Oldahoman Is Wounded by
Man of Missouri,
WILL PROBABLY DIE
Won Affections of Woman
'Who Jilted Shooter,
Kansas City, Oct. 2S. Ross Sheridan, 28
years old, a well known and highly con
nected younp man of Independence, ilo.,
yesterday afternoon shot and it Is be
lieved mortally wounded "Writ" Berkey,
27 years old, of El Reno, O. T., at the
electric line depot at Independence. Both
men wera infatuated with Mrs. Clara Wil
liams, a handsome gras widow, daughter
of "Judge" Clive, of Independence.
Sheridan reached over her shoulder to
Are .at Berkey. He did not utter a word
before he flred. The woman screamed and
caught the revolver to prevent Sheridan
from tiring a second time. She placed her
self between the men and Berkey ran
across the street to escape Sheridan. He
entered Foster's confectionery store and
sank Into a chair. The woman followed
him and put her arms around him, using
many endearing terms in asking if he was
wounded. Drs. Wood and Hickerson were j
hastily summoned. To the doctors Berk
ey said:
"Am I badly wounded?"
"I fear you are," was the reply.
"Then telegraph my father, W. M.
Berkey, at Qeuda Springs, Kan., but don't
send any word to my mother, for this
will kill her."
City Marshal Parker was on the south
side of the square and heard the shot. He
ran to the depot and found Sheridan
backed up against a wall, holding a
crowd of men at bay with his revolver.
"This is the man I will surrender to."
Sheridan said when he saw the marshal.
He handed his revolver, a 38 caliber, double-action
weapon, to tho marshal and
started with him to the Jail. A big
crowd followed at his heels, but made no
threats toward him. Sheridan at first de
nied the shooting.
"I did not shoot, did L" he asked. "I
do not know who did the shooting."
When a Journal reporter called on Sher
idan in the jail he seemed to be as com
posed as any one. Asked to give his ac
count of the affair, Sheridan said: "That
fellow, Berkey, came up hero from El
Reno and for the three past days has been
making plays around that he would 'do
me if I ever spoke to Clara. When I went
up to him today I did not intend to shoot
him; that was not my intention at all.
All I wanted to do was to call him down.'
When he saw me he backed away from
the girl and made an effort to get a pis
tol from his pocket. xWhile he was back
ing away from the car, making a play to
get his gun out, I shot. I want to say
that he was at least thirty feet away from
me when I shot."
When asked if he knew Berkey In Okla
homa, Sheridan replied that ho was not
very well acquainted with him. Sheridan
seemed anxious as to the condition of the
wounded man. "Say, is he badly hurt?

Berkey, and his sudden return to Inde
pendence was caused, they say, by the
jilting. Mrs. Williams returned to Inde
pendence recently and then Berkey put
in an appearance on the streets of the
city. It was known that the two men
were jealous of each other, and the tales
that were carried back and forth
by their friends and others only fanned
the flame of jealousy. It was also known
that Sheridan promised his friends to
"take care of himself" in the event of
trouble. Yesterday afternoon the Wil
liams woman came up Osago street from
her homo and soon Berkey joined her.
Together they went to the electric line
depot, Sheridan spied them and they left
tho main street and talked together in
an alley near the electric line depot.
They evidently saw Sheridan and were
desirous of averting a meeting. When the
electric car rolled into the depot prepar
atory to switching they did not get on
at once as others did, but waited until
tho train ran down to tho depot.
After some hesitation the woman and
Berkey started to get on, but the gates
were closed. Sheridan then came up and
tho bystanders claim that without a word
he reached over the woman's shoulder
and fired. The bullet struck berkey In
the right arm, and passing through the
fleshy part, entered the right side near
tho fifth rib.
George Foster, Into whose store Berkey
ran after being shot, did not see the
shooting. 'After hearing the shot," said
Mr. Foster, 'some one ran by me and
walked very fast to the back of the room
and set down. I went out and saw Sheri
dan with the pistol raised as if looking
for somebody. I then closed the door and
the man that rushed by ma said: "Do
not let him in here; as he has already
shot me and wants to kill me."
A stranger attempted to stop Sheridan
on the sidewalk, but Sheridan threatened
to shoot him, too, if ho interfered and
the stranger, who refused to give his
name, left Sheridan alone, until the po
lice came.
When "Judge" Cllne, father of Mrs.
Clara Williams, who Is well known in In
dependence, was interviewed about the
matter, he said: "Clara has been down
In Oklahoma. This fellow, Berkey, was
down to tho house this afternoon and I
ordered him off tho place. I know nothing
about him, but I do know that he is a
'sporting man and I have no use for
him." . 1
Barkey kept his spirits up well after
stage, else he would be quite unable to
keep up his Incessant round of public
duties and private pasttimes with the
regularity and zest which he co'ntiues to
display. In spite of these facts, there is
undoubtedly an alarming premonition in
court circles, especially among the wo
men, that tho king will never live to be
crowned, which, however, baseless or
otherwise, Is having a serious effect on
trade. Tho favorite story in this connec
tion now current is that5a palmist told
Queen Alexandra not long ago that she
will never live to be crowned.
It Happened in a Drug Store.
"One day last winter a lady came to
my drug store and asked for a brand
of cough medicine that I did not have
in stock," says Mr. C. R. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario, N. Y. "She
was disappointed and wanted to know
what cough preparation I could recom
mend. I said to her that I could fully rec
ommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and that sho could tako a bottle of the
remedy and after giving It a fair trial if
she did not find It worth the money to
bring back the bottle and I would refund
the price paid. In the course of a day or
two the lady came back n company with
a friend in need of a cough medicine and
advised her to buy a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. I consider that a
very good recommendation for the rem
edy." It Is for sale by all druggists.
Horse Brings Home Murdered Master.
Plymluth, lnd., Oct. 2S. At daylight to
day, four miles north of here, the dead
body of Myers Beard, aged 19, was found
In a buggy, tho horso having carried
him to the gate of his father's farm i tnat a11 Proper and lawful authority be

Washington, Oct IS. Lieutenant Gen
eral Miles, in his annual report, gives
the total strength of the army at the
present time as 54,513, of which number
33,571 are in the United States, 4S.28S in
me -t-nitippines, 4,sn in (Juoa, tne re
mainder being in small detachments in
Porto Rcol, Hawai, China and Alaska.
He says it is expected that the force n
Cuba will be very much reduced and
hopes that the force in the Philippines
also can be reduced,
General Miles does not approve of th&
present organization of tho artillery
corps, saying that it establishes another
bureau in Washington. He believes in
the former regimental organization. In
speaking of the army canteen, which is
abolished by the army reorganization, he
says that no injury has resulted, and in
the main the law has been beneficial.
General Miles states his objections to
the management of military affairs in the
war department in the following lang
uage:
"While congress has made ample pro
vision for the management of military
affairs in the organization of the army
whereby the companies, regiments, bri-
euues, aivisions ana departments are
made the units of admiuistratlon and by
statute has clothed the officials not only
with executive authority, but with Ju
dicial powers and responsibility, yet the
tendency has been t oabsorb and usurp
the entire conduct of tho military estab
lishment in the city of Washington, and
especially in tho staff department. This
has been found most Injurious n other
armies, and Is one of the principal defects
in our own system. The evil has been in
creasing during the activities of the wars
of the last three years to an extent that,
in my judgment, requires serious consid
eration and I recommend that decentrali
zation be effected as far as possible and

that young Beard was murdered, but
there Is no clue to the murderer.

Sheridan was very uneasy as to the con
dition of Berkey, but when told that the
Friday, November 1st KSSLriSSi
took place, is the divorced wife of Ben
Williams. They have been seperated for
several months. She is quite a handsome
young woman. Soon after her sepe ration

comment. Sheridan did not seem to have
any business around Independence, but

with him -and when the crowd was shut
out and tho excitement died away, Ber
key commenced to droop. "See that I am
taken care of," said he to Will Aull, a
friend.
Very little is known of the wounded
man in Independence. From some of his
friends, however, it was learned that ho
was tho son of wealthy parents now liv
ing at Geuda Springs, Kan. When the
opening excitement was on he went to El
Reno and was there thrown into contact
with tho Williams woman. Her acquaint
ance with him proved an infatuation and
before she left Oklahoma, It is said, she
made Berkey promise to visit her in In
dependence and that was the occasion of
his visit to Independence. His friends
claim that Berkey often spoko of his
parents as being wealthy and seemed to
have plenty of money. They denied that
he was an all-round sport or led a sport
ing life. While in Independence, however,
his companions belonged to the class
known as sports and these arc looking
after him until the arrival of relatives.
Sheridan is the "black sheep" of his
family. For several years he was em
ployed at the Whigins ferry In St Louis
holding his place there through the influ
ence of relatives who had stock in the
concern. His early youth was spent In
Independence and amidst refinement and
cultured surroundings. His mother is a
widow and is highly respected, and it
was through her influence that many of
the scrapes of her son. Ross, were not
made public Mrs. Sheridan is now In In
dependence and the news of her son's
shooting affair caused her the deepest dis
tress and concern.
"Judge" Cllna father of tho Williams
woman, asked that the statement be
made that he nor his wife knew nothing
whatever abaut the alliances of their
daughter. "She has broken my heart,"
said tho old man in tears last night.
"Xow here, in in our old age. she brings
this fellow up here to add to our dis
grace. O, why did she not stay away
when she knew her conduct was not ap
proved of." j
Berkey was still alive last night, but
the physicians who examined him were
unable to stat whether he would recover, j
He is very seriously wounded. Dr. Jagez j
Jackson was called into the case last :
night and it is probable that if Bfrkey's
condition will admit of it he will be re
moved to Kansas City.
Charles Schattncr. a saloonkeeper of
this city, was in Independence last night
to see Berkey. He said Berkey was a
cousin of his wife.

As a portion of the army Is stationed
in the western part of the United States
and over one-half west of the Pacific
ocean, General Miles recommends the es
tablishment of a military school in south
ern California. He also recommends the
establishment of a war college In the
city of Washington.
General Miles refers to a number of
recommendations that ho mado in for

of the condition of tho army; also to or
ders he has issued during the year to
accomplish this purpose. He speaks es

Judge Hancey vacated a previous order

the consolidation act unconstitutional,
the court declared the people would not
