in this city Sunday afternoon after an illness of several months.
 For over a quarter of a century he
 has been a resident of this city. He was a leading factor in building up the country. He was a man of most generous impulses and his range in the pursuit of life was of the widest possible scope.
 In all his dealings he bore the stamp of honesty and no better eulogy of the man can be stated than the universal regret that is heard every where over his untimely end. The an- nOuncement of his death brought forth general expression of sorrow.
 His memory for time to come will be cherished in remembrance as a citizen of greatest usefulness and good purpose at all times.
 His earlier life is a thrilling tale of the border days of the Dakotas. When a mere boy he was taken by his parents to YanktOn, in what is now South Dakota. In 1875 he ac- eompanied his father on an expedi- tion to the Black Hills that came into prominence in the memorable gold ex- citement when Deadwood Gulch in famed the country. On that expedi- tion it was a rush through the Sioux Indian infested country to reach the goal.
 On this trip the father of MT. Brow was wounded as were other members of the party. The Brows were engag- ed in this trip in taking in supplies for the few miners that had reached the rich placer ground in that guleh, and with their equipment was a saw mill of the erudest type. On their retreat they were constantly har- rassed by the Indians.
 In a stand taken by the party when attacked, the elder Brow came into national prominence in the fight that followed and in which Robert Brow figured courageously.
 The Brows then went to Cheyenne The following year the government re- moved the reservation lines and with their little saw mill the Brow family entered Deadwood Gulch and put up their mill Theirs was the first saw mill to reach that section, but after several months, they entered other lines of business.

He came down through | Utah, crossing into Arizona by way 'f Lees Ferry. Hearing of the build ] ng of the Atlantic & Pacific, Brow md his companion changed their course and went to Holbrook. Before | they reached the latter place they al most perished from hunger and thirst. | At Holbrook they secured contracts md from that point they followed the -ailroad to the Colorado river, follow ng various lines of business.
 In 1883, Brow came to Prescott, and Il the building of the Walnut Grove lam was connected with that enter prise until it broke in 1890. This misfortune almost ruined him finan- :ially. He came to this city, where le engaged in business and made his iome.
