at the home of Alpheus Berry during
fight in which Dewey and ten of his cow
boys were pitted against all Of the
Berrys Dewey and his cowboys went to
the Berry ranch to get tank that Dewey
had bought in at sheriff's sale. The
feud had grown bitter before this time.
and when the Deweys started to take
the tank away the Berry boys rode up
and a battle took place between the two
factions. The whole country was inme-
diately in an uproar. Dewey and his
cowboys were placed under arrest, and
armed bands of settlers gathered to
wreak summary vengeance on them.
A company of militia 1as sent to as
sist the sheriff in taking his prisoners to
the jail at st. Francis, and all the way
the soldiers were threatened with attack
from the angry settlers who lowered
about the little army as it marched across
the prairie. For several weeks the Jail
was guarded by the militia, until the ex-
element had died down sufficiently to
make it safe to put the men on trial.
The acqvittal will doubtless cause q
fresh outburst on the part of the set
tiers. and it is doubtful whether Dewey
will ever return to operate his big ranch.
