A PLEASANT VISIT
From a Former Well Known
Citizen

Mr.. John Mather, a former
prominent and popular citizen of
this county, spent Tuesday night
in Elbert renewing old friendships
and recounting interesting and
exciting experiences of early days.
Mr.. Mather was resident of El-
bert county long before it was cut
off from Douglas county and when
there were but two or three resi-
dents between Kiowa and Denver
and but one or two to the Kansas
line. When he went to the city
to market butter and eggs he
Travelled after night TO avoid
Indians and many stirring times
were experienced. When our
railroad was built he was one of
the first to cast his fortunes with
this town and erected on the site
where now stands the Beulah a
large hotel which became very
popular with the cowboys and all
residents of that day. 1t was the
general resort of citizens within a
radius of fifty miles and its well
filed tables were always enjoyed,
and when it was accidently de-
stroyed by fire twelve years ago
its loss caused universal regret.
Mr.. Mather held many positions
of honor and trust and is the only
person who ever came dangerously
near defeating Judge Fahrion for
county judge, being defeated by
only one vote. He now holds a
responsible position under Hon.
D. G. Bailey in the U. S. Mar
shal's Office in Denver and is going
down gracefully the decline of
life with the respect and esteem of
very large circle of friends.
His visit WAS heartily enjoyed by
all who had the good fortune to
meet him.

STRANGE DEATH.

We clip the following account
OF the strange coincidence of the
death of Mr.. Henry Bishop, a
brother-in-law of Mr.. J. H. Pur-
den, Elbert's postmaster, from the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
The many friends of Mr.. Henry
Bishop will be shocked to hear Of
his death, which occurred rather
suddenly at his residence on Har-
rlson street late Saturday night.
Mr.. Bishop was in the prime of
life, and, previous to his death,
mad always enjoyed good health.
An attack of grip from which he
had been suffering since Christmas,
became worse during the past two
weeks, and his vital spark became
weaker and weaker, finally fliok-
ering out peacefully last Saturday.
MIR. Bishop was born on Harrison
street "A years ago, and had pass
ed all his life in the Sixth Ward,
IN which he was well known and
popular. He was the son of
Charles Bishop, who is employed
on The Weekly Enquirer. and a
brother of George Bishop, who is
also connected with The Enquirer.
He has all his life been staunch
Democrat, and was prominent in
the politics of his ward. Up to
the time OF his illness he was ems
ployed at the Front street pumps
ing works as pattern maker. He
leaves wife and four children,
one of whom, Irene, has talent
for art, and is beginning to make
a name for herself in the artistic
world. The funeral will take
place Tuesday morning.
A peculiar feature of the death
Of Mr.. Bishop is the extraordinary
fatality, which seems to attach to
the Office of Treasurer of the De-
bolt Building Association, which
was held by him a short time be-
fore his death. Since the organ
ization Of the association every
one who has held the office OF
Treasurer has died while carrying
on its functions.
Mr.. Conrad Fuchs was the first
Treasurer, and he died a year after
he was elected, TO be succeeded by
Mr.. Charles Hcine, son-in-law OF
Mr.. John Hauck, who also died
in office. His successor, Mr..
Albert Springer, died over year
ago, and was followed by Mr..
Bishop in the seemingly fatal
Office. Mr.. Bishop resigned G
few months ago owing to The
illness which eliminated in his
death. He was elected Vice
President, but did not actually
exercise the duties of the office
Mr.. Bishops successor, Mr.. j.
T. Christy, also resigned on ac'
count of severe illness, from which
he is at present suffering. The
strange series of coincidental
deaths has aroused much interest
in those connected with the as,
sociation, and the Treasurership
is looked upon as hoodoo Office,
which only the bravest would care
to accept.
