Anderson, who gained considerable notoriety in this section two years ago by jumping claims at Bear Gulch in company with Pat Dougherty and others, died at the county hospital Saturday from consumption. Deceased was about 45 years of age and had followed the vocation of a miner in most of the states of the west. So far as known he had but one relative in this country, a brother residing in California. The remains were interred in the county cemetery.

N.C. Anderson died Sunday morning at the poor, farm after a lingering illness. He had been ill for a long time, and was taken to the poor farm some three weeks ago to save him the necessity of hanging around saloons. Anderson was alone and friendless when he died. In Company with Pat Daugherty, the Irish Jew, he engaged for a number in prospecting the Upper Yellowstone, and it was there that he and Daugherty jumped the Legal Tender claim over which so much litigation was had. After months and months of litigation in the courts, the matter was finally settled and Daugherty and Anderson received some $2,500 in settlement of their claim. Anderson returned to this city and immediately went to gambling. He was a poor player, and his $2,500 lasted him but a short time. Since losing the last of his money he had been dependent almost on the charity of friends, and finally, when he became totally helpless, he was removed to the county poor house, where he passed away the last days of his miserable existence. Anderson was born in New York state, and was about 40 years of age. He was buried in the potter’s field. His life was checkered and mottled, his death was the inevitable result of his own acts. There was no friend to shed a tear over his remains, or to say a word of prayer as the plain pine box was lowered to the grave. His partners deserted him when he became useless to them. Having lived without sympathy for his fellow men, he died unwept, un-honored and unsung.

LIVINGSTON NEWS – Livingston, Mont., Feb. 10, 1900. Thomas Lenoghan of Aldridge has been awarded judgement by default against N.C. Anderson for the sum of $30,000 and costs. The plaintiff entered into an agreement with the defendant and Patrick Doughetry to furnish them with the necessities of life, in return for which they were to prospect and locate mining claims and give Lenaghan a one-third interest on all property acquired. Dougherty and Anderson located several claims but subsequently scratched out the name of Lenaghan and inserted that of one Felix McCarthy. The properties were afterwards disposed of and the claims of Lenaghan were entirely ignored.
