SENATOR CURTIN
BLAMES BENSON
Charges Cavalry Officer With
Acting Spitefully in the
Yosemite Park Matter

Testimony was taken yesterday by
United States Commissioner Heacock by
order Of the United States Circuit Court
IN the case of State Senator ]. P Cur
tin against Captain H c. Benson of the
Fourth United States Cavalry. Senator
Curtin in his complaint asks for an in
junction 10 restrain Captain Benson
from entering upon the Senator's land
in the Yosemite Park Reservation and
from NEEDING with complainanCs cat
tie. He also charges that the defend
ant and his troopers have prevented
him from driving his cattle along the
public roads from one part of his pos
sessions TO the other.
Curtin testified yesterday that he
owned and had subject to his control by
lease about $4,000 acres within the limits
Of the reservation. such land, how
ever. not being part of the Govern
meEt reserve, although situated in diff
ferent. places within its boundaries. and
that the troopers had obstructed his ac-
cess and that OF his employees to the
privately owned lands controlled by
him as proprietor or lessee.
He declared further on the stand in
reply TO questions by Marshall B. Wood
worth, his attorney, that Benson's acts
were prompted by personal spite and
out Of a desire for revenge because
Senator Curtin in the Legislature had
opposed the cession of the Yosemite
Valley to the United States. Senator
Curtin said further that Captain Ben
son had Disseminated against his cat
tie in favor of the stock of other own
ers in that neighborhood; that Benson
had made a report to Secretary Hitch
cock. to the effect that lone Curtin who
had some cattle up there had gulled

pose Of lighting this case and that II

have 26,000 acres in one piece and Cap
tain Benson has prevented me from US
ing it. He has refused to allow me to
drive my cattle over the Big Oak Flat
road-a public highway since 1859. He
drew a deadline across that road and
a trooper told me that If / attempted
TO cross IL IL would have to be at the
cost of his life or mine that he didn't
like the job a bit, but he would have to
obey Captain Bensons orders. 1 told
the trooper that 1 had no desire to kill
him and that 1 wasn't anxious for him
to kill me- but that it was pretty hard
for me to be compelled to submit to
such an outrage"
r. A. Curtin, brother of the Senator
was on the stand for two hours reciting
the various aggressive acts Of the
troopers under command of Captain
Benson. He told of having seen on sew
eral occasions troopers enter upon the
Curtin land and drive herds of cattle
away. He also described how the SOL
diers block the roads which connect
portions of his brothers land and how,
by order of Captain Benson, they had
prohibited the use of the highways to
Curtin, his men and his cattle.
Deputy Fish Commissioner Thomas
Bishop testified that he had seen Ben
sons men release two head of Tim Car
Inns cattle while at the same time i'm
pounding Curtin's stock. On .one occa-
sion, said he, the troopers took lot
of Curtin's cattle to Wawona on a very
hot day and the animals were in very
poor condition when they arrived be-
cause they had been driven without
food or water.
At the request of Assistant United
States District Attorney Black the fur
ther hearing of the case went ever to
next Monday.
