ing Berrys ,
JDAIL IS REFUSED THE PRISONERS
Accused Men Will Do Taken to Jail
at Goodland Under Military Escort.
Defense Introduces No Evidence at
Preliminary Hearing ,
St. Francis , Kan. , Juno 18. Chaun-
-coy Dewey , Clyde Wilson and \V. J.
McDrlde , churgad with tlio murder of
the llorry 1'amlly two weeks ngo , wore
Louml over to tUo uuxt session of the
district court without ball. They
will bo taken to Goodlaud , where they
will await their trial. They will bo
escorted across the country to Good-
laud by the Osborno mllltla company ,
which has bcuu guarding them
throughout the tlmo since their ar
rest. Sheriff McCullough thiuks ho
can protect his prisoners , If the ml-
lltla help him take thorn to jail at
Goodland , In splto of the threats uiaclo
by ino settlers.
At the conclusion of the evldc'nco
given by the state , the attorney for
the Dowcys announced that the de
fense would not present any evidence ,
fearing that their cause might bo In
jured thereby. Justice Hall then or
dered the men committed to jail at
Goodland. Their trial will bo held
early In the fall.
Interest was manifested In the trial
all day because of the persistent re
fusal or the cowboys from the Dewey
ranch to answer any of the questions
put to them. Warrants are out for
most of the men called as witnesses
by the state from the Dewey ranch.
Ben Slade , a Dewey cowboy , became
angry under the questioning of Attor
ney General Coleman and Intimated
that It would not bo good for the at
torney to question him further , and
Justice Hall ordered him-s.qnt to Ja"-
Subsequently Slado and the others
eent to jail for contempt were re
leased , owing to the inadequate jail
facilities In St. Francis. Captain Cun
ningham has taken extra precautions
to ensure the protection of Dewey and
his men. According to the orders of
Governor Bailey , the militia can not
protect tbo Deweys after they have
been landed in jail at Goodland.
JETT AND WHITE MAY GO FREE.
Disagreement of Jury Is Expected at
Jackson , Ky.
Jackson , Ky. , Juno 18. It is impos
sible * to describe the anxiety here as
to how long the jury will continue Its
deliberations and as to Us finding In
the casesof Curtis Jett and Thomas
White , on trial for the murder of J. B.
Marcum. The preponderance of opin
ion still seems to bo that the death
penalty at least will not be given and
that the jury is likely to hang between
life imprisonment and acquittal.
There was more expression of opin
ion than on previous days , as the people
ple were attracted much moro by the
eloquence of the attorneys than by
the statements of witnesses. Curiosity
was also taken in ganlng at Mrs. Mar
cum , Mrs. Cox and the widows of many
other victims of the feud , who were
present to hear the final pleadings.
It was stated by residents who are
well acquainted with the people here
that there were present at least a
score of widows of feud victims , and
A they represented only a small part of
the bereavement of the county from
such causes. One of the first things
on the program was the giving of the
Ho In the court while ex-Judgo French
was making the opening argument for
the defense. Two lawyers were pre
vented from getting to blows by offi
cers of the court. After Judge Red-
wine threatened to send ono of the
attorneys to jail for contempt and
reprimanded another for using unbe
coming language , the proceedings con
tinued without any disturbance.
A hung jury Is expected , because
of the alleged attitude of two of the
members. As the case draws to a close
alarm among citizens because of the
probability of the troops being with
drawn is manifest.
Two courts were again in session
here. That of City Judge Cardwell
succeeded the arson inquisitions. One
faction has controlled the county
and the other the town offices. Owing
to assassinations and intimidations
the latter had become almost defunct.
Judge Cardwell had not held city
court for eighteen months until mar
tial law was recently declared. Llko
others in his depleted faction , ho had
been a prisoner in his own home and
unable to get { o his office. Meantime
Town Marshal Cockrlll had been killed
and his place never was filled. The
troops now make arrests , and It waste
to hear the cases of such arrests that
the local court was resumed. The
men who assaulted witnesses after
they had appeared before the grand
Jury In the arson cases were brought
before Judge Cardwell by the guards
of the provost marshal and convicted.
The fines and imprisonments Inflicted
are said to bo the first penalties for
the violation of law Imposed on feudIsts -
Ists for years.
The principal witness , B. J. Bwen ,
escaped with most of his family to
Lexington. As he has nothing to Icavo
behind him ho is now considered out
of reckoning , but thcro are other wit
nesses for the prosecution who are
also considered In danger.
Robbers Take the Stamps.
Doa Molnea , Juno 18. Robbers
broke into the postofllco at Rhodes ,
Marshall county , twenty miles north
east , and cleaned out the place of
every stamp In the possession of the
.postmaster. The loss will ba $1,000.
DEBATE IN THE COMMONS.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain Scores
a Personal Triumph ,
London , Juno IS. The whole oven-
ng session of the house of commons
was occupied with the discussion of a
motion to adjourn , made by thu lib
eral lender , Sir Henry Campbell-Han-
norimui , In order to obtain further
light regarding the government's po
sition on the preferential tariff ques
tion. The motion was finally rejected
by 252 votes to 132. The opposition
was scarcely moro successful than
heretofore in drawing the government
Into a discussion of the general
scheme of preferential tnulu within
the empire. Premier Ualfour and Co
lonial Secretary Chamberlain emphat
ically declared that the government of
Now South Wales was under no mis
apprehension regarding the attitude
of the homo government , and , In fact ,
the cabinet , as a whole , thoroughly
agreed with the sentiments of Vlco
Admiral Lnwson , governor of New
South Wales , whoso dispatch concern
ing the attitude of the New South
Wales government was the cause of
the debate.
The result of the debate la recog
nized as a great personal triumph lor
Mr. Chamberlain. The intention of
the liberals was to drive a wedge be
tween the colonial secretary and the
premier , who has throughout endeav
ored to maintain a noncommittal atti
tude toward the preferential tariff pro
posals. Instead of his attaining this
aim , the effect of the debate was to
drive Mr. Dalfour Into the colonial
secretary's arms , and practically com-
mlt the government to a policy of re
taliation.
A feature of the situation was the
changed attltudo of the conservatives
toward Mr. Chamberlain. Ho was
greeted with ringing cheers through
out his speech , and he himself were
the brisk and satisfied air of a man
foreseeing his triumph. Whether Mr.
Balfour was equally pleased at being
forced into the adoption of the colonial
nial secretary's policy is doubtful , but
it is recognized on all sides that Mr.
Chamberlain has immensely strength
ened his position and cut off any re
treat from a full discussion of his plan.
Rumors circulated in the lobbies to
-the effect that the debate would re
sult in the resignation of Chancellor
of the Exchequer Ritchie , the Duke of
Devonshire and other free traders in
the cabinet , but these reports were
not regarded seriously. It Is'rogardcd ,
however , that the government position
is more than ever precarious and that
nothing can delay an appeal to the
country on the question.
BLOOD RUNS IN RIVULETS.
Young Jews Parade In Russian Poland
and Are Brutally Beaten.
Berlin , Juno 18. The Tageblatt , In
advices from Lodz , Russian Poland ,
gives an account of disturbances
there. About 5,000 young worklngmen ,
Jews , paraded the streets in an order
ly manner , but as a socialist demon
stration. The police , in view of the
number of those engaged , called on
the Cossacks for assistance , and then
the police and Cossacks charged the
workmen , beating them with the flat
of their swords and fists , and merci
lessly continuing the beating after a
number had been arrested and were
helpless , and further beating them at
the station , where , according to the
advices , blood "ran in rivulets. "
It Is reported that ten young men
were beaten to death and that of the
100 who were arrested all were seri
ously wounded. Surgeons worked for
five hours sewing up wounds after the
fury of the pollco had been spent.
LOCKOUT IS NOW COMPLETE.
On Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Men Idle in New York.
New York , June 18. Ten thousand
employes of the George A. Fuller
Construction company were thrown out
of work by order of the company , thus
making the lockout In the building
trades complete. Whllo not joining
the Employers' association , the Fuller
company took this action on the same
grounds as those maintained by mem
bers of the association.
The 150,000 mon who are idle be
cause they are members of building
trades unions have been served with
the usual ultimatum that they will re
main idle as long as the individual
firms refuse the plan of agreement by
arbitration proposed by the Employ
ers' association.

Washington , Juno 17. The federal

Three Hundred Corpses Have
Been Found at Hcppner.
CITIZENS CRAZED WITH GRIEF.
Tear Madly About Ruins Seeking Per.
Ished Loved Ones Relief for the
Sufferers Is Promptly Giver , Cas
ualty List Not Reduced ,
Hcppner , Ore. , Juno 17. I attnmtcs
of the loss of llto by the cloudburst
differ widely , but thu number of dead
is certain to reach 300 , and It may bo
swelled to COJ , when all are accounted
for. One hundred and tun bodies have
been burled nul It Is known that ISO
moru nro missing. Still others , who
woio strangers In the town , are f > ui > -
posed to be among thu lost , Puoplo
are coming hero trom all directions
in wagons and on horseback , and the
work of recovering bodies and burying
thu dead Is proceeding n fast as pott-
elblu. A pall of devastation and death
hangs over thu razed homes , frantic' ,
half-crazed people nro charging about
the ruins , hunting for loved onus.
Dozens of families have been wiped
out. In the fifty-loot wall of water
which swept through the town dozens
of bodies were carried down Willow
canyon for miles. In the rush of sub
siding waters during the night cries of
I distress were heard in monumental
piles of debris and the first volunteers
i of aid worked like demons to hunt out
and find perishing wounded , but In
many cases It was too late by the time
they were located In the darknoss.
I The scene from the hillside over
looking thu town Is one of desolation.
Hugo piles of wreckage , in many
places fifty feet high , fill the canyon
for half a mlle below the town. As
the debris , which Is covered many feet
by mud , Is cleared away more bodli'a
are found. Immense boulders , weigh
ing tons , were rolled along by the flood
and deposited In the midst of the town
or lodged against buildings. An ap
peal has been sent out for aid , the
most pressing need being for men to
clean the streets and to assist In
searching the great mass of dobrls for
bodies.
I Several thousand persons have ar-
1 rived from outside places and an army
of men and horses is sifting great
wastes of debris. AThreo hundred bodies
ies have been /ound and there are
men who say the work Is only half
bocun. An army of women take
charge of the bodies ns they are borne
out of the wreckage by the men. An
arm , a log , a too , a finger , a lock of
hair , a tuft of clothing these are
harbingers of horror beneath the mud.
Babies and little children He there ,
burled with many a gash "or brulso on
their tender bodies. Forms of women
frequently come to light , bereft of all
clothing. The bodies arc berne to
Roberts hall , to bo washed and dressed
by women , to bo shrouded In coarse
white clothes , to he laid In rough wood
boxos. There Is no time for ceremony.
The floors swim with the half diluted
mud that drips from the victims , but
the living patter through It or swoop
It out when It gets too deep. Thorough
rough boxes go to the cemeteries , not
singly In hearses , but many at a time ,
piled high on wagons.
The whole row of houses next to the
creek was swept away. Spectators of
the calamity describe the structures
as falling like card houses. The
buildings were tossed about like bob
bins and most of them fell completely
to pieces. The town had perhaps 250
houses , nearly 200 of which were de
molished. The whole business part of
the town would have been swept away
had not the Palace hotel , a heavy
brick structure , diverted the current.
Houses on brick foundations fared
bettor than others , because the flood
could not so easily wash under them.
PETER IS' KING IN NAME ONLY.
Revolutionary Leaders Decide to Keep
Power in Servla.
Belgrade , Juno 17. The position of
King Peter I promises to bo little
moro than that of a royal captive. The
real government of the country will bo
a military dictatorship , under the lead
ers of the revolution , Colonel Maschin
and Colonel Mltschilitsch. The new
king is almost without any personal
adherents and the ruling spirits of the
army , it is thought probable , would
just as readily murder him as they did
bis predecessor should ho oppose them.
At the present moment the whole
country Is under military rule and al
though no prefects In the country dis
tricts have been removed , each is ac
companied by an army officer , who at
tends the prefect wherever he goes ,
oven to the telephone. This policy
has led to ono good result not a
single case of disorder anywhere has
been reported. Extremely forcible ar
guments were found necessary to re
press the radical aspirations of a re
public. The foremost advocate of the
creation of a republican form of gov
ernment was L. Jubomlr Schiokovlcs ,
editor of the Belgrade Odjek. Finding
him impervious to arguments , the con
spirators invited him to a dinner at
the officers' club last Saturday. Dur
ing the dinner his host told him that
unless ho agreed to support Prlnco
Peter there would bo one head less In
Belgrade that night. M. Schiokovlcs
yielded to the force of this reasoning
and accepted the situation. Ho is now
minister of justice In the new dynasty.
Geneva , Juno 17. It Is stated that
King Peter considers that as the
kupshtlna has voted immunity for
those concerned in the revolution , It Is
needless * for him to take cognizance of
the events that preceded the vote of
the national assembly electing him
king.
