MR.. KERLEYs SIDE OF 1T.
His Statement Concerning the Alleg-
ed Killing of a Man in Kansas.

During the progress of the Weller
trial last month, an article appeared in
this paper to which +. B. Kerley, the
father of Chas. Williams. takes excep-
ton. The article in question consisted
of the statement of story that has
been in circulation here TO the effect
that in 1883 in Kansas, Mr.. Kerley and
his son had trouble with a man named
Wyatt and calling him out of the house
one evening after dark. killed him. for
which crime Mr.. Kerley was found
guilty.
As a matter of justice to Mr.. Kerley
his side of the story should also be
heard, as he has been a resident of the
valley for the past thirteen years. six
years of that time being spent as zan-
jero Of the Utah Extension canal COM
pany, and I'm that capacity ne has serv-
ed we'll and faithfully with credit To
himself and the canal company. He is
known in Tempe and throughout the
valley as a peaceful man with a high
sense of honor and right. Mr.. Kerley
says that the story which has been in
circulation regarding the killing is
false TO the core. without a grain of
truth. He has always been a man who
avoided trouble; he never had occasion
TO kill any man, in the dark or other
wise, and what is more, never had any
desire TO do so. He cites as witnesses
to his good conduct while he lived in
Kansas and since, Rob Cannon. who.
for a long time owned a livery stable
in Prescott. and Smith Roberts. who
used to run the stage between Phoenix
and Buckeye, and who so far as Mr..
Kerley knows. is still so engaged
Mr.. Kerley wishes the above given
publicity in the hope that it will re-
move any bad impression that his
friends may have gained through the
publication in November of the story
as it then appeared.

a shipment Of 50 ostriches will arrive
today and be taken to the Chandler
ranch to join others Of their kind. The
birds are all young fellows and have

Ostriches are shipped in ordinary
cattle cars and are handled in much the

THE LOST HEARD FROM.

Ten weeks ago Shan Johnson left
here with the expectation of being alb
sent a couple Of weeks in Mexico on
minging business. After neaving Cam
anea he was heard from by his wife a
few times up to a month ago when all
trace Of him was lost and until yester-
day fears for his safety were entertain
ed by Mrs. Johnson, as it was known
that he had contemplated going far
into the interior of Mexico. Yesterday
