JOE LOVES CAREER.
Gently Killed at Denver COl.-
Had Seven Wivea

Joe Lowe, who was recently killed At
Denver, Col, possessed one Of the most
remarkable records in the west. He
came from Missouri after the civil war
with record Of having killed four men
in Texas. He went to Deadwood during
the Black Hills excitement and earned
notoriety as man to be feared through
running down every man concerned in
the lynching Of his brother. Only
three escaped by natural deaths. He
ran dance hall in Wichita and Ellis
worth, Kan, when those places were
frontier towns, and was feared by the
tough elements that kept with the
progress Of railroads in their con-
struction. He had seven wives, ac-
cording to the story of his divorcee
and was reputed to be kind husband.
His last fatal affray in Denver was dur
ing the summer of 1897, when a regular
pitched battle occurred at his place. re-
sulting in one death and one fatally
wounded. He was never called down
save once. when Jim Moon, another
tough character of the border, hearing
that Lowe was after him, sought him
out and told him that if he ever ap-
preached his advance would be fatal.
This established an entente cordiale
between the pair, and they remained
the best of friends for life.

events of the assault and surrender, in.
