Interest in Bowling.

Interest in bowling matters in this
city appears to be on the increase ii
frequency of the contests between rival
teams and the attendance of specta ors
at these games may be taken MS a crit
erion of growing popularity. Within
the last few weeks a dozen or more con-
tests have occurred at Clair & Ashley's
and all of them have been patronized
by large assemblage OF onlookers,
among them being many ladies, who
appear to be as enthusiastic as the
men.
The last game of the series betwee
representative teams of the Florence
and Canon City Elks was played last
Tuesday night, the latter winning two
of the three contests. A game will be
played at Clair & Ashley's Alleys, 306
Main street, tomorrow night between
the best teams obtainable in Florence
and this city for the championship of
Fremont county and some high scores
are confidently anticipated.
Games with Victor and Cripple Creek
are being planned, although no time
has yet been fixed for the occurrence.
On the 23rd inst. the Canon City team
will go to Pueblo where it will play the
return game with the Pueblo Chief
tains. Arrangements are being made
to get the Canon City team into the
National bowling Association, which
will give local players a prestige not
otherwise obtainable

closing game of the series between the

Died In Vermont.

Jas. J. Gone left at the RECORD office
yesterday clipping from recent is
sue of the Morrisonville, Vermont,
Messenger, containing an account of
the death at his home near that place
of Asahe1 Monroe Burke, who will lie
remembered by all the old residents of
Canon City as having married Mrs.
Sylvia Dewey of this place in the aut-
umn of 1898. We regret that circum-
stances preclude us from reproducing
the entire article handed US by Mr.
Cone owing to the esteem in which his
wife is held by the people of this COM
munity, which describes the deceased
as a man who commanded the respect
and admiration of all who knew him by
reason of his innate honesty and integ-
rity of character.
At the time of the "squatter sover-
Kansas and Nebraska into the Union as
"free states" Mr.. Burke, like many
another young Vermonter, immigrated
to Kansas and passed through all the
vicissitudes of pioneer life in those ex-
citing days. He helped to organize the
town of Mapleton in Bourbon County,
Kansas, and was its first town clerk.
firing of the West he returned to New
England just before the outbreak of
the Civil War and entered upon the
study of law, profession he practiced
for many years.
Mr.. Burke lived a bachelor life until
more than seventy-tive years of age
when a romance of the old Kansas
days was fulfilled by his marriage to
Mrs. Sylvia Dewey of this city, who
survives him. Mr.. Burke was pre-em-
inently an upright man, faithful in all
of the requirements of long life,
mostly spent in some public or private
relation of trust. The confidence held
in him by his fellow townsmen is per-
haps best shown in the fact that he
held the office of town treasurer dur
ing quarter Of a century, without
any bond requirementw whatever. Faith
full to others, he was also faithful to
himself, and, by means of an indus
triously acquired competence, he long
ranked among the largest real estate
owners of his native town.

WAS HE MURDERED
Or Did Train KIN Maynard Bixbee Of
Orionl


Orion, Mich, Aug. 2a.--Mystery sur
rounds the death of MAYNARD Bixbee,
who was run over by Michigan Gen.
trail freight train early in the morn
ing. He was seen by the engineer to
be lying on the track as the train APP
preached, but 1t was impossible to stop
the train in the short distance. Wheth-
er or not he was dead before the train
struck him will probably never be
known, as his body was so badly mu-
tilated by the wheels that it was i'm
possible to ascertain whether there
were any marks Of previous violence.
1t is thought that he may have been
knocked insensible or murdered by
robbers, as his watch was missing.
The robbery of William Shoemaker's
store in Orion the same night gives
color to this theory, but it is pointed
out, on the other hand, that his pocket
book was found lying near the body,
where it had apparently dropped from
the pocket when the unfortunate
young man was rolled along by the
wheels of the engine. 1t is said that
Bixbee sometimes had fits and that he
may have been seized by one while
walking along the track.
Bixbee left the powerhouse down
the road, where he had been visiting,
about o'clock in the morning, saying
he was going back to his lodgings near
Rudd's mill. His way home lay along
the railroad track. At o'clock the
northbound freight ran over his body
The engineer stopped as quickly as
possible, and then, finding that the
man was dead, ran on to the depot
and notified the agent. An undertaken
was sent out to secure the remains,
which were horribly disfgured. The
body was identified by the clothes.
Bixbee was not quite 20 years old
and was employed at Rudd's mill.
