A large number of railway men from Anaconda attended the funeral of their lamented companion, Engineer Freeman Howe, in Butte yesterday. About 30 engineers, 25 firemen and 25 switchmen were present at the grave and the services were very impressive. The members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Switchmen's union and the Fireman's union attended in a body and the services were of the most impressive character. Poor "Foxey" Howe was one of the most reliable men that ever pulled a throttle in the Rocky mountain region.
