DEATH OF COUNTY CLERK.
County Clerk and Recorder Of HinsdaIe
County Found Dead.

Denver.-A News special from Lake
City says: l. P. Hix, county clerk and
recorder of Hinsdale county, was found
dead Tuesday morning a mile below
town on the Lake Fork of the Gunni.
son river.
He had been down to see his aged
father, who was i'll at his farm, two
miles from Lake City, and stayed from
early morning until between and 4
o'clock Monday afternoon. He started
to walk back to his home by narrow
path which led beside the creek. He
evidently stepped too near the bank,
and it caved, giving him fall of about
six feet and bruising him SO badly that
he could not get up.
His death, however, was due, not to
the fall, but to heart failure, brought
on by the exposure to the nights
storm. His wife became anxious on
account of his continued absence, and
a searching party was formed, but his
body was not discovered until morning,
when 1t was brought to his home in
Lake City.
Xix was nearly forty-two years old.
He leaves a widow and four small
children besides an aged father and
an invalid brother to mourn his loss.
He had been clerk of this county for
more than seven years and resident
here for twenty-five years. He came
across the plains from Missouri when
he was boy. He was universally
liked, and his death comes as great
shock to this community.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards.-The
market here had very good tone last
week, but prices are about a dime
lower than a week ago on beef cattle.
Eastern markets had a big run last
week and reported prices Is to 25
cents lower, which was the cause of
the decline here. Receipts were about
9,7OO head, but large percentage of
them were southern stockers and of.
ferings of native cattle were limited.
Demand was very good for beef, light
weight steers especially being in
strong request. Best here sold at $4.75
with others at $4.G5 and prices ranging
down to $4.30 on the better kinds.
Cows were wanted, if good, but the
common kinds continue dull. Bulk of
the better killing kinds sold at $500
to $685.. Veals also sold well, but not
many here. Best yeals are now sell
ing around 5000. Several sales OF
southern stockers were reported at $25
for good twos and SIS to $1S.75 for
yearlings delivered. The inquiry for
southern cattle is very good.
The hog supply was heavy and de-
mand this week will not be so strong,
as packers carried over number of
live hogs. Prices have fiuctuated
more or less from day to day, but the
tendency has been downward and tops
at $6.321a are about dime lower than
week ago.
The sheep supply was light and mar
ket quiet. Demand is very strong on
this market for both sheep and lambs,
but prices hardly as firm as week
ago on account of decline OF Is to
% cents at eastern markets.
