The Original of Mark Twain's Character,
Captain Toncray of Murray, Idaho.

Captain Toncray of Murray, Idaho.
Missoula, Feb. 19-Many Missoula
people who have visited Murray, Idaho,
know old Captain Toncray. He is a
character original. witty and shiftless
but loyal friend and jolly compan-
ion. He lives chiefly by his wits but he
makes an excellent living in that way
Those who have passed an evening in
his company have the pleasantest recol-
lections of his stories and his jokes. He
doesn't get tiresome and is never in the
way. He is good fellow all around
OF all who have met the captain"
there are few who knew that he is the
original of Mark Twain's character,
"Huckleberry Finn that has become so
famous and that has been characterized
by so eminent an authority as Sir Wal

novelist.
Captain Toncray one day told some
of his friends that he was the original
'Huck," and to substantiate his state

around Hannibal and st. Louis. He was
closely cross-examined by men who had
been in that region at the time of
which Mark Twain wrote and none of
them could corner him. He knew all
about the country and the people. The

was Nj. M. Wheeler of the Northwestern
line, who last week spent several pleas
ant days In Murray. The two captains
had merry time and when they got
through Captain Wheeler was positive
that Captain Toncray was what lie
claimed to be. Not long ago one of the
captains Murray friends wrote to
Mark Twain, asking him If Addison

name-was really the model from which
his famous character was formed The
reply of the great humorist was that the
captains" claim was all right as he
remembered It, He said that there were
two Toncray brothers and he had mixed
them up somewhat, but he believed that
A addison was the one who gave him his
suggestion for the boy who has become
famous by reason of his quaint phil

Perfect Winter Weather.

Missoula, Feb. 19.-The storm of the
past three or four days passed on over
the range last night. and to-day has
had perfect winter weather. The roads
are extremely rough as a result of the
freeze-up of the mud but this did not
deter a large number of farmers from
coming to town to-day, and the streets
have been busy since early morning
The lumberjacks have quieted down
and some of them are wondering what
they have done with their winter 5
wages. 1t has been a good day all over
town and the merchants are pleased
tonight.
