Last of Four Brothers Who
Help Found Omaha Leaves
Is $4,000, 1000.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, March 16.-Benjamin
Franklin Smith. last of four brothers
who left South Freedom. Me-, 20 years
ago to seek their fortunes and helped
found Omaha. is dead at the age OF
So, reputedly the richest man in New
England His fortune was estimated
in excess of $5O,00OO0o
With his brothers, Francis, David
and George, he started business by
selling photographic prints OF Presi'
dents and steel engravings or Amefl-
can cities. In OmahaS early days
they started a bank for Cattlemen.
Then after years of mining in Colo
RADIO they returned to Omaha and built
the South Omaha stockyards. When
gold was found in the Rockies they
went from Omaha to Denver IN nVe
covered wagons. A quartz claim In
which gold was found was the founda.
ton of their fortune.
Won Dispute Over Claim.
In mining they outwitted Gen. Fitz-
John Porter in a dispute over their
claim.
The general directed his shaft into
the Smith mine. but Benjamin Smith
met it with tunnel of his own. Then,
discovering that Porter's opening
made perfect chimney, he started
a fire that drove the other mans
workers to the surface. The general
retaliated by building a huge fan to
throw the smoke back into the Smith
workings, but every time the general
stopped the fan and attempted to in
wade the mine the Smith forces would
rebuild the fire. After a three-week
battle Porter struck his colors. The
success of the mine led to establish
ment of the Smith-Parmelee Gold Min
ing Co. in New York.
Stunned Publicity.
Mr.. Smith Stunned publicity, and
few millionaires were less often in
print. The last time his name APP
peared in the newspapers was when
he celebrated his Gard birthday. 1t
was discovered that he took daily
walks in the Back Bay district I'M
known to all save immediate rela-
tives.
Under the wills Of the elder brothers
most of their property went to the
survivor.
In 1924 three of Mr.. Smiths grand
children living in Omaha changed
their family name of Wolfe to Smith
at his request. A sister elected to re-
tain hers.
Mr.. Smith made his home here with
y daughter and two nephews.

METEORITE TO BE PLACED IN
STATE MUSEUM IN TUCSON

After months of negotiation to pre-
vent the fallen astral body from find
ing a place in the Smithsonian Insti-
tute or other museum outside of Ari-
zona, the university has finally Sc
cured the smaller of the two meteor
ties that were found by an Indian in
the Hualpai Indian reservation in Mo-
have county. Acquisition by the uni
versity's meteorological museum of the
287-pound meteorite was made by
Dean G. M Butler, who heads the col
lege of mines and engineering. The
prize was procured through the COM
bined efforts of William Light, the
reservation superintendent, Senator
Henry F. Ashurst, and Dean Butler.
The other meteorite, whose weight
was 672 pounds, went to the Smith
sonian Institute. To secure the small
er astral body, it was necessary that
Arizona agree to pay the same fee Of
fered by Smithsonian. The fees for
the two meteorites will go to the In
dian that found them.

Find Camel Bones
In Death alley

STOVE PIPE WELLS, Death Val
ley, Calf. This deserts ever shifting
sand dunes have revealed the skeleton
of camel, evidently hidden by the
sun baked sands Of Death Valley for
half century or more.
Shifting of sand dunes on the out
skirts of Stove Pipe Wells some 25
feet since last June uncovered the
skeleton. It was found by H. c. Eich-
baum, owner Of resort here.
Records show that number Of cam
els were used by a Nevada mining
company in 1870 to pack salt from
Death Valley to the mills. Also a
number were used in an expedition
against the Mohave Indians in 1858.
The camels were a part of a govern
ment cargo of 75 animals, for the pur-
chase of which jefferson Davis, then
secretary of war, had appropriated
$4,000. They were purchased IN
Egypt and Arabia and transported to
the southwest for use in express routes
across the western deserts from III
Paso, Texas, to California. They were
found impracticable for the work,
however, and were turned loose, some
of them roaming for years over the
waste places of western Arizona.

A Real News Item
From 1776
!. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. !. j. :: !. !. !. !:

Items from old newspapers are of
interest to many, and so we have
found a few taken from copy of The
Massachusetts Sun, published in Wor-
cester on July II, 1776, the front page
of which was devoted to the Declara-
ton of independence, then less than
two weeks old. A news letter from
New York said:
"On Wednesday last the Declara-
tion of Independence was read at the
head of each brigade of the Contin-
entail Army at or near New York, and
everywhere received with loud huZZas
and utmost demonstrations of joy.
The same evening the equestrian sta
tue of George III was by the sons of
freedom laid PROSTATE in the dirt. The
lead wherewith this monument was
made is to be run into bullets, to as
simulate with the brains of our infat-
uated adversaries, who, to gain a pep
per-corn, have lost an empire.
A resolution by the house of repre-
sentatives requested the people of the
colony to donate their leaden window
weights for the making of bullets.
Among the notices was one stating
that there were "a considerable num-
Der of prisoners in the town, who are
willing to go out to service if proper
persons should appear to hire them" !"
Delinquent subscribers were prob
lem in those early days, as they have
been ever since, it appears from a
card from the publisher, who thanked
those readers who had paid up, add
ing: "He begs that such as have not
paid him would be so considerate as
to think of the great disadvantage it
must be to him to have SO many small
sums in different hands, therefore
would now request that they would
pay their respective balances, which
will greatly oblige their humble serv-
ant. Isaiah Thomas"
After Isl years good many pub
fishers may still find Mr.. Thomas
courteous suggestion quite applicable
to present conditions.

Mesa Hunters Get
Ten Kaibab Bucks

With the carcasses of 10 huge
bucks, the Jack Riddle, Zeb Pearce
and John Toot families returned Tues
day from the Kaibab forest. 1t was
by all odds the biggest load of veni-
son brought into Mesa this season,
and the collection of deer horns in
the window of the Johnson-P Pearce
Commercial company's store contains
several pairs of antlers that connois-
seurs would give their eye-teeth to
have. One, for instance, has 16 points,
five on one side and II on the other.
Every member of the party had a
hunting license and a buck could have
been brought back for each. After
collecting 10, however, the Mesaites
decided they had enough and hit the
long trail for home.
The Kaibab is overrun with hunters,
says Mr.. Pearce, but 80 per cent of
them are from California. He saw
only a few Arizona cars, and none
from Mesa except those of his own
party. All the camps established by
the forest service are full.
Getting deer is an easy matter for
experienced hunters, but many nov-
ices are meeting with disappointment.
AS soon as shooting began, the bucks
became wary. 1t is not possible to
walk up and poke a gun in ones ribs.
Many of the Californians know moth
ing about hunting and as soon as they
see anything with horns on it they
get bad case of buck ague. The for
est resounds with their firing as late
as IL O'Clock at night. The amount of
ammunition being wasted is some
thing appalling.
The road is good from Mesa as far
as Tuba City, according to Mr.. Pearce.
From there on it is mostly bad, and in
places very bad A stretch of about
two miles along the south edge of the
Colorado river, just before reaching
Lees Ferry, is particularly scary.
Nevertheless the Mesaites, driving two
trucks and touring car, made the
trip without so much trouble as a
puncture.
Four of the bucks brought home by
the Pearce- -Riddle-TooS party dressed
out over 200 pounds. The famous boy
hunter, "Gyp" Toot, repeated his 1926
feat of bringing down his deer with a
high-powered 20 rifle.

day, the trotters will compete in the
Fred II. Bixby stake for $3.50.
Both stakes have been named for
Fred H. Bixby, of Mesa and Long
Beach, who is member of the Cali
fornia agricultural commission and an
ardent sportsman. Bixby owns a large
ranch near Mesa and is one Of the best
known cattlemen in Arizona.
The free for all and 2:08 trots
should prove great contests as the en-
tries are very evenly matched and on
the coast tracks showed they could
beat 2:O9 on a half mile track. Rae
ing officials stated that the 2:12 and
2:l5 trots will make great races since
two Of the favorites, Gold Bond and
Harry l, will not be in these races,
but instead will confine their activi-
ties to the 2:08 and free for all trots.
