The falling off in activity in the cop. per shares which has been evident for the last week or two is attributed in large measure, says the Denver News, to the decline in copper in London, where there has been steady recess sion from G76 ut the end of February to f66 in llttle over two weeks, equi- valent io abont two cents pound. Notwithstanding this significant rednc- tion in price in copper abroad, copper here has recedcd no more than one half of cent from the highest, and hardly can be quoted under Sl7 50 per 100 pOnuds nuw, which is fonr cents higher than at the end of 1898. In Boston, on the heels Of 40 per cent dividend, Calumet & Hecla shares have dropped from Ss95 to TAO. The par value is Sl00 per share.

Council Proceedings.

At an adjourned regular Meeting of
the City Council Monday night, the
following business was transacted:
Regarding the location of fire
station at Tenth and Main streets, the
fire committee recommended that the
station be located, and that the lot
for that purpose be leased from A.
c. Jensen for term of five years at
an annual rental of 800, Mr. Jensen
to furnish everything. The building
will be 15x26 feet. two stories high,
with stairway outside. The lower
room will have 9-foot ceiling and
the upper story will be ten feet in the
clear, divided into two rooms furnish
ed for dwelling. The building will be
ready for occupancy by the city on
the first of May. Adopted by an aye
and nay vote-4 ayes and l nay.
In relation to the refunding of city
bonds the attorney reported that
neither the bonds nor the ordinance
relating to their issue authorize such
action before 1903, when they fall
due. Considering this phase of the
question a motion was introduced by
Alderman Sam P. Dale as follows:
The matter of an ordinance pro-
viding for refunding the $40,0 out
standing general fund bonds having
been referred to the city attorney, he
reports that because of the peculiar
wording in the proceedings in the
passing of said bonds, and in the
bonds themselves, the city cannot at
this time refund and recommends
that matters regarding such refund
ing be discontinued. 1t is moved and
seconded that this report be received
and adopted.
c. B. Clark and others appeared
before the Board with request that
the water mains be extended from
their present termination on Seventh
street to Walnut avenue in Harding's
addition. No action was taken, but
it appears to be the general opinion
of the Board that very soon some
decisive action must be taken to ex-
tend and increase the water supply
all over that portion of the. city north
of Main street. Just what character
of changes will be most beneficial and
at the same time least expensive has
not yet been fully determined, but
the most feasible change, it seems,
would be the placing of larger mains.

Obituary.
DIED-At Canon City, Thursday, Feb
ruary 29rd. 1899, of la grippe, Lula
G. wife of William r Rridwell

DIED-At Canon City, Thursday, Feb
ruary 29rd. 1899, of la grippe, Lula
G. wife of William T. Bridwell.
In the death of Mrs. Bridwell the
community suffered loss of most
estimable lady. Although Mrs. Brid-
well has been resident of Canon
only few short weeks she was not a
stranger in the community, she having
spent several months in the city Dur
ing the summer of 1894, when with
her sister, Miss Ella Robertson, she
came to Canon for a few months rest
and recreation from school work.
Deceased was prominent educator
in the town of Evanston, ILL.,, where
she was for number of years princi-
pal of the leading schools of the place,
the last two years of her school work
being that of principal of the Noyes
Street school of Evanston. In June,
of last year, she contracted a very
severe siege of bronchitis, which re-
fused to relax its hold upon her and
she came to Colorado in hopes of Sc
curing relief. At Denver her health
improved rapidly until early in Decem-
Der when she was taken with la grippe
and in her weakened condition she
was unable to withstand the rigors of
this disease. Mr.. Bridwell brought
his wife to Canon the latter part of
December, taking her to their beauti-
full home on Pike avenue, and although
every care was lavished upon her she
gradually sunk into peaceful sleep
which knows no awakening. During
her entire illness Mrs. Bridwell was
attended by her sister, Miss Ella
Robertson, both sister and husband
being at the bedside when the patient
sufferer closed her eyes in death. In
his sad loss Mr.. Bridwell, who is one
of the oldest and best known citizens
of Canon City, has the most heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community.
Funeral of deceased occurred Sun
day afternoon, the body being laid to
rest in Canon City cemetery.

Pastor MCMILLAN Resigns.

At the Sunday morning service Rev.
Arthur c. Mcmillan rendered his res
ignation to the pastorate of the First
Presbyterian church of this city, the
resignation to take effect on the first
of July. This action has been in con-
temptation by Mr.. Mcmillan for some
time, he having presented the matter
at the January meeting of Session.
No action will be taken on the resig-
nation until the congregational meet
ing on the 18th of March, before
which body the subject will properly
come.
During his years of connection with
this church Mr.. Mcmillan has made a
gallant fight on the Lords side, taking
up the cause of right against might
regardless of consequences to self or
the opinions of others. He has been
an open and persistent enemy of the
the saloon element, and thereby has
aroused much adverse criticism; but
it can truthfully be said that a major
ity, very large majority of the men,
bership of his church-and church
people in general-regret exceedingly
his decision to leave the field. 1t is
quite probable that strong induce
ments will be presented at the con-
gregational meeting to get Mr.. Nc
MILAN to reconsider his determination.

rlore Trouble for Enricht.

Lyman Robson clipped the follow
ing item from Sundays Chicago Trib-
une and handed it to the RECORD for
publication. The item speaks for it
self:
County Surveyor Louis Enricht
had difficulty in securing satisfactory
bondsmen yesterday in the case brot
against him by Herman Felsenthal for
the Bank of Commerce. He was ar
rested on Friday night. His wife and
Harold G. Smith became his sureties.
The attorneys for the plaintiff object
ed to them and he had to secure others.
Enricht is charged with supplying a
mercantile agency with datailed list
of property and stock and saying he
was worth $4,000. 1t is said he
did not own the property and the
stock was worthless, and that his OBJ
ject was the floating of $l65, 900 in
notes, which he is unable to pay. The
Bank of Commerce wants judgment
on note for 81, 900, which it declares
Enricht says he cannot pay"

OUTCOME OF FAMILY BRolL
Charles Creek Of the Canon City and
Silver Cliff Stage Line Shot
Down by His Son.

When Creeks stage arrived from
Silver Cliff Saturday there came with
it young man who had the blood Of
his father upon his hands. It was
Arthur Creek, aged about l8 years,
and he lost no time in finding Sheriff
Hawkins, to whom he surrendered as
a red-handed criminal. The story he
related in the sheriff's office is about
as follows:
my name is Arthur Greek. l am
son of Charles Creek, proprietor Of
the Canon City and Silver Cliff stage
line. l have not been living at home
much Of late, only going home once
in while to see mother. Father and
| have had more or less trouble for
long time. Have been home the last
few days, but this morning took a
notion to go to Cripple Creek, intend
ing to come to Canon on the stage
with my brother Wallace. To this
the old man objected, ordering me
to get off and go back to the house.
l got off and ran down the road, ex-
pecting to catch the stage as it passed,
but father rode down on the boot
and prevented me from carrying out
l
my intention. We had a row there
in the road, and then went back to
the house and got my gun, 45-cali-
ber revolver. The old man started
to come in the door just as l stepped
out. and l raised the gun and fired.
think the bullet passed through his
right lung. He fell and suppose he
is dead. l saddled horse and over
took the stage, telling Wallace what
l had done."
Young Creek was promptly locked
up as self-confessed patricide, and
DR.. Little, accompanied by Wallace
Creek, was dispatched to the scene of
the tragedy, at the halfway house on
Oak creek. Arrived there, DR.. Little
found Mr.. Creek in critical condition,
the bullet having passed through the
lower part of the right lung, penetrat-
ing the liver, and lodging in the body,
but was not located. He remained
with the wounded man until Sunday
noon, and considers that he has fair
chance to recover.
Sunday morning the young man
said he he didn't give a d-n" as
to the fate of his father. HE monk
eyed with me just as long as he could
and l didn't propose to stand it,
Since he learned that his father might
live, however, his tone has modified
and he "hopes the old man will come
out all right"
| Many stories have been put in-eie-
culation since the occurrence, which
are not calculated to raise the family's
standing in the social scale. One Of
these is, that the male portion of the
outfit have ever been in a combative
state, having tincture of Missouri
outlaw blood in their veins. Another
is to the effect that the young fellow
now in the county Jail for shooting
his father was only prevented from
committing murder few weeks ago
by a Winchester cartridge failing to
explode, he having leveled the gun on
man who was acting as peacemaker
when he and his brother were engaged
in bout. Mrs. Creek, it is stated,
is an estimable woman, who has en-
dured much abuse and i'll treatment
from her husband. She, it seems, is
the only one who has any claim on
Arthur's affections, as his frequent
visits to her would indicate.

On Tuesday of last week three of

of the terrible distress the great

of the snow blockade, decided they
would go and relieve the distressed

that obstructed the trains. So on
