suffering from heart disease for some
time and went 10 Hot Lake not long
ago frum Portland, which had been
his home during recent years. Sunday
morning he arose and ate his break
fast, returning 70 hA room soon after
wards. Al . O'Clock an attendant
al the sapitorium called at his room
and found him dead In bed. He had
apparently been dead for half an hour.

Judge Benton Denies Re-
ports Being Circulated.
False Statements and Bitter At
tack Used in Campaign.
Powell Voters Were Not Advised
to Go to Polls With Guns.

1t seems that Judge Shackelford and
| tremes in their effort 10 stem the tide of
public sentiment that is going stronger
in favor of Judge Benton each day, and
are now circulating reports that are not
true and calling upon the men, whose
enmity Judge Benton has gained through
the faithful performance of his duties
1t is bad that such a course has been
taken by those who are opposing the
nomination of Judge Benton in that it
will do the parry no good but as for him
it is the only making him stronger.
In regard to the Clay City speech
Judge Benton denies that he advised his
friends to take guns to the polls 1t was
hardly necessary for him to make this
statement as everyone who knows him
would not think for moment that he
would make such statements. He also
answers the letter of Mr.. G. C. Wallace
which he is circulating over the district.
Mr.. Wallace, we believe to be an honor
able and honest man, but he cannot be-
come reconciled to the fact that his
brother has been found guilty of SER
ious crime in the the court over which
Judge Benton has jurisdiction and holds
him, it seems responsible for it all. a
jury of twelve men. who heard all the
testimony, fixed this sentence and the
editorial referred TO in this letter is used
simply as basis for the attack he has
made upon Judge Benton, it seems.
The story of money used in the race
made by Judge Benton against Judge J,
Smith Hays is also freely used against
him, but with little success. However
Judge Benton has stated 10 the Sun that
he did not use money in that election in
buying votes or whiskey. In all cleo
lions it is necessary TO spend money in
forming an organization and on the day
of the election it is necessary to get out
the vote which is another item of ex-
pense and this is what Judge Benton
else. He also denied that he gave Jail
er James Mullins money with which to
buy votes and says that he had no con-
versation with him on the day of the
election III regard to il. Judge Shackel-
ford in his speech here said that Judge
Benton's twelve year-oId son brought
Jailer Mullins the money, which is not
a fact, but Judge Benton said that it
was his eldest son, Curren, who was over
twenty-one years of age. who was here
to vote that had the transaction with
him and thai it was done without his
knowledge or consent Winchester Sun
