Killed With Pocket Knife.


Benali, a Navajo Indian was
killed Tuesday night by another
Indian, believed to have been his
brother, on the mesa near Allison
The crime was committed with a
pocket knife. Benali was alive
when found shortly after dark
and was brought to the county
hospital in town where he died at
about eleven o'clock.
The first news of the affair was
brought to Deputy sheriff Henry
Brock when he was on his way
to Gibson to see the fire works
display. The officer was driving
and was stopped on the road by a
Navajo who told him that anoth-
er Indian was lying badly wound
ed on the Mesa. The deputy
went with the Indian to the place
and found Benali nearly dead
from loss of blood from several
knife wounds. The injured man
was stabbed three times through
the back, the back Of the head
was badly cut and there was a
wound in the front of the head.
Very little can be learned of
the affair any more than that
left Alison in company
with his brother and it is believ-
ed that there were other Navajos
in the party. Benali came to
town from Wide Ruin and at
the celebration at Allison
eaving town at about dark. Eff
are being made to locate
he brother who is believed to
lave done the stabbing. The re

Preparedness ultimately means
this: Prepare for war and then
start one, for it were foolish to
start one without being prepared.
The preparedness theory, in spite
of the frightful example of Europe
at present sounds good to the ave-
rage American, ear, and being pre-
pared to defend ourselves would
be a good thing but there is no
doubt that sordid influences from
capital that would benefit by a
war would be set in motion,
aided by its subs idized press. If
we shall prepare we are in favor
of the government producing all
of it's munitions. If this were pro
posed we should expect the prepa-
redness cry abate suddenly, be-
cause then the munitiOn factories,
run for personal profit, would
have nothing to work, fight and

French Authors Fate.

Gautier was not one of those great
geniuses who renew their youth and
develop their ideal as they seize more
and more the variety of the universe.
To the end of his days he remained
the devotee of the palpable and the
exterior and added no new gifts to
the facile competence, the fine taste,
the brilliant correctness which distin.
guished his early work. We can read
his feuilletons still, and when that
happens we are astonished that we
do not read them oftener. But, as a
matter of fact, we open them less and
less, and 1t is probable that our chill.
dren will leave them on the shelf.
