Wood,® the most noted man in western Kansas, was brutally murdered by James Brennan. The murder of Colonel Wood is only one of a long list of tragedies that bave resulted from the notorious Stovent county- seat war, Today’s tragedy resulted divectly from the one immediately precoeding it, which has become knosvn the country overas “the Sheriff Cross murder case.” “Tho county seat wur wus waged between tho towus of Hugoton and Woodsanle. The latter was founded by Swin Wood, the vietim of toduy’s murder,who was the leader of taat faction which held that in the county seat clection that the the territory had boon ob- tained by fraud by the adnereats of Hugoton. Several ineffoctual attempts had been made by the Woodsdulo people to remove. tho county records from Hugoton to Wondsdale and establisi the county seat there. Oae day about twonty-fivoe Woodsdale men armed themselves and marched in_the direction of Hugoton. They were met by Sherift of Hugoton with a posse. In a parley which ensued the Woodsilo people said they had no_belligerent intentions and were going down to the Indian territory hunting. They marched down into the territory und Sherift Cross and his posse followed them. That same night a battle ensued between the two parties in which the sherf and five of his posse were killed. Most of the Woods- dale party were arrested on a w ot issued from the United States court at Paris, Tex., in the criminal jurisdiction of which is the Indian Territory. Tue trial resulted in con- viction. The cise was appealed to the su- premo court, where the verdict was roversed and the caso remanded for trial. The ense is still pending. During the trial at Paris, Tex., Brennan was one of the principal witnesscs for the state. m \Woog was ono of the d fendant's counsel and duriug the trial han- died Brennan without gloves. Breunan swore revenge, aud when he heard today that Woods was in town tie armed himself, and after a search found Wood standing on the court house corner, Without warning he drew his revolver aud fired four shots into his victim's heart. Wood expired without uttering a_word. Sheriff Cann attempted to arrest the_ mur- derer, but Brennan stood the ofticer off with his rovolver. Finally he surrendercd to Sheriff Weir of Morton county, who turned him.over to Sheriff Caun, Sam Wood wns very popular in Woodsdale, and when the nows of his murder reaches Woodsdale it is feared the people will scek revenge, and that the war _between the two towns will_be renewed. ‘The mu; dered man was prominent in the farmors allianco and was clerk of the lozislative con mittee in the lower house of the last logisla. ture.
