A young lawyer who has been practicing

One morning a messenger boy brought
to the young attorneys house a package

A San Francisco special says; John
Glitch Jt died at the Melville house last
evening, in the presence of his wife, who
has been with him in constant attendance
since he was first taken i'll, about three
weeks ago, and other friends. He came
here as manager of Fitch. SchlllIng &
G~oodyear's minstrels, and opened at the
Alcazar theater in Frisco. He had com
planned on the overland journey of feeling
i'll, and several times bad been splitting
blood. This trouble was attributed by his
physicians to a bad fail he had in Denver
about a year ago.
His company PLAYED here for two nights
to large houses and Mr.. Fitch was much
pleased with his success, but on the third
night when he appeared at the theater he
was too sick to remain, and he was taken
to his rooms at the Melville house. There
he rapidly failed, his disease taking the
form of quick consumption, complicated
with pneumonia. His physician says
that from the outset 1t was only a question
of how many days he could survive, as his
condition was hopeless, his lungs being
10 a terrible condition. He will be
buried at San Jose, Cal, where he was
born.
the Denver Republican, in sketch of
his career says that the greatest ambition
of his life was to become u successful
theatrical manager. Three different
times has be made snug sums in the
restaurant business only TO drop them IN
unsuccessful enterprises. HIS last ven
ture in the restaurant business in Denver
was a great financial success, netting him
about 81 900 a month.
In 1887 he purchased a tifteeu-acre
tract of land in North Denver. II was
beautifully shaded within, He COM
menced to improves it with a single idea
in view. to make the spot to Denver what
the famous Woodward gardens are to
San Francisco. Two years he spent at
the work, and last May he opened Elitch's
gardens. They proved an instant success.
They were daily visited by large crowds
and on Sundays from 5000 to 1900
patrons formed the usual crowd. He
built a big theater on the grounds and
conducted it as though it we're located in
the city.
Alter a successful summers business at
the garden he organized and equipped a
minstrel company. The route embraced
all important points in the Rocky noun
tain and Pacific coast country, and,
according to best reports, the COMPANY
was doing well for its owner. The com
pauy was due in Denver in April, here to
disbaud or take part in the garden con-
certs of this summer.
Mr.. Fitch was married to Miss Lydia
Huuck ut San Jose, California. eighteen
years ago. He was then 20; she Is. Their
home at the gardens was beautifully
fitted up. Their hospitality was unbound
ed. Constantly surrounded by friends,
largely of the theatrical profession. they
seldom sat down to a meal alone.
Mr.. Glitch was well known to many
people in Cheyenne. It was his father
who owned a restaurant for many years
here.

BOARD OF CONTROL.
The Organization was Effected at
Yesterdays Meeting.
Laying Out the -Four State Water
Divisions.
Adiudicating a Claim Sent From
Sheridan County.

The board OF control was organized yes
terdaY and held It's first meeting 10 the
Office of the state engineer. The scheme
OF the orRanizat' on is to divide the state
into four water divisions each in charge of
a superintendent who, with the state en-
gineer, constitute the state board of con
troll and in them vests the adjudication Of
water rights and the apportioument of
the water. State Engineer Mead is ex-
ofhcio chairman. The members of the
board are Judge G. w. Holden of Green
River, ". j. Clark, Buffalo, Newton H.
Brown, Lauder. and J. A. Johnston of
Cheyenne. In the organization OF the
board tie latter was elected secretary,
much against his will, because as he lives
here, in the opinion of the other mem
bers, be could most conveniently attend to
the secretary's duties.
In apportioninG the state for water pur-
poses the board divided division No. l, OF
which Mr.. Johnston will have charge,
into two districts. The first district em
braces Pole, Crow aud Dale creeks and
their tributary country. The second dis
trict includes the Horse creek country.
Division No. . will be under the i'm.
mediate supervision of Mr.. Clark. 1t is
divided into two districts. the first OF
which includes the Cheyenne river and
its tributaries and the second Powder
river and its branches to the mouth of
Crazy Woman.
The third division, which is Mr..
Browns consists OF but a single district
and includes the Papoagie to the line of
the reservation.
In the fourth district Judge Holden is
10 charge. None OF the streams in
cluded in 1t nave yet been adiudicated
but it embraces the Green River country.
The board mapped out in a general way
the line of its summers work. In the
fourth division it will include Green river
and its tributaries above the mouth of
New Fork.
The board also took up the Smith creek
adjudication. The case comes from Sheri-
dan county and was accompanied by an
immense amount of testimony. Its con-
sideration occupied the entire afternoon
and will probably not be concluded until
this evening. All the evidence in each
case is infinitely scrntinized because the
board in beginning a work that is so new
is anxious to start with a sure foundation
and establish precedents which will stand
the test Of time and experience. 1t Is
probable that the session of the board will
last well into next week as there are sew
eral cases for adjudication and each one is
accompanied by a big mass OF testimony.

1t is not often that q ship abandoned
as a wreck reaches port in safety. But
such was the case with the ship Ma
thanie; Hooper, of Boston, which
struck on the south shoal, off Nan
tucket, July s, 1888. To tighten the
ship Capt. Bogardus threw overheard
several hundred boxes of sugar; but
she remained last, and as she was
pounding heavily he abandoned her,
fearing she might go to pieces.
All hands put off in boats for the
nearest shore, and as soon as he was on
land Capt. Bogardus hurried to Bos-
ton. 1t was two days before he reached
the office with his bad news.

Down TO the dock went Capt. Bo-
gardus, and scarcely could believe the
evidence of his senses. He rubbed his
eyes and took a second look. Yes,
there certainly was his ship that he had
left aground on South Shoal with a
storm coming up.
Immediately after the crew had left
the vessel the wind changed and blew
her off the shoal. She drifted until
the next morning, when n Gloucester
fishing smack fell in with her, and with
the hope of salvage the crew boarded
her and made for the port of Boston.
Capt. Bogardus was too good a sea
man to lose, and after some pretty Sc

WONDERFUL INTEREST
TAKEN IN THE CALIFORNIA OR.
ANGIE CARNIVAL.
fornia's Magnificent Enterprise
cial Trains Run From Indiana.

CHICAGO, April 18.-There was an i'm
mense throng at the orange carnival up
to the hour of closing tonight. As the
| fact becomes known that this great ad
vance OF the Columbian exposition is ii
the city, the people are manifestinf
their appreciation of it by attending
and this interest is not confined to the
people of Chicago and the state ol
Illinois, but in Indiana wonderful
interest is shown. On Tuesday of next
week there will be an immense excur-
sion, filling several special trains, from
all along the line of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, as far as Terre Haute.
Last night an order came to the carni-
val for 1900 tickets, and an excursion is
announced from there on Friday next,
of probably 1000.
The Inter-Ocean says: This is doubt
less the greatest citrus exhibit, both in
magnitude and beauty of design, ever
made in the United States, and too
much encouragement cannot be given
the California people for the magniti-
cent enterprise and spirit they are
showing in worlds fair matters. So far
this grand state stands first, and at the
head of all states, in an appropriation.
