NEWS FOUNDER DEAD.

w D. Dougherty, Pioneer In Penny
Pape Field, Expires In New York.
Chicago, Oct. 23.-William Eugene
DOugherty, 81 years of age, one of the
founders of the Chicago Daily news,
died suddenly in New York yesterday.
He was the father Of May Waldron
Robson, wife of Stuart Robson, the ac-
tor. For some years he had been a re-
porter on an evening newspaper in New
York.
Dougherty was a job printer in Chi
cago so years ago, when newspapers
sold at cents a copy. He was a great
advocate of a penny paper, and in 1873
began the publication of a four-page
daily paper. It was a diminutive af-
fair, four columns to a page, but it was
the first experiment in the penny paper
line in Chicago. It was called the Chi
cago Sun and had an existence of two
weeks. Dougherty gave it up because
his money was gone, but he did not
give up the idea.
In December, 1S75,in partnership with
Melville f. Stone and Percy Meggy, he
launched the Chicago Daily News. Meg
gy furnished the money, Stone took
charge of the editorial and news work
and Dougherty looked after the me-
chanical and business departments. A
year later Dougherty sold out his in
terest for $3.50 and Meggy withdrew
with some experience and no money.
Victor NJ. Lawson soon after bought an
interest from the surviving partner.

DIGGING OUT.
Montana Is Emerging From Snow
Three to Twelve Feet Deep.

Chicago, Oct. ga special to the Tri-
bune from Helena, Mont, says:
The northern part of the state IS dig
ging itself out of the snow. For four or
five days last week snow came down al
most increasingly. At the town OF Cho-
teau county seat of Teton county, it was
ten to twelve feet deep in drifts, and at
least three feet on the level.
Old timers are agreed that nothing like
this fall of snow has been seen in October
for twenty years. z. 7. Burton, president
of the Burton Land company, who arriv-
ed here last night from the blizzard swept
district says that the bodies of eight
sheep herders have already been found in
Teton county. and fifteen other herders
who are missing have been given up for
lost. He says the loss of life will exceed
20 persons in Teton county and that 10000
sheep perished in the storm.

A BORDER WAR
Has Broken Out Between Mexicans
and Americans.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. ga special to the
News from FL Paso says:
War between Americans and Mexi-
cans broke out again yesterday after
noon at Naco, Ariz., with disastrous re-
suits. Naco lies partly in Mexico and
partly in the United States and has a
mixed population Bad blood has ex-
listed between the American and Mexi-
can officials since the recent disturb
ance wherein a party of cowboys res
cued one of their number from the jail
across the border
A dispatch from Bisbee says:
Just as a baseball excursion from
Bisbee was about to leave Naco, Mex,
a fight started between Mexican guards
and American cowboys and as a result
four Mexican guards were killed and
one seriously wounded
