Thousand Dollars.

According to papers filed in the dis
left an estate valued at 5000. Mr..
Phelan had worked steadily for %
years or more for the Anaconda COM
pany, and was a man who saved his
money and invested it we'll. He was
not a miser by any means, but be-
iieved in laying a little something by
for a rainy day. He was not permitted
to live to a ripe old age and enjoy the
savings of his years of toll. His broth
ers and sisters will. however. each OBJ
tain a small sum as a result of Mr..
Phelan's rectitude and careful man
agement.
The dead man had more brothers and
sisters than many of his friends in
Anaconda were aware of. He left two
brothers and -four sisters. Two of his
sisters are married. The estate in the
absence of any will goes to the broth
ers and sisters in equal shares.
Thomas Phelan. a brother of the
dead man, through his attorney, ID. II.
kehoe of Butte, yesterday filed in the
district court of this county a petition
for letters of administration of his
brothers estate. The petition recites
that Kenney Phelan owned lot 3 and
the north half of lot 4. in block 81 vt
the townsite of Anaconda with two
known as Nos. sos n $40 Locust
street. This property is valued at
5000.
The petition further ~recites that ne
had cash in the ban amounting to
81, 140. and that the sum of $40 was
found in his trunk. Then he owned 100.-
900 shares of stock in the Black Dia-
mond Coal company. the value of
which is unknown. He a other per-
sonal effects estimated to be worth
800. The total value of the estate. II
is averred. will not exceed $3.50.
The relatives are named as follows;
Thoma Phelan. brother. now of Ana
conda. aged So: Joseph Phelan. broth
er, residing in San Francisco, aged so;
Ellen Phelan. sister. residing in San
Francisco, aged 81: Mary Phelan. sis
ter, residing in Nevada county, Cal,
aged So: Hannah Meehan, sister. re-
siding in San Francisco. aged So: Mar
garet Dugan, sister. residing in San
Francisco, aged so.
II was this last named sister who tel
egraphed TO Mr.. Ehret inquiring IL the
body could be shipped to San Francis
co. At the time Mr.. Ehret did not
know tha. she was a sister, but sup
posed that she was a relative OF the
dead man. He wired her that Thomas
Phelan of Gold Hills. New, was coming
toAnaconda and that the funeral would
be arranged after his arrival.
Ii will probably not take long to SET
tie up the affairs of the estate. for rs
far as known Mr.. Phelan paid his way
as he went along, so that It is not likely
he had many, If any, outstanding bills.
IL is related of Mr.. Pheian that he
was the only gold man in Carroll;
hat is to say. he was the only man
residing down there who favored the
gold standard. He was not a pugna-
cious advocate of the gold, but would
give his reasons for believing in that
faith. A funny incident in connection
with this matter occurred last spring,
when the silver republican party was
being formed in this country. Prima-
ries were held in Anaconda and at 9TH
er places in the county for the purpose
of electing delegates to a county o
vention held in this city. at which time
the party was officially born as a ooun-
~ organization. To II. X. Nell IL was
delegated to look after Carroll and see
that primaries were held there. Mr..
Nell thought that Mr.. Phelan was a sill
yer republican and approached him rel
alive to experimenting the primaries
in Carroll. Mr.. Nell was much sur
prised to learn from Mr.. Phelan that
he was not a silver republican. but a
gold one
