Last Resident of Ghost,
Town Fights Starvation
HELENA. Mont., March 31.
Jimtown. once a thxlvlng frontier
town, with hopes of rivalling any of
the other "camps'" of the gold rush
days of the west, at last is-deserted
as a place of human abode. Its last
Inhabitant, .one of the. active resi
dents of the days when gold in Jim
town was handled out like flour, has
come or rather has been brought
away. . ...--.-
-Dick Cotter, the last of Jim town's
citizens, although 78 years, of age.
until last fall continued his prospect.
Ine with unabated seal. Occasional
"pans' made him a scanty living, and
he was as indlrrerent to the jines
of other prospectors of this region
as to the cruel winds and the jagged
bnttes of his lifelong home.
After a trip by rescuers to the
abandoned town, perched on the very
top of the rimrock of the Big Belt
range,' one or tne wiiaest sections or.
the Rockies. Cotter has been brought
to Helena, where he Is. being cared,
for by the county,
It was after Cotter had. failed to
make his accustomed trip "to town"
that friends here became' worried
for his solitary condition, and Con
stable J. M." Adamson and Charlei
liegeman of Helena set-out. on a trip
that is a task even in the summer, to
investigate. Through a biting bllx
zard they took an automobile as far
out as they were able to follow the
trail, - and - thjen set out afoot with
ropes.' .
The "ghost town lay deep " In
drifts. With some difficulty, they
found Cotter's cabin. The last1 resi
dent of Jimtown. lay shivering en
his bunk, without fire or food and
unconscious. It developed later that
he. had not eaten for three days.
They fought their way back to town
through the blizzard with' te aged
man, and .it was found that he had
lost his reason through the priva
tions which he had undergone.-
