INCREASE IS 1882.

state Asks Sherman County for SI,925
in Taxes.
The amount which Sherman county
must raise as state tax for the tax year
Of 1903 is 1926, an increase over 1902 OF
81, $50. This is the result Of an increased
state levy by the state board Of equali-
cation, and it is estimated that It will
bring a surplus OF $4,000 Of idle money
to lay in the Topeka banks upon which
State Treasurer Kelly, it Is charged, will
derive a handsome benefit from interest
on the deposits
But the estimate Of the state treasurer
and the auditor altered not, like the
laws Of the Modes aud Persians, and the
counties viii therefore have to touch the
pockets Of the people TO the required
amount The increase IN this county
from S6.O43 in 1902 to 1925 in 1903, is
certainly no small item, aud at once sur
rounds itself with interrogation.
The total valuation Of taxable proper
ty in Sherman county is S2.545,sI5, and
with a levy Of SIX mills in this county
would raise, if all collected, s9,274 The
county treasurer has already sent in
$500 Of state taxes. There is a surplus
of 8, 500 state tax in the county treasury
collected last year from property de-
linquent for taxes.

NOTED RAwLINs COUNTY CASE

VI. a. Wilson on Trial for Blowing Up
County Treasurer's safe.
The trial Of NJ. A. Wilson, charged
with blowing up the Rawlins county
safe, Is in progress at st. Francis. the
case being taken there by change Of
venue. Mrs Newsome, who knew some
thing Of the plan to rob the Rawlins
county treasury, has turned states evid-
ence, and from appearances has en-.
tangled Wilson IN a mesh Of evidence
from which it viii be exceedingly diff
fcult to eXtricste himself. Some love
letters between the two were brought
into court, and while full of eudearing
terms the reference IL them to "land
deal" Gland agent" etc, are supposed to
have other meanings Mrs. Newsome
was living In Oklahoma and Wilson
wrote letters TO her from Atwood. Col
Onel L H. Parker, Of DeadwOod, S. D., is
attorney for defendant, and Fred Rob
ertson- Of Atwood, is states attorney.
Ed Kelly, who was brought back from
Chicago to Atwood upon a charge Of
completely in the robbery, is thought to
be the man who did the expert work OF
cracking the safe. His trial will follow
that Of Wilson.
Wilson is a lawyer and has lived al
Atwood many years, and was county at
tOrDey Of RaElins county at one time.

TO BE TRIED IN NORTON COUNTY
CHANGE OF VENUE FOR sLAYERs OF
TIE BERRY FAMILY.
Chauncey Dewey, william J. Mcbride and
Clyde Wilson Must Answer Charge
Before District Court In Nor
ton County in February

Upon petition Of the attorneys for the
defense at st. Francis last Thursday,
Judge Geiger granted change of venue
to Norton county in the case Of Chsuncey
Dewey, William J. Mcbride and Clyde
Wilson, charged with the murder Of
three members Of the Berry family last
June. Court sits at Norton in February,
when the case win come up for trial.
The three men are still at liberty under
bond for $4,000.
Chauncey Dewey and his two COM
panions were supposed to appear for
trial Monday, December Z, at the open
ing OF the court, but it was in the fore
noon Of Thursday before they arrived in
st. Francis, and then only Fastening
there IN response to a telegram from
their attorney, John Hessin, saying that
the court had given them until noon,
Thursday, December 10. to appear and
failure in this would work the forfeiture
OF their bond.
The three men started from Man
haitian, coming west as far as Colby, and
going overland on horseback from there
to st. Francis. Before leaving Manhat-
tan, Chauncey Dewey hired a man by
the name Of Miller, an ex- pOliceman Of
Topeka, to 60 with them, and had him
secure for each of the party a rifle and
500 rounds of ammunition. Thus equip
ped they made the trip and met with no
hostile demonstration Of any kind, but
this precaution Of firearms perhaps has
its own significance in the mind OF a
man by whose lead the fatal shooting
began last summer. The voluntary tax
ing up Of the sword makes person sus-
picious OF his surroundings even when
danger is most remote.
What course the attorneys for the de
PENDANTS will pursue in January has n It
as yet leaked out, but if possible there
viii doubtless be instituted some legal
proceeding for the continuance Of the
case.

LOVE ROMANCE FROM GERMANY
JACOB SHOOK AND NARY KOHL JOUR
MY ACROSS ATLANTIC 10 HARRY.
Came From WurttsmberE at Requsst 81
nike 1Iangold Of This COunty-After
Arrangements for Home are Made
the Young Couple WIN wed

~Yes, Jacob, I viii 60 with You to
America to live,7
Then tell your folks, Mary, and If all
Is well. we'll be on Our way before long
70 my uncle's home in Sherman county,
Kansas, and viii join our fortunes il q
new country"
That is what happened In far OF Ger
many several months ago, and the re
suit was that Mr.. jacob Shook and Miss
Mary Mohl. Of Wurttemberg, Germany,
are now residents OF Sherman county,
and came to town Wednesday from the
home Of Nike MangOld, in Grant town
ship, uncle Of Mr.. Shook, TO do some
trading. But the young people cannot
speak a word Of English, and cOnse-
quently II. h Auer, who knew Of their
coming, kept a look out for them when
they arrived here three weeks ago, and
saw to It that they were taken to Mr..
Mangold's place, yesterday accompanied
the pair to the stores and acted as IN
terperter in making their purchases.
Mr.. Shook is a young man p years Of
age, and while he very naturally shows
the characteristics Of the fatherland,
there is still in him the making Of a
frstclass American citizen. Miss Mohl
is a short little lady . years Of age, and
her rosy cheeks and blue eyes give her
the charm that belongs to a German
girl.
A letter from Mr.. Mangold, a EidoEer,
to his folks in Germany, forms the back
ground OF the plans that brought this
young couple across the ocean. and con-
sequently improvements are being made
upon the MangOld home in Grant town
ship, preparatory to making 3 comfort
able home for all, and a little later, It is
understood, Mr.. Shook and Miss Mohl
viii be married, and will settle down to
farm life and to help Mangold in the
operation Of his ranch.
Mangold is a German and has lived iu
Sherman county for Is years. He is a
widOwer, and having DO children the
care Of his ranch and his big herd OF
cattle has not been attended with en-.
ough Of the poetic IN life to satisfy bis
hungering in this respect. And having
brother in Germany, MangOld wrote
saying that if his SOD, Jacob, would come
70 America he would pay all expense.
and take him into the business Of hi
ranch, and also added that If Jacob had
a girl he would like to have her come, too
And sure enough, he hit the nail on the
head Jacob had lady whom he loved
He at once fell in with the plan, and
the more ne thought upon it the more Il
/ gathered to itself the charm of romance
/ and one day he opened the story to Mis-:
/ MOhl, who could not think Of having the
/ big ocean separate them, said she'c
| come too. but not before being told thaf
1 the American uncle wanted the girl also
And so the whole matter came to a
/ happy a conclusion as could be imagined
j They enjoyed a happy voyage upon thl
ocean, are delighted with America. and
are going 70 help in the makiug Of tn
/ future Of Sherman county.

happens In St Francis or Atwood that
would be Of interest 70 the people Of this
county, and vice versa For example,
the Dewey Berry tragedy and the sub
sequent events corrected with II; the
robbery Of the RaEiins county treasury
and the following implication Of III. A.
Wilson. the arrest Of Kelly, and the trial
such things as these must be cOnsid-
cred as having more than an ordinary
interest for the people Of GOodland and
Sherman county. And yet while these
events are within from % 70 80 miles Of
GOodland. the news Of them is very slow
IN coming over the country, and when
the reports do reach here the details are
50 distorted that reliance can be put
upon only the main points Of the reports.
While this shows the condition Of
things 10 matters Of leEs, there are
many other transactions Of various kinds
that are hindered because Of the absence
Of direct and speedy communication.
AS before stated Atwood has cOnnec-
ton with Oberlin and Colby. and while
St. Francis may not have a direct line
with Atwood, through. the use CT a
stretch Of the Dewey private line the
distance can be covered. According to
a St Francis paper II. d. Spers, general
manager Of the Wrsy, Colo, Telephone
company, is trying to finance the build

Atwood. and il this goes through Wrsy

PRANK OF ST. FRANCIS MAN.
Thomas Wagner walks in His sleep 1T
Pueblo and Does Funny Things

Thomas Wagner walks in His sleep At
Pueblo and Does Funny Things-
The variety Of interest in Kansas
life ever keeps multiplying, and this time
it is the doings Of a St Francis man
while waiting at the union depot at
Pueblo, Colo, Saturday. and concerning
whom a dispatch from that place to the
Rocky Mountain News, says:
Thomas Wagner, Of st. Francis, Kan,
created a sensation at the union depot
about 1 o'clock this morning by his per-
Torrance as a sleep walker. Wagner
had just arrived from AlamOsa, where he
has a brother il the cattle business. and
desiring to 60 east on a Santa Fe train,
sat down in the waiting room to pass the
time. He soon fell asleep and later got
up and walked to the time table rack,
secured folder, went out Of the depot,
climbed over the iron gate, and from
there down through the yards among
the trains to the G street viaduct. He
then proceeded to climb one Of the piers,
which is built Of stone, and with cOnsid
cradle difficulty reached a point twenty
feet from the ground, when he proceeded
to post up his time table. He then
climbed down, went back to the station
and resumed the same seat.
His actions we're watched by number
Of passengers and by depot policeman,
who then proceeded to awaken him. His
surprise, Of course, can be imagined, and
be would not believe what was told until
he noticed the soiled condition Of his
clothing.
"He then went back to the spot and
tried 10 perform the same feat while
also made the attempt and failed. Mr..
Wagner states that ne did a similar trick
about eighteen years ago"
