TABOR HELD FOR MURDER.
Slayer Of Daniel Rowan Charged This Morning
With Murder in First Degree Answer
Made in Divorce Case.

County Attorney J. c. Huntoon
this morning filed in the district
court an information against John A.
Tabor, charging him with murder in
the first degree. Tabor recently shot
and killed Daniel Rowan while they
were riding on the stage from Grass
Range to Gilt Edge. Both men were
more or less intoxicated at the time
Of the tragedy, and Tabor, it is claim
ed, was quite drunk. Mr. Huntoon
succeeded in developing all of the
material testimony in the case i'm,
meaiately after the shooting. The
defense, of courst, will rely chiefly
on Tabor's condition at the time the
shot was fired and the county attorney
a few days ago had the defendant
under examination by Drs. Peasants
and Biddle, so that the states case is
already thoroughly prepared. Ayers
& Marshall. Tabor's attorneys. have
been equally industrious, and will
present the best defense possible
under all the circumstances The
case will be tried with Judge Stewart
of Bozeman, presiding, and will b.
reached in the near future, although
no setting has yet been made

Henry P Brooks, widely known all
over the state as Governor" Brooks
died Sunday at St. Joseph's hospital,
which he helped to found, after an
illness extending over couple OF
weeks. Death was due to general
breaking down of his constitution,
for although the decea'ent was only
about 70 years of age, having been
born in 1886, his many years of hard
ship in the earlier days told upon
him at the end. The news of his de-
mise came as a surprise to his hos,
of friends here and elsewhere, as few
knew that he was i'll.
An Eventful Career.
Gov" Brooks career was sim
gularly eventful one Born in Ger
many, he reached Minnesota as a
young man and for several years
worked as deck hand and then as
second mate on Missouri river steam
boats. He crossed the plains to
Montana. starting in 1864 and arriv-
ing in the spring OF 1865, when he
joined his brother John, who had pre-
ceded him, in Deer Lodge county. A
little later they moved to Last
Chance. now Helena. and for several
years the decedent was one of tho
most conspicuous figures in that roar
ing camp. The Brooks brothers
