loa. m. and noon, it is not surprising
that such should have been the case,
as floods gather very rapidly in a local
ity with so extensive a watershed as
that which surrounds Canon City.
The sewers in the lower part of the
city were inadequate to carry off the
water as fast as it fell and the overflow
spread over the streets until they re-
sembled broad, but shallow rivers with
swift currents. The rain came down
in torrents for few minutes about ii
O'Clock, literally piliug itself up until
carried away by the onward rush Of the
food which had gathered force and
momentum on higher ground.
In some localities easements and eel
lars were filled and fences washed away
but the damage done was trivial when
compared with the almost incalculable
benefit which resulted to the garden
and ranch interests by reason of the
precipitation. The roofs of many resi-
dences and business houses about town
were unable to withstand the force of
the downpour and overhowing spouts
and cutters caused the rain to find its
way into places where it was not want
ed and where it was most unwelcome.

siderable difficulty in making their

Water. From Wilson'S Greek.

As will be seen by reference to last
Monday nights council proceedings,
which appear elsewhere in this issue of
THE RECORD, S. H. Atwater, on behalf
of the Park Center Land ard Water
company has made a proposition to
that body to supply the city with
225 900 gallons of water day at the
rate of five cents thousand gallons.
II the proposition is accepted the Park
Center Land and Water company will
pipe the water from Wilson creek to
the northern limits of The city where
mains which now extend into that
part of town. Such a scheme as the
one contemplated would be of almost
inestimable value to the city, partic-
ularly to the residents of Reynolds
and Harding's additions, as it would
sfford them an abundance of pure.
SOFT spring water at all seasons of the
year and would materially help other
sections of the city, as it would enable
the pumping plant to maintain a good
pressure at all times from the river by
lessening the demand for water from
that source Of supply. The water
which comes down Wilson creek is
collected in the Bare Hills country
and is cold, pure and soft. Mr.. At

committee and will duly be considered
by the council.

The Most Famous Grizzly Beai
Succumbs to the Rifle of J.

As the result OF a several weeks hunt
with a large pack OF trained dogs in the
Black Mountain country, J. w. An
thony and W. n. Pigg last Saturday
discovered the trail of "Old Nose" the
notorious grizzly bear whose depreda-
tions on the cattle ranges during the
last thirty years had given him fame
unequalled by any animal of his kind in
Colorado.
After following the trail for about
eight miles "Old Nose" was brought to
bay by the dogs at the bottom I a
little gulch, Anthony and Pigg having
separated "A short time previous TO his
discovery; the former going into the
gulch and the latter making detour
so as TO intercept him in case he at
tempted to make his escape up the
mountain side. Mr.. Anthony was the
first to get glimpse Of the bear, who
was making brave fght to keep of
four OF the dogs that had attacked him.
Approaching to forty or fifty yards OF
I the bear, Mr.. Anthony opened iire up.
on him with his 3h-40 Winchester, the
first two or three shots having no Ap-
parent effect upon him. Having located
Mr.. Anthony, the bear start for him
and got within about two rods of where
he stood in spite of the harrassment
from the dogs, when a shot directly
through the head. midway between the
ears, put an end to his advance. So
great was the vitality of "Old Nose"
that IL required seven shots from Mr..
Anthony's rifle to put quietus upon
his career.

j. C. HAMPE IS
FOUND DEAD
In the Old Smelter on South Ninth
Street. Supposed to Have
Died From Appopiexy.

Joseph q. Hampe, for more than a
year past a resident at $40 South Tenth
street, was found dead in the old smell
ter, near the river bridge on South
Ninth street, about II o'clock last Tues
day night by Bob Carnahan, wEo had
occasion to visit the place ut that hour.
Although the cause of death is a mys-
terry, il is believed to have resulted
from an attack of sppoplexy. or heart
disease. Mr.. Hampe, who left here a
couple Of months ago to look for work
in Greeley and Denver, is supposed to
have returned to Canon City on D. &
X. G train No. Q, which arrived here
about o'clock Tuesday night and to
have gone to the old smelter for a rest
before going home. When found he
had two travelling bags and it was ap-
parent that he had arrived here only
a few hours previously He had a small
amount of money in his pocket and a
date showed had been purchased in
Denver on May 3rd. The remains were
taken to A. E. Wilson's undertaking
parlors where they are being held pend
ing an investigation into the circum-
stances attending his death.
Mr.. Hampe came here from Del
Norte, Colorado. December 25, 1902,
and, with his wife has since lived at
$40 South Tenth street. Seven or eight
weeks ago, Mr.. Hampe went to Greeley
to look for work but was unable to fs:d
anything to do and later proceeded to
Denver where he secured employment
with the street car company. Recently
he wrote his wife that he was not feel

fact, is probably due his success in SO
long eluding his pursuers.
His favorite hnunts, however, were
in the neighborhood of the Strrup
ranch and it was to that place that
Messrs. Anthony and Pigg repaired
when they started out to locate him a
month or 50 ago. They hunted the
country In every direction for several
weeks, but were unable To find any
trace of him until last Saturday when
it was discovered by Mr.. Pigg as pre-
viously alluded to. '0ld Nose" shows
several scars obtained in ssnguinAry
encounters with his foes, of which three
old bullet wounds are, perhaps the
most notable He had so long regarded
himself as monarch of the hills that he
charged Mr.. Anthony with boldness
that proclaimed his confidence in mis-
invulnerability, but his overweening
assurance at last led to his undoing. as
il usually does in such cases.
The carcass of "OId Nose which
weighed about l,I5o pounds, was
brought here last Monday morning and
placed on exhibition at Wright 4 Nor
gans meat market where it was visited
10y several hundred people, who were
anxious to see the famous old bear who
had figured in their imag nation for a
decade. Mr.. PigR. who has been en-
deayoring TO get shot ut 'Old Nose
for twenty years, regrets that he was
not even in at his death, but such is the
irony of fate that houors sometimes
come by chance rather than by indi-
yidual endeavor.
Plans were discussed here few
weeks ago to capture "old Nose" alive
and exhibit him as one Of the attrac-
tions at the Worlds Fair at st. Louis.
but they were abandoned as imprac-
,ible owing to the difficulty of iocst-
ing him and the problems involved in
making him prisoner. The hide,
which IL magnificent one and in
prime condition, was sent to Colorado
Springs where 1t will be mounted by a
taxidermis,.
'.old Nose" received his cognomen
from hr. ftgg nearly quarter oil n
century sgo who bestowed it upon him
on account of the similarity of his
habits and disposition to an old bear Of
that name which ranged among the
fiat tops OF Routt county and Eastern
Utah in the early settlement of that
region. Doubt having been expressed
In some quarters that the bear killed
last week by Messrs Anthony and Pisg
was in reality "Oid Nose" all skepti-
cism on that point was set ut rest by
the discovery OF two old bullets imbed-
d. d in his carcass which established
his identity beyond question. One of
them WAS OF the calibre and pattern
used in the Henry rife and had lodged
in the hide on the opposite side of the
animal from the place OF entrance,
surrounding itself In the years that had
elapsed since the wound was Inflicted
with cartileginous substance that
was almost as hard as bone. This bul.
let Is believed to have been fired by

in until six O'Clock. The storm was ac-
companied by heavy hail, but beyond
knocking off great quantity of apple
bloom is not believed to have done
much damage.
The embankment of the big ditch
gave way before the pressure of the i'm
mense volume of water which poured
into it from the north and several
ranches in the vicinity of Fruitmere
were inundated as result. There was
heavy fall of snow at Cripple Creek
and the entire district was covered with
a mantle of "the beautiful" varying
from six inches to a foot in depth.
There was..also considerable snowfall
on the Greenhorn mountains west of
town, but it quickly dissipated and was
nearly all gone by noon the following
day.
z. L. Flesher. who carries the mail
between this city and Eldred had an
adventure in consequence of the storm
while returning TO Canon last Monday
which. came near costing him his life,
as well as that of his team. Wilson
creek was much swollen by the rain and
Mr.. Flesher realized that it would be a
hazardous undertaking TO cross it, but
as there was no alternative he drove
into the swirling torrent somewhat
dubious about..bein able to make the
opposite side. He had hardly reached
the middle Of thestream when his mules
were swept off their feet by the current
and an instant later team and vehicle
were in the vortex of the food.
1t was impossible to back out and to
a tempt TO proceed was to invite disas-
ter, but.something had to be done and
that very squickly, and Mr.. FIesher
urged his:mules forward. In less time
then it takes to relate it mules, wagon
and driver were sfioat ard were being
carried down:with the current. About
half the time the mules were under
water and their,struggles to free them
selves from the vehicle made Mr..
Flesher's position a very precarious
one. Fortunately the mules were car
ried to:a' pointiwhere they were abe to
get IA footingsafter which they pulled
the wagoa.aad its thoroughly fright
ened occupant out upon dry land.
Everything in the wagon was fioated
away by the flood, including the mail
pouch but this was afterwards recov-
cred by..Mr. Flesher none the worse for
the experience it had undergone. The
marvel is thatMr. Flesher escaped be-
ing drowned, and nobody appreciates
the danger of the adventure more than
himself
