DEATH OF COL. PIKE.

Word was received by telegraph on
Friday night in Bozeman that Col. Z. B.
Pike, of Emigrant Gulch, had died the
night before of Bright's disease Of the
kidneys; also that he had expressed a
desire to be buried by the Masons, of
which order he was a member, from
the NJ. Z. Church in Bozeman. His
BODY reached here ON Saturdays west
bound train, accompanied by several
members of Livingston lodge, A. F. 4 A..
M. The hearse and number of Masons
of the Bozeman lodges were IN waiting
at the depot, from which place the body
was removed to the church.; Rev. Geo.
stull preaching the funeral sermon, in
accordance with the Colonels last re-
quest. From there the body was taken
to the Masonic cemetery on the hill.
The deceased was sixty-one years Of
are. for. many years a respected
resident of Minneapolis. In 1881 he
came to Miles City in the employ Of the
N. p. railroad company as a civil engln-
eer. In the same year he was made
resident engineer, with headquarters
where Billings now stands. In the early
DAYS of that town iuore than one
person was placed under substantial
obligations to the hearty colonel, whose
hospitality knew no bounds. When the
work of construction ON the Yellowstone
division was finished, and Col. Clough,
the chief engineer Of that division, re-
tired. Col. Pike accepted q position under
n. Clark & CO., the heavy railroad con-
FACTORS. with headquarters at Houper's
ranch near Bozeman While here he
became interested IN the placer mines
Of Emigrant Gulch and retired from the
business he had followed through life to
prosecute his mining enterprises. To
t 4 work he gave his undivided atten-
tion and. we understand, was meeting
with more than ordinary success. For
several years he has suffered from occa-
sional attacks Of the dangerous disease
from which he died, and upon several
occasions approached very closely to
deaths door Many friends along the
Yellowstone will regret to learn Of his
demise
