FAMILY ANNIHILATED.

Meaeer details of the annihilation OF
almost a whole family have been re-
ceiyed from st. Francis, Kans. 1t seems
that for some time there has been bad
feeling between men employed by the
Dewar Cattle Company and family
named Berry over the possession of GER
tain land. Berry and his four sons are
said to have engaged in battle with
cowboys, which resulted in the death OF
the father and three of the sons, the
fourth being seriously wounded. Land
had teen taken up by old Mr.. Berry as
homestead. The fences of the cattle
company interfered with his passage to
and from the roads. Wire cutting on
the part of the Berry family, in order to
get the shortest possible road to town, Is
said to have been the original cause OF
the quarrel. The cowboys on the Dewar
ranch had threatened to kill the family.
The fight resulting in the eight deaths
came after recent trip of the Berry iaml-
" to town. The father and four sons
were returning to their homes. Eight
miles from their destination they stop
ned to cut their way through wire
fence. The cowboys came upon them
Just as they completed the work. The
Berrys mounted quickly and the cow
bows fired. The eldest Berry, John,
was wounded, but stayed in his saddle
The farmers had the freshest mounts,
and soon were beyond accurate rifle
range. The cowboys kept up scatter
ing fusillade of shots. Arriving home,
the Berrys did not think they been
pursued all the way, and they were in
front of the house when the party OF
clwboys rode up the bill few yards to
the north. The shooting began i'm
mediately. Two Of the Berry boys
were killed before they could reach
their rifles. The old man and the other
two boys got inside the house. There
we're about twenty EcOwboys, and they
started on the gallop for the house, in
tending to fire it and burn the defenders
out The old man and the boys at
tempted to escape from the other side OF
the house, and were shot down in sue.
cession. Three of cowboys were killed
by the farmers while they were defend
ing the house.

SOCIETY THIEF EXILED.-Detected
in the act of robbing the lockers at the
Philadelphia Country Club, member
of this exclusive organization who is
well known in the social world of Phila-
delphia preferred exile to arrest and ex- :
posure. When caught number oI
marked bills were found on his person,

he pleaded to be released, promising
never to appear in Philadelphia society

CAN SEARCH HUSBANDS POCKETS.
Judge Fisher, of the Circuit Court Of
st. Louis, does not think that when a
wife secretly goes into her husband S
pockets and extracts money thereirom
She is committing an offense sufficiently
grave to warrant the filing of divorce
suit and granting of a legal separation.
The Judge gave his judicial opinion on
the subject yesterday in the suit of Julius
Hammer, against Mary Hammer, which
was contested. In Hammers peti .ion
for divorce he alleged Mrs. Hammer had
a penchant for secretly going into his
rockets and taking small sums of money.
On some occasions sums as high as $40
are said to have been involved. The
Judge. after listening to the evidence,
informed the contesting parties that a
divorce decree would be denied on both
bills. He said: "Unless you hold a
wife to a stricter code of morals than her
husband there can be no divorce in this
case. As to the charge that the wife
went into her husbands pockets and
took money, awife may be justified in SO
doing when she can't get it in any other
way. Such conduct may be annoying
to a husband, but it is too trivial mat
ter to be regarded as sufficient grounds
for the granting of divorce decree"
