Captain Tonk Was . We'll. known
Character About Wallace.

Wallace, Idaho. Feb. 6.-Captain
TOnk 10 dead. This news came from
Murray Friday morning. says the
Press. No particulars could be learned
beyond the fact that he was. found
dead in his cabin. partially dressed.
indicating that he was in the act OF
taking of his clothes preparatory to
going to bed or of putting them on
after his nights rest, when the sum-
mons came.
Captain Tonk was perhaps the best
known character of the many charac-
ters who gave picturesque cast to life
In the early days Of Prichard creek.
He came to Eagle in the spring OF 1884
and when that camp declined andsMur-
ray forged to the front he took up his
residence there. and there he lived and
died, never leaving except to attend an
occasional circus in Wallace. Upon
these visits he was always dressed in
his best suit of clothes, being the
discarded garments Of some OF his
friends, and on one Of these trips he
sported a plug hat. But poor Tonk al
ways yielded to his besetting vice.
drink. and his friends here would take
charge OF him and send him home. q
wreck OF his former self.
Murray old timers in this city tell
many amusing stories Of Captain
Tonk. and It IL plain that. ahiftless and
irresponsible az he was. they had a
warm and kindly feeling for him. He
was feature Of pioneer life on the
North side. and his death il a sad re-
minder OF those days which possess q
lasting charm for all who lived through
them.
The Original "Huekisbsrry Finn"
There was always much mystery re-
garding the early life Of Captain Tonk.
He was anywhere between 40 and 80
years Of age when he arrived at Eagle
and was therefore between 60 and 70
when he died. He never wanted steady
work. and lived by doing odd jobs.
Money had no charm for him except
for the purpose Of buying liquor. Ev-
erybody in Murray knew him and all
were his friends.
Captain Tonks real name was A. o.
Tonkray. He claimed to have been
in command Of a Mississippi or Mis-
souri, river steamboat called the key
West" and that Is how he obtained
the title OF captain. The most inter-
esting thing in connection with Cap
tain Tonk Is the commonly accepted
belief that ne Is the original Of Mark
Twain's famous character. "Huckle-

that bear out this belief. He was born
in Hannibal. Missouri. where ne spent

Of living are In perfect harmony with
