A Growth Weighing over Two Pounds
Removed From Michael Kelley.
Michael Kelley, living hear Sharon
Springs, Wallace county, returned
Thursday morning from Ohio, III, where
he went some time ago to have q tumor
removed from the small Of his back.
The operation was successful and Mr..
Kelley feels delighted to be relieved
from the incubus. Sixteen years ago
last February he got a fall, by ventil-
lator CRATE being left open. In later
years a tumOr developed, which became
not only disagreeable but painful and
and rendering labor impossible.
The tumOr, When removed, weighed
two and one-half pounds, and required
a long incisiOn for its removal, the wound
being closed with seven stitches. Mr..
Kelley refused 10. take snesthetics and
stood out the operation, ever Of scraping
bis back bone, without a whimper. a
Doctor Sullivan, Of Chicogo, performed

Tried For IncorrigibiIitr.

Katie Stellges, aged u years, was ar
rsigned before Probate Judge @. L
Calvert Tuesday, charged with incor-
rigibility. The complainant was her
mother, Mrs. Jennie Stellges, a widow,
who made formal complaint to County
Attorney E. F. Murphy, who drew up
the papers and brought action under
the law, before the probate court.
The law provides trial for such cases
and their commitment, if boys, to the
reform school, and if girls, to the BelOit
Industrial school for girls.
1t is a sad case when a mother has tc
bring such charge against a daughter
of tender years, but cases frequently
occur when it is the only course that
even maternal affection can pursue, and
the law in such cases is certainly q wise
one.
After a hearing of the case Judge
Calvert made an order for her commit
ment to the Beloit Industrial school
where she will be taken by the Sheriff
in a few days.

SCHOOL IS ovERcRowDED.

Pupils Under Six Years ExcIuded-Tru-
aney Law to be Put Into Effect.
An examination Of the condition Of the
GoOdlaud schools in regard to the at
tendance brings out the fact that the
lower rooms especially are Overcrowded,
and it is believed that there are quite a
number in the primary room that are
under six years Of age and according to
the school law Of the state such pupils
are not allowed to attend.
Concerning the overcrowded condition
Of the school Prof. Mallory says: "As
our primary school is so full it viii be
necessary to remove from school all the
children who are less than six years old
except if child is now in school and
will be six before January 1, 1904, be
may remain"
The board Of education also wishes t
call attention to the fact that there Is
now a truancy law in force compelling
attendance upon school Of al children o.
school age. 1t matters not whether
absence from school is caused either b.
the scholar or his parent, he must at
tend school. Parents should make SURF
that their children are in school as TIT
law provides a penalty for keeping
child out Of school or allowing him {,
stay out. There is also a penalty 70
truancy and persistent hardness.

THE BERRY BOYS co FREE.
RELEASED AFTER PRELIMINARY
TRIAL FOR CATTLE STEALING.
Had the Kansas Grangers Been Held the
Decision Would Have Played an
Important Part in the Dew
ey Murder Trial

The following special to the Kansas
City Star Of Saturday is self-ezplana-
tory. The article is not definite as il
does not give the particulars as to the
lack Of evidence. Probably the young
men arraigDed were not the men who
sold the cattle 70 Kramer, and it may be
that the two killed. or the old man and
one Of the sons we're the parties who sold
the cattle. In the interests OF justice
it IS well that the stealing was not fixed
Cd the two remaining Berrys. However
the case may stand, cattle sad horse
stealing does not justify murder BY the
DeEeys. The special in the Star is as
follows:
Roy and Beach Berry, who we're ar
rested recently on the charge of cattle
stealing, were given their preliminary
hearing, and for lack OF evidence they
were released from custody. The Ber-
y boys we're charged with he theft Of
IL head Of steers from the Rockefeller
ranch 10 Rawlins county. The theft is
alleged to have taken place in Noyem-
Der, 1902, The Berrys are the surviv-
Ors Of the Berry family, three member
Of which were recently killed by the
Dewey ranehers. Roy, one Of the pris-
Oners, still carries his face bound Up to
cover the wound received in the Dewey
Berry battle.
The Berrys were apprehended near
Burlington, Colo, where they had
pitched tents and were living with their
families They said that they expected
70 take government land IN that locality
and start a ranch 1t was stated that
the Rockefeller brand 'OS' on the stolen
steers was changed on each animal to
BIB The cattle, it was said, were still
on the Kramer ranch IN this county, to
whom it was said the Berrys sold them,
and it was stated that the marks Of the
old brand were easily discerniOle. Il
was asserted that the cattle were deliv-
cred to Kramer in the night.
''The discharge Of the Berrys viii have
effect upon the Dewey murder trials.
Dewey and his cowboys are awaiting
trial for the murder Of three Of the Der
rvs. Had the Berrys been convicted Of
cattle stealing they could not have tes-
titled a. the Dewey trials. They we're
the only witnesses at the killing

A FAST TRAIN KILLS WOMAN.
NO 5, MAKING Up TINE, STRIKES HAND
CAR%WOEEN ABOARD.
Accident Occurred Near Falcon, COIO-,-
Occupants Of Handear Were on
Way to Church When Disaster
Came-WrOng Signal

Passenger train No 5, westbound,
which left here about lis Sunday
morning, ran into a handcar carrying
five persons, about three miles west of
Falcon, Colo, shortly after nine o'clock
Sunday forenoon, and instantly killed
Mrs. Joseph Roberts, Of Colorado
Springs, aged 50 years, and painfully in
iured her daughter, Susie, aged p years.
The train was an hour and a half late
and was running very fast at the time
Of the accident Mrs. Roberts and her
daughter had started on the handcar
for Fountain, in company with Mrs.
Roberts three sODs, for the purpose Of
attending church at that place. The &C
cident occurred in a deep cut and the
train was upon the occupants of the
hand car before they could realize the If
danger. The three young men were
standing up at the handlebars and were
able to jump in time to avoid being hit
by the engine. The two women, how
ever, were sitting down in front, and the
momentum Of the hand-car made it i'm
possible for them to get out of the way.
Mrs. Roberts was frightfully cut and
mangled. The train passed over her
body. cutting it in two in several places,
and the remains were picked up by her
son George in an unacceptable condi-
ton.
Miss Roberts right foot was caught
under the wheels of the engine and
crushed.
The Roberts family live in Colorado
Springs, and came there a short time
ago from Denver, where Joseph L. Rob
erts, her husband, was employed. He
was not on the handcar at the time of
the accident, and was almost Frustrated
when the news reached him.
Sunday morning No. 3 was late into
Goodland. The first section was pulled
by Engineer Mike Ryan with engine 523,
and Conductor Hunt in charge of the
train. The persons on the handcar had
a push car in front. Two Greeks en-
ployed on the section were sent ahead to
look out for the train. The train being
late, was running fast down grade, max
ing curves and WnlSLllDg at every turn
The Greeks were perched on a knoll,
made a wrong signal, understood by
both the engineer and the persons on
the handcar TO "cOme ahead" But the
blunder was made too late to be cor
rected.
Following this train was a second and
a third No. 3. Engineer James, who
runs out of GOOdland, says that when
he passed the spot, pulling the third
section, he saw the wrecked car and a
quilt spread over something beside the
track, which he supposed was a water
barrel. But on arriving at Colorado
Springs he learned of the accident, and
learned that it was the mangled body Of
the woman that lay under the quilt.

Two nIiIes q nIinute.


The fact that a speed Of 1858 miles an
hour has been reached on the ZOssen ex-
perimental road in Germany is interest
ing, but the engineers in charge are in
error if they think that this is the high
est speed ever attained. More than %
years ago a steam engine and car at
tached, both of light construction, we're
driven at over 100 miles an hour on a
single rail ssaddleback" road built by
Captain J. 7. Meigs, at Boston. Ten
years ago the Empire State Express ran
a mile at the rate Of 1928 miles an hour.
Two years ago a train on the Plant sys-
TEN in Florida tan FIVE miles in two
minutes and 80 seconds equivalent to
40 miles an hour.
Some experts think that while there
is no mechanical difficulty IN the way OF
running trains at the rate Of 100 miles
an hour or more, no engineer will be
able TO stand the strain Of such a speed
without a nervous breakdown. But with
a thoroughly protected track free from
grade crossings, with nothing to disturb
the mind, and with vibrations reduced
to a minimum, it may be found that a
train can be rsn at two miles a minute
with less mental tension than is caused
by half that speed tOday-When a speck
on the track a mile away may develope
within 80 seconds into a wagon load OF
people.

John ". Mccall, who lives about four
miles northeast Of Ruleton was in Good
land the latter part Of last week and re-
ported having Just finished threshing
5000 bushels Of wheat and barley, the
crop being raised BY himself this year.
The general average yield per acre, was
Is bushels and Of the total crop $500
bushels vas winter wheat Of the hard
red variety that graded No. ?, aud
weighed plump 80 pounds to the busheL
Mr. Mccall Is a thorough farmer and
seldom fails Of raising a crop. He pIows
the ground carefully for the winter
or puts it In on corn stubble ground that
has been thoroughly worked. Some Of
the spring wheat and barley was disked
or drilled in on old stubble fields.
A crop Of the size aud quality raised
by Mr.. Mccall is an object lesson and
speaks we'll both for the farmer aud the
soil Of Sherman county. The time is
coming, and not far distant, when this
county will be reckoned as being in the
wheat belt.
