KIxcA1D, Kan. April S. = George
Miller of Moran, Kan, shot and prob
ably fatally wounded Mrs P. II.
Berkey and her grown daughter, Miss
Ehie Berkey, and slightly wounded
another grown daughter, Miss Jennie
Berkey, at the Berkey home. near
here at : o'clock yesterday afternoon.
An hour later Miller himself was shot
and dangerously, but not necessarily
fatally, wounded while resisting ar
rest.
Miller, who is not quite right men
tally, mas been in the habit of calling
upon Miss Efie Berkey frequently.
Recently, having heard reports of a
defamatory nature concerning her, he
determined to demand an explanation,
and drove to the Berkey home for that
purpose. Mrs Berkey answered his
knock and informed him that he could
not see her daughter. This enraged
him, and he demanded admittance to
the house. This was refused and the
door ST ut in his face. At this, Miller
drew a revolver and fred through the
glass door at Mrs. Berkey, striking her
in the breast, inflicting a wound
from which it is thought she will die.
On hearing the report of the revolver
Miss Effie Berkey, who had gone up
stairs ON Miller's arrival, came rush.
ing to her mothers assistance. As she
stopped over her mother Miller shot
her in the small of the back and the
girl fell on her mothers side. Then
Miller opened the door and went into
the house. BY this time Miss Jennie
Berkey had come upon the scene, and
received a bullet in the shoulder. 1t
is not thought that this wound will
prove serious.
After the shooting Miller drove to
Kincaid and called upon DR.. Wynn
and DR.. Splawn, informing them that
if they were good hands at pulling
bullets they had better go at once
to the Berkey home, where their
services were sorely needed. Miller
himself started to return to the
Berkey home, but was inter-
cepted by Constable Hosley and
posse, who demanded his surrender.
Miller remarked, Gail right" and
Immediately climbed out of his buggy
to give himself up. When the officers
asked for his revolver, he started to
turn it over, and then, suddenly chang
ing his mind, fired three shots at the
officers, none of them taking effect.
The officers returned the fire, wound
ing Miller in the side. Miller turned
and ran after he was shot. but was
captured after a short chase.
