When Alberti left Nome last fall the

teeth. Efforts will be made to recover
these, making the skeleton perfect Al

This is the first complete specimen of

.EGAN'.S BODY FOUND
Mountain Businesses in the Vicinity
Of Bolton, Mont. Give Up
Their Dead.
Remains Discovered Only a Short
Distance From the Scene Of
Disappearance.

Bolton, Mont, June 2-The body of
Benjamin r. Egan, superintendent Of the
Kalispell division Of the Great Northern
railway, who disappeared while on a
hunting trip last November, was found
yesterday near Lake Five and only a short
distance from where he was last seen
alive.
The remains were so badly decomposed
that it will be difficult to determine
whether death resulted from exposure or
whether the superintendent was disabled
by an accident It Is believed from the
general circumstances and the character
Of the location where the body was found
that Mr.. Egan was attempting to And his
way to the railway track, and that he
walked parallel to the track instead of
toward it. b4
Superintendent Egan disappeared last
election day, Nov. 4. On that day he and
two friends, the Drs. Houston, had
planned a few days hunting in the noun
tain Businesses thirty miles east of Kalis-
pell, Mr.. Egans headquarters. The three
were taken by a special engine to Corana,
a station nine miles west of Bolton.
It was the plan Of the hunters to en-
circle Lake Five. With that end in view
the car was stopped at the western or
Coram end Of the lake and the Houstons
alighted. The agreement was that Mr..
Egan should proceed to the other end
Of the lake and walk around it to a point
| on the opposite shore, while the other
| two should walk around the end next
Coram and meet Mr.. Egan at the desig-
mated point, which was in plain view from
where the car stopped.
| The superintendent dropped from his
| car at the upper end Of the lake and
started along its shore toward the meet
ing place, while the special engine and
car ran on to Bolton to get out of the
! way of a thru train. Mr.. Egan was
never seen or heard from until his re.
mains were found yesterday.
The search for the missing man was
begun at once, and it was continued unit
it was seen that nothing more could be
accomplished until spring.
The officials and employees Of the road
subscribed a purse Of $500 and posted i
as a, reward to stimulate the search 70,

offered a, reward of the same amount
Later in the winter the men Of tn,
Breckenridge division turned their purs
over to the wife of the missing superin
tendent.
/ AS soon as the snow in the mountain
had disappeared this spring the searcl
Is was renewed. An experienced cruise
from St. Paul was sent to the scene b
the railway company, and together wit
men familiar with the mountains aroun
Bolton they began careful search.
Mr.. Egan was regarded as a fine rail
reader He began with the Canadian Pa
clf1c at Winnipeg. and in 1888 took serv
ice with the Chicago Great Western a
superintendent In charge Of the Dubuou
division. He served that company unit
about five years ago, when he entered tn
employ Of the Great Northern, and wa
quickly advanced to prominent divisio
positions.
