Death Of "Captain Nelse.''

Narcisse Valleaux, a we'll known
aud old.time resident Of this vicinity,
who was taken to ST. Clair hospital a
few days ago in a very feeble condi-
ton, died in the at institution Sunday
evening. Death was due to paralysis
and the inirmities of age.
The deceased, wto was generally
known as Captain Nelse," was one
of the Oldest Montana pioneers in this
part of the state. He was a man of
very little education, and had a poor
memory for dates, bis story of coming
to Montana being to the effect that
it was in 1855. 1t is believed, however,
that his residence In Montana dated
from the early sixties, one of the old
timers stating that Captain Nelse was
here some time before 1867. He is
said to have been engaged in mining
in Alder Gulch ia the early sixties,
coming 70 northera Montana q few
years later to hunt buff al o and other
wild game for their pelts.
Captain Nelse located q ranch on
the Teton in the seventies and became
interested in the cattle and horse
rsising business. ir which he was
quite successful. There ia some I'm.
certainty as to his exact age, but it is
believed to be about eighty years.
He was one of the few remaining typ
ical character of frontier days.

may enter and leave the house as
they please. Persons afflicted with
smallpox will not be allowed TO enter

trains and street cars.
A news item from Helena now states
that, because of the large number Of
protests respecting the abolition of
compulsory quarantine for smallpox,
Governor Norris has issued a call for
q special meeting of the state board
of health, to further consider the mat
ter. The official call follows:
"The state board of health has here
tofore made an order to the effect that
after January l, 1910, compulsory
for smallpox will not be
required by the board. A large num-.
Der of the reputable citizens of the
state. personally or by letter, have
protested to me against the order of
the board.
