Trial of Millionaire Kansas Catt1eman
Ends in Verdict Of Acquitta1.


Ends in Verdict Of Acquitta1.
At Norton, Kan, after celebrating for
twenty-eight and half hours the jury
brought in verdict acquitting Chauncey
Dewey aud his two cowboys, Clyde Will
son and William ]. Mcbride, Of the
murder of Burchard Berry. This ends
one of the most famous trials in the GRIM
inal annals of Kansas and which at one
time threatened to cause an armed up
rising in the cattle country. So strong
was the feeling against Dewey and his
men that the Governor was at one time
forced to call out the State militia to
prevent hostilities between the rival fac
tons.
A few years ago Chauncey Dewey ar
rived in Kansas from Chicago. lie had
plenty of money and at once established
a large ranch in Comanche County, buy
Ing several thousand acres of land and
surrounding it with wire fences. Set
tiers IN the neighborhood did not look
upon his enterprise with favor. He had
money and they had not and they fear
ed that he would eventually drive them
out of the country by buying all the
unoccupied land on which they grazed
their cattle and fencing it in. Many
times his fences were destroyed by the
settlers and there was more than one
clash between his cowboys and the small
cattle owners.
The Berrys, Daniel and his sons Bur
chards and Alpheus, were especially &C
tive in opposition to the young million
aire. Finally the climax came In the
early part OF last summer and In fight
between Dewey and his men on one side
and the Berrys on the other Daniel Ber-
ry and his two sons were slain.
The whole county was Immediately
in an uproar. Dewey and his cowboys
were placed under arrest and armed
bands of settlers gathered to wreak sum-
mary vengeance on them.
\ company Of militia was 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 I'M
til the excitement had died down sufti-
GENTLY to make it safe to put the men
on trial.
The acquittal will doubtless cause
fresh outburst on the part Of the settlers
and it is doubtful whether Dewey will
ever return to operate his big ranch.

INGERSOLLISM DYING OUT.
Rabbi Says Atheism Is Now Regarded
as Intellectual Weakness.

Rabbi Says Atheism Is Now Regarded
as Intellectual Weakness.
Replying to articles published recent
ly in London raising question as to the
success of the ministers of the world
in spreading the gospel, Rabbi Silver
man Of New York has declared that athe-
ism and agnosticism are now generally
looked upon as evidences OF intellectual
weakness: THE Ingersollian type" he
asserted, has almost disappeared from
polite society. There is a tacit under
standing that religion is an evidence of
culture and refinement and that 1t has
q wholesome effect upon the development
Of man.
"There never was a time" he contin-
ued, when men Of all shades of belief
were as interested in religious study, In
worship and practice, as to-day. The re-
llgious press has increased and is sue
cessful financially. Theological institu-
tions have improved and are better en-
lowed 1t is no unusual spectacle to see
rich men who devote their energies all
the week to making money teaching Bible
classes on Sundays.
'These evidences and others that could
be presented demonstrate that in our day
the ministers have certainly not failed.
They are a great social and even polit-
ical influence, for they exert that silent
ethical force that is effective In all so-
cial and government reform"

ian angular Cracker who was posing
for me. He had stood in various posi-
lions for over an hour. When l asked
him what should pay him he replied,
Wal, reckon nickel would do! I
shwed him the sketches and asked him
his opinion. Pears to me it's mighty
puddlin' business for a man ter be

REPORTS ON CHICAGO POLICE.
Investigator Declares the Department
Is in a Disgraceful Condition.

Al
"There is practically no discipline, and
the force could hardly be in worse
state" With these words Capt. Alexan-
der Ross Piper Omitted States army, re-
tired, former deputy commissioner Of
the New York police department, who
has been in Chicago for seven weeks,
investigating the Chicago police force,
electrified the members of the City Club.
lie was making a report of his investi-
cation. which was begun at the instance
of the club as a result Of the alleged I'M
due prevalence of crime in Chicago.
According to Capt. Pipers report, the
Chicago police are in a dsgraceful con-
dition of decentralization and inefiiciency.
Instead of protecting citizens from Grim
inals. the members of the force are drink
ing in saloons, playing slot machines or
cossiping on the streets. Patrolmen were
accused of taking ''to their holes" at ev-
cry opportunity, instead Of walking their
beats. Old and incapacitated were found
in soft snaps" robbing the department
OF active men, sorely needed. Wide-open
gambling was found by Capt. Piper,
handbooks running practically all over
the city.
The administration of the criminal
laws at the Harrison street police court
were found to be more like mob law
than ORDER Capt. Piper expresses
sympathy for the head of the Chicago po-
lice department and declares that Chief
O'Neill is IAN honest, overworked man,
doing the best he can with the tools at
his command" Police inspectors and
sergeants come in for rough handling in
the report.

Daniel ]. Sully, the cotton king, whose
failure startled the world, was a salaried

Earthquake Shock Lasting Three Sec

Earthquake Shock Lasting Three Sec
onds Stirs Up Several States.
An earthquake which began in st.
John, N. B., and is thought to have done
considerable damage in New Brunswick,
Maine and Massachusetts, shook Boston
at / o'clock Monday morning. The
shocks are said to have been the most
severe experienced III that section Of the
country since the memorable seismic
disturbance of 1854
In Boston and suburbs houses were
rocked like cradles, dishes were tossed
from shelves and furniture broken In
many homes At Augusta Me-, several
chinneys were knocked down. The
shock most severely felt in the .icinity
of Boston was at Revere, N"ashore
town. In that town several houses rock
ed so that the occupants rolled from
their beds, and at the telephone exchange
the operator Russell Clark, was knock
ed from his chair.
A policeman named McKenny, who
was in the headquarters Of the park po-
lice at Revere, was thrown violently to
the floor and slightly injured. Clark, the
telephone operator, says that he felt a
peculiar sensation all through his body
when he was knocked from his chair.
The shock was felt plainly as far south
rs Taunton. Reports from Manchester,
N. H.. and Springfield, Mass, state that
the vibrations were felt distinctly i'll
those two cities. Observers at the Har-
ward University astronomical observa-
tory in Cambridge noted the shock.
In Newburyport the earthquake shook
everything. Watchman Harris Page of
the Towle- Montgomery Company's plant
says the factory was shaken. In other
sections Of the city people were awak-
ened by the rafting Of doors and win
dows. Shelves and furniture were brok-
en- in many houses.
