been laid up at Mare island for more than

whether the vessel should De allowed to

All sorts of complaints have been reg

THE BATTLE AT BULL HILL
A SquabbIe Over Pistol Causes Many

As All the Participants Are Killed or Wounded

DENVER, Oct. 20.-A special to the
News from Cripple Creek, Colo. says:
Town Marshal Dan B enton of Goldtield
was instantly killed this afternoon and
Frank Smith, Andy Coyle and Frank
Ste phens seriously wounded in a spirited
battle IN the little town of Goldfeld, at
the foot of Bull H i'll, in which rsvolvers,
shotguns and rifles were called into play.
A month ago trouble was caused by the
confiscation OF revolver by a police
officer. The weapon WAS the property of
Frank Smith. saloon keeper, who de
manded that it be returned to him. To-
day he and friend named Cook both
heavily armed, again presented the claim
to Marshal Benton. who refused 10 give
the revolver up. The marshal and Deputy
Burt retreated to a cabin for the purpose
of arranging their arms. Smith and
Cook stationed themselves about q hum
dred feet from the door and awaited the
temperance of the officers. The marshal
and his deputy each stepped out, revol-
yer in hand. Benton called to the two
men to throw up their hands, and as they
did not comply, began firing. The battle
was short, though desperate, and the four
men kept firing rapidly for several min
utes. Boon Marshal Benton fell dead
with bullet through his heart, and
Smith went to the ground with two bad
wounds. A yell of pain came from Frank
Stevens. bystander, one of his arms
being almost torn from his body. Andy
Coyle had taken the part of the officers.
bullet hit his thigh. Cook and Smith
are in custody. The battle caused great
excitement over the hills.
