FAMOUS RIVER BOATS BURNED.
Dan Breen, "Bad Man. One Mate of
Old William TowIe.


Sioux City, Ia.-when two old river
boats were burned here this week by the
government and the passenger boat Jose
phine was sold for scrap iron, old river
men got to talking of the lively days the
old boats had seen.
The Josephine was built at Vicksburg
Miss, in 1873, and made its first trip
that year to the mouth of the Yellow
stone river in Montana in 1872. During the
next ten years she worked on the Missis-
sippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers and trans
ported troops to the front during the In
dian troubles.
She took General Towards command to
Bismarck, n. D.. just prior to the Custer
massacre and then she carried 317 Indian
prisoners from Miles City to the reser-
walton at Standing Rock. Col. James
Quinn, who purchased the old steamer
for the government in 1885, was the officer
to sell the old boat here last week, just
twenty-one years to a day after he had
purchased her for the United States en-
gineers.
The William Towle was formerly one of
the Diamond 10 line of Mississippi river
boats, and was bought only a few years
ago for a snagging boat to be used on
the Mississippi river. Dan Breen, once
the mate Of the Towle, was one of the
dad men" associated with steamboating
His notoriety gained its height when he
slew the "Leonidas brothers." In reality
father and son. on board the twin of the
William Towle, the Dubuque. The act
was coldblooded yet no one was ever held
for the crime, although a coroner's In
quest did consider for few moments be-
fore calling the crime justifable homi-
eide.
The Leonidas brothers had travelled
along the river from st. Louis north SELL
ing patent medicines in the cities and
towns at which steamboats, touched. They
dressed in outlandish garb. leather riding
brooches, broad-brimmed hats and high
heeed boots. They had long hair and
strapped to their belts were long revolt
vers.
They took passage on Breen's boat one
day, carried their trunks forward and sat
on them, waiting for the vessel to start.
Breen came out of the lower cabin and,
seeing the men, famed with anger With
, volley of oaths he ordered the men to
! take their trunks aft. The elder of the
two, not knowing what to think of such
procedure, tried to argue with the mate.
Breen turned on his heel and walked to
his cabin, returning with revolver In
his hand. He walked straight to the elder
Of the two men and red two shots, both
taking effect. The victim dropped to the
deck dead
AS the younger man saw his father shot
down he started for the stern Of the boat
begging piteously:
please don't shoot my father. Oh,
please don't
Breen turned on him and the lad start
ing to run fired twice more. killing the
son.
The boat was about to start up the
! river. The captain ordered her run to the
landing and the bodies were taken ashore.
A coroner's jury was quickly inpanellcd
and an inquest was held. The verdict was
"justifable homicide" Breen, thus ac-
quilted, returned to his boat and was soon
steaming. up the river. a hero among
mates and bigger bully than ever.
