I am weary of the noisy city,
Its boisterous roar and din;
Its thousand subjects of pity,
And thousand abodes Of sin.
I am weary Of the throngs of strangers
Moving arond like in stampede,
And long for the hillside ranges
Remote from metropolis greed,
Where pecuniary vampires are lurking,
All hours of the day and night
Some innocent victim a-workins,
A physical financial blight

~sPENCER STEVENS DEAD.
Old Sc ttler Falls Dead In Denver After .
Run for His Train,


Running from a Colfax car to the
Union depot in order to catch his train
caused the death Of Spencer Stevens of
Boulder in chair at the depot at Ago
o'clock yesterday afternoon, says the
Denver News. Employees Of the depot
company saw Stevens running and saw
him fall. apparently in a faint. He was
taken into the baggage room and revived
somewhat, but with sudden convulsion
died while seated in the chair.
Police Surgeon Miller was summoned
to the depot to attend Stevens. who was
then apparently recovering from the
faint. When the physician arrived
Stevens was dead. Heart disease had
undoubtedly caused death, as Stevens
appeared to be sufferer from that
malady. The body was turned over to
Coroner McGovern, who investigated
the case.
The coroner found papers and note
books which established the identity of
the corpse beyond doubt as being the
body of Spencer Stevens. who lived at
1905 Marine street, Boulder.
Mr. Stevens was 81 years of age and
had resided in Boulder twenty FIVE years.
He was native of Ohio and while still
young man removed to Missouri. He
was married in Spu'geon, Mo-, and
later removed to Colorado with his
family. He acquired farming and min.
ing interests here and was up to the
time Of his death the owner of fine
ranch north of Boulder and also some
town property. He was a stakeholder
and secretary Of the HighIine Ditch
company. which owns some large reser'
voir tracts in the western part of the
county and ditch rights from that point
to Boulder. His principal business dur
ing the past few months has been con-
Quoting negotiations with the city Of
Boulder for the sale of these reservoirs
for the purpose of supplementing the
city water supply. He was for mum.
bel of years associated with E. L. Coates
in the farming implement and wagon
business. and when the latter was APP
pointed postmaster four years ago he
was placed in full charge. He conduct
ed the business until the time of its SAFE
10 S. B. Border last summer Since then
be has spent his time in looking after his
property interests.
Mr. Stevens leaves large family com.
prising wife and seven children. all of
whom reside here except two sons, who
