SOUTHPORT

Not in a long time has the tides been high as on Saturday. They were over the docks and breakwater.
 lowing to the high wind of Satur- day the snow drifted in places and made some of the roads almost inn spaSsi ble. It took the breath out of autos that were out and many were stalled and had to be shoveled out "A trolley was held up near the Round House from 3 D. m. until 3 a.. m. owing to the storm. Plenty of snow fell to make good sleighing, but the 60 mile an hour gale blew it off the road. The trolley car snow shovel just piled the snow off on the road side causing 1t to be almost impassi- ble to go over them with a team of any kind. Many trolley cars were off the track between Norwalk and Bridgeport, on Saturday,. All trains due at Southport going east and west were very much behind hand on &C., count of the tracks being covered with thick snow.

Ell Paso. Texas. February 21.-The
record OF the court-martial OF William
! s. Benton. made public at Juarez late
| to-day asserts that the Scotchman was
present at his trial. that he was repre-
sented by rebel officer as attorney,
and was permitted to testify, and that
the session was public.
Ho was executed for attempted
armed violence against General villa,
declares the record. and was found
guilty of giving aid and comfort to the
enemy by giving them cattle and
forage, and by giving them informa-
ton.
Benton's friends on this side of tho
Rio Grande received the report with
snecrs. They pointed to their knowl-
edge of many years that he guarded
against possible serious results OF his
high spirit and temper by never carry
Ing pistol. The statements that Ben
ton was allowed 20 testify and that the
proceedings were public, carried no
conviction to the men who assert that
their friend was deliberately murdered.
The record opens with the state.
ment that an extraordinary council OF
war was convened at AIS o'clock last
Tuesday afternoon by Colonel Fldel

troops; having intimate relations with

Salazar), and considering the Consti-

Villa" the report continues. stated
that because Benton was O foreigner,
his property had not been conflscated,
but he must remain out of tho country,
because he was an element destructive

country.
