warned the sergeant that if the raid
failed Chief Ripley would learn all.
Dinny looked a t her in the rayless, foot

had scrappy-looking cock of the Irish

HAD GREAT NERVE.
Hunter Holds to Life Until His Wife
Comes to Camp.
Receives Mortal Wound While Hunt
ing Deer, But Never Loses Con-
troll of Himself.-Rides Mile
Back to Camp.

The recent death of j. H. Benham,
of California, illustrates the wonder
full nerve of strong men under the
most adverse conditions. Benham
and three companions had gone into
the mountains for days hunting.
They had climbed mountains and
crossed canyons and finally made
their camp on Eel river. On Monday
afternoon, while high up mountain,
Benham's hounds started fine buck.
The hunter braced himself against a
bush and was about to fire at the
deer when the bush gave way and al
lowed him to slide down the incline
about 100 yards. In falling Benhams
rifle was discharged, the ball passing
into his abdomen and coming out at
his right shoulder. Wounded though
he was he managed to crawl back up
the incline, where he shouted for
help.
No one heard his cries, and he then
discharged his rife till the magazine
was empty. One of his companions
came to his assistance. The wounded
man requested his friend to send for
his wife, realizing all the time that
his wound was fatal. The friend
went back to camp and secured three
mules, with which he returned to the
scene of the tragedy.
Without help of any sort Benham
rode one of the mules back to camp
distance of half mile. Another OF
the party then started for the near
est town for medical help and to tele
phone for Mrs. Benham. The mes
senger travelled in an nour and TWEEN
ty minutes a trail which had taker
the hunters seven hours to trave
when they were on their way to thei1
camp. A physician and Mrs. Benhan
reached the camp at three o'clock il
the morning, but nothing could bt
done for the dying man. At ter
o'clock that morning the party start
ed for home, IS miles away. The
wounded man was carried on a littel

Whole System Ceased Work During the Burial of
 C. P. Huntington.

Chicago, Aug. H-Every wheel and stroke of commerce throughout the great South ern Pacific system of railroads and steam ship lines was stopped for seven minutes today during the burial of Collis P. Hunt ington in New York. At the exact moment when the clock struck Il in New York, every hammer in all the shops ceased changing; engines paused upon the rails and steamships foated nfelessly upon the wa ter. In Chicago the offices remained closed all the morning and no tickets were sold or other business transacted until after the remains of the great railroad magnate were laid to rest. During the short suspen- sion of business, 50,000 men in all sections of the United States remained idle. Care full attention had been given to the dif- ference of time between San Francisco and New York in order that the observation of respect at each place might take place at exactly the same time.
 w. G. Neimyer, general western freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pa cifict, with headquarters in Chicago, today said that this was the first time in the his- tory of American railroads that there had been a total suspension of business on any system as mark of respect to the memory of any man.
