He DIED A LONELY DEATH
Body of Egbert Freeman Found
in His Cabin.
INQUEST TO SIT TODAY
Not Known Whether or Not There Is
Evidence OF Foul Play-Deceased
Was an Old Resident of
the County.

The corpse Of Egbert Freeman, a
horse trainer and "broncho~buster,"
was found m the mans cabin near
Helmville. in the northern part of the
county, yesterday. Particulars are
lacking as to whether or not there is
evidence of foul play. All the news re-
ceived came in the following telegram
to Sheriff Jack Conley, sent from
Drummond, on the line of the Northern
Pacific:
''Drummond, Mont, Sept. 24.-Egbert
Freeman found dead in his cabin. T.
B. Mannix has charge of body. Inquest
held tomorrow.
tom MULLIN, Deputy Sheriff
The T. B. Mannix spoken of is justice
of the peace for the township in which
the body was found.
Egbert Freeman, or Bert Freeman
as he was generally known, was one
of the principal witnesses for the de-
Tense in the w. r. Conn murder trial,
which comes on before the district
court Oct. 2. At the preliminary hear
ing Freeman testified that Wilfred, the
man whom Conn killed, had stated to
him that he would FIX the Conn boys
yet" This is one of the points upon
which the defense relied to prove that
Conn was justified in taking the life of
his enemy.
Freeman was between 80 and IS years
of age and was a single man so far as
known. g His business was that of
breaking horses" said G. A. Christoffer-
son, cook at the county Jail, yesterday.
Christofferson knew Freeman, having
lived in that part of the county at one
time. HE has lived in the vicinity of
Washington gulch and Helmville for
the last eight or 10 years." continued
Christofferson. "Of late he has been in
the employ of John w. Blair, who owns
a number of ranches in that vicinity. 1
suppose 1t was in one of Blair's many
cabins that he was living"
The meager information received
from the scene of the finding brings
forcibly to general attention the
strange lack of communication between
the cities and Nevada valley and that
section of the county. The region is one
of the richest agricultural portions Of
the state. Helmville, the center Of the
district, is 25 miles from Drummond,
the nearest telegraph station, while 1t
is 43 miles from Ovando, another i'm
portant point in the valley, to Drum
mond 1t is said some of the richest
farmers of the state live in the valley.
The district is fairly well settled, but
has been overlooked by telegraph and
telephone companies in extending their
lines.

gene Bezenah in Colorado.
Nose La Fontise of Anaconda will
have a hard man against him when he
meets Eugene Bezenah at the Colorado
club in Denver tomorrow evening.
Bezenah is a good fighter and has a
splendid record as can be seen from
the following item published in the
Denver News:
Eugene Bezenah, who Is to meet
Nose La Fontise at the Colorado club
Tuesday night, arrived from Cincin-
natl last evening with his manager,
j. r. Mckee.
"Bezenah is a squares houldered
young fellow with the tv-ical fighters
face. He looks the man of many bat
ties and some victories. BeZenah has
already had his first experience in Colo
RADIO. When he and his party reached
Palmer Lake they stepped out of the
car to get lunch. After returning to
the car and sitting there a while Beze-
nah went out to get a cigar. When he
had made his purchase the Denver &
Rio, Grande train for Pueblo was just
it. while his manager and friend were
steaming on to Denver. They arrived
here yesterday morning at II O'Clock,
while Bezenah did not pet in until
nightfall.
"Bezenah has been defeated three
times. one of these being a knockout
He has foueht four draws with Oscar
Gardner and one draw each with
Tommy Ryan and Louden Campbell.
He knocked Johnny Van Heest out in
10 rounds and Jack Dougherty in II
rounds. Among his other victories are
two decisions over Jimmy Murray"

able to locate a pass much lower than
the Lolo, and a much more practical
route through the Bitter Roots. 1t is
for this purpose that the men depart
to-day.
1T. A. Clark, locating engineer for
the Northern Pacific, returned to the
city Saturday, after three months
absence. Mr.. Clark has been chief of
surveying party running a line of
survey into the Buffalo Hump country.
The actual distance of the line is 124
miles, extending from the mouth of
the forks of the Clearwater, thence up
the south fork, passing Jackson's bridge
to the mouth of the divide into the
Hump country. He retraced from this
point and ran line into Elk City. Part
of this work was of a preliminary char
acter and part was regular location
survey.
"A rood easy grade was established
upon both of these lines. Mr.. Clark
asserts that the road will run through
a rich agricultural, mineral and tim
Der country, and if constructed will
open up these vast industries to de-
velopment. Mr.. Clark states there Is
great activity in mining In both the
Hump and Elk districts and that good
showings are being made In many prop
critics"

HUNTS A NEW PASS.
Northern Pacific Locating Another Route
for Missoula Cut-Of.

Northern Pacific Locating Another Route
for Missoula Cut-OT.
Because the Northern Pacific has
not pushed it's locations further up into
the Bitter Root the summer the impress
sion has been gaining ground that it
has abandoned the idea of building the
Missoula cutoff and putting new line
into Montana Such an impression is
far from the truth.
The Northern Pacific is not satisfied
with the Lolo pass and is seeking
more practical crossing of the Bitter
Roots. A dispatch from Lewistown
says:
"Chief Engineer Van Arsdal of the
Northern Pacific construction work in
the Clearwater valley, accompanied by
Martin Menlie. an old pioneer of the
district, has departed for the Bitter
Root mountains to endeavor If pos
sible, to find a lower pass than the Lolo
pass, surveyed through by so many
engineering parties for the last 20
years.
"This is Chief Engineer Van Arsdats
second trip into this region the last two
months. He spent several weeks IN
midsummer searching through the Bit
ter Root range and over on the Mon
tana side in an endeavor to find lower
pass than the Lolo through which
practical grade could be run over the
Bitter Roots. Mr.. Menlie, his COM
panion, has claimed for years TO be
