CHEAPER TO SHIP
BY MOTOR TRUCK LINE

Discovering that shipping by motor
truck is not only cheaper but consid-
erably quicker than via railway freight,
the produce merchants, Racklind &
Farber, of Chicago and Indianapolis
have inaugurated a regular motor
freight line between the two cities.
Racklind & Farber have big storerooms
In Chicago and indianapolis. Their
freight shipments in the past have been
large. Speed in shipping produce is
a necessity. Slow-moying freight trains
have often caused the commission mer
chants n heavy financial loss. Several
weeks ago the firm was unable TO Sc
cure a through car for a load Of goods
required by a Chicago hotel. a truck
owned by the firm was loaded with 2,3OO
pounds of perishable freight in Indian
apolis and the run to Chicago, 1856 miles,
was made in 13 hours. The truck ar.
rived at the hotel without the double
loading and unloading required when
shipment is by rail. The roads were
covered with snow and ice for the eli
tire length of the trip. The truck, which
was a Maxwell, made the journey with
out a bit Of mechanical trouble.
"The Maxwell truck performed so well
and is so extremely economical that we
are going to make the intercity freight
deliveries three times a week. stated
Racklind recently.

men Of Rawlins County. The Dewey
ranch was owned by c. p. Dewey of
Chicago, and was a much larger prop
erty than that owned by the Berrys.
A conflict Of interests, it as alleged
led the Deweys to buy up the cheap
lands lying within their range, restrict
ing the grazing facilities of the Berrys
and other small ranchmen.
Ranchmen in the district formed an
organization and demanded that the
Deweys cease purchasing land A feud
soon developed overt actions on the
part of each were charged between 1S9S
and 1908 Meanwhile, Chauncey Dew

sherffs sale was conducted on land
occupied by Alpheus Berry, and one of
the Dewey men purchased a water
tank. The following day the Dewcys
asked permission to remove the tank.

While the tank was being made ready
for loading, a fight started between the
factions which resulted in the killing of
Daniel Gerry and his two sons and the
wounding of two other sons, Beach
and Roy.
Cnauncey Dewey, with NJ. j. Bride
and Clyde Wilson, employees on the
Berry ranch. were arrested. So great
was the feeling aroused that the gov
ernor ordered a company Of militia to
transfer the prisoners to Topeka to
await trial.
After considerable legal sparring, the
case finally came to trial Feb 4 at
Norton. Kan. Both sides contended
that the other clan had started the
fight. Soon afterwards the criminal
cases We're dismissed and civil suits
were brought.
