DEATH OF PIONEER WOMAN.
Mrs. Ellen Fletcher Passes Away
at Noon Today. Resided
Here Over 20 Years.
Funeral Tomorrow.

Another death has occurred in this
city which removes from it one OF the
Oldest residents and most highly respect
cd persons. At just 1850 o'clock today
the spirit Of Mrs. Ellen Fletcher passed
into the great beyond. For more than
year Mrs. Fletcher has suffered from
what was pronounced consumption Of
the kidneys, but had not been considered
seriously ill until within the past two
weeks. For several days she has been
lying at the point Of death and her
friends and relatives have known that
there was no cure for her.
For more than twelve years she has
conducted the millinery store on the
north side Of Main street and was known
to almost every man, woman and child
in the city. OF a very friendly disposi-
ton, many were the people who knew
and loved her.
Ellen Feltman was born November IL,
1843, at st. Louis. On October %, 1865,
Fletcher were born five children-three
boys and two girls,-all Of whom are liv-
ing and who were present at the time Of
her death. In 1879 the family came to
Colorado. residing first at Poncha
Springs and then at Gunnison, coming
to this city with the pioneer settlers in
1882.
The Eve children, who all reside in
this city, are George Fletcher, the
plumber, Mrs. Ollie Boyer, wife Of ]. b.
Boyer, Archer and Alvin Fletcher, twin
Sons, and Little Monte Fletcher. b. B.
Feltman, brother Of the deceased, was
also present at the time Of her death.
TIE deceased was a member Of the
Daughters of Rebekah and the Woman's
Relief Corps in this city. She was in
every sense of the word good woman, .
devoted mother, a faithful friend. No
person has aught to say against her.
She will be missed by passersby from
her accustomed place in her little store.
and many kind thoughts will live with
her memory in the hearts OF her friends.
Undertaker Gourley will have charge
OF the funeral arrangements and the Scr
vices will be in charge Of the Rebekahs.

It having. been established that Jean Gougotz
fouled Hugh Mclean in the finishing mile of the
Park Square Garden race, the Mclean Butler team
is placed fifth and the Gougoltz-Simar sixth.
Mcfarland and his friends ought to be thankful
for the light punishment meted out to him. If he
was instrumental in creating a riot he ought to
have been down for at least a year. Being put
off the srack from until June 10 really means
little, for there will be scarcely any bicycle racing
between now and June l. Mcfarland will prob
ably go TO his home in California. and rest until
the opening of the outdoor racing season. While
Freeman has been fined $50 he has the option OF

Mcfarland Is fine sprinter. well distance
man, and he is one of the best handicap riders IN

he grows too old TO indulge in bicycle racing.
