His Last Hope Realized
From Hid Suntiuol Gobo Mont
In tho first opening of Oklahoma to
settlors in 1889 the editor of this paper
was among tho many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine day
in April During his traveling about
and afterwards his camping on his claim
ho encountered much bad water which
together with the severe heat gave him
a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed
almost impossible to check and along in
June the case became so bad he expected
to die One day ono of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlains Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope A big dose was
given him whilo he was rolling about on
the ground in great agony and in a few
minutes tho dose was repeated The
good eiFect of the medicine was soon no
ticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight That one little bottle worked
a complete cure and he cannot help but
feel grateful The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this item

Dewey et Al Held for Murder Without Ball
St Francis Kan Juuo 10 UXM
Special to The TamuNp
Tho preliminary trial of Chnoncey Dowoyson
of millionaire Do woy of Chicago WJ McBrido
and Cljdo -Wilson cowboys is in progress at
St Frnncia Kansas
On Juno 3rd Cbauncoy Dowey McBrido and
Wilson at tho Berry ranch 16 miles south of
Bird City killed Bruco Borry his two sons and
wounded Roy and Beach Berry Tho cowboys
wero ambushed behind a sod wall aud shot tho
Berrys asthey rodo in townrds thorn Tho Dew
ey rancMs tho most extensive in northwestern
Kansas extending miles east and west north
and south They employ about 7i cowboys
The Borry ranch of 2r00 acres joins the Dewey
ranch 10 miles south of Bird City A bittorf col
ins has existed for years between tho Deweys on
one side tho Borrys and small stockmen on the
other
The throe Berrys wero slain nt the first volloy
Roy Borry was shotin tho jaw near tho baso of
tho ear and will recover and Beach Berry was
wounded slightly in the leg
Tho prisoners ore strongly guarded at St
Francis by tho militia from Osburu Kansas
company G second regiment Captain Cunning
ham in command Tho camp Is botween tho
court house and tho head of Main stroot At tho
trial in tho court houso before Justico I S IJall
tho militia forms a serios of ranks between the
public aud tho prisoners facing tho public
Tho array of legal talent representing both
tho defense and tho stato is perhaps the most
brilliant and able ever witnessed at any trial in
Kansas Attorney General C C Coleman of
Clay Center Kansas and General L W Colby
of Beatrice Nebraska are the leading lawyers
for the state assisted by Prosecuting Attorney
Hotchkiss of Cheyenne county Prosecuting At
torney Briney of Rawlins county Jacob Noblo
of Atwood Kansas and Prosecuting Attorney
E S Murphy of Sherman count Kansas Tho
defense has Senator John E Hesson of Manhat
tan Kansas W S Morlan of McCook Nebras
ka F E Harvey of Lincoln and Dempstor Scott
of Atwood Kansas
Intense interest is manifested in tho trial on
account of tho prominence of the Deweys the
local popularity of tho Berrys and the reputa
tion of tho attorneys veterans of famed legal
battles Tho trial bids fair to become one of the
most sensational and famous in the history of
Kansas
As this is oply the preliminary trial the regu
lar that will be held in the near future will
grently increase the magnitude of tho impor
tance of tho triple murder trial St Francis
has grown from a small town to a place of con
siderable importance as regards to population
Tho Eagle and St Francis hotels are crowded
cots are placed in every available place and
every residence in town that has a spare place
is utilized as a sleeping place Martial law is
proclaimed and every ono is searched for wea
pons and tho strictest search is made of every
one entering the town Peojle are driving in
from 75 miles around the town is filled with
cowboys frontiermon and sottlors The duties
of the militia aro arduous and numerous
The refusal of the cowboys to answer questions
on the witness stand prolongs the trial and sev
eral of them havo been jailed for contempt of
court The trial will probably last this week
It is dragging slowly along and numerous wit
nesses aro yet to be examined Sheriff McCul
lough and his deputies are kept busy day and
night Representatives of the press from Den
ver Topeka Kansas City Omaha and Chicago
are present sending dispatches to their papers
The wires from St Francis to Oxford are kept
so busy that it is almost impossible for points
between these places to get in on the wire In
terstate interest is manifested in the trial
The presence of numerous cowboys frontier
men and settlers make the authorities vigilant
that every caution and safeguard should be
taken to protect the prisoners from violence A
feeling of unrest undermines the general quie
tude and double guards and extra caution are
necessary to prevent an outbreak The situa
tion is critical and if tho verdict is favorable to
the prisoners it it feared there will be blood
shed and loss of life as the multitude is in sym
pathy with the Berrys
The state militia has instructions after the
preliminary is over to escort the prisoners to
the train the sheriff of Cheyenne county then to
take charge and be responsible for their safety
and then return to their homes at Osborn The
sheriff is instructed to take the prisoners to
some other county for safe keeping
Later It is reported that the settlers are
shooting the cattle and cutting tho wires on the
Dewey ranch and more trouble is expected
TnmiSDAT June 18 1903
Justice I S Hall of St Francis decided that
Chauncey Dewey McBride and Wilson are
guilty of the murder of the Berrys and as there
is not a safe jail in Cheyenne coifnty the pris
oners shall be sent to Goodland Kansas under
escort of the militia and remain in jail without
bail until the December term of court which
convenes the first Monday in December at St
Francis Kansas
After the verdict the settlers left town and St
Francis came to her normal state Gen Colby
drove to Benkelman to catch No 6 Burlington
Senator Hessen and Attorney Harvey took the
morning train for Atwoodj and Attorney General
Coleman drove to Goodland Kansas to catch
the Rock Island for Topeka
The militia under Capt Cunningham will stay
a day or two at St Francis then safely escort
the prisoners to Goodland Kansas Sheriff Mc
Culloch will take charge of the prisoners at
Goodland and if the jail is safe will turn them
over to the sheriff of Sherman county if the
jail is not safe they will be taken farther east
probably to Fort Leavenworth the national
military prison or to the state penitentiary at
Lansing
No trial of late has excited so much interest
or furnished so many distinguished members of
the bar and the regular term of court in De
cember will no doubt witness a gathering of
eminent attorneys and representatives of the
of the press
Red Willow County Prospects
J S McBrayer of McCook brought in two
loads of cattle from Custer county In speak
ing of his homo territory Mr McBrayer says
that they have no kick coming They have got
ten just what they have always wanted an
abundance of rain in the spring The soil in
Red Willow county is sandy and can stand a
whole lot of grief in the way of water Mr Mc
Brayer says he never saw crops look better On
account of the cool wet spring the first crop of
alfalfa will be a little light but as the ground is
iu such good condition it is thought that the
second and third will more than make up for it

been shipped out but the country is well sup
