r Likely to Oppose Disarmament,

i'm, Aug. 5.-The King Of ltaly's
proposal of a contraction of European
ornaments is a subject ON which the
car and the German emperor un.
doubtedly will converse at their meet
ing at Reyal. on the occasion of the
Russian naval manoeuvres. Emperor
William almost certainly will give the
suggestion no encouragement. His
opinion, well known to diplomats, is
that disarmament is a dream of the
future and fantastic idea when con
sdered in connection with the exist

BONNER FALLS DEAD
FROM AUTOr1OBILE


Missoula, July 10. e. =. Bonner,
one Of the oldest and most respected
citizens Of this state, died this morn
ing 1t II o'clock while out for ride
IN his automobile. He was 81 years
old and leaves wife and two daugh-
ters. He has been failing in health

weeks ago returned from trip to the
East for the benefit of his health.
His ailment was due to heart trouble,
which at times has affected him great

across the Atlantic, and took to his
bed al1nost a. soon az he returned.
He did mot leave il until the first
part Of this week, when he ventured
ont on the lawn. Two days ago he
received an automobile, which he had
ordered while in the East, and with
the assistance Of Professor Elrod, a
neighbor, got the machine in working
order and took a spin around the south
aide. He felt 30 good over the first
ride that everyone around him noticed
the Improvement, and believed that
the automobile would be the means Of
IN early recovery.
This morning he awoke feeling in
the best of spirits and as soon as he
could get his automobile out for a ride,
he started it all alone and was 30 much
rejoiced at 1t that ne ran it to Mr..
Elrod's home to show him. He then
turned il around and started for home

pain in his heart, and as he did SO,

and bystanders saw him fall from the
auto. He struck the ground with his
full weight, but it is the verdict of the
family physician that he was dead be-
fore he.left the machine.

STORY OF HIS LIFE.
Though . native of New York. the
greater part Of the busy and success
ful life Of r. 4. Bonner has been spent
in Montana, and he has not alone
figured prominently in one section or
municipality, but has been connected
with important commercial enterprises
in various parts Of the Treasure state,
which he owned and loved az a home.
Oregon was his first Western abid-
ing place. and, when only % years of
age, he made the journey to that ter-
ritory by way Of the Isthmus of Pan
anna and San Francisco. He soon
moved from Oregon to Walla Walla,
WASH, and it was here that he mar
ried to the daughter Of prominent
citizen, Derrick Kenyon.
In Idaho, at an important point on
Kootenai river, Mr.. Bonner a few
years later established a ferry, and to-
day the town Of Bonner's Ferry per-
petuates his name and fame as an en-
terprising, upright business man.
Bear Gulch was the first point in
Montana with which he became as
sociated in = business way. In 1876
he established trading post at that
point. Missoula was his next objec-
tive point, and in that city he. laid the
foundation of his fortune by opening
mercantile establishment, with r. f.
Eddy and Dan Walsh as partners.
The firm name was E. L. Bonner &
Co.
Later, Hiram Robinson was taken
into the concern and a large store was
opened at Deer Lodge. Then Mr..
Bonner disposed of his interests and
made up his mind to reside in Cali
fornia. But he soon tired of the
semi-tropics and returned to Missos|a,
reopening stores there and at French
town. He associated with him this
time his old partner, r. A. Eddy and
A. b. Hammond, who had previously
lcierlred for him. 4s' 4,st
