John Weldon Dead.

Dan Tayor came in from Pireance
Monday and reported the death of John
Weldon, which occurred at The resi-
deue OF deceased on Black Sulphur
creek Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Weldon had been i'll for several
months back and for some time little
hope has been entertained by those in
attendance at his bedside of this ultim-
ate recovery. His death was due TO
combination of maladies in which quick
consumption and pneumonia played
leading parts. Medical aid was called
in but the grim Destroyer had already
got the upper hand and it was recog-
nized from the start that death could
only lie STAYED oil for a short time.
Mr.. Weldon WIS Il native of Germany
but came to this country when quite
young. lie WAS Colorado pioneer,
having arrived in the then territory in
the early COS. He mined in California
gu,ci long before the carbonate excite
ment which created Leadville, and
served the people as sheriff of Lake
county. lie was one of the first set
tiers in what is now Rio Blanco county,
and all who have known him here and
elsewhere will be sorry to hear tha;
Honest John Weldon is no more.
1t is not known whether deceased left
any relatives or not, but sympathetic
friends and neighbors consigned his re-
mains to mother earth in an appropriate
mapner Saturday afternoon.
