BENHAM ARRESTED.
Some One Made Away With 22 Head of Fat Cattle.
W.R. Benham of the Union Meat company, was arrested last evening on a charge of cattle stealing. About a month ago 22 head of fat cattle belonging to R.A. Hughes, a Meaderville milkman, disappeared from the pasture in Elk park and the matter was placed in the hands of Stock Inspector Collins a couple of weeks ago, after all efforts to locate them had failed. Although the trail was a cold one Collins went at it energetically and his detective work resulted in Mr. Benham's arrest. Mr. Hughes' cattle were all branded with a horseshoe on the right hip, and Mr. Collins claims to have evidence that at about the time they disappeared Mr. Benham drove a band of cattle answering their description and marked with the same brand, to Louis Kipp's slaughter house, where he was then doing his killing. Mr. Benham furnished a $1,500 bond for his appearance before Judge Holland at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
