ranchman, Went to Cheyenne county
Kan, early in 1900 to manage the Dewey
ranch. Soon after his arrival there he
became involved in trouble with the
Berry family, who were also prominent
cattlemen. Trivial misunderstanding
grew into serious differences, which
eliminated in the killing of Burchard
Alpheus and Daniel Berry in June, 1908,
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 a 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 imme
dately 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 was sent to as
sist the sheriff in taking his prisoners 10
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 acquittal will doubtless cause a
fresh outburst on the part of the set
tiers and it is doubtful whether Dewey
will ever return to operate his big ranch.

Consul Skinner and the other mem
bers of the party are in good health
and they speak enthusiastically Of the
reception accorded them by King Men
elk. On the way to the coast the par
ty saw one elephant and number Of
lions. but experienced no exciting ad
ventures.
During the visit Of the Skinner party
at the capital. King Menelik received
them, surrounded by an imposing as
semblage of 1000 functionaries. The
escort Of American marines established
a camp called Camp Roosevelt, which
attracted a great deal of interest,
The King made a personal inspection
of the camp which lasted for three
hours, and, after having witnessed the
maneuvers of the marines. he asked
one of the men for his gun and loaded
and fired it. This act on the part OF
the King pleased the visitors greatly.
The Americans were impressed with
the assimiiative ability OF the
Abyssinians. Consul Skinner says
that the country is being rapidly mod
ernized and that new roads. bridges.

lines are being constructed He con-
siders the Abyssinians the Japanese

He points out however. that the
postal and banking systems are defect

lieves that Americans will find large
