AN ABERDEEN PIONEER
GOrdOn's First Partner in Aber
deem Died Last Week in
Sioux Falls

0. A. Fowler, for the past Is years
a resident of Sioux Falls and judge of
the municipal court, and who died
Thursday Of last week, was one of
Aberdeen's first settlers. He was one
of the first hotel keepers in the city,
running for a time a little house call
ed the Alpha Hotel, which was locat-
ed on the east side of Main street,
about where the Dayton block now
stands. He sold it in August 81 and
a few months later formed a co-part-
nership with Judge M. j. Gordon, now
of the state of Washington. He and
Gordon built their own office, which
stood directly in the rear of Lacey's
drug store and which was torn
down about a year ago and removed
to Tacoma park, where Nj. Lacey re-
built it for a cottage. They worked
at the building in a desultory way,
getting into it sometime during the
winter of 'Sl-2. Later they sold this
building to r. H. Hagerty, who began
his banking business in il. Mr.. Fow-
Ter at that time made no pretention
of being a lawyer, but went in as a
land man. He was one of the few
persons who spent the winter of 80-Sl
on the TOWNSHIP of Aberdeen.

GOOD SQUAW NOW
Mrs. War Bonnet Dies With
Moccasins on at B0nesteel

Word has been received here that
Mrs. War Bonnet. a Sioux squaw, died
suddenly at Bonesteel a few days ago
of acute alcoholism, following a pro-
tracted spree. She was the WIDOW OF
War Bonnet, a Sioux %sub-chief, who
was killed in battle with Sheriff Mil
Ter of Weston county, Wyoming, ana
posse on Little Lighting creek, north
of Lusk, a year ago last November.
War Bonnet was with Chief Eagle
Feather and about twenty other bucks
and fifteen squaws and children. They
had been on a visit to the Crows in
Montana and %enroute home had
slaughtered antelope and othe game in
violation of the Wyoming laws. Sher-
if Miller, Deputy Falkenburg n
others started from Newcastle to in
tercept the %marauders, and came upon
them on Little Lightning creek, in
Converse county, Wyoming. When
called upon to surrender, Eagle Feath-
err and his braves replied with their
Winchesters. Sheriff Miller fell at the
first volley, and while lying on the
ground he fired one shot, killing Eagle
Feather. 1t developed afterWard that
it was a shot from Eagle Feathers
rifle that killed Miller.
Deputy Falkenburg was also killed,
and a number Of the posse wounded.
The fire of the officers was deadly,
however, for twelve Indians were
slain, and others wounded. One squaw
was killed by a random shot.
At this battle Mrs. War Bonnet rem
dered her people valuable aid in re-
loading the magazines Of their rifles,
carrying water to the fighters and lat
er in caring for the dead and wounded.
She was an unusually large woman,
the mother of seven or eight children,
and among her tribe she was both
feared and loved. She was brighter
than the average woman but early in
life became an habitual drunkard,
her great thirst for liquor finally end
ing her life.

PlPS IN POETRY

II love thee, | love but thee
And my love shall never die
Till the stars are old
And the sun grows cold
And the leaves of the judgment book unfold
For thou art mine,
Thou muddy swine
To be fed Till the balmy spring,
While the price scars high
In the wintry sky
And a tear of joys in my twinkling eye.

Thou chasest the wolf away,
And down by the track

TEMPE
A BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL,
Whereby Tempe Will Gain a Number
 Of New Brick Houses.

Through Andrew Nielsen a deal was coasummated yesterday afternoon whereby w Lukin becomes the owner of the Holsapple property in Sixth street. just east of Spains blacksmith shop. The property consists of a house and stable and a piece of ground eX- tending 200 feet east frop the black smith shop and 1591a feet north The purchase price was $24O0.
 That. however. is only half the story, and to parties who have been trying for a long time in Tempe to get suit able houses in which to live during the Normal school year the latter half Of the story will be the most interesting. Mr. Luk'n. as has been demonstrated time and again. is an enterprising busi- ness man. He seldom goes into d thing unless he can see his way out and some profit for himself in the bargain. Now he proposes to do something that will not only be a first-class investment for himself but at the same time will be of immense benefit to Tempe What he proposes doing is this: The frame house that is on the property at pres eut will be moved west and will occupy the corner next to the blacksmith shop. facing Sixth street.

will be built between it and the east corner. all facing the south. and a fourth will be built facing east on Myrtle avenue These new cottages will be of brick and modern and up to-date in every respect With electric lights, city water and every convent ence that will make them desirable Tn anticipation of a good demand for class places the coming winter, work on their construction will be com menced at the earliest possible moment. Though the contract for building has not yet been let, it is thought that it will be before the end of the present week, or, at the latest, the first of next Building will be rushed as fast as pos sible, and it is hoped to have at least a couple of the new places ready for occupancy in the very near future. It is pretty certain that there will be no trouble in renting them, for the demand for houses in Tempe has far exceeded the supply for several years past. and as the attendance at the Normal in crcases each year. so does the demand for good cottages for the winter months
 For the present MT Holsapple will continue to reside in the house just sold. but before a great time he, too expects to build elsewhere and will then move into his new location. It begins to look as if Tempe might have a 6rst-class building boom this fall
