FAMILY ANNIHILATED.
Father and Three Sons Killed In Bat.
tie With Cowboys.

McCook. Neb.. June 5.-Meager de-
tails of the annihilation Of almost a
whole family have been received from
st. Francis, Kan. 1t seems that for
some time there has been bad feeling
between men employed by the Dewar
Cattle company and a family named
Berry over the possession of certain
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.
Whether anyone on the opposite side
was killed or wounded has not been
learned.
Land had been taken up by Old
Man Berry as a homestead. The
fences of the cattle company inter
fered with his sage 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 DewaI
ranch had threatened to kill the ram

EARNEST APPEAL FOR HELP.
Million Natives Starving in kwangsl
Province, China.

Washington, June 81 Secretary
Hay has received a cable from Consul
McWade at Canton which says:
Governor Wong telegraphs me that
over 100000 natives in kwangSi are
starving and earnestly appeals for
help from American charity. All re-
lief distribution through the hands OF
American and British missionaries.
Sir Shentung Liang Cheng. the chi
nese minister. called at the state de-
partment during the day and was
placed in possession of such advices
as the officials had respecting the DIS
tress in Kwangsi The minister ap-
peared to be bewildered and was un-
able to suggest any measure of relief
for his suffering countrymen. Inc
state department, although not anx-
ious to embark in wholesale charitable
enterprises, will undertake to do what
it can in forwarding relief measures
and. without further reference to the
minister here, will itself transmit di
rectly to Mr.. McWade, the consul
general at Canton, any funds which
the charitably inclined people Of
America may choose to contribute
Mr.. McWade has already stated tina,

SAD SCENE OF DESOLATION

Kansas City, June 5.-A fall in the
Missouri Of nearly three feet from the

it is predicted the stage in the Mis-

AS the waters recede they are dis
closing q wrecked, slime-covered area
of FIVE miles square. 1t is conceded
by civil engineers who have investi-
gated the situation closely that the
whole Of the terminal system OF the
railroads In the bottoms will have to
be rebuilt, together with bridges that
alone, it is estimated, cannot be re-
placed at under from $5.OOO,OOO to
31O,OOO,OOO. In the work Of rehabili'
tation the greatest precaution will be
necessary to prevent an epidemic OF
sickness because of the utter lack OF
sanitary measures.
Sewers are washed out and must be
entirely replaced and even the pump
ing station, although it may be used
temporarily, must ultimately be re
moved to higher ground and q com
plete new plant constructed. At Con
vention hall, where several hundred
refugees have been housed since Sun
day, the sanitary conditions have be
come such that preparations are max
ing for the immediate removal OF tn
homeless. What to do with them Is
serious problem.
