Body Was Lying on the Ground Beside the Bed and Rats Had Eaten the Flesh Almost Entirely Off His Face—Been Dead Some Time. Without a relative or friend to comfort him in his last days, Peter Jensen, a Montana pioneer, died alone in his cabin, nine miles north of Walkerville, some time within the past fortnight His body, clad in rags, lying on the floor of his cabin, was found yesterday forenoon by Robert Oleson. He had been dead more than a week. Rats had eaten the flesh almost entirely off his face and his hands were raised as if in awful agony. His body had been frozen stiff. Jensen lived in a cabin which measured ten feet long and eight feet wide. His bed was made of split slabs, covered with straw and old sacks. There was no pillow and not the least semblance of covering except the straw and sacks, which were dirty and foul-smelling. A small stove stands in the corner of the cabin, but there was no fire in it, and the bottom was filled with ashes. Half a loaf of bread, dry and hard, was found in a small cupboard. There was a small quantity of flour in a sack and a few uncooked beans were found underneath a box in another corner of the hovel. All the clothes owned by the poor old man ## Column 2 were worn by him at the time of his death. ### Had Paid His Debts. In a small box were found a number of papers, among which were a large number of receipted bills, arranged alphabetically and according to date. The old man was methodical and he was honest. He owed no man a dollar. Last Sunday afternoon Robert Oleson, a rancher who lives not far from the Jensen cabin, visited the place and knocked at the door. He had not seen the old man for two weeks and thought perhaps he was ill. Receiving no response, he went away, thinking that Jensen was out in the timber somewhere chopping wood. Yesterday he went again to the cabin and again his knock was unanswered. There were no tracks in the snow outside the cabin and this alarmed Mr. Oleson. He forced an entrance to the cabin and saw lying beside the bed on the ground—there is no board floor in the cabin—the dead body of the old man. He was lying on his side and his hands were raised above his head and his knees were drawn up as if in an endeavor to keep warm. ### Coroner Stevens Notified. Mr. Oleson came on to Butte and notified Coroner Stevens, who, with Undertakers J. W. Daniels and T. J. Sherman, went out to the cabin and brought in the remains. Jensen was well known in Butte and Walkerville. He came to this part of Montana twenty-three years ago and has been engaged in chopping wood, which he hauled and sold to residents of Walkerville. He was always a recluse, living alone in his cabin. He never spoke of his antecedents and no one seems to know whence he came. He was a kindly spirited old man and had ever a friendly word for everyone with whom he came in contact. Although there seemed to be a strain of pathos running through his life's story, he had a smile and a word of cheer for those whom he met. He never talked about himself, and it has al- ## Column 3 ways been thought that his history was one full of romance and tragedy. The body is at Sherman & Reed's undertaking establishment. Coroner Stevens stated last night that no inquest would be held, as he was convinced that the old man came to his death from natural causes. No arrangements for the funeral have been made. # ST. JOSEPH SOCIETY ELECTS NEW OFFICERS ### Annual Report of President Shows Organization to Be in Flourishing Condition. An interesting and important meeting was held by St. Joseph's Literary society last night, a feature of the session being the election of officers. Those chosen were: President, R. P. Kelly; vice-president, Larry Duggan; secretary, M. A. Egan; treasurer, A. B. Kimball; spiritual director, Rev. Father Leitham. The new president was presented by the retiring president, P. J. Gilligan, and Mr. Kelly accepted the office with a well-worded address. The annual report of the president was read, showing the society to be in excellent condition both financially and as regards membership. The appointment of the varfous [sic] standing committees will be an order of business at the next meting [sic]. ### FIRE IN NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans, Jan. 7.—Fire in Royal street, near Iberville, in the heart of the business district here today, caused damage to the extent of $250,000. The five-story building occupied by the W. G. Tebault Furniture house was practically destroyed and three other structures were damaged. Mrs. Ed M. Lund, cashier of the Tebault firm, was badly injured. When two women begin to exchange compliments it's the recording angel's cue to get busy. ## Column 4 # RESUME OPERATIONS IN THE DAVIS-DALY ### Negotiations Under Way for Providing Treasury With About $2,000,000 Within the next ten days work will be resumed on the properties of the Davis-Daly Estates company in this city. Capt. C. H. Palmer, who returned yesterday from New York, where he spent the past three months, stated last night that the company has ample funds in the treasury with which to resume operations. Regarding the negotiations which were some time ago under way, by which an English syndicate was to purchase sufficient Davis-Daly stock to place $2,000,000 in the treasury, Capt. Palmer stated that arrangements had not yet been completed, but were seriously being considered and would probably be favorably concluded very soon. Upon resuming operations, work will first be commenced on the Colorado property. At a distance of 200 feet north from the shaft on the 1,000-foot level a vein which is believed to be the Lizzie vein, which is being developed on the 200-foot level, has been cut, and drifting on this will be resumed. This vein was also opened on the 100-foot level, on the Lizzie claim, and at that point showed a width of thirty feet, eight feet being of ore carrying eight to ten percent copper. # KRAO SILVER MINING CO. REELECTS ITS OFFICERS ### Report of Condition of Properties and Finances Being Prepared. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Krao Silver Mining company, at Phoenix, Ariz., last Monday, ## Column 5 the following directors were elected for the ensuing year: Henry Mueller, Carl H. Hand, Dr. Donald Campbell, G. A. Lauzier and W. C. Lewis, all of Butte. Yesterday the directors held a meeting in this city, reelecting the following officers: Henry Mueller, president; G. A. Lauzier, vice-president and W. C. Lewis, secretary and treasurer. W. E. Zwicky, superintendent of the properties of the company was present at the meeting of the directors and submitted his report. A report is being prepared for the information of the stockholders, and will be made public shortly. The properties of the company are located at Ainsworth, B. C., and are being developed for the silver ore bodies, which are said to be very large and profitable. ### Personal R. L. Carey, chief clerk of the Pacific passenger office at Seattle, was in town yesterday for a short time. E. A. Gray, general agent for the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, is in town on business. F. W. Franklin started for Denver yesterday. T. R. Jones went to Chicago yesterday. John Baltic started for Baltimore on the Great Northern last evening. F. W.

Palmer, manager of the Davis-Daly Estates Copper Mining company, returned yesterday after an absence of three months in the east. Attorney Peter Breen returned from Boise yesterday. He was one of the counsel for the defense in the cases against William D. Haywood and George A. Pettibone. # PAT MURPHY FOUND TO BE SICK AND NOT INSANE Pat Murphy was examined in Judge Donlan's court yesterday on a charge of ## Column 6 insanity, the complaint being sworn to by his wife, Mrs. Ellen Murphy. The testimony was that the man was sick, probably from excessive indulgence in strong drink. Mrs. Murphy stated that her husband was a great care to her, as he was in bed sick most of the time. Similar testimony was given by Maggie Murphy, a sister, and Mary Sullivan. It was decided that the man was not insane, but he was ordered committed to the county poor-farm on account of his sickness. # TOURNAMENT WILL END THIS EVENING ### Finals in Series of Curling Games Will Be Played This Evening. The finals in the Leys cup curling tournament will be played this evening on the rink of the Butte Curling club. The final struggle will be between the rinks skipped by McGregor and Wilson, and the contest promises to be an interesting and exciting one. A large crowd is expected to be in attendance to watch the sport. The J. E. Oppenheimer company has offered a box of cigars as a consolation prize. This will be awarded to the losers of two matches to be played between four rinks skipped by Falconer and O'Brien and Beaudro and Harley. One of these games will be played this evening. Next week will commence a series of games which will be played between the eight rinks of the club, and as many more as may be organized for the Goodale cup. In addition to this prize, Hight & Fairfield have offered four copper paper knives as individual prizes. The Great Falls rink is expected to participate in this tournament, which will be one of the best of the season. The ice at the rink is in splendid condition, and interest in curling is increasing with every passing day. Several new members have been admitted to the club within the past fortnight. ## Column 7 # GAELIC LEAGUE HAS INTERESTING TIME ### Excellent Program of Literary and Musical Numbers Feature of the Monthly Session.
