COULDN'T GET MEAT
IN CANON CITY

George Robertson, of Saguache, has
been visiting his daughter, Mrs. Chas.
Mcdonald. this week. Mr.. Robertson
fin-t went through Canon City in 1850,
when houses In the town were very
few. He recalls nm incident of trip
he made through this country in
Is65. Says at that time religious
men in the West were very scarce,
but he found one In Canon in City,
who ought to satisfy the most exact
ing. He reached Canon by wagon
one Sunday morning in 1865, and be-
ing out of meat, looked up the one
store in the village. T,ss store was
then kept by Mr. W. II. Mcclure. now
the Canon Savinsg bank, but Mr.. Me-
Clurc was religious man and wouldn't
sell anything on Sunday. Mr.. Robert
son had TO wait over day or go with
out his bacon, SO he pressed on, getting
meat at Salida. Mr. Robertson says
there were very few men in the West
In those days who were as seriously re-
ligious ms Mr.. Mcclure. He also says
that Mr.. Mcclure looks very little
older today than he did then nearly
forty years ago.
