COLORADO MOURNs FOR HARRIS
Senator Had Expected to Spend Christ
mas in Denver.

Denver, Dec. 24.-Many Denver
residents who knew Senator Harris,
some who mad business or political re-
lations with him, were shocked by
news of his death.
Last Saturday he was expected to
arrive in Denver for a conference with
w. E. Skinner concerning the affairs
of the Denver-Laramie Realty COM
pany, of which Senator Harris was vice
president. Future policies of the Den
ver-Laramie & Northwestern railroad
were to be discussed at this meeting.
Affairs of the Northwestern Land &
Iron company also were to be inspected
by him. He was vice president of the
company.
Senator Harris was farmer and
stockman and as such was widely
known here. He might have been
chosen president of the Colorado Agri-
cultural college when the present pres
ident, Aylesworth, was elected had he
not indicated that he did not care for
the place.
Colonel Skinner and Senator Har-
ris had been friends for years. Their
business interests were associated and
their tastes were identical. The sena-
tor had planned to spend Christmas
and probably New Years in Denver as
his friends CUE st.
