Camden, Ark.- Tom James, a second cousin of the famous Frank and Jesse
James, is in jail on a charge of killing John Knotz, a German mill man. The
shooting occurred at the sawmill of O C Burke, one mile from Obear, a small
town eight miles from this city. James claims self defense. He fired three
shots, two taking effect. The quarrel is said to have resulted from a
discussion over some logs taken from the property of James.
