Body Was Lying on the Ground Beside the Bed and Rain Had Eaten the Flesh Almost Entirely Off His Face—Been Dead Some Time. Without a relative or friend to mourn his passing away, Peter Jensen, a Montana pioneer, died alone and in wretchedness in a small cabin some time within the past fortnight. Barely clothed, his body was on the floor of his cabin, was found yesterday afternoon by a neighbor and had then 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. Jenson lived in a cabin which measured ten feet long and eight feet wide. His bed was nothing more than a board with straw and old sacks. Three worn pillows and no sheets. The old man's clothing was mere rags, threadbare and marks, 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 amount of tobacco in a sack and a few uncorked boxes and a bad smelling tin can in another corner of the hovel. All the dishes around by the poor old man were worn by him at the time of his death. **Had Paid His Debts.** In a small box was found the number of papers, among which were a large number of receipted bills, arranged alphabetically and according to dates. The old man was methodical and he was honest. He owed no man a dollar. Last Sunday afternoon Robert Gleason, a trapper who was familiar with the Jensen cabin, visited the place and knocked at the door. Not getting any response, he began to wonder what company he was 80. Receiving no response to his continued knocking, Gleason 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 knowing that. Mr. Gleason forced an entrance to the cabin and saw lying on the floor a human body. The man is on board floor in the cabin—the rigid body of the old man. He was lying on his side and his hands were raised about over his head, the hands being frozen stiff as if in an endeavor to keep warm. **Coroner Stevens Notified.** Mr. Gleason went to Butte and notified Coroner Stevens, who, with Undertakers J. W. Davis and T. J. Sherman, went out to the cabin and removed the remains. Jensen was well known in Butte and in the surrounding country. He came to Montana twenty-three years ago from Wisconsin. He was a trapper and wood chopper all his life and in residence of Wisconsin. He made many friends in the early days because of his never spoke of his antecedents and any inquiries he would evade. He was a stoutly spirited old man and every one both liked and respected him, with whom he came in contact. Although there seems to be some social pathos running through his life's story, yet he always had a warm feeling for those whom he met. He never talked about himself, and as he always been thought that his history was one full of romance and tragedy, he was a familiar figure about the undertaking establishment. Coroner Stevens decided 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.

Manager C. W. Zwicky, who returned yesterday from New York, where he has been attending to business, stated last night that the company has been sufficiently reorganized to be able to resume operations. Regarding the negotiations which have some time ago under way, by which the company would be able to place $2,000,000 in the treasury, Capt. Zwicky stated that the negotiations had not yet been completed, but were expected and work on the mines would probably be favorably concluded very soon. Upon resuming operations, work will be continued on the 800-foot level of the property. At a distance of 20 feet from the shaft, the men working on this level struck a vein which is believed to be quite rich. The work, already developed on the 800-foot level, has been more than satisfactory to the management. They have gone in somewhat over a 700-foot level, on the Lissis claim, thirty feet, eight feet being of ore carrying the usual Davis-Daily values. The following directors was elected for the ensuing year: Henry Mueller, Carl A. Dahl, C. L. Zwicky, R. L. Gans, W. C. Lander and W. C. Lewis, all of Butte. Capt. Zwicky was chosen as a member of the executive committee, the head of the directors and submitted his report to the board of directors for the information of the stockholders. The reports showed that operations at the properties, particularly the mines at Ainsworth, B. C. and are being developed at the present time and which are said to be very large and profitable. --- ## Personal R. L.

Haywood and others at Boise. --- ## PAT MURPHY FOUND TO BE SICK AND NOT INSANE Pat Murphy was examined in Judge Donlan's court yesterday on a charge of insanity, the complaint being sworn to by his wife, Mrs. Elas Murphy. The testimony of Dr. Sullivan made it perfectly plain from absolute indulgence is strong enough of a plea to justify the action. He was a great care to her, so he was sent in his efforts for New York. The hearing was conducted by District Attorney Connelly, secretary and treasurer. W. R. Zwicky, before the man was not insane, but he was ordered committed to [illegible] county poor farm to remain on bread. --- ## KRAO SILVER MINING CO.
