Tools, Tractor, Corn and Hay. $3750 for quick sale TERMS Box H-807." Kirkpatrick left Oklahoma City carrying a handbag stuffed with $200,000 in $20 bank notes. The kidnapers' orders were followed to the letter, except that the FBI had a record of the serial numbers of the ransom bills.

In Kansas City, Kirkpatrick took a cab to the LaSalle Hotel, stepped out, paid the driver and walked west. He had gone only a short distance when a stranger approached him and said, "Mr. Kincaid, I'll take that bag." Remarkable Memory Urschel arrived home the next night, unharmed but exhausted. After he had rested, he gave FBI agents the story of his kidnaping in amazing detail. After Jarrett was put blindfolded.

out of the About car, Urschel daylight, the kidnap car drove into a garage, or barn, and he was transferred to a larger car. He was placed in back on a pallet spread on the floor. About three hours after changing automobiles their car stomped at a gasoline station. where a woman filled tank without noticing anything unusual. Former Salem Resident Dies A man, who in his youth worked as a carpenter in Salem and then moved to The Dalles where he practiced dentistry for many years, died there Saturday.

He was Dr. Bert C. Olinger, 78, brother of James H. Olinger, 1109 Mill St. and an uncle of Dr.

Harold M. Olinger, 475 Mission Salem. Dr. Bert Olinger was initiated into the Salem Elks lodge in 1902 at the request of the late Senator Charles, the McNary, order. In then 1910 secre- he served as exalted ruler of T13 Dalles lodge 303 of the Elks.

Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Smith Callahan chapel, The Dalles. Albert Miller Rites Monday ALBANY (Special) Albert A. Miller, 83, 427 W. Ninth Albany, died Friday at an Albany hospital.

Death was the result of heart disease. The funeral was held Monday with burial in Belcrest Memorial Park, Salem. Native of Marion county, he was born at Jefferson, Dec. 22, 1373. He had lived in Jefferson until 1943, when he came to Albany where he had since lived.

He was a retired furniture dealer and mortician. On Dec. 23, 1894, at Salem he married Maude J. Racey, who survives as do a daughter, Mrs. Olin Nebergall, Albany: two grandsons land a great-grandson.

"How are crop conditions?" one of the kidnapers asked. "The crops around here are burned she said, "although we may make some broom Their next stop was another garage or barn. Urschel was taken on foot to a house nearby where he spent the night. Sounds of Farm Next day he was taken to another house about 20 minutes' driving distance from the first. He heard chickens cackling, cows lowing and hogs grunting.

He water being drawn by bucket from a well he judged to be northwest of the house. He drank from a tin without a handle and the water had a mineral taste. Handcuffed to a chain, Urschel managed to work his blindfold loose enough so that he could get a glimpse of his watch. Each morning about 9:45 nd each evening about 5:45 he heard a plane pass over the house. But on Sunday, July 30, there was a downpour of rain and he didn't hear the morning plane.

The next day he was driven to a point near Norman, and released. FBI special agents studied Urschel's recollections and decided that their best chance to locate the kidnapers' house was tied in with the account of rainstorm and the failure the plane to follow its usual course. No Plane in Rain They found that on Sunday, July 30, an American Airways plane on the Fort Worth Amarillo run had been forced swing north from its usual course to avoid a rainstorm. U. S.

Weather Bureau records at Dallas disclosed that this general area had been suffering from a drought and corn was beginning to burn until the July 30 rains came. A little calculation showed that the morning plane leaving Fort Worth and the afternoon plane leaving Amarillo would pass over a point near Paradise, at the approximate times recalled by Urschel. They found the house described by Urschel. It was the ranch home of Mr. and Mrs.

R. G. Shannon, stepfather and mother of Kathryn Kelly. Kathryn Kelly was the wife of the notorious "Machine Gun" Kelly, who reputedly could knock walnuts off a fence with his machine gun at 25 yards. Urschel identified the Shannon home.

There was the well and the tin cup without a handle and the chain to which he had been handcuffed. He could never forget the mineral taste of that water. The Shannons confessed that they had helped guard Urschel. The kidnapers were Kelly and Albert L. Bates.

The FBI men tracked Bates to Denver, where he was arrested. Kelly and his wife were traced to Memphis, Tenn. FBI special agents and Memphis police raided the hideaway. Caught without a machine gun in his hands, Kelly cringed before the officers and pleaded, "Don't shoot, G-Men!
