HATTIS BENTON'S The adventure of Hat'ie Benton, a girl of sixteen, with a gang of outlaws on the Arkansas River proved bcr bra very to be equal fo that of any man living. Soou after the war, while ev erything was yet in confusion in the South, and especially io tho Southwest, Benton moved from Missouri to Arkan sas, and settled upon tho Arknnad River at a point midway between tho Pine Bluffs and Arkansas Post. The country was then full ot outlaws of all sorts, and robbery, assassination, and murder were rife :n the lonely sections. Benton lived on tho band of the river, and furnished wood to steamboats. Hat tie wis his only child, and had been ac customed to the wild life of tbe West fiucc . bahyhcod. I ho mother , was au invalid, who could scarcely leave the house or wait upon herself. The father was a man of fiery temper, and pcop' . soon learned that to attempt any ove making with the girl would be pretty Certain . tn cud in somejody's death. The three or four gallants who came sighing about, were utado to walk the plauk, and In time it camu to be known along the river that the old man Benton looked upon his daughter as too good a' match for any one in those piirts. Then it was that an outlay named Jack Cum mcrford scut the old man a message that ho was coming to wake Ila'.lie his wife. The fellow was rropiictor vf a floating whisky bhauly, and had two or three j hard eases constantly with him. While there was no question that bis crw were guilty of stealing and robbing ind wotse, the victims hesitated to complain, aud the law to arrest. . Cuniinerford heard of the girl long enough bcfoie he saw her, and the first Itcuton heard of t e outlaw was by way of a message in which Cummerford told lam that he would be on hand in about ten days to look the girl over, and if alio sui'ed him, he would take her awuy. The father boiled over at the iiupudcnoe of the message, and he arranged to kill the outlaw on sight. Had it been known just bow he would come Cum merford would have been welcomed with a bullet, but the messenger did uot state that part of it, and after being un his guard several days the father began to relax bis vigilance aud believe tho mes sage to bo nothing moro than an idle boast. One moruing he went down to his wood pilos to find a shanty boat mocred at the bank, and a rough look ing fellow just coming ashore. Jack Cummerford and his gang hid arrived, aud the villain intonded to make bil words good. Benton was not armed , tho outlaw had a rifle in his hands. Suspecting some evil, the pioneer start ed to retreat, but was shot in the back before he had gone thirty feet, and he was dead almost as soon as the outlaw reached him. The three men then pro ceeded to the house together. Tbe mother aud daughter were preparing breakfast, and were ordered to make provisions for their rii-itors. They had beard the tiflo shot, but before they ould voice their suspicions of what had happened, the leader of the gang bru tally said:' 'Come now, hurry up. I've come to take the gal away, and as I thought t; old man might object 1 just laid bim out on tho start. No sniveling, now, but git breakfast ready and then prepar' to go with me. Tbe mother was so overcome that she dropped into a obair and began moaning and weeping. It was a terrible shook to the gill, bat she realised from the first mooient that if she wss to be saved from the rate planned for ber, she most save herself. She therefore went sbead with the prcpsrations for the meal, and bout the tiino tho men were told to sit down t) the table the mother hobbled out and sat down beside the dead body of her husband, so dazed and terrified that she eould not shed a tear. After the first shock the girl began to plan against the gaug, and every move made by the Ken was narrowly watched. As the place was isolated they tvl no fear of being disturbed, and took matters very leisurely. They talked of tbe shoot ing uf lieu ton as coolly as if they had had only fired upon a dog, and as they drew up to tho tablo, Cummerford ob served : . ' .. . . ' "Ought to have bit hun absut two inches lower, but it wasn't su bad for a snnp shot. Kinder unrry for the old woman, but she'll feel bettor after we fling the body into the river. Say, gal, how d'ye like me, any way f You orter bo proud of such a man as Jack (Cum merford ! ' Come, Jack, he a bil easy on her until we git afloat," remarked one of the others. 'Oh, sartin," chuckled the outlaw. 'She's kinder 'afraid of me now, but sho'U soon bo proud of her husband. Rather pooty gal, Hattie is. Sorry 1 didn't come last week, but my motto is to attend to bizneas fust. Say, gal, don't be afeard to laugh if you teel like it!"' :' Cummerford had brought his rifle or carbine to the bouse, while the others had left their firearms aboard the boat. The carbino leaned against the wall in the rear of tho men, and just as they got fairly to eating tbo e;irl examined it suf ficiently to note that the chamber con tained four or five bullets No sooner was she certain of this than she snatch ed it up, and sprang out doors, and as ran for her mother, who was in the di rect lino of the bout, she called to her tl.n k.tir .nJ li,uln nuAr.- i li. ca.u craft. Duzed as she was, ttij mother did not hesitate a second about comply- ing, and she was aboard before any of the outlaws came out. When they did appear it was to find tho girl with t'.ie carbine at an aim. covoring the mother's retreat, and walking slowly backward herself. The rurfiaus were all upset foi the moment. Then Cututncifurd sprang into tho cabin after the dead man's rifle, and when he reappna' )d he brought it to his faoe and commanded the girl who was by that time on board tbe shanty boat aud trying to cast off the line to come ashore. She paid him not the least attei ion, uud ho coolly fired at her head. Tho bullet di'pw blood from the edge of her right car, aud in retaliation she picked up tho carbine and fired au off-baud shot, which killed ilie man who stood on the risht of Cummerford. The recoil of the heavy piece knocked hci down, but oefore they could rush upon her the mother seized an ax and cut the hue, and the boat floated away on the current. , Cuimuerfud ran back into tho cabin after ammunrion, but beforo he found it the boat was half a mile below tho houso, and when he opened fire the women shel tered themselves iu tho cabin. As fast as be could load aud fire ho ' fired upon the boat hoping that a stray shut might wound or kill. The girl made uo reply until the curront carried the float iuto a tree tup on the opposite side of tbe stream. Then.wheu the outlaws begin to prepare to swim or float off to it she opened fire from three or four revolvers banging in the cabin, aad did such good shooting as to force them to abandon the attempt. Had it been coming on darkjho tv men would doubtless have found jieaug to iccover the boat and recapture tbe women, but the craft had not been de tained more than an hour in the tree top, when a Government survey party came along and were soou in possession of all tbe particulars. The women wore tak en off, the boat was stripped of its plun der, aud then the structure was given over to the flames. During this time two men were landed to hunt for the wretches, but like the cowaids they were they left the locality with all pos sible speed, and Cummerford was not beard of sgaio until killed io a fight si Arkansas Post. .Vfm York Sun.
