GROWING BELIEF THAT
LANDIS WAS MURDERED
Bullet Found in the Ceiling Was i
Not Fired From His
Pistol.
LINCOLN. Sept. B.— There is now no!
doubt that Frank Landis. the young Lin
coln merchant who was found dead In the ;
luck room of his store on August 'j, met |
with foul play. The case has been under !
investigation by Pinkerton detectives j
! hired by the citizens to unravel the mys- !
it-ry, and their findings point unmistak
ably to murder.
i''«ng Ldtidis was killed by a bullet
from a. 38-caliber revolver*, and th£rfact '■
th.it his own pistol of the same T^ilmt :
was found within six rV.-t of Ins body lent '
color to the suicide theory. A 38-caliher :
bull-'t was found in the stairway above '
the body, and it was the opinion of the i
countj officers ihni Land is iir.-d it from
hia pistol to avert suspicion of suicide; re- |
loaded his weapon and discharged a sec- I
end bullet into his heart.
It has now been discovered that the bul- !
let found in the stairway; although a &>- i
c;;h'ber. c<>u! ( ] not have been nred by I
Landis' revolver. It belonged to a cheaper
weapon and was evidently used by a'see-i
ond party. A lamp which Is r usually
lighted In the store at night was seen
burning at 9:30 on the evening of the mur
der, but at 10:37 several people noticed
that it was extinguished. This was before
Landis entered the store. Two parties j
have bon found who heard a noi.se like j
that of falling packing boxes in the rear!
of the store at 10:10 that evening. No
clew to th^ mur.3<rer has been obtained. '

TROUBLE OVER
OLAA LANDS
♦ 7
Squatters Will Fight for
Possession.
♦■
Special Dispatch to The Call.
VICTORIA, B. C, Sept. B.— According
to news received from Honolulu by the
Warrimoo, a public sale of Government
lands shortly to be held there. Will be pro
ductive of no small amount of trouble.
The Olaa squatters, a band of settlers
who have squatted on some rich fertile
Government land on Hawaii, have formed
an association and will light to the bitter
j end to retain the land they have seized.
j The association, which has been named
"The American Settlers' Association," is
i running an advertisement in the Honolulu
: papers giving notice to any who intend
j purchasing the land settled on by them
] of prior claims to it. and that a title to
! the land from the Hawaiian Government
, will, be disputed by them.
The lands under dispute are recently
i surveyed lands In the district of Olaa,
on the island of Hawaii. The Govern
ment intended to open them up to home
steaders under the Hawaiian land laws.
The squatters claim that by the New
lands resolution all public lands of Ha
waii became public lands of the United
! States and do disposition can be made of
'■ them except by act of Congress. The
! sale will not be held until the Washing
ton authorities can be communicated
with.
The squatters hold 'that a judgment
] given by Assistant Attorney General Van
j Deventer, on July 26, ■' supports their con
: tention. The claim of would-be settlers
in a nutshell is, that when they came on
1 the lands they were unoccupied Govern
| ment lands and they have taken them as
I such and made the improvements called
for under the United States laws in this
regard, intending, as soon as the United
States land laws are enforced in the isl
ands, to complete their title. The land in
volved consists of between 6000 . and "COO
acros, which is said to be worth from one
to two hundred dollars per acre, so. that
the amount Involved taking the valuation
of the land at an average figure will not
be far short of. a million dollars.
