MILLER GUILTY OF THE CHARGE
WAS UP AGAINST A GRAND LAR
CENY CHARGE.
jury Having Disagreement I'm Case OF
State vs.. ZufaU, Also on Grand
Larceny Charge.

The April session Of the district
court for Sherman county was con-
vened BY Judge Smith Tuesday, and so
much work has piled up for the con-
sideratiOn OF the court that IL will not
be finished until Saturday.
Tuesday was spent for the most part
with a call OF the docket. hearing mo
tiOns and other matters pleaded and
setting time for the trial Of cases.
OF the four criminal cases but two
have been finished for this term Of
court One case, that Of the state Of
Kansas against Isaac ZufaIl, charged
with grand larceny, is now in the
hands OF the jury, and it looks as
though there was going to be a jury
disagreement The case was given to
the jury Wednesday afternoon and at
this writing (Thursday noOn) no re-
port Of agreement had been sent to
the court
The case Of the state against Henry
Miller, charging him with grand lar
ceny, was completed yesterday when
the jury brought in a verdict Of guilty.
Sentence has not been passed and will
not be, perhaps, until the end OF the
session In the case Of the state
against Frank TrabIik, continuance
was secured until the next term OF
court, which sits in July.
The last criminal case on the dock
ct, that Of the state against Casper, a
cOlOred man, charged with burglary
and Jail breaking, was UP for trial
Thursday afternon, but nothing had
been done at this writing
The cases Of ZufalI, Miller and Trab-
lik grew out Of the theft Of the over
coats from a Rock Island freight car,
which has been told about in these
columns before Rock Island detec-
tives were on hand to assist the cOun-
" attorney and E F Murphy, the
Rock Islands local attorney in these
cases. The existence Of an affidavit,
which both Miller and ZUfalI signed,
relative TO the taking Of the over
coats, figured strongly in court and
bOlsteTed up the states case and put
the subscribers up against a rather
hard obstacle In the matter Of de-
fense, E s. Knight defended Miller,
and Q. L Sparks was appointed by the
court to defend ZufalI- Sparks made
a fine defense for ZufaIl, and while
he was addressing the jury, he spoke
SO cOnvincingly that at times he sway
ed some Of the Jurors to tears Sparks
honest face and plain and fOrceful
use Of language bids fair to make him
one OF the leading attorneys Of Sher-
man county.
Many Of the civil cases, having to do
with the title to land, were disposed

port Of which will be given next week

LIBEL SUIT CONTINUED.
Ofer OF Defendant to File Answer and
Go TO Trial Was Declined

The case Of n. p. Pitsenberger, a
Rock Island conductor, vs. The Good
land Republic, was called by the court
Tuesday. In answer. to te petition OF
the plaintiff, the defendant had fled
2 motion to have the alleged $1,000
damages set out in particular sums TO
indicate just where and how plaintiff
had suffered by the publication OF the
alleged libelous article The judge
held that the plaintiff could make a
general pleading OF damages, and the
motion was therefore Overruled-
Attorney Sparks, who was repre-
senting The Republic in court at that
time, then Ozered to file answer i'm
mediateIy and 90 to the trail Of the
case this week, but the offer was de-
cIfned by Attorney Murphy, counsel
for plaintiff. He said ne would want
thirty days in which to get ready TO
present the side Of his client.
The case was left in thic condition
Of suspense until the arrival on Tues
day evening Of another OF defendants
attorneys, Colonel L ". Colby OF Bea-
trice, Neb., who has a wide repUta-
ton as a lawyer in the western states
Colonel Colby and Attorneys Sparks
and Calvert are the lawyers retained
by The Republic to defend it against
the charge OF libel
Colby appeared in court Wednes-
day morning, and by agreement Of
counsel on both sides, the case was
continued until the July term, the
judge giving defendant thirty days in
which to file answer to iPtsenberger's
petition.

JOE BUSH SUES ROCK ISLAND.
GOodIand Engineer Asks SIS, 900 Dam.
ages=Scalded I'm Wreck.

Engineer Joe Bush, who was almost
fatally scaIded in a wreck about ten
miles east OF Goodland on the night
OF Nay 9, 1905, and who lay in a Co
dorado Springs hospital i've months,
has brought suit in the district court
Of Sherman county against the Chi
cagO, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
company, to recover damages to the
amount OF $4,000. The petition was
fled March 19. Waters & Waters Of
Topeka are attorneys for plaintiff
The Rock Island offered Mr.. Bush
$500 in full settlement, but claimed
that the company was not liable be-
cause OF his alleged failure 70 file
claim for damages within the specified
time laid down in the statute OF kan
sas-
The attorneys for Engineer Bush
differ with A A Graham, the Rock
Island claim agent, and assert that the
company is holding. 1t seems that at
the time Bush was injured there was
a statute in force requiring that in
such cases Of injury, the injured par
ty must give the company written no
tice Of the fact within ninety days az
ter the injury is sustained, whereas
Mr.. Bush did not give the Rock Island
notice for about six months thereaf-
ter. He was physically unable TO give
notice for several months after he was
hurt, but there is another point that
seems important Bush was hurt May
and on June the old law expired
and was succeeded by a new employ
ers' liability law, which latter law give
the injured party eight months time
to notify the company in writing. This
new law, it is stated, took no know
ledge Of the old one, which had been
dead for two months previous to the
ninetieth day after Bush was hurt
The question is, under which law does
the case Of Bush Gomez
Engineer Bush was in no way to
blame for the wreck which did him
so great injury, and now he wants
adequate remuneration for scalding,
which even at this distance Of time
renders him incapable Of work He

against the Rock Island but merely

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
CBy Sumpson).


Good baseball players are going TO
be a scarce article this year. The
wedding out process with the big
leagues has already been completed,
and in every case the men so let-Out
have quickly found berths with other
and smaller leagues. Never before in
the history Of baseball has there been
so many cities, large and small, cry
ing for fast baseball, but with little
chances to get the fast ones. If this
sort Of thing keeps on it means more
young and coming ball players will
make it their profession, as the re-
muneTatiOn will warrant it.
St Joe is still without a manager or
a team. and the few players who were
waiting for the team to get busy are
hiking to more inviting gardens and
poor St Joe is left in a fearful plight,
almost at the opening Of the Western
league season
The local ball situation is still in
the swirl Of indecision. Everyone
even got the nerve to enter the West
ern league If they would take US.
That's the proper spirit, but we would
last about as long as a snow ball in
hades- The Rocky Mountain league
sounds good, and makes US tingle all
over to think Of il, but It looks like
too strenuous a prop. for GoOdland.
There is no railroad nine yet This
league business has got them guessing
first What to DO when the situation
is settled they will be heard from one
way or the other.

LAWYER COLBY GETS JUDGMENT
AGAINST THE DEWEYS FOR s1O.-
600 DAMAGES.
Long Fight Of Berry Widows 70 Secure
Judgment for Killing OF Their
Husbands.

After having come in opposition
with fourteen Dewey attorneys at diff
/ ferent times and having been forced.
| on one procedure and another from
! the district court Of Sherman county
to the United States courts at Topeka
and St Louis, Colonel L W. Colby OF
! Beatrice, attorney for the poor Berry
people, secured judgments in this
term OF court, aggregating $4,000. It
was an heroic fight for what is right
with the poor against the rich-a long
and weary chase in court procedure
70 secure damage against Chauncey
Dewey and his men for the killing OF
old man Berry, his son, Alpheus. and
the wOunding Of another son, William
Roy. One case, that Of Burchard
Berry, also killed, IS still hung up in
the federal court, but Attorney Colby
says he viii have that back here for
judgment before long.
During this legal contest, represen-
tatives Of the Deweys have sought out
Mrs. Berry and offered a small amount
Of money to settle the damage suits,
but she has regularly declined, trust
ing in the ability Of her attorney to
round them up at last, and relying
upon his speed Cat his own expense)
to go from one court to another. Few
cOmplish this, either by ability or de-
teTmined faithfulness, but Colby is not
Of the quitting kind. He is always op-
tOmistic, enthusiastic, energetic and
for that reason, can lay hold Of vic
tory where others might see only dis
eOurag cement and defeat
At this term Of court no one ap-
peared for the Deweys, and Judge
Smith allowed judgments in the fol-
lowing cases:
Harriet N. Berry, administrative Of
the estate Of Daniel P. Berry, deceas-
ed, vs. Chauncey Dewey. ct al, judg-
ment for $4,5OO.
Viola G. Berry, administrative OF
the estate Of Alpheus W. Berry vs.
.Chauncey Dewey, ct al, judgment for
S4,5OO.
William Roy Berry VS.. Chauncey
Dewey, ct al, judgment for $1,000.
The first two cases were for dam
ages for the loss Of husbands support
and the last one for injury from q rifle
wound.
These amounts are poor cOmpensa-
ton compared with the inestimable
damage done, but so long as the blood
Of the slain has not been avenged
from a penal standpoint, the money
will help TO keep the wolf from the
widows doors.

The city election in GOodland Tues
day had a sprinkling OF ginger in it.
But the spice did not make any WY
faces. Both sides, as usual, expected
to win, and they worked merriIy on
until the closing hour Five automO-
biles running to and fro conveying
voters made Main street look like

carriages in the same mission mixed
in the fitting scenes It made one
think Of the city's ensign: Watch

banners shouted the names Of candi-

Two tickets were in the field: The
Citizens ticket, and its opposition un-

cuses had been held in time to allow
the Citizens nominees to be placed on
the ballot, while the Republican eau
Gus was held at the eleventh hour and
had to 90 by the way Of the blank
column, which was a severe handicap
The only sign Of equalizing the race
was the buttOn-hOleing process by the
handicapped faction a few days before
the Citizens forces took alarm And
then they made themselves busy as a
cIucking hen with newborn chicks
The women, once stirred up in pO-
Iitics. can put the men In the shade
when it comes to personal work Each
side told their story TO their friends
and never ceased so long as material
could be found to work on
And so was election day.
In the First ward, the voting place
was at the court house; in the Second
ward. at the waterwOrkss and in the
Third ward in the HargTaves build

after the excitement had started,

There was no issue in the campaign
as touching the enforcement or non

When Mayor Kelly's friends sought
