In this remarkable family there are
fifty-one children.
The Benhams are an aged couple and
live over the Salvation Army head
quarters on Seneca street. Not all
these fifty zone children are their own
however. Here Is the way the record
II made up:
Mrs. Benham has been married three
times. When she married her first hus-
oand, he had already been five times
wed and had twenty-fvec hildren. Two
were born Of their union, making a
total of twenty-seven children When
Mrs. Benham married a second time
she married man with sixteen chill
dren. bringing the total up to forty
three. Six were born of their union,
making forty-nine. Her third husband,
Mr. Benham. had no children, but to
Mr. and Mrs. Benham were born two
little ones. making the grand total
fifty lone, of whom Mrs. Benham, her
self. is the actual mother of but ten.
The Benhams have resided in Web
ster City only about a year, having
come here from the east. They are a
quiet and very reserved old couple
Very few people in this city are aware
OF the most remarkable record they

EldOra, Jan. 2O.-WOrkmen In re-
modelling an old culvert recently near
the small town of Hardin City. north
west Of 'Eldora twelve or more miles
unearthed some queer relics Near this
culvert In an early day was known
to have existed what the old settlers
called Hardin City Fort" and 1t is
believed that the fort was originally
built by some Frenchmen visiting this.
then far west country, for the purpose
Of forming colony.
The workmen who recently were
working near this old landmark were
compelled to excavate a quantity Of
earth in order to secure suitable
foundation for the structure about to
be built. When at a depth of two OF
three feet they found first an Indian
charm, made of stone and nearly round
in shape with a small hole in one end.
thru which stout string is said to
haye been passed and then fastened
around the redskins neck-theIndian
believing that this stone had virtue
in it to drive away the evil spirits
and to prolong life. Near the same
place where the charm was discovered
was also found several Indian arrows
and the bones of a human being. Old
settlers assert that it is more than
probable that the Indians who per-
petrated the Spirit Lake massacre later
moved southeastward. following the
Iowa river and camping near its dense
ly wooded banks. that they might thus
more easily carry on their horrible
traffic of murder and arson in this
then sparsely settled country.
To Dig For Relics.
Old settlers both near Hardin City
and in Eldora now recall the old fort,
tho it has been years since its passing.
