Shipped Fine Cattle.

Mr., Il. fl. Fraser shipped a car
load of fine cattle from Berryville
to Jersey City last Saturday. The
cattle were fat and in excellent
condition and averaged 1859
pounds each. The price paid was
five cents per pound. Mr.. Fraser
says that the proper way to raise
cattle for the June and July market
Is To get your cattle i'm fair condi-
tion in the fall and then feed them
corn during the winter. The
usual procedure is To feed fodder
and hay during the winter. Mr..
Fraser's method is undoubtedly
the better, for he has better results
to show for it.

Bryan for Nominees.

Lincoln, Neh.. July Il. Wm.
j. Bryan today made the following
statement:
Il shall vote for Parker and
Davis. the nominees of the Demo-
cratic National Convention and
shall do So for the following
reasons:
First Because the Democratic
ticket stands for opposition To- inn
periahSm. while the Republican
ticket stands for au impcriali,ti.
policy. On this question. which
was the paramount issue I'm 1900.
and which must remain an mpor-
tant issue 50 long as an attempt Is
made to hold colonies under ,hc
American FLAG ON this issue the
convention was unanimous. the
platform emphatic. and have mo-
doubt that the candidate will carry
out the platform.
Second Mr.. Roosevelt Is in-
jecting the race question into
American politics and this issue. if
1T becomes national, will make it
impossible To consider economic
questions that demand solution.
The election of the Dcmocrat..
ticket will put q quictu~ upon th,
attempt and permit the racc quc~-
tion to work itself ou, without the
bitterness which Mr.. Boo~evelt's
conduct has cuycndercd.
Third Mr.. Roosevelt stand,
for the spirit of war. His friends
present him a> a man of blood and
iron. He believes i'm ~trcuuou~nc~~
and inculcates love for varlikc
things. The Democratic ticket
stands for peace. for reason and
for arbitration rather than for
force, conquest anl blu~tcr.
Fourth The Democratic plat
form declares in favor of the re-
duction of the standing army. and
as this plank was unanimously
adopted there Is reason % believe
that q Democratic success ON this
subject would bring ~omeadyantage
To the people.

Shot to Death.

The usual peaceful quietude of
Berryville was harshly disturbed
last Saturday night shortly after
10 o clock by the sound of several
pistol shots which emanated from
the saloon conducted by +. l..
Hamilton at the corner of Church
and Main streets.
n crowd quickly collected. and
1t was found that Ben Lippkin.
colored, had shot and fatally
wounded Dick Ellyson. another
negro.
80 far as has been ascertained.
there was little or no provocation
for the murder. There had been
trouble between the men in Clarks-
burg. W. Va, about two years
ago. and bad blood had existed
ever since.
Saturday night Ben approached
Sergeant Ricamore and told him
that Dick had been cursing him.
and was advised to stay away from
Dick and prevent the possibility of
trouble.
Later in the evening Ben bor-
rowed a revolver from another
negro and purchased 3S-calibre
cartridges at Wyndham's store.
Afterward he returned and ex-
changed the cartridges for 32-
calibre shells.
During the course of the evening
Ben remarked to a number Of
people that there would be trouble
that night.
y few moments after ten o clock.
Ben entered the Hamilton bar and
found Dick Ellyson and Charley
Ridout. also colored. drinking.
Ridout invited him to have drink.
which was refused. After they
had finished their drink. they
started out, and Ridout stepped
over TO Ben and asked him what
the matter. He replied that there
was nothing the matter with him.
Ridout and all the other witnesses
say no words passed between Ben
and Dick. but that Ben began
shooting at that instant without
provocation.
At the first shot, Dick started TO
run. and was struck twice in the
back, in addition TO two bullets in
the abdomen. He ran out Of the
door, turned into Main street and
ran TO Or. Harris door. where he
fell.
Lippkin made practically no ef-
fort to escape and was held and dis
armed 10y Mr.. Hamilton and his
bartender, William Carpenter.
After the smoke had cleared
away, an examination of the wall
disclosed one bullet imbedded in
the wainscoting and one in the
outer door. the witnesses testifving
To the belief that the first and last
shots missed. The poSt-mortem ex-
animation made by Drs Harris and
Osborne Monday proved that four
shots struck the victim. The
weapon was a 32-calibre double
action Harrington & Richardson
revolver, 6-Shot.
At the preliminary hearing
which was held Monday afternoon.
Judge Crow remanded the prisoner
To Jail To await the action of the
grand jury, The trial will proba-
bly, be held at the term of Circuit
Court which conveneS here July -.
In conversation with this writer
Sunday afternoon. Lippkin said
that he and Dick had trouble some
time ago, and that Dick had been
cursing him Saturday night. He
mentioned his conversation with
Mr.. Ricamore, and said that
finally he went into Hamilton's bar
and found Dick and Ridout there.
He narrated the same conversation
n stated by the other witnesses ex-
cept that he said Dick turned and
remarked with oathS, that he knew
what was the matter with him.
