There is something peculiarly sad in
the death of young Lieutenant Creden.
whose body arrived here from Montana
to-day. TO be buried from the home of his
mother I'm South Boston. Lieutenant
Creden got his early education here in
Boston and was appointed TO West Point.
where he distinguished himself as
scholar and was graduated near the head
OF his class only a few years ago. His
career in the regular army had only just
begun. but f. gave promise OF the same
distinction that he had achievd as
student and a. young man OF exception
al brillancy. His death from typhoid fe-
yer at his post in Montana cuts off a
young life upon which confident hopes
were built

her 10 and costs and In default of nav

pinched from an old prospector. Read

the woman endured three dimensions
in the icy water and still refused TO
give up. She says that she has been
sick ever since she was so roughly
handled. and that the object OF her
visit TO Missoula at this time is to pros
ecute the men who threw her into the
river.
The woman's condition became so Sc
rious after she was taken 10 the county
Jail that she was placed in the Sisters
hospital that she might receive proper
care. Her nervous system is completely
