by their attorneys, John w. Sullivan
and I. l.. Koppel, has placed several
important clews in the hands of the
sheriff, the most significant being that
he had deadly enemies in the rough
COW country back of Mount Hamilton.
and that much of his stock is missing.
After ride of "a miles Martin Fen
ton, a middle aged cowman, who four
months ago fought a rife duel with
Withers partner, George Frost, tele-
phoned Monday evening from Mount
Hamilton to the coroner, announcing
Withers' death.
Under the impression that Withers
had died from natural causes, Kell left
San Jose that evening and arrived at
the Cooney ranch late the next day
He found the dead man lying on his
A new auto loading rifle lay on the
floor beside the bed.
Henry Lafranz a young friend of
Martin Fenton, was at the house when

he had been in the country hunting
deer and that he had been invited by
| Withers TO stop at his place Sunday
night
Monday morning he got up about 8
O'Clock and went outside to chop some
kindling. While he was gone he heard
a shot and returned to find Withers
dead, just as the coroner found the
body, with the rife lying on the floor.
Bullet Not Found
/ The dumdum bullet split the skull
like an axe, and traversed the head
! almost on a level line. In spite of a
lssearch the bullet could not be found in

that it would penetrate wall after
going through several heads.
Another puzzling fact was that the
rife shell was missing. with s215

held the rifle muzzle against his head.
but there are no powder marks on his
body.
Attorney Sullivan expressed the opin-
ion that Fenton had been killed by
an enemy lying in ambush outside of
the house and the body carried inside.

Teeth Identified

The positive identification of the
teeth of Thomas A. Kendall by the
Oakland dentist. DR.. c. D. Goodwin, is
a great satisfaction to the prosecut-
ing officials of this county. They have
fell confident all along that they had
established beyond doubt the death
of all three of the Kendall family, but
there were some who had asserted their
belief that Thomas Kendall might pos
sibly still be alive.
): Two physicians Of this city, DR.. s.
s. Boyle and DR.. ]. W. Jesse. positively
declared the bones submitted to them
came from three persons.
Oakland detectives have said that the
local officers should first prove Thomas
kendall dead and eliminate him as a
possible murderer. Some persons have
suggested that he killed his parents
and fed, but witnesses declare the af-
lection displayed between son and par
pnts precluded such possibility.

Temperature Not Alarming

The mayors highest temperature
during the day was 100 3-5 AS blood
poisoning invariably indicates it's be-
ginning and spread by a rise in the
patients temperature, the nearly nor
NAL standard maintained today was
one of the most cheering signs to his
physicians. The mayors appetite is
good. although his diet is limited to
broths and liquid foods. He has shown
great stamina of body and mind, and
as far as those who conversed with
him can learn, he is not worrying over
the outcome.
His brother, Thomas l.. Gaynor, who
rushed here from Ohio on the receipt
of the news of the shooting, was al
lowed to spend only 90 minutes in the

Random Farm Notes.

Even the farmers are getting
fond o f burning the gasoline
along the highway.
No fruit makes stronger ap-
peals through outward beauty
than the peach.
If the pigs are kept confined
upon a hard floor they are apt to
have crooked legs.
Duck eggs when over a week
old should not be sold because
they soon lose their fertility.
If your best mare is worth
5000 to some other farmer she is
worth 5000 to you. Remember
that.
A frequent chance of feed will
keep the cows appetite keen and
her production will depend upon
what she eats.
1t is not a good plan to change
the quarters of pullets or hens
while they are laying. 1t is very
apt to check egg production.
At an average price of Is cents
per dozen a hen will have to lay
five tossixldozen eggs to pay for
the feed she consumes in a year.
Ducks can be raised without
water other than drinking water.
The return on cost of feed and
labor ares.much quicker than with
broilers.
In selecting branches of ge-
raniums for cuttings, chose the
ones that break readily, because
they will send out roots quicker
from the broken surface.
Peggy, the mother of five
prize winning hens, is said to be
valued at $1,000. She is White
Orpington, and scored 81 3-4
points out of a possible 100.
The incubator chick starts out
in life under really more favor
able conditions than the hen
Matched chick, for its surround
ings are clean and free of lice
and disease.
A Guernsey cow produced in
one year 14,571 pounds of milk
955 pounds of butter fat. To
produce this she ate 5, $50 pounds
of grain in addition to silage, hay
and fodder.
