with the officers, as he was sure there
would be some hard fighting. He says
that the plan was to overpower the

Feud in Kansas Which Results in the
Death Of Six People.
A special from st. Francis, Kan,
says: In desperate battle In the
southwestern part of this county last
night between cattlemen and the fam
lily of f. M. Berry, six people were
killed and two others wounded, one
fatally.
The dead are: T.. M. Berry, owner
of the ranch; A. j. Berry. G. A. Berry,
and three cowboys. II. F. Berry was
probably MORALLY wounded, while Sam
Bury was seriously injured.
The Berry version of the matter is
that three of them were working Ill
the field and two of them at the house
all unarmed, when a gang OF the
Dewey men with Chauncey Dewey at
their head, rode up and deliberately
attempted to kill them all. Dewey al
legged that they went over to get wa.
ter tank that belonged to the lana,
that the Berrys opened fire on them,
and they did the killing in self-de'
tense.
There mad been bitter feeling be-
tween the Berrys and Deweys ever
since the Deweys invaded the country
About two vars ago the Deweys com
menced to acquire title to all the land
they could in the southwestern part OF
this county and the adjoining corner
of Rawlins, Sherman and Thomas
counties. The Berrys are among the
few who have stayed at their homes
and have been in continual litigation
II is said that Chauncey Dewey and
his men, two in number, did the shoot
ing. The Deweys belong to rich chi,
cago firm. They own thousands OF
acres of land.
