STAMFORD BERRY
DEFIES OFFICERS
Man Who Killed Brother in
law Seen Several
Times.
COUSIN IS ARRESTED
Sheriff Matthews and Four Deputies
Let Him Get Away-He is
Well Armed.

Stamford Berry, who shot and kill
ed his brother-in-law, Levi Henry, ir
Grant county, near jefferson Springs
ten days ago, still enjoys liberty
and according to reports from
that section is defying the officers
since the tragedy. A cousin
of Berry was arrested several nights
ago by Claud Young, merchant OF
Junette, Grant county, who with his
two drivers had been deputized Ds
Sheriff Matthews, of Sheridan, to aid
in capturing Berry, but the latter
made his escape at the same time.
Young says that several nights ago
after he and his drivers had been de-
putized by Matthews to capture Berry,
who was known to be in the neighbor-
hood, they went to the home of man
named Elkins, where Berry was sure
to come after dark. Sheriff Matthews
and four deputies surrounded Berry's
home, short distance away, prepar-
ed to take Henry's slayer should he
appear there. All of them were arm
ed for it was reported to them that
Berry was we'll armed and had made
the declaration that he would not b.
taken by any officer.
Shortly after Young and his two
deputies" arrived at the Elkins home,
Berry came through the dark woods
accompanied by cousin, whose name
could not be learned last night. When
they reached the fence surrounding
the Elkins house, Young and his men
threw their guns on them and ordered
them to throw up hands," Berry
turned and ran, escaping in the dark
ness, but his cousin was arrested and
taken to Sheridan.
A short time after this incident Ber-
ry went to his home, where Sheriff
Matthews and four deputies were in
waiting. Berrys wife had heard the
men around the place and had gone
out supposedly to notify her husband
of their presence and to warn him to
stay away from the house. Berry
went into his home, says the report
and not finding his wife, came outside
and yelled for her. The calls were Sc
loud, Young says, they were heard at
the Elkins home, but Berry was no,
captured.
Berry shot his brother law, Hem
ry, while the latter was at work at a
mill in Grant county. He and Henry
had had some words about Henry's
dog and later Berry killed the dog
Henry sued him and at the hearing
in a magistrates court the men ell.
gagged in a fist fight. According to the
story from Junette, Berry told the
constable that if Henry had made a
statement credited to him about me-
meaning Berry, he would kill him. He
made good his word and then made his
escape.

New Passenger Rate Over
Arkanas Roads Becomes
Effective Today.

Reduced Rates Out OF

According to announcement mae
from the office OF the Arkansas Ma

ii ally cl ses The strenuous legal
battle which has been waged between
the state and the rail- oaus eJe"

The rate applies, however, only to
intra-state transportation. Any one
may ride anywhere in the state at 2
cents a mile. but if he makes an in
ter state trip, it will be 3 cents Il
mile. The 2-cent rate in Missouri be-
came effective at the same time, and
passengers are being carried any
where in that state at cents a mile.
But when one rides from Missouri in
to Arkansas, or from Arkansas into
Missouri it costs 8 cents mile.
1t is explained that this is due to
the fact that the Interstate rates are

body While no statement has been
made officially regarding it, it is eX-
pected that this will be adjusted with
in the ensuing thirty days, so that the
interstate rate will conform tC the
rate prevailing in the individual
states.
According to estimates made by Gu
thcrities the railroads have received
about $4,000, 600 in excess fare which
should be refunded othe people,
since the appeal was taken. All is

few persons saved these coupons and
it is thought that the amount refund

taken in in excess fares.
The following are some OF the onc

at the local Iron Mountain office and
which affect Pine Bluff:
To Little Rock Sc cents against

have to write the name of the Dem

have rubber stamp, bearing Judge
Hays name, at every polling place in
4 the state and one of the most vigorous
campaigns ever waged by the Demo
@cracy OF Arkansas is being outlined in
Judge Hays behalf by party leaders.
1t is expected that United States
Senators James p. Clarke and Joe L.
Robinson and all OF the seven Demo-
scratic congressman from this state in
4 Washington will be called back home
and will stump the state in the in
Il terest of the Democratic nominee.

terminates the long period in which
the state railroads have collected pas
senger fare of one cent per mile IN
excess of the state law. After the
1909 legislature had adopted the two
cent passenger fare the two railroads
Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt, Sc
cured a restraining order against the
two-cent law enforcement. For per-
iod before this order was secured, the
roads had for a time giveE the two
cent rate but all returned to three
cents, pending the final issue OF the
suit: under order of court. giving d
rebate check with each passenger
ticket sold to be redeemed II the
higher court sustained the validity OF
the state rate.
More than a year ago. the roads
ceased giving the rebate checks. How
ever, every passenger who paid pas
senger fare since the granting OF the
restraining order and return 10 the
three-cent rate is entitled to re-
turn of all excess which can be es
tablished, for the effect of the decls-
ion and determination of the roads
to abide by the state rate law, is
that the excess fare collected was
without warrant of law. However !,
is probable that a very small per-
centage of passengers will be able te
produce the rebate checks or neces
sary evidence of fares paid.
