Williams and hla family moved Into the cab in a few davs later, and the kill ing was not suspected until friends of McLeod began Inquiring about him. Williams exhibited a pontal card, supposedly written bv Mc leod, aaylug that he had gone to Portland, would be back sometime later And that Williams waa taking care of the place. BILL OF ALK . Then another piece of paper was exhibited, purporting to be a bill ol sale, and Williams told Question ers the Scotsman had had to leave the county In a hurrv and had sold the place to him. Williams. The handwriting on the card, however, was nothing at all like the handwriting ol McLeod. The latter wrote a good and rather or nate hand, used good Engllnh and proper spelling, while Williams' card was scrawled poorly with var ious misspellings, Williams was arrested Sept. 1, 1014. on a charge of making out a lalse bill ol aale. and a search was on fur tha bodv.

It will probably occasion no surprise on your part to be told that the Cadillac car is the most wanted and sought-after automobile on the American highways. But you might be surprised to learn how widesprtad the desire to own this great motor car has become during recent years. j Statistics indicate, for instance, that there are more , than twenty million motorists in America who would like to call Cadillac their own. And were the whole of the world's motorists to be considered, this number would grow well-nigh beyond comprehension. There is reason to believe, in fact, that Cadillac , may be wanted by more people than any other product manufactured in America today. It might well be called the great desideratum of the American people. Naturally, a motor car has to offer many wonderr ful things in order to occupy such a unique position in the hopes and aspirations o( so many persons. ' - ' - It has to offer great and distinguishing beauty . . luxurious comfort . . . brillianttmasterful performance , , . . and wonderful prestige. ' And, of course, In order to have become the logical ambition of so many millions, it would have to be practical to own, as well as wonderful to drive. And so, it would also have to offer extraordinary economy! If this sounds like the description of the Car that you, yourself, would like to own and drive, then come in and see us soon. ' Perhaps the time has come for you to join the hundreds of thousands 6f motorists who have stopped wanting a Cadillac and started enjoying one! We'd be happy to see you any time. !-' THE GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY DICK B. MILLER CO. tint a barn. Aa he raised hla shot gun for another shot. Williams fired the rifle and McLeod dropped.

Williams aald he left tha body on the ground that night and ataved In the house until noon the next day, when he cleaned up. caught his pony and rode back to town. On Aug. 24 he went back to the cabin and burled McLeod's body. SUSPICION A good many of the persons who had some connection with the Mc Leod murder have passed from the scene. Other are atiU here. Abel Ady, president of the old Klamath Water Users Association, was one of the first to get suspicious over McLeod's disappearance. He was helping McLeod get homestead en try to the land he had settled on. C. C. Low waa Sheriff, and Lloyd Low waa depluv. Earl Whltlock was Coroner.

Therefore, a lifer oulte often Is eligible for parole after. about sev en years. ' Why was Williams kept In the penitentiary so long? Court officials, the District At torney, Sheriff and possibly the cir cuit judge ol the county irom which the prisoner wss sentenced, olten are asked whether or not thev will recommend a parole for an eligible convict.
