ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
Death of Captain q. T.. Higgins After
"A RusN Life.

MIssouLA, Oct. 15.-Captain c. Z.
Higgins, the founder of the city of Mis-
soula, died here at ii p. NJ. last night.
To-day the whole city has mourned.
The remains will be inferred tomorrow
at II. NJ. The public buildings are all
draped in mourning and all business
will be suspended tomorrow. John, the
second son Of the deceased, is out in the
mountains with hunting party, and
parties have been looking for him for
the past three days but the indications
are ne will not reach home prior to his
fathers funeral. Morris, another son,
left st. Paul this afternoon, but will ar
rive too late.
Captain G. p. Higgins was one of the
oldest settlers in Montana. Born in
Ireland in March 1880, he came tn
America in his youth and at the age of
Is enlisted in the United States army.
In 1853 he joined Governor Stephens
expedition and assisted in the first sur
vey of the Northern Pacific railroad,
re naming in that work until 1865. In
that year he accompanied Governor Ste
phcns on his mission to make Il treaty
with the Noz Porces, but which resulted
in a treaty with the Flatheads and Pen
d Oreilles. He afterwards accompanied
the party on u mission to the BlaCkfeet,
the conference being held ut Fort Ben
ton. Captain Higgins was then put in
charge of n military force by the general
government and ordered to subdue the
Indians in Montana, who were continu-
ously attacking the emigranL trains then
daily arriving in the territory. Later he
was assigned to the quartermaster's de-
pa artment, where he remained until 1860,
part of the time being stationed at Walla
Walla. In 1865 Captain Higgins located
the present townsite of Missoula, where
he engaged from that time in the mer-
camille business. In 1870 he engaged in
the banking business and was at the
head of the Higgins National bank. He
was also extensively engaged in stock
raising and mining and no man in Mon
tana was better known than he. II saw
the town he located grow up into thriv-
ing city and was ever ready to show his
faith In its future by his work. He
leaves large fortune, gained by close
application to business and honorable
dealing.

A NOTED JESTER DEAD
Richard Mack, a Variety Ao-
tor of Wide Reputation.
BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
His Last Hours at Missoula Were
Heavy With Destitution
and Dissipation.

Richard Mack, who died in wretched
lodging house in Missoula recently after
a two-days' attack of typhoid pneu-
monia was man whose career was an
instance that truth is stranger than
tiction." He was born near Philadel-
phia and, at 10 years of age, was a
newsboy selling papers about the docks
and stations. The severe hardships in
cidental to that life, sharpen all boys
faculties and discipline him to combat
with the world in some shape or other.
Young Mack went along till he was Is
years old, when his dancing abilities got
him into a variety show at $8 per week.
He had been II student of man kind
however, which soon manifested itself
in clever little bits of character sketches.
In 1880 he fell in with II little short fell
low named Barney Ferguson, with
whom he formed n partnership as
team They became so popular that
they soon played in three variety balls
in ono night. In 1882 they came out to
San Francisco under engagement at $500
Il week to Billy Emerson, and made such
u hit that the Napoleon of Minstrelsy"
grew very jealous of their popularity.
Attor Ferguson and Mack left San
Francisco they went to New York,
where their income soon swelled
to $3.50 per week. They then went to
London, where they played in four varie-
ty halls each night, riding from one to
another in carriage with their charac-
ter dresses on. Then they went to
France and Germany, where they played
TO good business, though not as good as
in London and Dublin. On their return
to London quarrel took place between
them about II paltry matter of $50 and
the greatest variety team in the world
broke up. Then Mack took to drink and
has been kindly cared for as zone of the

with AN alleged "Mack" for Il parntor
but nobody who ever saw the team in it,
palmy days would mistake the dreary
substitute for the mirthlul genius who
died in poverty in this isolated little
town in the Rocky mountains. Mack's
only fault was drink. He had thou.
sand sterling qualities that went to atone
for it, and, in the days of his prosperity,
no man was moro liberal to the agod and
lnfrm in his profession. His associates
here saw him dGCently buried and the
curtain was rung down forever ON the
last act of the once famous Ferguson and

A FIDDLER's SWEETHEART.
The Engagement of Miss Blaine and

The Engagement of Miss Blaine and
Damrosch Recalls n Similar Case.
NEW YORK, Oct. l0--The news of the
engagement Of Miss Margaret Blaine to
Walter Damrosch has awakened no end
of discussion, not only among the per-
sonal friends of both contracting z parties,
but also among those--and they consti-
tute the entire country--to whom the
names of the secretary of the state and
the famous DIR. Damrosch are household
words. A great many people have ex-

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 17.--At the second

that congress grant no charter for bridges

A resolution was passed requesting the

The meeting closed tonight with a

Half breed scouts Play Havoc with
Pow Wow Near Guthrie.
GUTHRIE, Ind, T., Oct, 1i.-W. p.
Thompson, editor of the Guthrie Daily
News and attorney for the Iowa Indians,
returned to-day after having experienced
outrageous treatment at the Otoe reser-
vation,. He went there last Wednesday
witnt%o Interpreters in his capacity as
attorney for the Iowas TO consummate a
plan for the removal of that tribe of
eighty persons from their reservation
near Guthrie to that of Otoe, all the pre-
liminaries for the transfer having been
previously arranged. A pow WOW was
In full progress when a party of half
breed scouts hostile to the proposed re-
moval made an attack upon the council.
The interpreters took to the woods and
Thompson matiaged to reach Red Rock
station. There ne was discovered by the
pursuing Otoe scouts, who at the point
of the musket marched him to the
agents house, where he was examined.
He was finally allowed to go after being
refused food and shelter, and was
Obliged to walk to the nearest station.
This treatment is supposed to have been
dictated by the fear that he would be
instrumental in causing the Otoes to
consent to the opening Of their lands to
settlement.
