Benson of Or egon, who has been at a local hotel for the past six weeks for treatment for an affection of the nose, expects to return to Oregon within tho next three weeks and tako part in the po litical campaign in tho fall. Tho governor declines to talk per sonally about his plans, but Mrs. Benson today said ho still wishes 'to bo a candidate for secretary of state. He formally announced his candidacy some time ago. Mrs. Benson said her husband lias been in constant communication with political leaders in Oregon for the past month, and that as soon as he leaves San Francisco everything will bo ready for him to- enter the political campaign. Benson underwent an operation of slight importance on his nose re cently. Speaking for tho governor, Mrs. Benson today said: "Mr. Benson continues to improve, though not as rapidly as wc had hoped. He is outdoors much of tho time if not on the strset. on the roof of the hotel. Wo hopo to be back in Oregon at least within three weeks.

July l Tex Ricknrd, happy, smiling mid jingling some of tho coin ho "guthoroil out of tho Jeffries-Johnson fight, hns gone to Los Angeles, whero ho will have a talk with Jeffries over n return match with tho negro. Hiok ard is confident that big Jim will re enter tho ring. "Jeffries was not right on the Fourth," said Tex, "and I feel sure that should he meet Johnson again his showing will be far better. Al though I have no positive assurance from Jeffries that ho will fight, something tells me that ho wants an other crack at his conqueror. In fact, I feel so sure of it thnt I have found a battle ground, nnd it is not Reno, nor is it Juarez, Mcx. It is in the United States and is so lo cated that I will havo many people to draw upon. I cannot name the place just yet, as it might spoil my plans." Fight Labor Day. "If Jeffries says the word, I will go ahead and complete my plans for a battle on Labor day. That will not be too soon for Jeffries to fight again, as I believe a couple of weeks of rest and three or four weeks of training will put him in shape. His physical condition is good right now, and with the great worry that over whelmed him in his Inst fight off his mind he will be a different Jeffries. "I don't think ho hns been treated fairly by some of tho critics, especi ally those who have insinuated thnt he quit at Reno. If he wanted to quit he could have done so after the first knockdown, when he knew deep down in his heart that the stuff was off. There was one thins about the fight that was particularly pleasing to me, and that was that Jeffries was not knocked flat on his back, as I had predicted he would not be. Weeks before the fight, while dis cussing the matter with n number of friends. I declared that if Jeffries were knocked out it would not bo n complete knockout with the white man on his back unconscious." Hundreds of Cattle Hnvo Been Stolen Recently Thought at First Cul prits Were Indians, But This View Has Been Dispelled. Gotch In Earnest. CHICAGO, III., July 13. That Frank Gotch, champion heavyweight wrestler, is in dead earnest in his de sire to meet Jack Johnson in the prize ring, is the statement of II. II. Frazee, the man who planned the world tour James J. Jeffries was to make if he won at Reno. Gotch is at his Iowa farm, whore Frazee has been in communication with him. If the purse is rnnde attractive the big wrestler will go to work to get into condition to fight and will practice boxing for n year. Gotch, according to Frazee, thinks tho purse should be mndo fully as big as that offered Johnson nnd Jeffries, no prefers to fight in Austrnlin, Frazee says, and docs not want any prelim inary tour. Gotch said he wanted to fight sole ly becnuse ho wants the white rnce again to hold the heavyweight cham pionship title, Frazee said todav. "He does not wnnt any theatrical tour be fore the fight, because lie fears the public would think ho was in the fight solely for money."

Near tho boundary lino tho Indians nnd rangers engaged In a battlo In which Frank Trammer, a rangor, was killed. The Indians escaped. It is now believed that the whlto rustlors started tho report thnt tho Indians woro responsible for all tho thlovory. and then later ran down tho rcdraon nnd killed them In ordor to shield their own actions.

Tho trenches will Lo open ed, as many believe tho bodies of tho missing Indians will bo found undor tho carcasses. Handlers and cat tlemen havo demanded that tho mat ter be investigated thoroughly.
