COWBOY SEEMS TO
 HAVE HELD BEST HAND
(From Fridays Daily.)


 Ash Fork had quite sensation on Christmas night at an early hour when the crack of six-shootcrs in the northern part of the town brought several to the scene of the fusillade. A cowboy employed by Duff Brown, I ranchman, was coming into town on horseback after a physician, when m attempt was made to hold him up. The highwayman followed the de- mand by turning loose with his gun, the bullet creasing the overcoat worn by the cowboy, whose name was not learned. The horse of the latter wheeled around in an instant, and as is did so the cowboy got his gun into action. The bullet crashed through the top of the hat of the robber, miss ing his head by about one inch and the latter then started to run. He was followed by six shots in quick succession, and was probably wound ed, being seen to fall.
 Later the hat of the robber was picked uR by a posse and -thc bullet hole therein substantiated the story told by the cowboy.

 PIONEER
JOE L. HOWELL, WELL

 MINING MAN, DIES AT
 HILLSIDE MINE LAST WEEK,
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

News of the death of Joe L. How ell at the Hillside mine, in the Eu- reka district, was received in this city on Sunday evening, the end oc- curing a few days before, after a long illness, which for a time was not considered serious. Owing to the camp being isolated, particulars of the fatal affliction were not ob- tained The deceased had been in this county for over Al years, and was the last miner to survive of the original crew which worked at the Tiptop silver camp during the ex- citement in the 70's. In after years, Mir. Howell became identified as an owner with many mines in this field, and at the time of death was the sole owner of the Big Stick mine and mill on the Santa Maria, ar engagements for the operating of which were being made.
 The death of MT. Howell takes away one of the most honorable of men, and in all his varied financial dealings in the past twenty years in this county his methods were strict ly honest and his integrity unques- tioned, whether a large or a small sum was involved. He was a na- tive of England, aged 65 years, but became a citizen through his fathers naturalization, coming to the coun- try when mere child.
