in Less Than Four Years

n
Chicago. March e6-Raymond s Ben

He makes this statement in answer TO
charges of cruelty and lack Of support
brought against him by Mrs. Matilda
c. Benham. in a suit for divorce which
came up before Judge Brown yesterday.
Her passion for underwear. he declares.
has almost ruined him financially.
On top OF this charge Mr. Benham
brings others; that his wife married him
hot for love but for his money; that she
firts with other men: that she uses in
toxicating liquors; that she denied him
an invitation to his stepdaushter' we'd
ding, although he was afiN wards com
PEELED TO pay for the printed cards; that
she plotted against his life and that she
taught their baby TO say it did not like its
papa.
The charges about the underwear is as
ridiculous and crazy as his actions have
been for the last two years" said Mrs.
Benham almost in tears. when she heard
Of the charges which Benham's lawyers
brought forward.

widow with three children. and he had "a

she spent recklessly, as he claims. they
assert that he has failed to clothe the
step-children properly. He had a habit

revolver, but he was too late. Both
highwaymen shot almost at the same in

Yampai Gold Mines.

Seligman, and in fact many of the towns along the line of the railroad, are excited over the reported strike of gold in the Yavapai mountain country. The ore is in what is termed blanket and lies between lime and sandstone. As says from the ore runs from trace to BPS to the ton. Nearly one hundred claims have already been staked out and more are being sent in for record every day. The locations are in Yava- pal and CocOnino counties, just over the line from Mohave county. On the north of these mines there has been found many veins of experiencing ores, but none rich enough to handle profitably. Location work is being done on some of the newly acquired claims and the other claim owners will be content to lie back and await devel- opments. -Kingman Miner.

Arrested .. . s.fe.cr>oksr.

Dr. AlexanderJ. McIvor-T Tyndall, the famous telepathist, who has been en- gagged to give demonstrations of his mysterious powers at Bank Hotel Hall next Tuesday evening, has had some weirdly interesting experiences, one of the most unusual of which occurred in Seattle, Wasb., some seven years ago. The feats of the great thought-reader were the talk of the Pacific Coast, During conversation one night at the Panier Club, Hermun Hitler, then a prominent business man of Seattle, made wager of sl,OOO that Tyndall couldn't open his safe by reading the combination through his (Hiller's) mind. The wager was accepted by AL. Marks.then McIvor-Tyndall's s manager. Tyndall being securely blind-folded, the three started in the direction of Hiller's place of business, Tyndall lead. ing the way at break-neck pace. Arr irving at the door they of course found it locked. Instantly, without word being uttered, the mystic reached into Hiller's pocket and extracted bunch of keys. Selecting the correct one, he quickly opened the door, located the safe and in the, space of few moments the safe was open and the bet won. At this point new policeman on the force, seeing dim light in the rear of the office, and anxious to make record for himself, instantly conceived the idea of burglars, rushed in promptly, arrested them, and marched them to the sta tiOn, at the point of revolver. Here they were recognized by Chief Rogers and released, much to the chagrin of the new policeman.
