MURDERED BY MEXICANS.
William Howe, Formerly of Laramie
Meets Death in Arizona.

A letter received in Laramie yester-
day brings intelligence of the death Of
William Howe, a former resident Of
Laramie, who went to Arizona a few
years ago and who has been working
lately in a smelter at Morenci, Arizona.
The smelter burned down and being
out of work, Howe and a companion
started out for a weeks hunt on the
End of July. They were to return home
on the It'll, and as they did O put in
an appearance at the promised time,
a search vas instituted by the sheriff
Of the county. After a hunt lasting ten
days the bodies of the two men were
found buried 16 miles from home. They
had been killed the second night out,
right at their camp fire.
The letter does not state who Is sus-
pected of the murder, but it is thought
here that Mexican bandits killed the
two men for the purpose OF robbery.
Mr.. Howe was employed while in
Laramie at the dairy of David McCul-
lagh. He was a member of one of the
Odd Fellows lodges Of this city. Short,
ly before he left here he was married
to Miss Carrie Nelson, an adopted
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Chris
tie. Mrs. Howe is still at Morenci, bu,
it is believed she will return to Lara,
ME.

PLOT AGAINST ROBERTS.
Conspiratcrs Proposed TO Blow Up Church.
Fear OF an Uprising.

kilograms from London announce
that a plot to kill Lord Roberts by
blowing up a church has been discoy-
cred and that many OF the alleged CON
spirators, all foreigners. are under arrest
at johannesburg. This startling news
has been confirmed by the war Office.
The best information now obtainable IS
that the plot was discovered on Sat-
urday and on Sunday the consprators
were taken red-handed.
The anti-British feeling in Cape
Colony Is assuming dangerous proper
tions, owing to false stories OF British
barbarity in Orange River colony and
the Transvaal. Loyalsts fear that the
Dutch congress next week will be the
signal for rising, and they demand
that martial law be proclaimed through
out the colony. The situation is declar-
cd to be grayer than at any previous
period during the war.

FORGED BRITISH 70 SURRENDER|
DEWETSD0RP TAKEN.
Four Hundred Of Europe's Pride Gave Up
After a Long and Bitter Battle.
Groat Britain Alarmed.

Lord Roberts cables from johannes
burg, under date OF Wednesday: "The
Dewetsdorp garrison, OF two guns OF
the Sixty-eighth field battery, with de
tachmcnts OF the Glouccstcrshire rcgi-
ment the Highland Light infantry and
Irish Rifles, 400 in all, have surrender
cd to the Beers. Our losses were IS
men killed and AZ wounded, including
Mai. Johnson and Capt. Digby. The
enemy is said to be ,. 500 strong. Four
teen hundred were dispatched from Ed
cnburg 10 relieve Dewetsdorp, but did
not succeed in reaching there in time.
Knox Joined his force and found De-
wctsdorp evacuated. Sevcnty-hvc sick
and wounded had been left there. Knox
pursued and is reported to have Sue
cessiully engaged Steyn and Dcwet near
Naalbank. They retired west and south

The disaster at Dcwetsdorp has sent
thrill OF alarm through Great Britain.
Independent accounts of the subsequent
rccapturc OF Dcwetsdorp give ample de
tails, not omitting To announce the cap
| turc OF two Bucr wagons and a quantity
OF loot. but there is not the slightest
mention oi the surrender OF 400 British
troops and two guns, which were not
even disabled. as the Beers were able TO
use them against the British relief
forces The ubiquitous Dcwct seems
again TO have gotten away, and there IS
no news that the captured British have
been liberated.
Taking into consideration the cnig-
matical military situation north of the
| Orange river. the smoldcring rebellion
in Cape Colony, the rumors that France
| has promised Kruger to press arbitra-
ton on England il he is able to obtain
the support Of Germany, and that Gen.
Kitchener is not 20 be given the chief
command in South Africa, the British
government will meet the new parlia-
mcnt next week at an exceedingly op-
perfume moment. No attempt is made
to conceal the extreme irritation caused
by the adoption OF resolution OF sym
pathy with Kruger by the French cham
Der OF deputies. The London morning
papers are unanimous in declaring that
no Intervention OF any kind will be al
lowed to change the British policy.
