Norton. Kan, March 21.-7Chauncey
Dewey and his two cowboys, Clyde
Wilson and William J. Mcbride, were
acquitted of the charge OF numbering
Burchard Berry by jury which had
considered theclS twenty-eight hours.
Chauncey Dewey, Il young millionaire
ranchman, went to Cheyenne county,
Kan, early III 1900 to manage the
Dewey ranch. Soon after his arrival
there he became involved in trouble
with the Berry family. who were also
prominent cattIemen.
In June, 1903, Dewey and his cow
boys went TO the Berry ranch to get a
tank that Dewey had bought in at a
sheriff's sale. The fued had grown
bitter before this time, and when the
Deweys started TO take the tank away
the Berry boys rode up and battle
took place between the two factions.
Burchard Berry was killed.

Been Confirmed.

Report OF q Japanese DeteoC IhaC hR NOG
Been Confirmed.
London, March 21.-Of rumors the
war in the Far East is prolific; of facts
barren Yesterday a telegram from St
Petersburg to The Dispatch said that
Admiral Alexieff telegraphed Friday
that he had received word from Gen
eraI Mishtchenko that the latter had
received news of the capture of a de-
tachment of japanese infantry and
several guns in Korea, north of Ping
Yang. and Chefoo reported Saturday
that private dispatch from MOOkden
relates that a battle had taken place
on the Yalu In which the Russians
claim to have captured 1900 japanese.
Neither of these reports is confirmed
at this writing from any source, and
the chances are against the truth of
the latter, especially. The Russian
VIadivostok squadron is still some
where unknown, except to the st. Pc
tersburg authorities, but the report IS
that il has sailed to join the Port Ar
thur squadron. Russian troops are stih
passing into Manchuria and Korea,
and st. Petersburg dispatch of more
or less authenticity says the czar viii
begin the fight on land with $4,000
soldiers at his disposal.
