WOMAN WORKS GAME
TO GET MERCHANDISE
POSES AS WIFE OF ATTORNEY
FOR SALT LAKE ROAD
Carries Away Goods, Has Bills Sent
to w. r. Kelley with a Few
Articles She Could Not
Garry Away

Having believed his friends were be-
coming unusually generous and were
forwarding Christmas presents a lit
tie in advance of the usual time, w. r.
Kelley, attorney for the Salt Lake
railroad, became disillusioned last
night when he opened his mail and
found bills for goods which had been
purchased from the Dyas-Cline COM
pany and the Weatherby-K Kayser COM
pany.
The bills stated the goods had been
purchased by his wife, and not wish
ing to carry all the articles home
she had sent some of them to the office
of Mr.. Kelley, in the Pacific Electric
building.
Among the articles received were a
rifle and shoes and as soon as Mr..
Kelley opened the packages he sus-
pected someone had been using his
name for fraudulent purposes and at
once called up his wife. who stated
she had not been doing any shopping
and had no intention of buying a
rifle, and much less shoes for her hus-
band.
Mr.. Kelley then called up the stores
from which the merchandise came,
and was informed that a sprightly
appearing woman had purchased the
articles, stating she was the wife of
Kelley, and that she had taken with
her what she could carry, and the re-
1nainder she ordered sent to Kellys
office, also the bills for the entire
amounts,

SEEN IN CHINATOWN
One chlnaman Seeks Refuge from
Gunmen and Accepts a Term
in San Francisco
Jail

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17--Wildcat
meat is at a premium in the Chinese
quarter of this city as a result of the
strife between the Yee family and the
On Yick tong, which has brought about
six murders in or near San Francisco
since November l.
There is n superstitous belief among
the Chinese that If their warriors are
fed on the flesh of wildcats they will
asslmilate the ferocity Of the beasts
and their fighting efficiency will be
much improved. The gun men of the
On Yicks and those of the Yee family
are ready for war, and the butchers of
the quarter are enjoying a thriving
trade in wildcat meat.
There has been no relaxation of the
vigilance Of the police of the China
town squad. The detectives who are
mingling with the Chinese every day
say that more killings are certain to
come before the feud dies out. Every
prominent Chinese who is remotely
connected either with the on Yicks or
the zee family is surrounded by a body
guard of white men whenever he ap-
pears on the streets, as it is known that
prices have been set on heads of many
by the warning factions.
To the casual observer the Chinese
quarter looks as peaceful as though
tong wars were a thing unknown. The
INHABITANTS SnuIHe ABOUT Lnelr every
day concerns without betraying any
indication of nerve strain or fear on
their impassive faces. The only un-
usual sights are the displays made by
hardware dealers, who have given re-
yolvers of all ages and makes con-
spicuous places In their windows, and
the wildcats, gathered from all over the
state, which are exhibited at every
butcher shop.
Among the less courageous of the
On Yicks and Yees there is some mani
festation of fear The police were
called upon to deal with one such case
today when Wong 10 was arrested for
vagrancy and sent up" for six months,
apparently 10 the prisoners great de-
light. The detectives say he sought
Imprisonment because he felt that he
would be safe from the gun men be-
hind the bars.
