BENSON IS AFTER
 THE COUNTY SEAT.

That the county seat of Cochise win not be without bidders is shown from the fact that Benson is the latest to declare its aspirations for the prize. In kindly and graceful tribute to Tombstone the Press casts Benson's castor into the arena Ben son is unwilling to rob poor Tomb stone but if the battle Is forced will just simply have to step in and take the court house so as to stop all the sqnabbling. Incidentally the Press pays it's compliments to the Douglas ties who gre so actively advocating the claims of the Shelter City.
 This is the apology to Tombstone and the challenge to the field that Benson offers:
 'The Benson Press does not favor removal Of the court house rom pres eEt location at Tombstone, nor does ans other paper or person who is not actuated by mercenary cravings.
 "We would not rob the historic old camp of anything condueing to it's welfare while the location is an ideal one: public buildings are in excellent preservation and Ir would be foolish and unjust to say the least, to burden the taxpayers by such an imposition as is glaringly sought by tho two ele- ments on the border of the RepJblic of Old Mexico
 But when the battle begins 10 rage, and when NIT. J. N. Gaines goes forth to win his victory. he will find north ern Cochise county solid and i'm pregnable pbalanX. and of whose hon. or and integrity there can be no doubt: such men will favor Benson to the exclusion of very small ring who would make enormous pronts wrung from the cofTers of miners farmers. cattlemen. and others. When the contest is pulled on, Benson Will occupy prominent position in the raee-aHd come out winner ln the great county marathon"

MINE TAX LAW IS EEPERfM ENTAL.

EVIDENCE AGAINST
CULBERTS0N STRONG
WITNESS SAYS THAT HE OWNED
WEAPON LIKE THE ONE
USED IN KILLING.

Williston, N. D., Nov. 5.-Rela-
tives of Mrs. D. T. Dillon, who,
with her Husbands and daughter,
was murdered at their home near
Ray several days ago, attempted
yesterday to identify Cleve Gull
bertson, the murder suspect, as
Loren Marsh, Mrs. Dillon's first
husband, but they failed to do SO,
stating positively that Culbertson
is not Marsh, with whom they were
intimately acquainted.
Damaging evidence against Gull
bertson, however. has been un-
earthed by the authorities, who
have succeeded in tracing his move
rents previous to the murder.
Hah Gun Ten Days Before.
They have found that Culbertson,
week or ten days before the
triple murder, was in the northern
part of Williams county, and a far
mer for whom he worked there
has stated that Culbertson at that
time owned a small calibre revol-
yer, End empty cartridges used in
the kind of weapon described
were found on the Dillon farm.
With this evidence to base their
Investigations on, officials are con-
fident that they will be able to find
additional facts that will bear out
the esupposition that Culbertson,
though protesting innocence, is the
murderer.
Under Nebraska Indictment.
From Dorchester, Neb., .Culbert-
sons former home, it has been
learned that he is under Indictment
there charging obtaining money un-
der false pretenses while his wife
and children have been county
charges for some time.
Money Missing From Purse.
Still the authorities are without
the remotest motive for the crime,
unless the fact that about s25 is
missing from Mrs. Dillon's purse
accounts for the horrible murders.
The fact that such money is miss
ing has just come to light recently,
but officials, it is believed, have
definite proof of the amount in her
purse previous to the murder, and
1t was all gone when the ,inyesti7
cation was made, though the purse
was in its accustomed place.. Lit
tie money, however, was found on
Culbertson.
Was Not In Wiuiston.
Authorities have so successfully
traced Culbertson's movements
previous to the crime that they say
he was not in Williston at any
time, despite his statement to the
effect that he was there at the
times of the shooting.
Culbertson has refused to talk
any more, and simply protests inno-
cence when questioned about the
case.

While the moving picture show
was being put on at the local opera
house on Wednesday evening of
this week some low down person
who seemed to have little regard
for anything else except to be mean,
nailed, a stick of wood into the
exhaust pipe of the Leary dynamo
engine which furnished the light
for the moving picture machine.
This put a stop to the show for a
few minutes. Try as they would
those who went down to see what
was the matter were unable to get
the stick out, though they sue
ceeded in getting the engine to
running again with about half its
usual power. Because of its low
power the light at the picture ma
chine was not what it should be.
Chief of Police Miller was at the
engine in a minute after it stopped
and the person who did the. dirty
work must have done some lively
sprinting in order to got away.
Had he been caught, one night in
jail at least, would have been his
portion. @

THREE MEN DROWN
IN DEVILS LAKE
BREAK THROUGH ICE, WHILE
OUT HUNTING-TWO BOD
les RECOVERED.

Devils Lake. N. D., Nov. A.
Three men, one white and the 9TH
er two Indians from Fort Totten
Indian reservation broke through
the ice on Devils Lake while at
tempting to cross from the reserva-
ton to Bird Island and were drown
ed. The bodies of two men were
recovered from the bottom of the
lake late yesterday.
Frank Kelley, 35 years of age,
was the white man. of the party
and lives near Oberon, N. D.
He was hunting with Caleb Smith
and Victor Skunk, two Indians from
the reservation. In attempting to
cross the lake from Stony Point to
Bird Island on the thin ice, Kelly
broke through and the two Indians
were both drowned while trying to
save him. r. -
The authorities wirked desper-
ately for hours and late yesterday
were able to- locate the bodies at
tho bottom of the lake, finally re-
covering that of Kelly and Caleb
Smith but losing the third, it be-
ing fast to the bottom and although
brought twice to the surface, fell
off the hooks and the rescuers had
TO give up the work until today.
The body will undoubtedly be re-
covered some time today. The ice
was fairly solid in places and the
hunters evidently thought that they.
could cross to the island but there
was open water between the two
points and in the dusk of the even
ing probably got onto thin ice and
broke through. Cries for help
were heard by hunter on. Stony
Point but he could do nothing for
them. The boats used in hunting
for the bodies were badly crushed
by the ice and others will have to-
be used today. s,3

TELEPHONE FIGHT
ON At KENMARE
CITIZENS OF GOOSE NECK ANG.
Erred BY CONIPANY'S RE-
FUSAL TO MOVE POLES.

Kenmare, N. D., Nov. A tele-
phone war which has been smould-
| ering for the past several months
burst forth with vengeance here
since Nov. /, when most of the
citizens of the town vic have tel
ephones in their homes or places of
! business had them taken out.
Many Of the incensed and more
impatient citizens literally had the
instruments torn from their walls.
The trouble came about this way:
Some time ago the city council of
Kenmare asked the Northern Tele-
phone Co. to remove their poles
where they interfered with the new
white way. The telephone poles
are an eye-sore where they are now
situated, it is said, and spoil the
effect of the white way. for which
the taxpayers have dug deep into
their pockets.
Despite this respectful request,
the Northern Telephone Co. re-
fused to bulge the poles. The
citizens then started action to COM
pei the company to move the poles.
The company agreed to move them
after period Of a number Of years.
This disgusted a number Of the
citizens and the throwing out of
phones commenced, until now there
is hardly handful in use in the
town.
Victor Noble ON Minot, manager
of the telephone company, went to
Kenmare last night. He agreed to
enter into contract to remove the
alleged "eyesores" within one year
and later, If the white way is ex
tended, he will move the telephone
poles where they interfere with and
spoil the effect of tte new lighting
system. He explained that the
poles could not be moved at this
time of the year, owing to the
weather conditions.
The effect Of this agreement has
had a soothing effect and many of
the angry citizens are now ordering
their instruments back.
The contract is being prepared by
the Kenmare council today and
will be signed by Mr.. Noble.
