SHOOTING Of A
BRITISH SUBJECT
At JuareZ by Villa or His Men May
Force the United States to
Interfere

FL Paso, Feb. 21.-WilHam S.
Benton OF FL Paso, Scotchman, sub
ject of Great Britain, is dead. That
was confirmed by Gen. Pancho Villa
and was officially conveyed to the
widow here by United States Consul
Edwards of Juarez.
Mystery surrounds the report Of
the death. William Benton, cousin
of the dead man, confirmed the re-
port.
Benton was executed Tuesday
night after a trial in Juarez by a mil
itary court OF which FREDERICK Con
zales Garza was the head, according
to what appears to be a correct ver-
sion of the affair. The charge against
Benton was that he was implicated in
plot to take Villas life.
Villa left for the south yesterday.
Benton was last seen alive in Juarez
Tuesday morning. He was going to
Villas home and said he was going
to tell Villa what he thought OF
him. for the manner in which his
ranch, Los Remedio," in western
Chihuahua, had been looted by rebel
soldiers.
Instructions had been sent by the
American state department to Consul
Edwards to see that no harm should
come to Benton, the orders being
sent at the request of the British am
bassador The warning came too
late.
1t is supposed that Villas defense
will be that the man was shot be-
cause he entered Villas office and
started to draw a gun, although the
cousin says Benton did not go to
Juarez armed.
Benton had been in Mexico for
about twenty-five years. He was
about forty-five years old.
Benton and Villa had been &C
quainted for many years. Benton
knew him when as an outlaw more
or less accepted as part of the Mex
lean social fabric, the then bandit
crossed the Benton ranch west of the
city of Chihuahua. The ranch OF
100000 acres is considered one OF
the best in Mexico. 1t was we'll
watered, containing fine pasturage
and the owner was particularly proud
of his orchard which succeeding
bands of revolutionists cut into fire
wood. Benton paid s125,000 for it
but improvements were said to have
brought the value close to $1,000,
900.
1t was with the assurance of thi:
acquaintance behind him that the
Scotchman went to Villa with com
plant of the depredations. Yesterda!
Villa, who has consistently denied
that he had Benton in custody, told ;
reporter that Benton was armed
when he made his visit.
Friends of the ranchman asser
that Benton, while of fiery tempe
and ready to use fists, was of sobe
habit and never known to carry
gun. His great reason for going un
armed was his own knowledge of hi
temper.
In the course of the interview Ben
ton and Villa quarreled and Bentol
was lost to view of his friends
James Hambleton, an Englishman
and others, including reporters, ex
hausted every means of ascertainin
the fate of the missing man but ev
erywhere met with eyasions and de
malls.
Consul Edwards was the first t
learn the true facts. He gave Mrs
Benton only a bare outline of tn
case.

Haines, Dec. 27-On Wednesday evening, the church held christ mas tree exercises for the white Sunday school, under the auspices Of Dr. Craig, superintendent, Rev. Winterberger and Mrs. Winterbers- er. The exercises by the school children were especially good, and many little hearts were made glad by the presents brought them by Stnta Claus.
 The presbyterian hospital had d Christmas tree for the inmates and this relative to the number of 6S. The nurse headed by Matron Ray and assisted by Dr. Craig did every thing possible to make this a hap py occasion, and the presents were pretty and useful.
 On Thursday evening the natives had their Christmas tree exercises, also in the church, and the recit2- lions and songs by the children wer very good indeed and showed care ful and thorough training by Mrs, Walter Alexander and Mrs. Winter berger. The house was crowded cn both Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
 The Christmas exercises in the Arctic Brotherhood hall on Thurs day evening by the public school children was a feast for those for tunate enough tC be present. The primary department, under the man. agement of Mrs. A. F.

The higher grades un- der the management of Professor Ogden. also showed the same care ful training as the primary depart ment. The play entitled "WaitinG  for the Trolly," was particularly good, and demonstrated to a cer- tainty that we have good local tal- enL and do not have to go away from home for entertainment.

HAYNES NATIVES ARE FACING
 4 VERY SERIOUS CHARGE

Haines, Alaska, Dec. 2S-On
 Thursday evening Deputy United States Marshal Harding, while en- deavoring to arrest several drunk en Indians, was set upon and bad ly beaten, besides receiving slight | knife wound. After the fray the deputy marshal was taken to the post hospital, where it was found his wounds though painful were not serious. He is around attending to his duties as usual today.
 The row was a lamentable af- fair and is not entirely settled by The commissioners court yet. Jim Kanot was sentenced to three months Imprisonment and his wife was fined $100. Chas Mitchell, the Indian who cut the deputy marshal with q knife,. was held in $500 bonds to await the action Of the grand jury and Frank Joe, an- other Indian, had his examination before Commissioner Kennedy yes- terday afternoon. He was chars- ed with shooting with intent to kill, wound or main, and was also held to await the action of the grand jury, and his bail placed at Sl,000. There are two Or three other cases to examine yet.
 Frank Joe is a brother-in-law of Skookum Jim of Carcross, one Of the party who first discovered gold in the Klondike.
 w. S. Harding, the United States marshal, is getting a great deal of praise from the people here TOT the manner in which he handled the fight, for although he was cut with q knife, and hammered over the head with a stick of wood, he did not try to injure any one more than was necessary to make the arrests Although he was armed and woufd nave been fully justified in using his revolver, he refused to do so. If he had used his pistol for hts own protection it would likely have resulted in several deaths, but as it is there is no one seriously hurt. ...
