"Mr. M. &. Senter died at Salt Lake
City a 3 o'clock Thursday morning.
While it had been known for several
weeks that the end was near, the news
nevertheless came In the nature of a
shock and was received with genuine
sorrow by everybody in Pocatello. Few
men have ever lived in Pocatello who
had 40 many friends or were held 10 such
high esteem by all who knew him,
"ur. Senter came to Pocatello in 1890
as the cashier of the First National Bank
and held that pOsiti, until last Janu-
airy, when his i'll health forced him to
decline reelection. For the first FIVE
or six years OF his service he was in full
charge of o creations of the bank, and
was an important factor In the business
life OF Pocatello. He was accommodate
ing, considerable and courteous and his
judgment rarely faileo him.
ABOUT two years ago ill health CON-
PEELED him to practically retire from the
active management of the bank Con-
SUMPTION began to make rapid inroads.
The winter before last hespent in Georgia
but seemed to gain little benefit from his
stay there. When he returned here last
spring he had apparently lost ground
but see ned TO gain some during the sum
mer. Last winter he spent at Phoenix,
A'izona, but he grew constantly worse
and couple Of months ago, seeing that
the end was near, he went to his sister,
Mrs. j. F. Allen, in Salt Lake City, and
there, having set his house in order,
raimlv waited Tor the end, which came

Mr.. Senter came TO Idaho in 1888. He
had been in "A bank in his native town in
Michigan but consumption, the dread
disease that carried him off, threatened

months 10 the Custer country, be went

oro'oNoi anu cOlltCtOT Ol bingham county
and alter his removal to this place, he
was twice elected city treasu er. He
was, however, never politician, and
p Id but little attention to political af-
fairs, being elected TO the Offices he held
as asterling business man rathtr than as
the nominee of any party. He was pri-
marty a careful and conservative bust
ness man and leaves an estate of pro
badly $4,000.

1.-The writer knew NJ. C. SeDter vel
both in business and socially, and loved
him az oil did who knew him. M man
in southeastern Idaho had more or
warmer friends. He was most Ioveable
personality, quiet and unobtrusive, al
ways kind and courteous. He was
witnal a superior man-superior as a
business man and superior as q cultured
and educated gentleman, He read much
and was always close observer. and
was both an interesting and intelligent
conversationalist. His too early death
is personal loss to hundreds in this
state"
