ANOTHER PIONEER PASSED eE.
YOND THE VEIL.

i With the death OF Ben Harwood.
which occurred at 4:45 Thursday aft
ernoon OF heart trouble. at Ochsner
hospital, we are reminded that another
pioneer has passed on: another link
that bound past and present has been
broken; another landmark of early
days has been taken away.
Sixtysix years ago Ben Harwood
was born, and lived not quite half OF
/ his life IN the east. In 1874, he came
/ from Iowa. while in his early thirties.
At that time. he was In the emDloy
OF George Green & Company. railroad
contractors. who built smelter In
Silverton.
Mr.. Harwood had married, and
Frank was the first child born in
Silveiton. The latter died some years
ago.
For thlrty-four years Mr.. Harwood
has had part In the life OF the San
Juan For many years he was road
overseer In Silverton. No one could
speak more authoritatiyely than he
OF early days, since TO him they were
but as yesterday. and the toll and
hardships. as we'll as the pleasures of
pioneer times were to him as familiar
as an oft told tale.
His wife and two daughters. Mrs.
Merrill Dowd, and Mrs. Chas Leonard,
all OF Silyerton survive him.
This morning at 10 o'clock, all that
remains of Ben Harwood, the pioneer,
was laid away on that Silverton hill
side, within sight OF the scenes he
had freauented for the greater part OF
bis life
This one by one, to rest.
Earth's tired children turn,
And lay their weary heads
Upon their mothers breast"

DURANGO LOSES TO sILvERroh

AT last Durango has lost Il ball
game, Silverton winning yesterdays
game by score of . to T.
There was a large crowd present TO
witness genuine slugeing match
both pitchers being hit frequently, the
only difference being that Silverton
landed most OF It's hits between the
in and outfields while the Durango
boys invariably batted balls into the
hands of either left or center fielder
Silverton started out with three runs
while the Durangos only made one
then Silyerton added two In the sec
ond, giving the visitors a decided lead
which the home boys were unable TO
overcome although there were several
occasions when lucky single or two
baser would have tied or won the
game. After the second inning Hub
bard got In form and II was lucky
hitting and errors on the part OF the
home team that permitted additional
runs. Anheier, Hughes and Har-
graves made excellent records with
the stick. the rest OF the local boys
not being up to the average they have
been making. When Durango went to
bat In the last half of the ninth Sill
verton had a lead OF four and the
Durangos made strong effort to
overcome this and lucky hit or
two would have accomplished IT, but
all that could be done only resulted in
two runs. 1t was a good game. and
pleased the spectators.
