Full information concerning the

the following is a copy:

Noble Grand Albany Lodge No. 7, |.
o. o. F., Laramie, Wyo.
Dear Brother: Our brother, William
H. Howe, was murdered about IS TITLES
above here on Eagle river on Or about
the 2nd of July. 1t happened like this:
He, with a gentlman named Wheeler.
went out for a three or four days hunt.
They took with them their bedding aIl
provisions, packed On two burrOs. and
said that they would return i'll four
days and maybe sooner. Mrs. Howe
waited and watched for her husband ir.
ten days before she gave the alarm and
the boys here rode six days looking for
the W lost men. Then they found
them. 1t appears the boys had gone
into camp for the night and the party

in the right leg and broke it just half
way between the knee and thigh; and
the second shot must have hit w. II.
Howe, the ball entering the back of his
head and coming out just above the
right eye and putting two holes in his
hat. The mex shot struck Wheeler in
the back of the head, coming out be-
tween his nose and upper lip, for his
jaws were broken to pieces. They burn
ed their blankets, pack saddles and
coats and searched the pockets of the
clothing they had on; for their pockets
were turned wrong side out. They took
the two men and threw them back I'M
der the roots of a fallen tree and pushed
and jammed them under with clubs anu
then piled bark and brush on them. We
found their shotgun and shells and fry
ing pan in the river; and where they
burned the pack sodGies and blankets,
We found pieces of coats, blankets and
the rings and buckles of the saddles;
also a road tax receipt of Wheeler's.
The men were found on the 18th
and we brought them down on the 18th.
On the night of the 18th they were
buried here in Morenci. Five brother
Odd Fellows and myself carried Broth
er Howe to his last resting place. There
is no doubt in our minds that the two
men were murdered by M%eXicans,
thinking that they were ~prOspeCtOTs
and had money. There is a posse out
hunting for the murderers, but ii is
doubtful if they will ever find them.
The boys here have declared themselves
that if they run across them they will
kill them or give up their lives in try
ing. There is a band of Mexican out
laws over on Eagle river and they are
headed by the noted outlaw Chachon.
The authorities here in Graham county
have had him in Jail three times but
he has managed so far to get away each
time. If the boys find him again I will
guarantee he will never get away.
Il wish, brothers, that you would
loo kinto this thing and give the widow
whatever the lodge sees fit and look
after her children. If there is any more
information I can furnish or anything
else that | can do, l am at your service.
Yours in F. L. and T.,

ALIVE ON JULY 10.
Another Message Said to Have Been
Received From Conger.

Washington, D. c., July 3O.-Again
the veil which shrouds the fate of the
foreigners in Picking has been lifted.
A foreign government has received a
cipher message from its minister in
the beleagured legation building, dated
July 10.
The authenticity Of the dispatch is
beyond question. 1t was brought from
the capital to the coast by a runner sent
| by a foreign consul to Picking for the
purpose, who returned with a dispatch
in the government cipher. Naturally
the message gave no news of casualties
except in the legation concerned. 1t
stated, however, that the attacks had
become less severe, and expressed the
opinion that the besieged foreigners
could hold out for some weeks more.
Che Foo, July 2S, Via Shanghai, July
29.-The japanese consul at Tien-Tsin
sent a runner, July Is, to Picking. On
the 10Th the runner left Picking, bring
ing a cipher telegram to the japanese
government. 1t reads:
I'VE are defending ourselves against
the Chinese very well, but now their
attacks have stopped We will keep
| up to the last of the month, although
it will be no easy task.
"The Japanese casualties are: Kill
ed, Kozima, diplomat attache; one cap
tain, one student and also a few ma.
rines; wounded, five or six; slightly
wounded, very many"
The Che Foo consul says nothing was
written about the other ministers.

New York, July 3O.-Emmanuelo
Fernandino Maria Gennaro, who sue
ceeds his father to the throne of Italy.
was the only son of King Humbert. He
was born November II, 1869, and has
the reputation of being a liberal,
scholarly and soldierly man. He is a
general in the Italian army and a pa
iron Of art and literature. He is a
chevalier Of the order of the Golden
Fleece, and a Knight of the Garter.
His wife, Italy's new queen, was the
Princess Helena, one of the seven
daughters Of Prince Nicolas, the ruler
of the little principality of Montene-
gro. She was born in the royal palace
in Cettinje in 1873. With her sisters
she inherited the superb dark beauty OF
their mother, the daughter of a Monte
negrin nobleman.
The nuptials of Prince Vitterio and
Princess Helena were celebrated in
Rome on Saturday, October "a, 1896,
with all the pomp and circumstance
usual on such occasions. The streets
were thronged with a tremendous crowd
to see the bridal procession. First
came the civil marriage at the Quirin-
al, where the bridal couple signed the
marriage contract with a gold pen set
with diamonds, presented by Italian
patriotic societies.
Then the wedding party drove in
open carriages, drawn by six horses
to the church of Fanti Maria Degli An
geli, where the religious service was
celebrated by Mr.. Piscicolli.

OPEN DOOR IN CHINA ASSURED.
Italy Joins other Powers in Giving
Favorable Reply.

Washington, Jan, 4-Italy has returned
favorable response to the recent note Of
the state department respecting the open
door In China. Italy was the last of the
great Powers remaining to be heard from.
II is learned that although Italy was the
last OF the Powers addressed to return
an answer to Secretary Hays overtures
looking to the maintenance of the open
door in China, that government really was
more prompt tnan any other I'm the nego-
tiatons. This is explained by the fact
thGt the Italian government was ad-
dressed on the subject some time after
the other continental nations had Il un-
der consideration. This was through no
discourtesy or lack of consideration, but
simply because our ambassador MIR. Dra-
per, was away from his post on leave OF
absence in the United States when the
identical note Of Instructions was sent out
and 1t was regarded as best to make no
departure from the rules which had been
adopted in the case of the other govern
ments, of addressing them through the
United States representatives at the for
eign capitals.
Immediately upon Mr.. Diapers return
TO Rome, at not distant date in the past,
he laid the matter before the Italian gov
ornmeut, which therefore has acted with
more promptness than most of the other
powers.
The agreements have not yet been re-
duced to their final form, but the state de-
partment will now enter upon the task of
putting them into the shape of precis, as
in each case the agreement to the princt-
pies involved in our Invitation Is returned
in unequivocal terms. According to de-
partment officials. 1t Is not anticipated
that any difficulty win be experienced in
accomplishing this work satisfactorily
Pending that outcome, the state depart
ment does not intend to make any state
ment for the public as to the exact terms
of the agreements, though II is admitted
that the ground has been covered with
unusual accuracy in the press reports

STEAMER GENERAL DETAINED.
British Searching Her Cargo for
Contraband of War

Berlin, Jan. 4.--The imperial mail steam
er General has been detained at Alden and
occupied by British troops with the OBJ
ject of searching her cargo, which is to be
discharged. The General is owned by the
German East African Line, the owners of
the Bundesrath. previously captured by
the British cruiser Magicienne off Delagoa
bay.
The seizure of the Imperial mail steam
er General has considerably aggravated
the situation here and the indignation
against England is intensified. The gov
ernment is still earnestly endeavoring 10
preserve correct officials relations, but
England will do well to hasten to make
the amende honorable to Germany
On absolutely reliable authority the cor
respondent of the Associated Press learns
that Emperor William is now thoroughly
aroused by the repeated seizures of ves-
sells, not one of which, he has
carrying contraband. He regards the
seizures as high-hauded proceedings which
England would not have dared to under
take If the German navy were more pro
fcent than it is. His majesty IS said to
be particularly incensed because informa-
tion has reached him showing that the
seizures were not due to the bundering of
British naval officers, but to strict orders
from headquarters, which the officers are
merely carrying out. He has, therefore,
instructed Count Won Buelow, the Foreign
Secretary, to demand exact and full repa-
ration for the outrage done 10 the German
flag.
No answer that is considered satsfac-
tory has yet been received from London,
and according to advices here, none is TO
be expected for several days longer
To-days news, however, induced the
German government to send another and
more strongly worded protest to London.
