Three Men Killed In a Battle
With Cowboys.
BERRY FAMILY WIPED OUT
They Are Followed to Their Homes by
Cowboys and Shot Down-Three
Of the Latter Also
Killed.
(By Associated Press.)

SUPERIOR, NEB.. June .4-Three men
were killed In a, battle between cowboys
and family of farmers named Berry at
St. Francis, Kas. The cowboys were en-
ployed by the DeWar Cattle Company,
and there had been bad feeling between
them and the Berrys for some time.
Land had been taken up by old man
Berry as a. homestead and 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

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 n recent trip of the Berry
family to town. The father and four
sons We're returning to their homes.
Eight miles from their destination they
stopped to cut their way through a wire
fence. The boys came upon them just
as they completed the work. The Berrys
mounted quickly and the cowboys fired

but stayed in his saddle. The farmers
had the freshest mounts and soon were
beyond accurate rifle range. The cow
boys kept up a scattering fuslade Of
shots
Arriving home, the Berrys did not think
they had been pursued all the way, and
they were in front OF the house when
the party of cowboys rode up the hill
a few yards to the north. The shooting
began Immediately, 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
were about ten cowboys, and they started
on gallop for the house, intending to
fire 1t and burn the defenders out. The
old man and the boys attempted to es-
cape from the other side Of the house and
were shot down in succession.

NOT BUILD
The ARCH.
Committee Decides the Sum
Designated Not Sufficient.
REPORT TO ASSOCIATION
REPORT TO ASSOCIATION
That Body May Appropriate More
Money for Gudebrod Design. Can
Have Less Pretentious Arch for
Fifty Thousand.

The erection of an arch to the memory
of Jefferson Davis mas received consid-
erable setback In point OF time at least.
The special committee was in session at
the residence OF Hon. ]. Taylor Ellyson
from $3.50 o'clock last night until 1:O5 this
morning, and arrived a: the conclusion
that st was impracticable to build the
arch for $1,000" the sum set apart for
that purpose.
This body, which was charged with the
erection OF the arch. will SO report to
the Jefferson Davis Monument Assoc!a-
ton. When the association will meet to
determined. But the matter is again in
the hands OF the association. and it has
now all powers to act.
The arch which Mr.. Louis Albert Gude-
brod designed. and the committee repre-
senting the association accepted, cannot
be erected for $4,000. and not for sum
very considerably larger than that. IT
has been fixed a $4,000, but it was learned
last night that at least two figures had
been recently set, both very much In eX-
cess of the limit placed upon the building
committee.
Several courses are open to the Davis
Association. The body may appropriate
larger sum for the erection of the arch.
and use the Gudebrod design, or get other
designs and bids, and cut loose from the
present model altogether. 1t may ask
for designs and bids for an arch that can
ba erected for $4,000. 1t may discard the
"arch" idea entirely. as many hope they
Will, and select some other form for the
memorial
In all save one of these cases Mr.. GUIDE
brod's work seems to come to naught, A
member OF the committee said last night
that the action of the body did not neces-
sarily mean the rejection or non-use Of
the Gudebrod design.
1t will be determined In a few days
when the association will meet. Enough
money has now been collected to erect a
, fitting memorial, and 1t remains Just to

He Prevents a Very Disas-
trous Wreck Near Buchanan
ENGINES COME TOGETHER
BY Flagging One the Watchman Saved
the Lives of Many Passengers on
the Train-They Take Upa
Collection for Him.
(special to The Ttmes.pispatch., I,

BUCHANAN. VA, June 4.-There was
a head-end collision on the Norfolk and
Western Railway, about mile below
Buchanan. last night between the pas
senger train going north and a Hgh.
engine running solth. But for the quick
work Of William Barnett (colored), J,
watchman on the bluff where the wreck
occurred, the results might have been
disastrous. At the point where the
trains met there is a bluff on one side
OF the track. and a steep bank. with tho
river at It's foot on the other. When
he saw the trains approaching. by fran
tic efforts he tagged the engine and
then ran back to flag the passenger
train. Thc engine had time to stop and
begun to back when the passenger en-
glne crashed into it, but at greatly re-
Guced speed.
A HEAVY GRADE
The engineer could not stop on the
down grade In time to prevent the coll
lision. The fireman OF the light engine,
in jumping, was badly hurt, though not
seriously. The two engineers stuck to
their posts. and beyond being Jared.
were not hurt.
When the passengers realized the
danger they had been In and that their
lives had been probably saved by the
work Of the faithful watchman. they
showed their gratitude by presenting
him with purse amounting to over
$500.
WATCH BEHIND TIME.
The accident seems to have been due
to the stopping Of the watch OF Engi-
neer Hammond who was on the engine
going south. He had orders against the
passenger train, which was thirty-fve
minutes late. He was trying to make
the siding at Buchanan and would havo
had time to do so according to the time
of his watch. hut on investigation 1t
was found out that It had stopped and
was ten minutes late.
