Wednesday afternoon, at three o'clock,
in the southeastern part Of Cheyenne
county, on land occupied by one Of the
Berry boys, was enacted the most tragic
shooting affair Ia the memory Of the
oldest residents in northwest Kansas.
The fight was between the Berry boys
and the Dewey men.
The dead are:
DIP. BERRY, father.
ALPHEUS BERRY, SON.
BERCH BERRY, son.
The wounded are:
Roy Berry, cousin of the Berry
boys, MORALLY wounded, dying.
Beach Berry, SOD, wounded in
the leg.
The news Of the killing was tele-
phoned from Mcdonald, a small town in
Rawlins county, to Colby by Beach Ber-
", who had managed 70 escape with a
flesh wound in the leg, saying that four
had been killed and to send coroner,
sheriff and physicians to the scene at
once. Later reports confirmed the ac-
curacy of his report.
D. P. Berry was shot in the pit Of the
stomach the bullet ranging upward, He
died instantly. Alpheus Berry was shot
in the back Of the head near the base Of
the brain and killed. Berch Berry was
also shot in the head and died instantly.
Roy Berry was shot in the cheek, bullet
ranging downward. He is dying. Beach
Berry received only a flesh wound in the
leg.
DR.. Newsome, who assisted IN dressing
the wounds, has returned to Atwood. He
says that Roy Berry's dying statement
is that he ROY was shot with rifle in
the hands Of Chauncey Dewey.
". S. Coleman, who was in st.
Francis Thursday, reported that the
shooting on the Dewey side was done by
Chauncey Dewey and two of his men,
Mcbride and Wilson. Feeling is at
high pitch among the people Of Chey-
enne county and if they were fully con-
WINGED in their own minds that the kill
ing Of the Berrys was done in cold blood,
they would make short work Of the men
who did the deed. Sheriff Burnam, Of
Cheyenne county, fastened to the Oak
Ranch, headquarters Of the Dewey
ranches, to take the three men into
custody. He was accompanied by
numbers Of citizens who remained out of
view while the sheriff advanced to make
the arrest. Any shots were to be signals
that help was needed, but as the sheriff
encountered no difficulty in placing the

COMPETITOR FOR "oRIENT."
Rock Island Comforting with Mexican
Central For Merger.

Central For Merger.
st. Louis, May lit is stated that
A. A. Robinson, president of the Next
can Central, is now in New York in
conference with officials of the Rock
Island upon the terms of sale.
The requirement of the Mexican
Central would place the Rock Island
in the position of a formidable compel
itor for Stillwell's Orient line, as we'll
as prove by developments an excellent
feeder to the system.
The lines connect at Ell Paso and ex-
tend from this point to the capital of
Mexico, while several feeder lines tap
important territory.
The Mexican Central already reaches
within a few miles of the Pacific coast
and there is little to be done in case
the deal goes through for the Rock
Island to get Pacific outlet.
Branch lines have been started. One
extension is projected from Jiminez,
and if completed would place the Rock
Island into close competitive contact
with the Stillwell line.
1t is pointed out that by the acquisi-
ton of the Mexican Central the Rock
Island would not only get a direct
route to the Pacific coast, which will
shorten the distance to the Philippines
and the principal ports of Asia, but it
would acquire an established traffic
with Mexico

Catarrh inhames the mucous membrane

through the mucous membrane in the form
of mucous. This discharge of mucous is the
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces
weakness.

A Charter Refused.

Philadelphia, May 1.-The Penn
sylvania supreme court affirmed rul-
ing of the late Judge Arnold in which
the latter refused to charter Christian
science associations. Judge Arnold re-
ferred the application for charter to
a master who recommended that the
charter be refused on the ground that
sit would be injurious to the com
munity to incorporate group of citi-
zens who would preach the doctrine
that there is no such a thing as con-
tagious disease or any disease and
practice the art of curing what are
called contagious diseases by inaudible
prayer in the presence of the sick or at
distance"
The masters opinion was endorsed
by Judge Arnold and the supreme
court upheld this view and quashed
the appeal.
