murder. Final
~ Tuesday morning the younger Gar
trell gave way under severe "sweat-
ing" and confessed that his father had
killed Donegan at their camp near Nj
hart on March 10. Then, he said, he
had helped the old man place the body
into Donegan's wagon, and, after
driving distance of 20 miles, dump it
into the creek. Later, he said, they
negotiated the sale of the dead mans
outfit to a Kansas City horse dealer,
and came here to get the money.
DR.. Gartrell was shown his sons
confession and soon broke down and
confessed. He admitted having muir
dered Donegan, saying he slipped up
behind the Colorado man and Drained
him with an ak. The other details %
described by tho son were also admit
ted by the elder Gartrell.
Donegan left Victor, Col, for Kan
sas City on March IS, and was driving
overland to Colorado when he met the
Gartrells. He carried $500. Monday
his body, wrapped in oilcloth, was
found in the bottom of Mulberry
creek. A search Of Donegan's wagon
disclosed bloody pillow and blanket.
and pocketbook containing papers
belonging to the miner.
DR.. Gartrell is a benevolent looking
old man. He fought in the confederate
army under Gen. Price and up to with
in short time ago has been an inmate
of the confederate soldiers home at
Higginsville, Mo. He practiced medi-
cine for years and lately made his
home in Victoria, Tex. He is also said
to have lived in Mexico, Mo-, at one
time. W. P. Gartrell says he is rs years
of age, but looks considerably older.
From papers in the possession of the
Gartrells it appears that they intended
to buy newspaper in Victoria, Tex.
DR.. Gartrell is also said to have
served two terms in the Texas legis-
lature, beginning in 1880. He was
born in Galloway county, Missouri. A
dispatch from Emporia, Kan, states
that the Gartrells were well-known
characters in that city five years ago,

CALLAHAN ACQUITTED.

turns Verdict : of Not Guilty
Judge Expresses Displeasure.

Omaha, Neb:, April 29.-James Cal.
lahan was declared not guilty Sunday
of any completely in the kidnapping
of Edward Cudahy, Jr., shortly after
nine o'clock Sunday morning. The
jury signified to Judge Baker through
q bailiff that it was ready to report
having been out since $3.50 o'clock Sat.
urday night. A small audience of SC
attorneys and interested parties had
heard the news and were waiting when
the 10 men fled in. The foreman an.
nounced that the verdict was mot
guilty."
The Judge had evidently expected
a different verdict, and was openly
disappointed. He wheeled in his
chair and, addressing the jury, re-
buked them in the most vigorous
terms:
"If Callahan had made his own choice Of
a jury he could not have selected IL men
who would have served him more faithful

named who could have been less careful

inal practices in which you have failed tt
check him. I do not know what motive
actuated you in reaching this decision. but

In this jurybox.'
Two other counts still exist against
Callahan and he was at once rearrest'
ed under these. There il doubt, how
ever, whether the state will bring the
cases to trial. Chief of Police Dono
hue announces that the SIS, 600 offered
for the apprehension Of Patrick Grove
will be withdrawn. He says it il one
thing to arrest the culprit and another
to convict him. The reward Of $50, GOT
offered jointly by the city and Edward
Cudahy, however, will still remain II
