Bentley Found Guilty.

Clinton, Sept. 24.-Word comes from
Colorado Springs that the jury in the
case of Chester P. Bentley. charged with
fraudulent issue of stock of the Gold
stone Mining and Milling Company, re-
turned verdict of guilty, fixing his sem
tence at sixty days in the penitentiary.
Bentley had just finished term of six
months for obtaining money under false
pretenses, in connection with this defal-
cation. He will be tried on eight other
counts. This explains the mild sentence.
He over issued 100000 shares of the
company's stock. worth $4,000, squan-
dering the money in drink and gam
bling, to which he attributed his down
fall. He was secretary of the Goldstone
and several other companies. and ex-
pertly concealed his defalcations on the
hooks. He came here some years ago
from Warsay. Ill.
1t will be remembered that Bentley
was arrested here by the police about
eight months ago. He had been a fugi-
tive from justice about two months
when arrested He was taken back to
Colorado Springs by the sheriff of E!
Paso county, and after a trial was SEN
tenaced to six months in the pentlten-
tiary at Canon City.

Saturday in n corn-cutting machine,
while operating it thru row of corn.
He stepped off to observe some part of
the machinery, and in stepping over the
blade of the machine his foot slipped,
bringing the knife in contact with the
muscles OF his leg between the knee and
ankle with sufficient force to cut the
flesh entirely from the bone for dis
lance OF eight inches. Fortunately he
was driving a gentle horse, which
stopped at command, or the limb would
have been completely severed. DR.
Daugherty dressed the injured member
and he is now doing as nicely as could
be expected. This is the third accident
of a similar nature in Lucas county this
fall by those machines.
