Naturally the disturbing figure in
the case is Charles T. Killen. The at
torneys for some of the possible Iiti-
giants in the case say that the Dewey
will is in the handwriting of the lucky
private secretary. They say, too, that
Kfllen was at the bedside of the
ranchman when he died; that he was
with him during the greater part of
the time in recent years. What
charges this will result in has not been
announced, except the single one that
the word will was not mentioned in
the room in the presence of Charles
P. Dewey at the time the docum ent
was drawn and signed.
Killen Says He Gave Good Service.
Since Chauncey Dewey went to
Kansas few years ago to assume the
management of one of the largest cat
tie ranches in the whole world. Chas.
k1llen has been both son and secre-
tary to the old man. He is a good
looking, modest appearing young fell
low-young. if a man is still young at
81 years-and for sixteen years he has
been a part of the Dewey economy.
You're a lucky young fellow" he
was told the other day.

Il have been treated nobly," he said.
How did you come to get 100000

ed? About the only people who ever
do it are those who grab it and run
away
MT. Dewey told me for several
years he would remember me hand
somely.' said Killen. at didn't ex-
pect him to do so much for me. but
knew he would do something. You
see have been closer to him than
any one else has. I have been with
him almost constantly, much more
constantly than has his own son. Then
l tried to give him faithful service all
the time and every place The for
tune he has left me he himself re-
garded as reward and must regard
it in the same way"
And that is the way in which this
young fellow looks upon the fruits of
sixteen years friendship. He is a lit
tie nervous, of course, this coming
into great fortune-as young mems
fortunes are reckoned-makes him so.
And it is this fortune he has the task
of defending.
The day after Killen told why he
had been given the fortune, he and
Chauncey Dewey sat together in what
was the late c. P. Dewey's office, but

of his cowboys, and will make his home

make his home there would be the sig
nal for the opening of another chapter
in the bitter feud which for spectacular
features and for the vigor with which
it has been waged outranks, except in
years of duration, even the bloody,
neighborhood wars of Kentucky.
Dewey is not coward, but he is not
a fighter. He and his cowboys killed
the Berrys only after they had been
attacked, so the evidence in the trial
indicated to the jury. This fact brought
like to fight, and he doesn't like noto-
riety. He has tried to keep out of
trouble, but at the same time he has
realized that it was either war or ex-
termination, and he chose war.
1t was in this great ranch and in the.
herds that rove over it that a great
part of the fortune of the late Charles
p. Dewey was invested. It is this for
Chicago courts. Killen, Chauncey
Dewey, and his mother by the terms of
the will are now equal owners of the
great property. The daughter was cut
off with barely more than the market
price of the lead cattle of one of the
many herds Dewey owned.

But Killen must fight to retain it.
What promises to be one of the most
hotly contested will cases Cook county

private secretary's hands.

And speaking of famous sons, it is
useless to say that every one in and
out of Chicago has heard of Chauncey
Dewey, who is himself a cattle king,
owning and controlling more than
$4,000 acres of cattle land in half a
dozen counties in western Kansas
But more of this son later.
From many parts of the United
States lawyers are gathering in Chi
cago to fight to the finish d battle for
the Dewey riches. There are not a
great many heirs. but the peculiar
manner in which the wealth of the late
cattle king was parceled in his will
made While he was on his death bed
has stirred up a quarrel that threat

which is now the office of KiHen and
Chauncey Dewey. They are the ex-
ecutors of the estate and they are to-
gether much of the time. For several
days they have spent most of their
time buying Office furniture to trans
form the commonplace rooms occu-
pied by the cattle king into a sumpt-
uous layout. The old man never was
very much for the appearance of his
place of business as long as the finan-
claI returns were satisfactory.
Youngest Cattle King.
In appearance there is some resem-
blance between Chauncey Dewey and
killen. Dewey is the heavier of the two.
The muscles of his arms and chest look
heavy enough to break the neck of a
bull. He is a dapper young fellow, quiz
ct, slow speaking, and just a little bit
more than ordinarily modest and retir
ing. From what the world has heard
of him he would not be easily receg-
nized as Chauncey Dewey.
Chauncey' Dewey is the youngest of
the great cattle kings of the world. He
is about the only one in the middle sec
ton of the great plains who has not
given up the fight against the encroach-
ment of the smaller ranchmen. 1t is
this fight against the settlers that gave
him his notoriety, and which took him
through a court of law, where he was
acquitted of the charge of killing three
men in a feud.
Several years ago c. P. Dewey placed
Chauncey Dewey in charge of the for
mer'S $4,000 acre ranch in Cheyenne
county, Kansas. AS time went on and
the herds increased the Deweys extend
ed their holdings until finally they
came to control 300 900 additional acres
in Sherman, Rawlins, and Thomas
counties. There Chauncey Dewey has
made a stand against hundreds of cat
tlemen, who have besieged him on ev-
cry SIDE who have attempted time and
time again to drive him out, who have
run their herds over his grazing
grounds, and who finally brought about
the bitterest feud western Kansas had
known for generations. This feud had
its elimination in the killing of three
members of the Berry family of settlers
by Dewey and his cowboys. For a long
time open warfare was waged. After
the tragic ending of the fight between
Dewey and one set of those who at
