continued to the outer edge Of

rig and carried him into the house.
Later we carried him to the hotel.
The crowd made no further effort to
do anything with me. l guess they
realized what they had done and they
had no reason for shooting Bennett
anyway
This substantially Is BENEFITS
story. We cannot say just how strict
ly he stuck to the truth, but Deputy
George seems to think the story is
about correct.
The village marshal Tom Willis was
sick the day OF the shooting and ap-
pointed Sheridan an officer in his
stead. After the death Of Bennett
Deputy George went again to Glen.
burn and placed under arrest Chester
Harris and Mr.. Sheridan and they
are now in the county Jail
At the inquest held Monday after
noon about twenty Glenburn citizens
attended and little different version
Of the STORY was brot out.
It seems that Brooks had been a
student Of a correspondence detective
school, which teaches man all about
the art Of Sherlock Holmes for fifteen
dollars. He swore on the stand that
he had sworn out a warrant of arrest
for three Glenburn piggers but agreed
to let the matter drop upon payment
OF fifteen dollars. This they refused
to give.
It was shown at the inquest thlt
Brooks and Bennett became drunk
and their team was taken to the liv-
cry stable. They called for the team
and refused to pay the liveryman OH
the grounds that they did not put the
horses In the barn. Trouble followed
and the two men began swearing and
said that they would shoot the first
man who tried to arrest them.
DR.. Ringo testified that the man
died Of tromatic delirium, caused by
the shock to system overloaded with
intoxicants. He stated that the bull
let had passed thru the liver, and said
the man would not have died had it
not been for the wound.
The jury, which consisted of G. d.
Shaft, John Wallin and J. H. Temp.
kins, found the verdict that the man
had come to his death from shot
fired by some member of the crowd
in pursuit.
Bennett was 81 years of age and un-
married. His father arrived from
Devils Lake Monday and made ar
rangements for the burial of the body
in Minot. The remains were inferred
in Rose Hill cemetery Tuesday after
noon.

pmesteader lies cold in death, and
Chester Harris and X. A. Sheridan, two
we'll known Glenburn citizens are con-
vaned in the Ward Co. jail, charged with
Murder in the first degree and await
mig their hearing. Early Saturday
morning Sheriff Lee received report
from Glenburn stating that two rob.
Sbers had been captured at Glenburn
the night before and one Of taem had
been fatally wounded. The sheriff
sent Deputy George and Dr. Ringo to
Glenburn at once. They found Ben.
nett shot thru the back and lying at
the point Of death in the Glenburn
hotel. Immediately DR.. Ringo set at
work operating on the young man and
ascertained that the bullet from 3d.
Scalibre gun had entered the back and
Il passed through the abdominal cavity
lodging just under the skin at point
close to the navel. The bullet was re-
moved and the intestines. which had
been terribly cut by the bullet, sewed
carefully. Soon after the young man
was placed on board the train and
brought to Minot. He was placed IN
the hospital but Sunday morning at z
O'Clock, the grim reaper made his ap'
pearance and VIM. Bennett was no
more.
The unfortunate occurrence is best
told in the words Of Benefits friend
and companion, Ed. Brooks, who has
a claim north of Grano. Brooks was
not placed under arrest until after
the death of Bennett. but willingly &C
companied Deputy George to M1nos'
where he remained with his friend.
Brooks was seen by an Independent
reporter Saturday afternoon, and the
story which he told, but for which ne
will be responsible is as follows:

FIRES STARTED BY MOTHS.

Moths and flames are universally
connected, yet few people suspect
tllat danger Dsuld arise therefrom.
The insects are Of such frail struc-
ture that generally they get destroy
ed before it is possible for them to
inAict injury, and it is hardly cred
ible that the wings would ignite and
retain the flame long enough to en-
able the moth to fly to its surround
ings.
That, however, has occurred. The
moth was a very large one and its
wings must have been very dry, so
that when it houndered through the
flame il set fire to one wing and dart
ed on to a curtain near by, which at
once flared up. 1t is possible that
many sumnieg evening fires III the
country could be attributed to 1
source Of this ind. 1t is notorious
that mysterious fires often arise at
sunset in the hot months.

FROM A FLOWERY ROMANCE.

She was born in a garden spot
was in the bloom of her youth-her
lips were like petals-her path
streNn with roses-she was fragile
as a fower-blossomed into woman
hood-became a society bud-her
family were climbers-met him in
the conservatory-admired her ex-
otic beauty-she blanched like a lily
added another leaf to her life-he
wilted under her questioning gaze
tossed verbal bouquets at her-she
chung to him like a vine to an oak
he pressed her to his bosom-a worm
gnawed at her heart-he threw her
aside like a faded yiolet-dewdrops

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug,
"a. Cattle receipts last week were
a little larger than in recent weeks
but we're still short CT the normal
supply for this eason of the year.
The market made a small advance
on grass cattle, but medium grades
of fed steers lost 10 10 10 cents.
Buyers claim the grass steers are
killing out better each week, and
cost less money relatively than
medium fed steers. Owners have
been holding their cattle back
partly because OF good pastures,
and the impress on prevails that
we shall have heavy supplies dur
ing September and October. Some
traders also believe that demand
for feeders will not be as heavy
this fall as in recent years Of good
corn crops, account of the pros
poets of the high price at which
corn will sell. These are the pes
simistic views Of the situation, and
do not coincide with the judgment
of many owners, who hope for a
better market later in the season.
Run is 2l,000 head today, includ-
ing $500 calves, market slow TO Il
