vived and the cases were tried in the
Sherman county district court at
Goodland. A jury in the district
court awarded Mrs. Berry a judg-
ment for $7,140, with an additional
judgment for $1.5S5 35 in favor of
William r. Berry. The jury allowed
judgment for the original sum con-
tanned in the stipulation and for in
terest from the date of dismissal of
the criminal actions.
Dewey's attorneys took the case
to the state supreme court. In decid-
ing the case today the state supreme
court knocked out every contention
made by Dewey for setting aside the
Sherman county judgment and or
dered the money paid to Mrs. Berry
and her son. The case is one of a
series of civil actions resulting from
the long years of Berry-Dewey strife
over range rights in northwestern
Kansas and settles the civil contro-
versy fifteen years after the sensa-
uonal killings in Cheyenne county.

Under the decision of the supreme
court today. a judgment of $4,000 in

judgment of ST. 900 in favor of William
Roy Berry is approved. Mrs Berry is
the widow of Daniel p Berry, killed
by the Deweys in the feud of June g.

The Berry-Dewey feud gave north

age suits resulting from the feud were
settled by stipulation. One stipula-
ton provided for the payment of the
S4,5 to Mrs. Berry and S 900 to Will
liam r. Berry within ten days after
the criminal cases were dismissed
from the court records.
Following the dismissal of the GRIM

stipulation. The federal court cases
were dismissed three years ago.
