DUE TO APoPLExY.
Particulars Of the Death Of the Late
e. 3. Kennedy.

According to information received
from Helena the cause of the death
of the late e. B. Kennedy, who died
in that city last Tuesday, was apo
plexy.
Mr. Kennedy was taken sick in a
barber shop and on the advice of one
OF the BARRIERS went upstairs into the
Palmer house and went to bed. Doc
tor George H. Barbour was summoned
and responded promptly. He gave
Mr.. Kennedy restorative, which had
the effect of relieving him for
few minutes. The doctor realized
the seriousness of the attack and
remained with Mr.. Kennedy for some
time and then went in search OF the
landlord to ask him to have a fire
built in the room. When the doctor
returned to the room Mr.. Kennedy
said he was feeling better and an
nounced that he was going to the
Grandon hotel and take room there.
He arose and proceeded to dress him
self and had finished doing so when
he suddenly gasped and fell backward
onto the bed.
The doctor hastened to his side
and raised his head, but Mr. Kennedy
died almost instantly, without having
uttered a word.
The body arrived from Helena yes
terady morning and was taken in
charge by friends.
The funeral took place this morning
at 10 o'clock from the deceased's late
residence, about two miles east ot
the city. Many friends attended as a
last mark of respect to one whom
they had held in high esteem.

BRADY GIVES HIS SIDE.
Denies Published Story Concerning
Bowdoin Lake Reservoir

Bowdoin Lake Reservoir
T. E. Brady, the man who is said
to be standing in the way of an early
institution of work on the st. Mary's
lake irrigation project because OF the
exhorbitant price demanded by him
for the Bowdoin reservoir, has been
heard from. He denies that he is try
ing to "hOld up" the government, or
any one else, for that matter, and
roundly scores the officials of the
Great Northern railroad, whom he
holds responsible for the publication
of the stories connecting his name in
an unenviable manner with the mat
ter. This is the way he told his side
to Great Falls newspaper:
There is scarcely any use taking
the matter up, except for the fact
that there are number of people
always ready to believe anything
We took up the land In question long
before there was any probability OF a
survey made by the government, and
we took it up and now hold it in good
faith. That being acknowledged the
case, it is hardly fair that the inn
preston should be sought to be con-
veyed that we are in the hold-up busi-
ness.
"It is strange to me that Jim Hills
hot air artists should know more
about our business than we know our
selves. There never has been any
offer made by the government, we
have never named a price to the gov
ernment, for our lands, and there are
absolutely no tangible negotiations on
foot regarding the matter. Matters
are not in such shape that they have
arrived at any such stage as that
negotiations are declared off,' and
any such statement upon the part
of any one Is deliberate lie, and told
with the intent to injure. We are per-
fectly able to handle our own pro-
perty whenever there are any nego-
tiations on foot, and we are not ask
ing advice from any one just at
present"

DOCTOR ALIENS BOOK.

Itribution to Western Literature.

Billings Author Makes Interesting Con-
/tribution to Western Literature.
v What is probably the latest contri-
button to literature dealing with
phase of western life that has pass
ed is the book adventures With
Indians and Game, or Twenty Years
in the Rocky Mountains" the author
of which is Doctor w. A. Allen of
this city. The name suggests the
context. 1t is tale simply, but in
terestingly told of the doctors ex-
periences and life in the country trib-
utary to the Rocky mountains, be-
ginning with the later seventies and
ending with the first months of the
present year. 1t contains stories of
fights with Indians in which the doc
tor took prominent part and tells
OF chases after the large game that
once abounded in these regions.
Much that he has written is history
and the rest events in his own life,
all containing just enough dash to
make it interesting, without having
been overdrawn or too highly colored.
It makes good reading for both young
and old and is q work that will un-
doubtedly prove popular because OF
it's historical value.
Like all works of that character
which treat of the period and region
that furnish the material for the open.
ing chapters, it has something in 1t
about Calamity Jane" for 1t seems
that a publication Of that mature
is not considered complete without
some mention of that notorious fe.
male. Had the doctor merely con
tented himself with speaking of her
as he knew and saw her he would
probably have escaped the error into
which he permitted himself to fall
as chronicler Of events of absorb
/, ing interest. Instead. he quotes the
brilliantly hued romance that "Buf
falo Bilr' originated concerning hel
part in the alleged lynching OF "Jack'
Mccall, the slayer of "Wild Bill.'
Mccall was not lynched, nor was he
hanged at Deadwood. After the mur
der he was tried by q miners court
and acquitted. Subsequently he was
arrested and taken to Yankton, tht
capital Of the then territory Of Da
kota, convicted and legally executed
It is unfortunate that the author
could not resist the temptation K
quote SO famous a man as Cody, ~
it gives tone Of fiction to q worl
that otherwise in every respect Is .
plain. unvarnished recital OF fact
\ told without any attempts at the spec
tacular. either in It's recital or tn
subject matter Of which it treats.
