DEATH OF DAVE BLACK|E
Western Montana Will Hear His
CHEEKY Voice No More.
HIS END A TRAGIC ONE
Unfortunate Man Thrown Under a
Horses Feet and Is clicked to Death
by the Animal Community Is
Grief Stricken.

Missoula, Nov. 1.-Missoula was in
credulous this morning when the news
came down the canyon that Dave
Blackie was dead. 1t did not seem pos
sible. Of all the men in Missoula it is
not an exaggeration to say Of him that
more people grieve over his death than
would mourn over any other man. He
was popular and deservedly SO. His
was not the popularity that comes from
cringing and shifting with every
change of public sentiment, but the
popularity that comes from sterling
honesty and devotion to duty. He al
ways had kind word for everybody,
and was always willing to help friend
who needed assistance, be it financial
or otherwise. From his own limited
means he has assisted many whose
names will never be known. His aid
and his words of cheer and advice have
assisted many man more than money
could do Death came to him sudden
ly. He died in the harness. When it
was reported in Missoula this morning
that he was dead there were few who
would credit the report. 1t did not seem
as if Dave Blackie would not be seen
again. There We're tears in many eyes
Of sincere sorrow heard on all sides to-
day.
Mr.. Blackies death was tragic one.
He had been up Creamer gulch to the
Kendall sawmills on business and WIS
returning to Bonita, accompanied by
one of the millmen. Coming down the
gulch his horse ran away and Mr..
Blackie was thrown forward under the
horses feet, which viciously kicked
him, killing him almost instantly.
Word was at once sent to Missouia
and Coroner Hayes, with representa-
tives of the Foresters and Woodmen,
Of which orders Mr.. Blackie was a
member. at once hastened to the scene
of the accident At this hour they have
not returned and all that is known of
the accident is meager reports sent
down by telephone this morning. The
return of the party is awaited with
anxiety, as there is much desire to OBJ
tain additional particulars.
No definite arrangements have been
made for the funeral. There was a
meeting tonight of representatives CT
the two lodges mentioned above and
final action will be taken tomorrow.
Mr.. Blackie has been a resident of
Missoula for many years. He was
steward at the Northern Pacific hos
pital for long time and afterwards
entered the operating department of the
railway. He afterwards engaged in the
mercantile business here, leaving it to
carry on in person the affairs of his
farm near. Victor, in the Bitter Root
valley. His business relations in Mis-
soula brought him frequently to this
| city, where he was always a welcome
| visitor. His wife was notified this noon
| of his death and is in Missoula to-
| night.

Mlssoula, Nov. 1.-The trustees of the
Missoula Building & Loan association
to-day sold at auction three pieces of
property that have come into their pos
session through foreclosure and other
wise. The most important sale was
that of the Helena hotel property, near
the Northern Pacific station. The 9TH
er property sold was the fractional lots
in front of the Helena hotel; a five
side and the Robinson property on the
corner of Rose avenue and North First
street. The sale was conducted by F.
=. Stoddard, secretary of the Building
Loan association, at the office Of
Stoddard & Ross. Mr.. Stoddard made an
excellent auctioneer and had bidders
jumping sdewise for a time.
The sale opened with the offer of the
Helena property. This said Auc-
tioneer Stoddard, "is one of the BEST
pieces of property in town. 1t has so
rooms, all of them well lighted and
heated and there is a chance to put hot
hot and cold water into every room,
With an elevator, if the purchaser de-
sires. Now, how much am l offered for
this valuable property?'
George Briggs opened the call with
h'iN'
1,o0O, and Hermann kohn raised this
to 81, 200. G. e. Wilds bid $3.50 and Mr..
kohn raised this ante $25. All the 9th
er bidders dropped out and Messrs.
Wilds and Sohn spared for some time,
each raising the other a few dollars at
a time. Mr. .Wilds' last bid was $1,299,
and Mr.. Kohn at once raised him to
sl,301. This was the last bid and the
property was sold to Mr.. Kohn for
that figure. But when it came to the
sale of the fractional lot in front of the
hotel, which commands the street en-
trance, Mr.. Wilds got even with his
competitor and forced him to pay $65
for it, when it is really worth only a
nominal sum.
The five-room house in North Mis-
soula, with three lots, was bid in by j.
M. Dixon, who paid $3.50 for it. This is
one of the best bargains ever made in
Missoula property. The two Robinsons
lots, opposite the railway station, sold
to S. j. Coffee for $3.50.

A CLEVER CAPTURE,
Officers Land a Thieving Lumber Jack in
Jail


Missoula, Nov. IA very pretty
catch was made this afternoon by the
officers of the law, which landed a
lumber jack by the name of Henry
Higgins behind the bars of the county
jail. Higgins, in passing the wagon
belonging to farmer by the name of
Blanchard, who lives near the Marent
trestle, took buffalo robe and an over
coat from the wagon. He then took the
things to secondhand store and Of
fered them for sale, but the second
hand man, thinking that they were
stolen, refused to buy them. He then
sent man to watch Higgins. who
cached them behind the Lesser block,
and in the meantime told the officers
about it. Higgins then offered to sell
to another man, but he saw that the
officers were after him, so left in a
hurry. He was caught, however, and
taken before Judge Houtchens. AS
they entered the office of Judge Houtch-
ems they saw Mr.. Blanchard sitting
there talking to the judge. Mr. B1anch-
ard all this time did not know that the
robe and overcoat belonged to him. He
went out to his wagon and found that
they belonged to him. Higgins viii
have a hearing later.
