A SHEPARD
 IN SKAGWAY

That Skagway has a Shipyard is not generally known,-yet ncverthc- less, of such a place she can truth fully boast. True the yard is not of very pretentious extension, but still the ships are built here in our city.
 As you walk out on the old Seattle whart. you will notice a rather hum ble looking building on the east side, You have only to take a second glance at the building and you will at once be impressed win the desire to look inside, and there is where you will find the ship. True, you will not find ship the size of the Minnesota, nor even the staunch lit tie Hcgg, but what you will find is the gasoline launch Superb" which .g entirely the handiwork of Capt. Louis Larson.
 You are at once impressed with the graceful lines of the little craft which is 30 feet long, and as the rather modest shipbuilder, Capt. Larson takes you in tow, and explains the differ cnt points of construction, you are more and more impressed with the skill. knowledge of ship building and workmanship of the gallant captain
 He tells in his own way, using Inany nautical terms, how the frame cf the boat is made entirely of the best selected white oak, and all the fastenings are of copper, rivited over Eurrs of the same metal. In fact the captain seems to take pride in the fact that there is nothing but brass and copper fastenings used in the entire craft. He dwellS on the facts that she is pointed torpedo stern pattern. with a beam of seven feet, while her depth amidships is 42 inches, and her draft when loaded with a merry cargo of about 20 per. sons will be just 2l& feet, she has 9 5inches freeboard amidships and AZ inches for'ard, while abaft the main hatch, or some where in that local ity, she has a freeboard of an even yard. When he gets to talking about the lee scuppers, and the keelsto'n, and other nautical points of the lit tie boat, you will have to take his word for it, and his word should be good. for there is enough in sight to show that there has been spared neither skill nor judgment in the se- lection of the materials which had been put into the boat to make 1t like the Wonderful One Hoss Sheas" which was made to run altogether and that the weakest place must stand the strain" and that the weak. est" place is made just as strong as the rest. As to the final finish, were this little boat Pullman sleeper turned inside out, you would find no finer workmanship in finishing.
 The front doors of this little ship yard is always open to the public and the captain stated that just as soon as he had placed the 15.horse power Ferro engine, which is equipped with d reverse gear, in position, he will launch the Superb" and she will be put on the Skagway-Burro Creek run.

BENEFITS TRIAL
TO Be LONG ONE
ALLEGED WIFE SLAYER WILL
FACE JURY TUESDAY
BROKER SAYS HE is VICTIM OF
CONSPIRACY
New Evidence of Sensational Nature
Said to Be Uncovered in Case of
Man Charged with Poison-
ing Spouse

A trial which is expected to last ten
days or more and in which many SEN
sational features will develop on ac-
count of newly found evidence will be
begun in Judge Willis department Of
the superior court Tuesday morning,
when Harper E. Bennett, real estate
broker and insurance agent, will be
brought before jury to answer to the
charge of killing his wife, Eugenia
Thompson Bennett, the night of Febru-
airy 13 last year.
Bennett is still in the county jail,
where he was placed several weeks
after his wifes death, following the ex-
humation of her body and the alleged
disclosure of large amount of strych-
nine in the internal organs.
AS in the preliminary examination,
which occupied nearly a week in Jus
tice Ling's court, he maintained an
attitude of Indifference. He feels as
sured. he says, of his acquittal, con-
tending his present predicament is due
to a conspiracy to which the prosecu-
tion unconsciously has lent itself.
The purpose of this conspiracy, ac-
cording to Bennett, is the defeat in the
civil courts of his suit instituted
against the grocery company, from
which he demands damages of $4,000
on account of his wife's death, main
tanning she died from the effects of
ptomaine poisoning after eating chill
concarne purchased from the defendant
firm.
The evidence against Bennett during
the preliminary examination was, in
many respects, contradictory, especial
ly with reference to the statements Of
physicians, and Justice Ling in holding
him to answer to the superior court
expressed this view of the case, stat
ing, however, there was sufficient evil
dence to establish a motive for the
crime, and that the best interests of
all concerned demanded trial before
a jury.
What was regarded as the strongest
motive actuating Bennett in the crime
with which he is charged was the in
fatuation he Is believed to have enter
tanned for Mrs. "Midge" Molster, wife
of street car conductor who deserted
her husband to go with Bennett to San
Diego following Mrs. Benefits death. I
1t was stated by G. C. McComas, as
slstant district attorney, who will con-
duct the prosecution, that additional
evidence has been obtained against
Bennett since the preliminary examina-
tion. Bennett will be defended by At
torneys j. c. Drake and Col. Thomas
Johnson.
