Willmar, Mimi, Jan. 31.-That Mrs.
Belle Guinness of the La Porte, Ind,
murder farm fame, is actually alive
and within few miles of this city, is
the allegation of Samuel Kirby of Man
kato. Furthermore, Mr.. Kirby be-
lieves that the woman is now house
keeper in the family of his brother,
Gus Kirk, prosperous farmer.
Samuel Kirby arrived in this Kan
diyohi) county last Thursday evening,
intent upon securing the arrest of the
woman, who is known by the name of
Mrs. Vallie Casey.
The county officers do not put much
credence in the rumor.
Several reputable persons who have
to admit that she bore any resem-
blance to Mrs. Guinness.
Samuel Kirby, senior, of Mankato, is
the only one who believes that the
housekeeper and the unaccounted for
murderess are the same. 1t is at Sam
uel Kirky's instigation that Samuel
Ball, representative of the police de-
partment of La Porte, Ind, arrived
here with warrant for the arrest of
Mrs. Guinness.
The detective is supplied with a de.
tailed description of Mrs Guinness and
will make an official comparison OF
the physical characteristics of the two
women The La Porte authorities did
not agree to run down the Willmar
rumor until Samuel Kirby had guar.
Rnteed the expense of their transporta.

Gustavus Kirby sold the Kandiyohi
county farm last week to Samuel Gar

Casey, the housekeeper was present
during the negotiations. 1t is said that
both she and her employer expressed
their intention Of going to California
as soon as all of the property was dis
posed of. Sheriff Peter Bonde of this
county Is not of the opinion that Mrs
Casey is the much-wanted woman.
In Willmar Samuel Kirby at time:
refers to himself as a detective ant
is prone to discuss the inability of the
police to catch criminals. He refer:
to statistics and say that only two
murderers out of every 100 are eve
caught and that the country is spend

OF nine pounds.
Despite the many knocks he Is re-
ceiving from persons who don't think
his work impressive. there is not a
question that he is absolutely conf

he has already made plans to return
in triumph east on July on private
car.
