is Mangled Almoss Beyond the Recog-
milton of His Maternal Ancestor.
ANACONDA, April 30.-[special to The
Miner. r.l-Professor G. II. Moore. superin-
tendent OF the Pyrenees mine at Cable,
brought yesterday afternoon the news OF q
fatal accident at their mine. The unfor-
tunate man was James Jennings. He had
only been working for the Pyrenees people
our days when his life was suddenly closed
by the explosion OF powder. The facts at
tainable (uot from Professor Moore) are
that Jennings was working in drift with
another man and they had completed the
holes they had been drilling, and Jennings
went back to the place where the powder
and caps were stored to get the material
for blasting and was returning, when but q
short distance from the face of the drift
LOUD EXPLOSION
took place the cause OF which will never be
known. After the body was found hor-
ribly mutilated one hand was torn off and
he was completely disembowled. Nothing
is known of him before his arrival at the
Pyrenees, but it is supposed that he came
from Philipsburg or Granite, and his reti-
cence after coming was so great that it is
impossible at the present to learn anything
of his past history, and whether married
or not. DR.. Hardenbrook, coroner, went
up to hold an inquest, il thought necessary.
As to the cause, it will probably be placed
among those that have happened SD often
BEFORE where that knowledge went with the.
victim.

A WALK OUT.


One night, the first of the week, the pris
oners. three in number, quietly walked out
OF the city jail. Two Of them were captured
while the other skipped by the light Of the
moon. No one seemed to known or care
anything about the matter. Perhaps the
lethargy noticeable in regard to this mat.
ter might be accounted for by the fact that
the present city government is soon to
change hands.
The citizens of Missoula were well pleased

OF the honor shown one of their number.

the wood all into the river. But little of
it was saved.
