DEATH OF NEIL HOWE.
He Dies on the Island Of Trinidad of Feve

He Dies on the Island Of Trinidad Of Fever.
It.is not long since we heard some one in
quire: What has become of Neil Howie?"
In quiet little company at Butte few
evenings since the inquiry was repeated 10
Tom Connor, who In living encyclopedia as
concerns old Montanians, and who had just
finished up an account OF tho man who con-
demned Pummer. He said: "Neil Howie
is dead. heard from him eighteen months
ago. He died six months after. Neil had
been for seven years Assistant Superintend-
ent of the Remington Company's Quartz
Works, on the island of Trinidad, at the
mouth of the Oronoco river, Venezula. Dur
ing one of the chronic revolutions there
Neil was accompanying one of the Reming-
ton mule trains up the river. A detail OF
soldiers sent out from n little town, seized
the train, and approaching Neil, who was
riding a valuable animal, demanded its sur
render. Neil refused. A Sergeant stepped
forward and seized the bride, when Neil
drew his pistol and shot him dead. The
Lieutenant In charge OF the party then at
tempted 10 seize him, when Howie killed
him. The others fed Howie rode to the
town where the troops were stationed and
entered n drinking saloon where there
were number of soldiers, including
the Captain of the company In which Howie
had just made the way for "A couple Of promo
tions. Strangely enough, it seems they took
no offense at what he had done, averring the
officers had been wrong in attempting to
seize his animal, and admiring the courage
Of the man. Howie invited them to drink.
While standing at the bar the event was dis
cussed and the Captain remarked that
Howie was right, and added, but If it had
been ] instead Of the Lieutenant, would
have had the mule Howie responded he
did not know about that, and Mt the remark
the Captain stepped back, as If TO draw
pistol. Howie got there first, and shot the
Captain dead in his tracks" The story seems
almost incredible, but IL there was any man
ia America TO do such thing, and do IL with
the rapidity almost of thought, the man was
Neil Howie. Howie was not even held for
trial. and became the hero Of the camp. Six
months later he died of fever at Trinidad.
Thus ends the history of one of the brayest
and best known men Of the early days Of
Montana, the incidents Of whose life would
eclipse the story Of the novelist, and make a
companion book to "The vigilantes of Mon
tana "a work Dickens said TO Charles Nord-
OFF was the most interesting he ever read.

On the present basis of railroad track in

secure the charter of the American & North

Mr.. j. H. Meyer called special attention to
Mr.. Garfield's celebrated outburst Of elo-

assassination, and said that many thought It
had never had been equalled either In mod

 LONDON. Oct. 2.-The Times, in an editor ial on the Yorktown celebration, says : s.We can afford to feel toward the Americans an envy which is harmless to them, but which may be useful to ourselves. They are cele- brating the hundredth anniversary of their independence. The observance of birthdays belongs to the golden age of the family. Every year they can mark the progress toward the full development of beauty, wit and power. Every year brings them nearer to the glittering prizes of life hung up on high for the quickest, strongest and readiest. We have no national birthdays, an niversaries or centenaries of any kiud We can only carry so many centuries in our minds. We have not room for the later ones' Concluding the Tunes says t'As to the defeat, since there was no other solution of the difficulty and nothing could convince the courts and it's surroundings of their TOT, we have quite as much reason as the Americans to share in their centenary thanks giving Fortunately the British flag was not tarnished.

Clever Commentators Under Arrest.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 2.-Last fall the appearance of finely executed counterfeit ten dollar pieces was noticed in this city. The coins were made of Rabbit metal and were electroplated. Except that they were trihe light, they were undistinguishable from gen. uine 'seagles," and were more than usually dangerous pieces San Francisco and Sacra- mento were soon flooded with several thou sand dollars worth of the counterfeit coin, the small tradesmen being the principal suf- ferers. Detectives, after months of labor, arrested woman named Antoinette Lawson yesterday, while trying to pass one of the commercials. Several other base pieces were found in her possession. A man named Law lia is in jail awaiting trial for making the commercials.
