A TRIBUTE TO BEN ARTHUR.
The Bismarck ssTribunc" Casts 9
Flower Upon thc Grave of
81 salt Like Boy.

Kinney Arthur returned to Butte last
Friday from Bismarck, Dakota, whittier
he went to attend the funeral of his
brother Ben. He received the greatest
sympathy and kindness at the hands OF
the citizens of Bismarck, as evidenced
from the following extract taken from the
Tribune of that city
1t is indeed very sad mission for the
young man, who arrived in the city last
evening, and he may rest assured the
sympathy of the entire community is ex-
tended. Ben Arthur was "a years of age,
and was far above the average man,
intellectually as well as physically. The
fact that he had been engaged in few
sparring exhibitions may have placed q
veil between him and the better element
of society, but conversation with his
brother readily convinces you that these
acts were simply manifestations OF boyish
pride, which was fostered and encouraged
by older and designingminds. The family
lives in Salt Lake City, where the de-
eased was popular among all classes. He
was born in Salt Lake City, February IA,
1861. In 1881 he went to Butte City,
where he obtained responsible positions
in the Bell mine. Here he also gained
hosts OF friends, and was Il favorte among
employers and employed. He had been
in Bismarck but few weeks before his
death, and during his brief residence
here won many friends. A mourning
brother y now in Bismarck, but who can
measure the grief OF the mother, who has
been watching and waiting for the return
of her boy?
