M. O'Keefe Dead.

Many of our people were shocked
Saturday afternoon by the news that
Michael O'Keefe,s more Familiarity
known as "Red Mike" had died at his
home in Tower on that day.
mike was one of the Oldest resi-
dents of the Vermilion range. -Four
years ago lie went to the KlOndike in
company with Thos. Fleetwood and
John Herman. He was not as lucky
as expected and returned home where
he again entered the saloon business.
One of his partners, Fleetwood, died in
the Klondike and the other is still
there. In 1894 when the homestead
ers at Tower went after the Duluth
land grafters, O'Keefe was one of the
foremost in the movement. He was
one of the three arrested at that time.
He was man about forty years OF
age and leaves wife and children tC
mourn his death. The funeral occur
ed Monday from the Catholic church
Rev. Father Buh of this city, officiat
ing. The funeral was one of the
largest ever held at Tower. A large
number of friends here tender theil

in consequence game has suffered.

j. ganization with a capital stock of $750.- GOO, will finance the local affairs of the Cotton Manufacturers Commercial company. Contracts were also signed by the Commercial company with the Wool Growers association, in which Boston people are largely interested. The signing of the cotton contracts means that the sale of the cotton will be put in the hands of an organization formed of the cotton men themselves. tuhs doing away with the commission merchants. The Commercial company will cash tro rales thus made. This r,ove-'c on the part of the cotton ner aiose out of a difficulty of the southern splners with the Yarn Mer- chants association of this city last year.
 The spinners propose 10 form an as- sociatlon of their own. which shall hire its own salesmen. They will at the start reduce the commission from to per cent. The Yarn Merchants asso- ciation has declared that mo one shall reduce the percentage below 5 per cent.
 The wool men will have their own agents and sell stock themselves with the commission merchants. After they have sold their wool on time the com pany will cash their sales or where it is necessary carry their wool for them.

INTELLIGENCE OF ANIMALS.

The aptitude shown by animals of the lower order in acquiring human habits is marvellous said a student who lives in the upper part of the city. and the story that the old fiea-bitten mule had learned, to unlock the crib door with a snagged tooth is not, in my judgment, altogether a legend. The chances are that such things have hap pened. have known of inotances where mules would pull gate pins with their teeth or shove a latch up with their tongues in order to break into the corn field There are but few farmers who have not had occasion to observe the same thing. But have found that horses are more observant than mules. While horses are not as cunning. and not as skilled in the artifices of decep- tion and double dealing, I may say
 they are naturally more sensitive in temperament and no doubt reason with more delicacy and more accuracy.
 1T know of one horse, for instance owned by one of the electricians of the city, that will not under any circum- stances. step on a steel railing or go near a swinging wire, because one of | wire several years ago while she had one of her front feet on the railing of a car track, She was knocked down by the shock. but was not seriously hurt Since that ,ime she has been extremely l careful about where she puts her feet! and keeps her gaze on the ground at all times.
 But I owned a little bay mare sev- eral years ago that caused me consid- erable trouble and for more than a month I was very much worried by an unaccountable waste of water on my place. It wao before I moved to New Orleans. The water rates of the town where I lived are fearful. I had hyd- rant in the back yard. Every few nights the water would be turned on In some mysterious way and the yard would simply be flooded the next morn ing. Failing to discover the cause of the trouble before the end of the month. when my water bill had doubled, no- tified the police. believing that some | malicious person was attempting to satisfy some grudge against me. The chief stationed two men at my place to watch the hydrant They concealed themselves and along about midnight they heard a squeaking sound at the hydrant and in a few minutes the water was spluttering out at a fearful rate. They made a rush for the place, think | ing to capture the culprit. but when they got there they found my little bay mare. with her head stuck down in the flow from the hydrant She was drink ing and dabbling in the water. and seemed to be having a good time gen. erally. They reported the matter to me and I had no more trouble about my hydrant. New Orleans Times Demo- | crat.

BANDIT BERT STARR
How He Tried t" Keep His Pal From
 Teaching.

The Rep. 5llcan yesterday printed a story of an order of removal by Judge Street in the care of Bert Starr, arrest ed at Congress molth ago on charge of robbing the postoffice at Graham, Socorro county. N. NJ. in August, 1900.
 There is a story in connection With this robbery which has never been fully told After the robbery, in which there were two participants. posse pursued the robbers and overlook them. A fight ensued in which one of them. William Lane Gibson. was shot down. A mem Der of the posse was also shot.
 The other rob'ber escaped but Gibson was captured and 1t was found that he had been shot twice. He said that when he fell from the fire of tke posse and his companion saw he was helpless. he shot him through the body. intending to kill him to prevent him from giving information which might lead to his capture. Tn the circumstances. Gibson cheerfully gave this information. He said his ccmpanicns name was John Wnrd.s and he told whatever else he knew that might be of value to the officers. Gibson got well. was tried, convicted and Ia now serving a seven year sentence.
 Ward appeared in Prescott soon after the encounter with the officers under the name of Bert Starr. He soon came 10 be recognized as a tough, eitizen. He nearly beat a man to death at Jerome and was suspected of the robbery of the Congress Junction railroad depot year ago. It was also believed that he was the man who held up a Chinaman for $500 at Congress soon after. There was not. however, enough evidence in either cace, to warrant his arrest.
 In the meantime the United States officers were after the companion of Gibson. They learned that the com panionahip was formed at Globe and that the two had gone from there to New Mexico. They later learned that John Ward was Bert Starr. who was then engaged in prospecting near Con- gress. Deputy United States Marshal Nets went to Congress 10 arrest him and was just starting out to his pros- pect camp when he heard that Starr was In the hospital A day or two be- fore he picked up Winchester by the wrong end and 1t went off and broke his arm. The deputy marshal set a guard over his cot and he has since been under the surveillance of some body. He will probably be SO super vised for many years. His friend Gib- son will probably keep rothing back that might facilitate his escape.

Boston. May 24 4-The Rev. Dr. Will fam S. Ament, D. D.. missionary of the American board In north China. spoke at the Twentieth Century club luncheon this afternoon. He answered charges made againss him by Thomas Willard. a war corr spondsnt, who ad- dressed the club a few weeks ago.
 Dr. Ament took up Milliard's state ments one by one, and answered them in detail He had in his hands copy of Millards article in the London Daily Mail entitled "Maraudng Mis- sionaries" and typewriter notes of Millard's remarks before the Twen- tieth Century club. It was to these voted his attention.
 Tt Is always peasant said he, ''to meet American gentlemen, among whom you are sure to find fair play and justice for all It Is in that spirit of fair play that the opportunity has been given me to present my story of the expedition which Mir. Willard de- scribed to you. There are two parts to his charges; his strictures on the be- hayior of foreign troops in general and his comments upon the inadequate equipment of the American soldiers. and his accusations against the mis- sionaries. The first charge, as you are no doubt aware, has been completely answered by the calm, dispassionate reply of Gens raj Chaffee.
 "So far as I am aware I have not met Willard (though he spoke of hay 1tyn |, mel, and from inquiries among other missionaries have not found one who has known him. believe that he has never talked with a missionary in China, nor asked him about his meth ods. When I showed Captain Forsyth, who was In command of the expedi- tion which Willard described. and which I accompanied as interpreter and guide, the notes of his remarks before you his comment was:
 " If anyone has anything to say in regard to your conduct on that ex- petition, refer him to me-
 So if Willard gave you what pur- ported to be Captain Forsyth's opinion on my actions they should be taken with due allowance. With respect to the military expeditions which Willard termed Campaigns of Revenge and spoke O. originating among the mis- slonaries for purposes of loot. I can say that only one military expedition during the whole trouble originated with a missionary. That expedition was asked for by the Rev. Jo Whiting of the Presbyterian mission.
 This expedition Mir. Willard said he accompanied. certify that he did not accompany it."
