DEATH OF HENRY LUMPP,

SAID to Have Received Injuries Last Week
Which Resulted Fatally on Sunday.
On Sunday morning last Henry Lump died of
internal injuries said to have been received In a
saloon in this city. There have been some con
il1ctlng reports III regard to the manner In which
he received the Injury that caused his DEATH and
among them, a report that he had made dying
statement, in which he charged Ped Mathison
with having inflicted the injuries. From the best
information we can get In the matter, 1t appears
that Lump and several others, among them Ped
Mathlson and VIII Hetzel, were drinking together
i'll Will Dashleys saloon on Tuesday night OF last
week, when, at Lumpp's suggestion, he was pre-
pared for Initiation into the brotherhood of
Black Knights" by having his face painted black;
that afterwards he was marched around to the
different saloons in town by ''the boys until he
became too much Intoxicated to go farther; and
that sometime during the night he received the
| Injuries from which he died.
On Monday last a coroners jury was summoned
4 by Justice Hartwell and an inquest WAS held. in
l order to give Mr.. Mathison an opportunity tC
clear himself of The ch.irges said to have been
| made against him by Lump in his dying state
| ment. The testimony Of several witnesses, among
them Mr.. Mathlson, was taken In the case; and it
does not appear from the evidence that Mr.
MathfSOn or anyone else inflicted any bodily In
jury upon Mr. Lump.
DR.. Howsey testified that he made an autopsy
on the body of Henry Lump and found the blad-=
der ruptured at the top, Of some days standing,
but that this could have resulted from various
causes.
The coroner's jury, which was composed of H.
A. Smnrr, j. W. Smurr, ]. N. Fox, NJ. Bien, Chas
Kearls and +. j. Leahigh, returned the following
verdict THAT they find that the said Henry
Lump died on Dee. G. 1896. from Il rupture of the
bladder and cause of pressure unknown to the
jury, at the city of Deer Lodge, In Deer Lodge
county, Montana"
The funeral of Mr.. Lunpp occurred from his
home on Tuesday, Rev. Hudtoff OF Butte ottica-
ting. Mrs Lump and daughters, who have been
residing in Anaconda for some time past, were
present at the obsequies of the unfortunate man.

OLD PHILIP ALLEN.

Tie Governor Refuses to Entertain the
Plea for Clencncy in His Case,
Governor Richards spent several hours In Deer
Lodge last Saturday inspecting the new buildin.
and other Improvements at the pententinry dur
ing his stay. While here the governor was pre-
sented with plea for clemency in the case OF
Philip Allen, who was recently sent to the state
prison for the murder OF his wife. The petition
was presented by AttorneyJ. II. Duffy, who de-
Tended the .od man. in his trial, and was signed
by all of the jurors who convicted him. The
grounds set forth in the plea were the age and in
trinity Of Allen; 1t also stated that he has a
brother in Ohio who had offered to care for Lin
the remainder Of his life.
Governor Richards, in replying to Mr.. Duffy
said: "Jnder no consideration can l entertain
the matter seriously. It is out of the question to
consider such a proposition coming so soon after
the mans conviction The governor said. how
ever. he would file the petition in his Office but
would not hold out any hope for the granting of
the same

THE INSANE ASYLUM,
Montana Expended &11S, 700 for the Care
-.- OF Insane During the Year.
From the Hplana JnIanaudopt

Montana Expended $s11S, 700 for the Care
of Insane During the Year.
From the Helena Independent.
Montanas insane asylum, while not strictly a
state institution is admittedly one of the best to
be found anywhere In the union. The contract
system employed by the state has proved so Salts
factory in the past that new departureis Is not am
ticipated In the near future. For many years
Mitchell Il Mussigbrod have cared for the unfor-
tnnates who have been adtudged insane In the
courts of the state. The cost to the state Of
keeping and caring for the insane Is not trit1lng
one. The amount paid out annually to Mitchell
& Mussigbrod, togetherwith the sum paid Conley
McTague constitute large per cent. of the en-
tire expense of state government. The report OF
the state board of commissioners for the insane,
which has just been fled shows that the state
paid out for keeping It's insane during the fiscal
year ending Dec l, 1896, $118 700 40, which is sl2
4S3 so more than expended during the preceding
year.
Every year finds an increased population in the
asylum There we're 334 patients undergoing
treatment in the institution at the end Of the
fcal year of 1885, while there were 1878 In the asy-
lum Dec l, 1896. OF those being treated at pres
ent. 307 are men and II women. One hundred
and seyenteen-94 men and q women-were ad-
were discharged during the year, Is died, five es
capped, and five were removed by friends OF the
whole number admitted since Dec. l. 1896 there
have been discharged as recovered 1875 per cent.
while Of the whole number treated there have
| been discharged as recovered 8.4 per cent The
percentage Of deaths during the fiscal year Is.
The report Of the board dlscoses the singular
fact that the majority Of the patients In the asy
lum are of foreign birth. OF the 378 patients, 1877
natives Of the United States and 229 were born
In foreign lands. The nativity Of IL of them is
unknown. Ten patients were born in Montana.
Missouri furnishes the largest number from any
of the states, 18 having been born there Next in
point of numbers are Illinois and Pennsylvania,
with II and II patients respectively FiftyOne of
the patients were natives of Ireland, So of Ger
many, 2S of Canada and 10 of England.
The board makes this notice Of the death of DR..
and Mrs. Charles +. Mussigbrod in It's report:
1.-THE board regrets to chronicle the death Of
DR.. Charles F. MussIgbrod and his estimable wife
during the present year. The death Of DR.. Mus
sigbrod occurred In Europe, where he had gone in
the hope Of obtaining relief from physical
trouble which had bothered him for many years.
Shortly after reaching Europe, an operation was
he never recovered. DR.. Mussigbrod was an old.
timer In Montana and was greatly respected by
all with whom he was thrown In contact either
socially or in a business way. The death OF Mrs.
Mnssigbrod occurred at Warm Springs. where she
was taken Ill and died very suddenly Her funeral
took place from her residence In Oesober.h
