Another Montana Pieneer Crosses the Last
Great Divide,
William II. Guthrie, one of the best
known of the pioneers of Montana, died at
his home on South Rodney street, shortly
aftor seven o'clock yesterday m orning. His
death resulted from pneumonia, the effect
of chill contracted while attending the
funeral of Col. G. A. Brosdwater last sun
day. He had not been very we'll during
the winter, suffering from repeated colds,
and when th8 last attack came the sOndi-
tion of his health was not such that he
could stand up under it. He was driven
back from the cemetery to bis home and
placed in bed, and never recovered from
the attack.
While not = strong or robust man physi-
cally William II. Guthrie was Of that sort
Of stuff from which pioneers arc made.
What hs lacked in size and strength he
made up in grit and perseverance,. Forci-
bic in the expression of his sentiments. Z
man Of strong likes and dislikes, he was
nevertheless warm hearted and generous
and devoted to his friends. He was born
in Woodfeld, Monroe county, Ohio, in 1880,
and WAS therefore 62 years OF age at the
time Of his death. From Ohio the family
moved to Davenport. Iowa, where W. II.

was discovered in Last Chance and
other places near Helena. he was among
the first to come here. He was at one time
assessor of Lewis and Clarke county,
though most of the time since his arrival in
Helena hs has been in the live stock and
butcheriug business, supplying Unionvills
and other camps around here. For awhile
he held government contracts for supply
ing meat to Fort Keoeh. Mr.. Guthrie
brought the FIRST thoroughbred cattle to
Montana. On account of failing health he
has not been engaged in very active busi-
ness for some years past. Mr.. Guthrie was

The Way the Situation At Minneapolis Is
Characterized.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 4.-The name Of
Blaine was on every lip tonight, shouted
in lebbies. whispered in conferences, and
sung in rhymes by s1ultant admirers as
they paraded the streets. The magic of
his name kindled the latest enthusiasm Of
the northwest into blaze of glory. Every
where it il ''Blaine, Blaine, James G..
Blaine" Now that hs has iesiRnsd and
thrown down the gauntlet, all admirers
who were hesitating between respect for
Harrison and uncertainty ~ to BlAins's ac-
csptanos, have come out in open advocacy
of the great republican leader and joined
the pioneer boomers, their ranks have be-
come an army. No man asserts tonight
that Blaine will decline the nomination.
II 10 Blaine against Harrison, aud sll the
political weapons of factional warfare have
been ushered into the contest. 1hs Harri-
SON people openly accuse Blaine of perfidy,
bad faith and treaohery to the admins
tration. Blaine leaders reply that Blaine
owed nothing to tho administration and
that the administration which he honorsd.
could have no possible mortgage ON his
political future.
While a great majority tonight predict
Blaine's nomination, some think the i'm
broglio will result in the selection Of dark
horse. The Harrison leaders arc not dis
heartened. but still resolute and eager for
the fray. Nearly evsryb body confesses that
a merry fight 10 in store, and nearly every
body seems to find pleasure in the contem-
plation. though now and then man is seen
who mournfully dspFecatss the bad feeling
engendered. What may be accepted as in
dicating the sentiment of the hour is the
remark that tho resign ation meant = Blaine
wake and Harrison funeral.

WAsHINaToN, June Al. B. +. MacFaF-

The interview 10 said to have been one
of the most interesting of the many inter-
estinR interviews which have occurred At
ths Rcd house during the past six weeks.
All three were diplomatio in what they
said. but Mrs. Blaine showed quite plainly

that if her husband did anything to help
Harrison to nomination it would be
against her consent.

possible to describe the peculiar situation
here with respect to the republican NOM

problem.
It il largely upon what she has said and

reasons they give are not so much the old
story about Harrison's unwillingncss to
make Walker Blaine assistant secretary of
state, or the new story about his unwilling
ness to mako Colonel Coppinger brigadier
