MURDERED BY
THE YAQUIS
John K. Mackenzie, Formerly Con.

Is Killed in Old Mexico.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Nogales, Arizona, announces that last
Thursday afternoon, four Americans
and one Mexican were ambushed and
murdered by Yaqui Indians, four miles
east Of Cobachi and IS miles east of
La Colorado, state of Sonora, Mexico.
One of the victims of the brutal saw.
ages was John X. Mackenzie, a min.
ing expert we'll known in Lewistown,
and especially at Gilt Edge.
When John A. Drake, of Chicago,
bought the Gold Reef property about
three years ago, Mr.. Mackenzie was
engaged as consulting engineer of the
company, and in that capacity made
many visits to Lewistown and Gilt
Edge, and formed many acquaintanccs
at the camp and in this city. He con-
tinued to act in that capacity until
about year ago, when the press of
other business made 1t necessary for
him to resign. Mr.. Mackenzie was
accounted one of the best mining en-.
gineers in America, and the services
of his firm were in constant demand.
Personally, he was very popular and
made friends of all who came in con-
tact with him. He was in Montana
about four months ago, and at that
time expected to return to the state
frequently.

the great problem, in that it is one
that requires neither a third rail MOI
trolley wire, and is not tied to a
power house at either end of the line
1t creates it's own power as it goes
along, just as the steam locomotive
does. and two or three railroad men
who have seen it believe it is destin
ed to have great effect on the rail
road business, particularly the branch
line and suburban service. The new
motor was given it's first genuine ties,
yesterday when it pulled the heav,
private car of the general manager
F. A. Delaney, from Chicago to Au
rora. forty miles, in an hour and {
half over slippery rails.
The driving power of the new en-
CINE is electricity, but behind that i:

oline is used to drive the dynamo b!
which the electricity to propel thu

that the electric current is generated
in the locomotive itself. that the new
car is said to be so much in advanc,
OF all others of it's kind.

Great Britain and certain colonies
there is a preferential duty one-third
less than her tariffs against goods
from the United States. We are now
selling Canada nearly three times as
much as we are buying from her. just

Two Famous Meetjnos.

Sundays war news included an in
teresting description of the meeting
of NOgi and Stoessel, last Thursday.
for the purpose of arranging definite
terms for the surrender of Port Ar
thur.
The story has much of human in
terest. the meeting will always rank
as historic. 1t took place at Lone
Tree cottage, the rendezvous, as de-
scribed in the dispatches, being a
miserable howell. The EXTREMIST cour-
tesies were observed, yet the confer
ence was informal. Compliments,
suited to the high-ranking heroes of
the occasion-the victor and the van
quished-were exchanged; the Japan
ese commander displayed a chivalric
spirit. The small-talk of the meet
Ing is quoted in the press news, and
it will be read everywhere with more
than common interest.
Perhaps, of itself, the word tree"
as part of the name of the head
quarters where this interview took
place, is strongly suggestive of a
meeting which distinguished Ameri.
can annals, very nearly forty years
ago. References to that meeting are
made quaint by mention, in connection
with it, OF the famous apple tree"
Truth to tell. Grant and Lee did not
SIT under this tree when they settled

which ended the civil war.
The apple tree may have been a
feature of the environs, but the meet
ing occurred in cottage. 1t was
held April 8, 1865. The confederate
government had taken flight; the ad.
vance guard of the Union forces was
| within Richmond; the confederate
troops were headed off at Appomattox

story of the meeting which followed
will always be of living interest for
all Americans. 1t was an extremely

MISER LEAVES FORTUNE.

Half Million Dollars.

Burlington, N. j., Jan. 21.-Gold,
silver and bills amounting to more
than $4,000 have been found secreted
about the home Of Firman Dubel, who
died at his home here .-cently. For
years Dubel had lived as a recluse,
denying that he had any wealth other

tate will amount to between $500, 900

which there was countless rubbish,
there was $1,7O0, and cigar box held
$4,000 in gold. A thin book contained
between thirty-eight consecutive

clothing in various trunks and clos

money.
Search among old papers after the
death OF the recluse brought to light
