Lincoln Neb, June A special to
the Star from Superior gives the story
Of the fight at st. Francis, Kansas, be-
tween the Berry family and some cow
boys.
Land had been taken up by old man
Berry as a homestead. The fences Of
the cattle company interfered with his
passage to and from the roads. Wire
cutting on the part Of the Berry fam
fly in order TO get the shortest possible
road to town is said to have been the
original cousc Of the trouble.
The cowboys had threatened to XIII
the family, The fight resulting IN the
iive deaths came after a recent trip Of
the Berry family to town. The father
and -four sons were returning TO their
homes. Eight miles from their des-

and the cowboys fired.
The oldest boy, John, was wounded,
but stayed in his saddle. The farmers
had the freshest mounts and soon were
out of accurate rifle range. The cow
boys kept up q scattering fusilade OF
shots Arriving home the Berrys did
not think they had been pursued all
the way and they were In front Of the
house when the party OF cowboys rode
W the hill few yards TO the north The
shooting began Immediately. Two Of
the Berry boys were Killed before they
could reach their rifles. The old man
and the other two boys got inside tho
house. There were about 20 cowboys
and they started on the gallop for the
house, intending TO fire,it and burn the
defenders out The old man and the
boys attempted to escape from the 9TH
er side Of the house and were shot down
In succession. Three OF the cowboys
were killed by the farmers while they
were defending the house.

WIFE SLAYER CITES DEITY.
Call on God to Paralyze convicting Witness.

In the presence Of large assemb-
lage of attorneys and spectators, who
filed every inch Of floor space inside
of the railing and crowded the aisles
of the Court House IN Sunbury, Judge
Savidge, Monday afternoon, sentenced
Jacob S. Gerhardt the Shamokin wife
slayer, to death.
When the Judge asked the prisoner
If he had anything to say why sentence
should not be imposed upon him, Ger.
1ardt, with uplifted hand and with a
somewhat trembling but strong voice
exclaimed:
eyes sir, your Honor! l am not
guilty, but as innocent as a child in
the cradle, and l ask for new trial,
because l was tried by a prejudced
jury. Mr.. Brown testified at the trial
that he had shaken hands and talked
with me at the Jail, which was not true,
as every one knows that you could net
extend your hand through the cell
door.
As proof OF this he named Sheriff
Dietrick and Warden Corcoran.
Trembling with emotion which he
could not conceal, and with his finger
pointing toward Heaven, he cried out
IN loud tone of voice:
"God is going to paralyze Mr.
Browns tongue, so that he cannot tell
the truth or a lie, for he is dangerous
man to both man and beast"
Gerhardt partly broke down when
uttering these words: but soon regain
ing his composure he told of other
testimony which he claimed was pre-
JUDGED against him.
81 raise my hand before God that l
never wrote those letters produced
against me, or saw them before the
trial. l am sorry, Judge, that you can
not give me a new trial to prove all
that | have said; but the Supreme
Court will not leave man mount the
scaffold that is convicted by prejud-
iced trial"
Counsel for Gerhardt will appeal his
case to the Supreme Court.

IMPORTANT NEW LAW.
II Relates TO the Collection Of Unpaid
Taxes-Some Marked Changes.

A new law went into effect on
January I, relating TO unseatea lands
and municipal liens, or unpaid taxes.
Under the new arrangement the tax
collectors OF the various boroughs
and townships will now make their
report of unseated lands, and the
amount of tax thereon, to the pro-
thonotary, who will enter it on the
new dockets. The tax thereon be-
comes lien on the land described in
each return. AT any time thereafter
the commissioners may issue scire
tacias and reduce the lien to judg-
ment, after which the property may
De sold by the sheriff the same as on
any other judgment.
Under the old law the unseated
lands, that is, where the owner could
not be found, were returned by the
collectors 10 the Office of the county
commissioners. The returns were in
due time certified to the county treas
urer, whose duty it was to keep the
list and sell the properties at public
auction every two years. The real
owners had chance to redeem the
land so sold within two years, but If
this was not done the sale stood.
Many people kept watch on such
sales and obtained titles to valuable
properties in this way. The new plan
will do away with all this.
One feature is very plain. The
costs will be made much greater than
heretofore. A man who has a sale to
gain title to piece OF land will now
have to pay tine full value of the same
if the piece be small and OF little con
sequence.

Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw Will
be forced out of the Cabinet as a re-
suit of his advocacy of that measure.
The bill passed extends the gold
standard to the Philippines and re-
ceived the unanimous support of the
democrats. The majority bill pro-
vided for the use ot silver at ratio
of 80 to 1. Secretary Shaw is a logi-
cal advocate of the gold standard and
would apply it in the Philippines as
well as in the United States but Secte-
tary Root, who fathered the majority
bill, appreciates the evils of an abso-
lutte gold standard and attempted to
temporize along the line outlined.
The Senate will pass the Ma ty
bill and it is predicted that the whole
measure will be lost IN conference.
The alleged disaffection of those re-
publlcans who rallied to Secretary
Shaw's leadership, will, it is claimed,
defeat the Fowler "Elastic Currency
bill IN the House, as the members of
the Insular affairs Committee are
whetting their knives for Mr.. Fowler's
scalp because of his advocacy of the
minority Philippine bill.

While the Statehood bill occupies

opportunity for antitrust legislation
but it is fast becoming evident that
were it not the Statehood bill it would
be something else for the republicans
are determined that there shall be no
effective antitrust legislation at this
session The House is ready to pass
the Littlefeld antitrust bill which
has received the sanction of the Ad-
ministration and will doubtless do so
at an early date but that it will never
get through the Senate is the conf
dent prediction of those in position
to know. 1t is barely possible that
the Elkins bill, which affects only re-
bates on transportation charges, will

it does its success in conference will
