y dispatch from Dodge City.
Kan, says: The appointment by
President Roosevelt Of Ben Dan,
ielS for United States marshal of
Arizona has occasioned surprise
and some indignation among old
residents of this city. The local
papers have dug up from their
files the killing Of of Il. J. Julian
by Daniels on April 16, 1885, and
characterize the killing as cold
blooded Daniels ran a saloon and
dance hall 1T the time of the kill
ing, and his enmity for Jul an was
occasioned by the latter's attempt
to have Daniels place abolished
on the ground that it was a nuis-
ance. The Dodge City Democrat Of
April II. 1856, says of the killing:
GAS Julian came out Of his res
taurant to get some money changed,
Daniels, who was standing in front
of his restaurant, began firing at
him. An eyewitness says Julian
started to walk away and Daniels
shot him in the back. Julian fell,
but the second shot struck him be
fore his body touched the pave
ment. While lying on the SIDE
walk Daniels fired two more shots
into him."
Five witnesses testified to these
facts before the coroner'S jury.
Daniels was held for felonious
killing. At the trial Of Daniels,
the Democrat says: "Daniels was
tried in the district court Of Ford
county. In those early days JUS
tice was very loose and it was a
hard matter to get jury that
would convict one Of the gang
Some of the witnesses who had
testified at the coroner's inquest
were gone and with fixed jury
for the occasion Daniels was ac-
quilted and soon after left Dodge
City"
Mr.. Hochderffer Of Sa afford, was
an eye witness to the killing, and
although he was on the spot and
witnessed the affair, was never
called upon to testify.
A Cheyenne dispatch says: An
examination of the Territorial rec
ords today resulted in the discov-
cry that Benjamin Daniels, recent
ly appointed United States mar
shall of Arizona, was convicted of
grand larceny in 1880 and SEN
fenced to term of three years in
prison.
Washington, D. c., Feb. l0.-1t
is practically settled here that Ben
Daniels will not be permitted to !
serve as marshal of Arizona.
The Department of Justice has
been fortified with ample proof
that Daniels is all that the news
papers have been painting him for
a couple of weeks past.
The commission of Daniels,
which was mailed to Phoenix, Ari-
zona, has been recalled, and no
doubt will be cancelled as soon as
it is received here.
The President is very much dis
Before leaving here
Saturday evening he had a | ong
conference with the Attorney Gen
eral and admitted that he had been
deceived and Inundated by Daniels.
He ordered the Attorney General
under no circumstances to permit
to discharge any Of the
duties of the office.
Daniels has not been heard from
for ten days or more. No one
seems to know where he is and the
prevails that he is hid
ng out, He probably fears to
with the President
knowing that the secret of his past
las been fully revealed.
