BENZ MURDERED
Conclusive Evidence That Dexter
Man Met With Foul Play.
SEVERAL TIMES WOUNDED
Suspects Of the Deed Were Fifteen
Miles Away at Time II is Believed

May Be Offered.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Aug. 25.-Coroaor
Watts, who from! the first has insisted
that the death of William Benz. Of
Lima township, near Dexter, was mu~-
dered, has been apparently justified
by the results OF post norton held
Monday.
Determined to satisfy himself and
the public as TO the cause and man
ner of the young farmers taking OF,
the coroner took DR.. Theo. Klingmann,
OF this city, 10 the scene of Fridays
tragedy, who, with DR.. Honey, Of DeX.
ter, made a very careful examination.
1t was found that the wounds sup
posed to have reen made by the ham
mer were more numerous and serious
than so far reported In addition TO
those already known about. they found
the skull fractured at the base, behind
the right ear, while on the left should.
er there was a confusion as from a
blow, and on The breast severe bruise
three inches IN diameter None of
these injuries, the surgeons think,
could have been made with the light
hammer thought have been used.
Another fact that tends to disprove
the theory of suicide is that none of
the blows on the face, heretofore sup
posed to have been inflicted by the
tack-hammer. severed an artery. and
because OF this 1t is argued that he
bloody stains found in the house could
not have been caused by the bleeding
of these wounds.
Another point in favor of the murder
theory has come 10 light II is now
claimed bloody water was found in the
sink. as if the murderer had washed
his hands there
AS TO suspicion, the officers are at
a loss The two men upon whom they
at first had been disposed 10 fix the
crime. II il proved a crime, were at
Manchester, fifteen miles away, at
about noon Friday. They put out heir
horse at Nisle's stable in that village
at that time. and at o'clock came back
10 the stable and tried 10 sell the rig.
Failing in this, they sent word TO rela-
tives TO come for II. and hired them
selves 10 a travelling show which ex-
hibited in Jonesville Monday.
Benz had been dead long enough,
when found at o'clock, for rigor NOR
It's 10 become established The fact
that his dinner was on the table where
he had partaken Of IL is considered evi.
dence that he was killed about noon,
so the suspicion attaching 10 the two
me nwho went TO Manchester fails UNI
less il can be established that the man
was dead at an earlier hour
Until the post norton established
the fact that Benz was struck VIC
lent blow from behind. the people Of
Dexter were generally Of the belief
that he had committed suicide. Opn-
ion is in favor Of the other theory now,
and it is likely a reward will be offered
for the apprehension OF the murderer

ROUND THE WORLD.
A Wonderful Trans-Pacific Journey Of
Six Months Via the Northwest
ern and its Connections.

In line with its we'll known
policy of development of trans
, continental and trans-Paciic
travel, the Chicago & North
Western Railway is now organic
ing a personally conducted round
the-woTld tour, to leave Chicago
IN October, visiting Hawaii,
Japan. China, The Straits Settle
ments, Ceylon, India and Egypt,
returning via the usual European
points of interest on the way
home.
The party will be most admir-
ably provided for en- route. The
railway trip will be made on lux
urious fast trains through the
great Mississippi Valley over
"the only double track railway
between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, River" and west via Dem
yer and through the mountain
wonderland of Colorado and Utah
The trip across the Pacific will
be on one of the magnificent new
Pacific Mail Cos steamers.
The trans-Pacifc traffic has
grown to such proportions that
the service has been improved
and elaborated until in many re-
spects 1t is said to vie with that
found on the finest transatlantic
greyhounds,
The trans-Pacific route is the
coming highway over which
American pleasure seekers will
travel for recreation and sight
seeing. Hawaii, Japan, China,
Australia and our own Philippine
possessions are full of interest
and the number of visitors to
these far away lands increases
with the increased facilities for
travel.
