And fools of every color;
But the greatest fools, the most fools,
Do time in Battle Holler."

NOTED GAMBLER DEAD.
|SuCCumbed To Heart Disease In Mex
leo CitV.


Doc Hauck, one of the best known
gam blers and mining experts in the
west, died in Mexico City q few days
ago. Concerning him the Denver
Times says:
sDoc" Hauck is dead. He was one
of the most successful and shrewdest
gamblers in the United States, and
will be well remembered by all of the
old timers of mining camps of the west.
He figured prominently in sporting
circles in Chicago. Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Colorado Springs and Grip
pie Creek when it was in its boom
days:
doc" always posed as mining ex-
pert, and when he chose could really
give the best of service in that capa-
city, but he preferred to stake his
money over the green cloth, and ac-
cumulated quite little fortune from
his winnings.
Two months ago Hauck left the
states and went to Mexico City, osten-
sibly to manage mining properties for
American capitalists. In addition to
this, he managed affairs for himself,
and won, as usual. He died very sud-
denly of heart disease in the Two Re
publics saloon in Mexico City.
He leaves family in Columbus, O.,
and it is stated that be leaves prenty
of money for their support.

PAPERS SENT FOR APPROVAL
To Mr.. Sheldon BY The Architect,
Mr.. Qdrfitt.

In some way a misunderstanding was
engendered by the manner in which
Mr.. Sheldon's agent went to work
to conclude his deal with
somehow that Horace B. Stevens, for
many years Mr.. Sheldon's agent here,
had been superseded, and that the ten
| ants of the Sheldon had been notified
| to yacate a. once in preparation for the
Improvements and remodeling.
The HERALD took pains to ascertain
the facts, and found that the papers
that have passed between Mr.. Parfits
and Mr.. Fisher are prelimin ary, and
proval. The plans for remodeling the
building are tentative, and subject to
Mr.. Sheldon's approval. Mr.. Fisher
has put up cash forfeit to secure his
part of the contract.
Mr.. Stevens of course continues as
Mr.. Sheldon's agent in this city. Mr..
Parfitt came here as an architect to ex-
anime the property and repor. on
the advisability of transform
empowered to make q provisional ar
raDgement with some suitable man if
he should be satisfied of his fitneee.
He was also to report on the PROPOSE
tion to build . fine block on the plaza
property next to the post Office. Mr..

latter improvement for a long time.
Mr.. Stevens received q tele-
gram from Mr.. Sheldon this morning
saying that the alterations would be
made to the Sheldon building If GER
tain sum was rot exceeded aud if the
report submitted by Mr. Parfitt met
with his approval he would give no
tices for the present tenants to vacate
the building.
It is thought that the necessary
changes can be made in two months
and occupancy be given by the first of
the year. Mr.. Fisher. however, is of
the opinion that he will not be ready
to move in before the first of Februa-
ry.
There are two years to run on his
present lease of the Pierson and be
does not know what disposition can be
made of the property. IF he is not able
to sell out he will run the property in
conjunction.
OF course Mr.. Fisher can not
attend to the entire management of
the new hotel and will have associated
with him another:th horoughly.up to date
