THE OLD JUDGE HITCHCOCK HOUSE

During the brief stay of the widow of
Gen. Ethan Allen Hitchcock in this city
on the I'D inst, she was interested to
know whether the old residence of the
generals father, Judge Samuel Hitchcock,
was still standing and if so to see 1t. After
considerable inquiry at the city clerks Of
fee and elsewhere. she learned that the
wooden house on the southwest corner Of
Main and Pine streets, now a double tene-
ment and much changed. was formerly
owned and occupied by Judge Hitchcock.
and was probably built by him nearly or
quite a hundred years ago. Commodore
McDonough was quartered In Judge
Hitchcock's house in the spring of 1873
while his fleet was In process of construc-
ton The judge died in November of that
year. and the house was sold by his widow
when she gave up her home in Vermont
and went to Mobile. alabama, to live with
her son. Hon. Henry Hitchcock who was
the first attorney general of the State of
Alabama and the father OF the present
United States minister to Russia. This
was probably before 1920. The purchaser
of the house was the late Hcman Lowry
1t was, as we are Informed, repurchased
by Mrs. Hitchcock after lapse of 20
Years. and was held by her TIL her death
In 1892 1t was, we believe, occupied by
the Lowry family during this period.

University N Medical school.


The new county hospital of Boulder
county is being erected on the university
grounds, for the use and convenience Of
the medical school. This is expected to
furnish facilities for clinical work which
has heretofore been lacking at the uni.
versity. When the decision ef the su.
preme court denied to the State nnivers'
ity the privilege Of conducting two years
of its medical course in Denver, it was
supposed that this department had been
seriously crippled. Not SO with presi-
dent Baker. He did not propose to be
knocked out at all. He Immediately
proceeded to strengthen the course Of the
first two years and made it equal ia all
of the basic scientific studies for a med
ical course to that Of any institution in
the United States. To provide the Los
pital advar tages necessary was his next
purpose, and this will be accomplished
when this new hospital Is completed, as
it will be within tew weeks. 1t will be
handsome structure. which will add
greatly to the university group. lts
chief significance, however, consists In
the facilities it assures to the states med
ical school, which is now placed on q
more advanced ground than it has evel

the youngster just about to assume the dignity
of his first pair of pants.
We can please the little folks with the wide
variety of pattern and color which stock
offers
No matter what the individual taste may be,
it can be quickly met by just the suit to fill the
bill. We please the parents too We have
very large assortment of boys clothing, made
with vim to standing the knocks of the school
life. In strength, serviceability and long wear
our stock leaves nothing to be desired.
As to prices, we can assure you that never in
our business experience have such ster-
ling values sold at such exceedingly moderate
prices. For new, fresh, thoroughly tailored
