Death of Aged Pioneer.
Mrs. Martha J. Howe Passes Away After
Brief Illness.

Mrs. Martha j. Howe was laid in
her last resting place on Tuesday al
ternoon. She came to Grant county
in an early day and Immediately
settled in Lancaster which city has
been her home ever since. Born In
New Hampshire, she went to New
York state. where for twelve years
she ranked among the successful
teachers of her day. There she was
wooed and won by Mr.. Geo. Howe
and in the year 1854 came to Wiscon-
sin: in August 1855 she united with
the CONGREGATIONAL church and since
that time no truer examplar OF Chris
tianity has ever walked the streets of
Lancaster. Her life was conserva-
tory of Christie We where flowers

fragrance. and home, on the
street. in the ci II society and in
the church daily e.,il bited those vir-
tines that are the crown and reward OF
fidelity to God Kindness, cheerful
ness, simplicity in devotion were
prominent characteristics Of her life.
She never made an ostentatious
display of her piety, but moved
steadily forward under the momen-
tum of daily communion with Heaven
leaving her imprint on the times
and moulding her life in conformity
with the will of God, helped to mould
the character of the community.
No unklnd word, harsh comment or
adverse criticism ever passed her lips.
If she entertained such feelings they
were never voiced in expression. Her
pastor said in his remarks at the fun
eral that he ''never heard nybody
speak of her but in the highest terms
of praise. and that she was univers-
allv loved. She had attained the ripe
old age of So years, IL months and
IL DAYS, ard now, like the ripened
apple touched by the hand OF the di-
vine SANDMAN, she has been gar
nered in the granary of our Lord,
many will arise and call her blessed.
She is EN- balmed in the memory of
her friends, and will, long be remem-
5ered by what she has done.
OF slender stature, yet always a
very healthy person, often remarking
she had never experienced sick day.
She was active, 1.-the of limb and
muscle, active in brain. being an ON
niverous reader of books, she was
suddenly stricken two weeks ago with
severe pains in her head, and imme-
diatelv took to her bed, and the sec
ond day sank into comatose condi-
ton from which she never rallied aud
on Sunday, Jan. 9th, at 1:30 o'clock,
breathed her last.
Two brothers, DR.. Frank Cole OF
Peru, n. Y. and Warren Cole of
Galesburg, H., survive to mourn her
loss.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home of her step-daughter,
Mrs. Baxter, wife of Ex-senator g. IL.
Baxter to whom she had always been
mother indeed and by whom the affec-
ton was earnestly reciprocated, and
her pastor Rev L. j. Brown addressed
the mourners from the words OF
Paul's Epistle to the Romans. viz:

There's an aged son Of the Emerald
Isle who otliciates as the Northwest
ern agent at Ridgeway, and since the
company has announced its plan of
pensioning employees after they have
attained certain age or after having
been stated term of years in employ
of the corporation, this old fellow has
been endeavoring to exactly deter
mine his correct age. OF the date of
mis- birth he is not certain and while
speaking of the matter to Conductor

mem bers he was born ION the 9Th

A man in this town opened his
heart wide enough last Christmas to
buy his son tool chest for present.
He imagined the youngest had con-
siderable mechanical genius secreted
about himself somewhere and fondly
expected that tool chest to make
master mechanic out of him within
six weeks. Up to date the boy has
sawed off two table legs, four knobs
from the bureau, bored seven holes
through the door and three in the pi-
ano case, and with the aid of the glue
pot stuck the family napkins to the
parlor carpet. His old man has
changed his mind in regard to the
kids mechanical genius.

The Lost Cabin Diggins.

Did old Peter Larb find them years
ago? II had chance to get rich once
longtime ago, and dld not doit because /
did not know the value of gold. saw
plenty, plenty gold in a creek, and took
some which carried in nay bullet pouch
a long time" Such were the words of
Peter Larb, Bla OK Pete, as be was com
monty called, and the finding of rude
ly drawn sketch OF the vicinity which he
made, and his recent death at four score
years of age, recalls an incident IN his
life related by him ten years ago while
he and the writer were hauling hay one
day.
We we're talking about mines and min
ing, and we asked the quaint old man
il he had ever had chance to make a
stake. or heard of the Lost Cabin claim
about which SO much has been said, sur
missed and written, when he uttered the
above quoted words and added. 81 be-
lieve saw the place once, and think l
could fird it again" Knowing that the
old man would tell his story without
urging and in his own way, we did not
press him for its recital but waited till
the spirit moved him to speak.
Il have lived off and on about 45 years
with the Blackfeet Indians" he said
Many years ago with about Is lodges
OF them wntered on little creek near
Chief Mountain where there was plenty
of wood, and there we hunted elk and
buffalo, while our women dressed robes
and made pemmican. 1t was very
mild winter, the ground scarcely froze,
apd very little snow fell even in the
mountains, SO W. had a good time, as
game was very plenty all around us
" g had heard that back in the noun
tains there were some white men living
IN cabin who were taking money out OF
the ground, and had planned with
some OF the Blackfeet to visit them
sometime in the future. One Gay a
small war party OF Kootenais came to
our camp wiCh the scalps OF three white
men, saying they had killed them in the
mountains about two days travel from
where we were camped. They also
brought two horses with them which
they said they had taken from the men,
nut had left one white animal with ears
like q moose of which they we're afraid
because it looked very fierce and made a
terrible noise. They had buckskin bags
filled with heavy dust, gold dust | tell
you, and chunks OF it too. 1t was spring
then and the grass had started to grow.
| proposed to some Of the Blackfeet that
we follow their trail back, see for our
selves what was there, and bury the
dead men the Kootenais had left on the
ground, 50 next day we started, rode all
day, and at night camped by small
lake in the mountains. Next day we
took up the trail again and went around
swampy piece of ground at the head
of the lake through which a stream ran.
In this swamp were many beaver. We
followed the stream to where it forked,
and the trail went up the right hand

State Lands.

0UdUC 1SEnOSs
The state board of land commissioners
has finally arrived at decision in re-
gard to the leasing and sale of state
lands and has adopted the following res
olutions:
"Whereas, 1t is deemed desirable
that some fixed and definite policy he
determined upon concerning the future
disposition of state lands therefore be it
resolved:
First. That state lands nov classified
as agricultural shall be re-appraised
within one year from June 1, 1901, and
all land not under lease at the time the
same is re-appraised shall be sold in the
manner and upon the terms provided by
law. Lands which at that time are held
under unexpired leases shall be sold in
the same manner upon the expiration OF
such leases. Where Unbiased lands can
not be sold within a reasonable time Ia
period to be fixed by the board), the
same shall be leased subject to the right
to sell the same whenever the state SO
desires, notices to be given lessee in such
cases, of intention to SELL on or before
the first day of September next ensuing
and possession to be delivered on or
before 81, days hereafter.
Second. That all timber lands be
likewise re appraised whenever il is
deemed necessary to ascertain its true
value and sold for cash only whenever
deemed for the best interests of the
state.
Third. That all grazing land, the
minimum price of which is SO per acre,
be likewise sold if possible in the manner
provided by law, and in the event
the same cannot be sold, that
the same be leased in the
manner provided by law in tracts not ex-
ceeding $40 acres as provided IN the
enabling act, preference being given TO
the adjoining actual settlers, and in all
sucn leases tnat the right be reserved to
sell said land and terminate said lease
whenever an opportunity to sell is offer
ed-the lease to have preference right CT
purchase and that the further right be
reserved TO enter upon any Of said land
so leased to construct bitches, dams,
fumes or reservoirs under such regula-
tions as the board may prescribe in case
the state or federal government should
require a right Of way there or under
any system of state or national irrigation
which may be inaugurated.
Fourth. That the right to lay out
county roads along the section lines OF
any grazing lands hereinafter leased, il
the same be deemed expedient, is re-
served.
"Fifth That all selections hereafter to
be made, whether as lieu lands or un.
satisfied grants in any county where
more than $4,000 acres nave been select
ed all selections shall be made SO that
not more than two sections shall be con
tiguous at any point, and not more than
l. sections shall be selected in any oae
township; but this subdivision shall not
apply to timber selections.
Sixth. That all selections which the
state is entitled to make out Of any
tracts now reserved by the United
States for that purpose, be forthwith Sc
lected, to the end that such reservation
i may, be released and~opeD TO settlement"

stream, we found the cabin, about 3
o'clock in the afternoon. 1t was built of
logs, covered with dirt, and had hole
cut in the side for window, and the
door was made of an elk's hide. There
we found the dead men, two outside and
one within shot to death and scalped.
the roots of large pine which had
blown do wn, and made a cross of two
sticks and set it in the ground by them.
There we found the animal which the
Kootenais were so frightened at, a white
burro or pack mule as | had surmised,
which took home with me and kept for
my cwn use. The sand and gravel in
the stream had been dug up and shovel
ed out, and there were gold pans, and
sluice boxes there made of boards heWed
out with an ak. "And was there gold to
be seen there Peter" we asked 'Yes, yes,
plenty gold, pieces so big" he said pick
ing up u pebble as large as a grain of
coffee. We found tin box in the house,
probably overlooked by the Kootenais,
and it was full of gold and very heavy.
l took some OF the biggest pieces home
with me, and gave them to the priest
when he came from the North to visit
us. He told me not to go there any more,
and not to tell any one what | had seen
for it would bring bad luck to me and
the Blackfeet, all of which | was fool
enough to believe. "And how long ago
was this Pete" we asked. will have to
get a stick and cut notches in it and
count the years" replied the old man
then 70 years old, and so the conyersa-
tion ended until a rainy day kept US in
the house when he OF his own accord
Lroachod the subject again. With knife
and stick on which he cut notches for
years, he laboriously reckoned the time
which had passed since he was - years
of age, and concluded that 1t was 38
years prior to this time. Then he asked
for paper and pencil and drew rough
map Of the locality as near as ne could
recollect after so long a time had passel.
Afterward he repeated substantially the
same story to a neighbor, and We have
no reason to doubt that Old Pete had
seen something OF the kind III his
ounger days. There are one or two OLD
Kooteuais still living west of the Rockies
who claim 10 know of this place and. re-
member the killing of the white men.
Three years ago one OF these Indians
consented to guide party thither and
journyed to the summit OF the range in
direction OF the locality which Pete de-
scribed, but was taken sick and could
go no farther. 1t was in this section
that Mrs. Dickson OF Dakota whose two
brothers we're killed by Indians years
ago at the so called Lost Cabin diggings
spent the summer in vain search for
the hidden wealth. Can it be possible
that the Lost Cabin diggings were a
reality, and may yet be discovered in
some heretofore unprospected gulch?
