Dewey, millionaire ranchman: Will
liam ]. Mcbride and Clyde Wilson,,
for the murder of Burchard Berry.
Dewey is the owner Of the largest
ranch in western Kansas. The Berry
family consisting of father, mother,
four sons and q nephew. lived seven
miles northeast of DeWey's head
quarters.
A feud existed between the ranch
men and the Berrys because the lat
ter, having had undisputed right to
the prairie for years, bitterly resented
Dewey buying up the land, fencing 1t
! in and depriving the settlers. of pas
ture, and they are said to have cut
his fences repeatedly.
On June 8 last Dewey, with several
cowboys, Wilson and Mcbride among
them. went to the Berrys' to get a
water tank, bought by young Dewey
at a sheriff's sale the day before.
Dewey has never disclosed what took
place. The Berrys, however. contend
that the Dewey force concealed them
selves behind stone wall and shot
down Burch Berry, Daniel P. Berry.
the father; Alpheus Berry, another
son. Roy Berry, the nephew Of the
old man, had a part of his jaw shot
away.
The selection of g. jury probably
will consume several days and the
hearing of testimony may not begin
before Saturday or Monday.
There are four indictments against
each of the defendants. Fourteen
lawyers are engaged in the trial, eight
for the defense and six for the state.
The trial promises to be one Of the
most celebrated in this. the state OF
famous criminal contests.

BRYANITES TO

Will Oppose Him and Try to
Keep Hill Out of Con-

From The Journa, Bureau, Colorado Building.

Washington.
Washington, Feb. 4.--Some interest
ing and important democratic political
gossip is going the rounds here re-
garding the situation in New York. 1t
is no. doubted that Bryan democrats
will openly oppose the nomination Of
Judge Parker. if necessary. and that
in Albany county they will strong
ly oppose the selection Of Hill as a
delegate to the national convention.
1t is said the Bryan men in New
York have formed a coalition with
Herrick boomers.
Opposition to Parker in New York
is founded OH the belief that if Par
ker is nominated Hill will undergo a
political recrudescence as the chief
patronage dispenser of the state.
After the March primaries in New
York. are over there will be q big
Jeffersonian dinner in Albany. G. A.
Towne, Judge Seabury and Henry
George will be the principal speak
ers. Hill and Parker will be invited
but 1t is not believed they will accept.
If Hill is defeated in the March pri-
maries it is conceded here that the
Parker boom will be unfavorably af-
fected. .'-. d So. ~-G

wheat mills Of Maryland Virginia and

these mills will not be able to%fill and
many localities that usually depend upon

E Practically all the wheat in Baltim ore
and vicinity is owned by Ganbrill, the

Millers in Baltimore are now making
large profits on flour and will probably
continue. but the wheat supply will soon
be exhausted and the mills will then have
to cease grinding and give their western

wheat here from the Vest. ~

Chicago. Feb. 4.-Screaming with
terror and with blood streaming from
a wound on her forehead, Mrs. Jen-
nine Hyland staggered out Of the
Pines, an apartment building at Pine
Grove avenue and Addison street, yes
terday afternoon and fell exhausted on
the sidewalk.
She told story of a bold assault
because she attempted to resist the
efforts of a fashionably dressed young
man to embrace her, and then became
hysterical.
The mysterious assailant is thought
to be the same man who has created
CONSERVATION among women and chill
dren in Lake View. The police are
said to know the man, but he has so
far eluded them.
The man seems to have mania for
embracing women and children. He
has injured his victims only when they
try to call for help.

in q Washington special to the Rec
ord-Herald says: Ratification Of the
Panama canal treaty before the end of
this month is the present program in
the senate. The fight on the treaty
is virtually at an end.
Senator German has failed in his
campaign so far as holding up the
treaty is concerned, and his effort to
discredit President Roosevelt and use
the isthmian revolution as a text with
which to convince the country that
the president is unsafe" appears also
to be in a state of collapse.
The speeches of southern demo-
cratic. senators in Endorsement Of the
presidents action have put a quietus
to Mr.. Germans hopes. Within a few
weeks President Roosevelt will take
up the difficult problem of naming the
Panama canal commission, the body
which is to take charge of the work of
preparation and construction.

that the assets Of the old company
had been transferred to the new COM
