OMAHA, April 20.-Speaking today of
the report from Cheyenne that Colonel
Van Horn had probably gone to the
southeast from Fort Mckinney to avoid
the rustler forces, Col. Sheridan said he
believed there was no foundation for the
rumor He believed Col. Van Horn was
still at Fort Mckinney and that the
troops with the prisoners were under
the command of Major Fechet and were
marching down the Elkhorn valley road
on their way to Douglas. He believed
they would not reach Douglas before

science of bridge building is modern,

age of steel.

centuries some very beautiful bridges

Venice there are no fewer than $3.50.

A Negro Doctor COOliy shoots Dow

Charles Aaron.
Quincy, ILL.,, April 19.-Charles Aaron
of Cliola township, near this city, was
brutally murdered this morning by a
negro doctor named Smith, alias Jami-
son, who had been attending his mother
for lancer. Aaron had agreed to give
him $500 for curing her. This morning
after breakfast, Jamison demanded the
money. Aaron refused, saying his
mother was not yet cured. Jamison
pulled a "A Colt revolver and shot him
in the head causing death within a few
minutes. Jamison then pointed the
revolver at AarOn's father and made him
sign a check for $500. Then he grabbed
his valise and started down the railroad
track for Quincy. The neighbors were
called in and in a few moments half a
dozen men were following him down the
road with shot guns. Jamison fired at
them steadily and with the utmost
GOODNESS. When his revolver was
emptied he would sit down and deliber-
ately load it. The pursuers were afraid
to venture within range of his pistol.
Two trains-a passenger and a freight -
came along going toward Quincy and
Jamison tried to flag them. with his red
handkerchief. The conductor saw the
armed men after him and refused to
stop. After he had gone three miles a
deputy sheriff appeared with a Winches-
ter rifle and shot the murderer in the
hip and through the fingers of his left
hand. Then AS he could no longer use
his hand to load his revolver he threw
it down and surrendered. He was
brought to Quincy Jail.

RAILROAD

That Great Falls is to be an in portant
railroad center is becoming more ant
more evident every day. and another
year will see several new roads running
into the city. There is nothing that vii
benefit the city more than new railroads
and they are coming slowly but surely
#,.*
The Burlington is on its way here and
there is every reason to believe that an
other summer will see its trains run
ming regularly to Great Falls and be-
yond, giving us a new outlet to the east
and to the west. The road will tap the
wonderfully rich Judith basin and lay
it's at Great Falls door. The
line will continue beyond Great Falls
into the northwest and in all probability
enter the Canadian territory.
***
The Montana Midland will be in oper-
alton before snow flies. The surveyors
will be put into the field in a few weeks
and the actual work of building the road
will be begun at once thereafter. This
road will tap the lumber region above
Neihart, the rich copper mines around
Copperopolis, and the Castle mineral
district. The tons and tons of mineral
produced in those districts, the wool
from the headwaters of the Musselshell
will all be brought to Great Falls.
~
The Great Falls x Canada road is now
contemplating the construction of IA line
to Choteau and up the Sun river. Should
this plan be carried out it will open
up to Great Falls enterprise another dis
trict that is rich in resources and that is
sure to develop rapidly. Should the
road be built it will undoubtedly prove
to be the best paying piece of road in
the system.

1t is also on the cards hat d line will
be built connecting.G Great Falls with the
country about the Little Rockies. These
mountains have shown themselves to be

be a great mining district when once it
is connected with the world.

it is the one thing which England wants above
all things else. eff Great Britain he re-

Nothing could be palmer than this Free

revive the wellworn sophstry that England
is content to have the United States remain
Protectionist country, because under Free
Trade it would inevitably become formidable
rival in controlling the commerce of the world.
The London silly season has not yet set in, SO
