Lincoln special: Joseph HowendaI-
Ter is the name of young man of some
thirty years of age whom the po-
lice have locked up on a charge of
drunkenness, although they have
warrant sworn out by Mrs. HowendaI-
Ter charging him with assault with in
tent to kill
It seems that Mr.. and Mrs. Howen-
daller had been living apart Tor over a
year. A few days ago they met and
agreed to settle their differences and
return to his home, which he claims is
in Bertrand, Neb., where he says he
has considerable property. They had
stopped at the Capital hotel before GO
ing to their home, matters of business
OBTAINING him in the city. Concerning
the trouble between him and his wife
he Will say nothing whatever; but Mrs.
HOwendaller, who is very pleasant
looking little lady, readily told her
side Of the story. She held a very
pretty child upon her knees and APP
peared greatly distressed over the af
fair. She said that HowendaIler upon
arriving IN the city had gone out and
become drunk. He then came to her
room where he talked o moment to the
child lying upon the bed, and then
turned suddenly upon her and said,
81 guess I'll kill you now" or some
thing of that kind. He then drew
revolver and Threatened to shoot her.
Concluding that that would make too
much noise he put down the revolver
and drew a large dirk knife, with
which he sprang towards her. Partly
recovered, by this time, she almost
fell through the door backward and
then got away before the drunken brute
could catch her. She says she then
sent somebody to the room for the
baby while she started for the police
station. Howendaller in the meantime
encountered a man named Gillespie,
who went to work Systematically to
thrash him. He says he does not know
the man Gillespie, and does not think
his wife does. But whether he does or
not, Mr. Howendaller's appearance
gives ample evidence that it would
have been better if he had never met
him. His face is terribly cut and swol-
len and Mr. Howendaller viii proba

Signs ofthe Vessel De Brook Which
Sunk nearly a Century ago.

Philadelphia special: The Times
this morning publishes the report Of
the operations of the steamship City
of Loug Branch, which is now anchored
off Cape Penelope, searching for the
treasure which went down on the Brit

1898. The work is being done under
the direction of DR.. Seth PancOast and
Capt Charles A. Adams, United States

government for the work. After going

A Naturalization Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O-AIr. Oats of Ala

to amend the naturalization laws of the
United States very materially. 1t gives the

The Purchase of Cuba.

The New York Sun is advocating
the purchase Of Cuba. This is not a
new idea, by any means. and it may
not be any more feasible now than it
has been heretofore. 1t is probable
that the American people would be
willing to purchase the Pearl of the
Antilles at almost any sum in reason,
if Spain would consent to sell it. But
this Spain has never been willing to
do. and there Is no reason to believe
that she would listen to any offer for
the island. There is no question as to
the desirability of American possession
of this rich and fertile island Aside
from its richness and fertility, it is
naturally a part of America. Its pos
Sc ssion by one of the great powers of
Europe would be a standing menace
to us, as much almost, as would be
the possession of Ireland by France to
England. Cuba, in case of war, would
be a point Of great stragetic import
ance to its pOssessOr, as it would be a
commanding position for demOnstra-
tiOns in the Gulf Of Mexico and In
Central and South America It's pos
SCISSOR, too, would be In a commanding
position as to trade with thr Spanish
American countries. This country
couId we'll afford to pay 500. 900, 600
for Cuba, If the Spaniards would part
with Providence Telegram.

in the proposed arrangement for an ad-

PHILIPSBURG,

Information has reached US that Pap

Sweet Water and was a character in
western Colorado, died at his ranch
FROM n bnllet wound, inflicted by c. A.
Babcock of whom very little is known
except that he is large man. about
thirty-five years old. Babcock went
to Glenwood Springs and surrendered
himself to Deputy Sheriff Little. He
claims he shot Ryland in seIf-defense,
but his stories about the affair are very
conflicting as to detail. Babcock
mounted horse, rode to DotersO and
caught the train for GlenwOod Springs
In the nick of time to save being
lynched by Ryland's neighbors. James
NJ Ryland, son of the murdered man, is
a journalist and Is at present connected
with the Ute Chief at GlenwOOd
Springs Pap RyIand's ranch has for
many years been a land mark and stop

and his hospitality was proverbial. He
was the last remnant of the white men
who had the temerity to pitch their
tents on the hunting grounds of the
Utes when this was their undisputed
territory He was of an irascible tenn

whether he attempted the life of Bah

him to work. Jan proved a smart
young fellow, aud besides finding favor
in his old masters eyes, made a tire
mendOus impression upon the latter's
yeung and handsome wife. One day
the old captain, full of years, wealth
and schnapps, died, and his body was
