 A local fan who witnessed several
 games in Boston last week says Frank
 O'Rourke is very popular with the
 Boston rooters. Every time the fer
 mer Mechanic came to bat the crowd arose and gave him a cheer. AL though O'Rourke had been hitting the
 ball hard he wasn't getting 'en safe.
 The Beantown fans declare O'Rourke is a wonderful fielder but deplore his
 lack, of ability to deliver the hits.
 O'Rourke has improved to the ex- tent that he no longer strikes out with great frequency. He is at least
 hitting the ball. Since Bridwell. re-
 covered from his injury O'Rolrke has
 been benched.- He will act as utility l man.

GRANT FORMER RESIDENT.

Maj. Gen. Frederick Dent Grant,
son Of Former President U. S. Grant,
and commander OF the department of
the east. who died suddenly in New
York, was a former resident of Gil
pin county.
In the early '7O's, just after his
graduation from West Point, General
Grant came to Denver upon the call
Of former senator Henry NJ. Teller,
who was then president Of the Colo
rado Central Railway company or was
the company itself, as he puts it, to
take charge Of the engineering de-
partment Of the embryonic road.
Fred was a most efficient engin-
eer." said Senator Teller in recall
ing incidents of the generals former
connection with the road. II remem-
Der one feat in particular which he
accomplished, much to the surprise
OF everyone. He had determined to
route the road along Clear creek.
Everybody said 1t could not be done;
that the grade was too great an Gu
stacle to overcome The wise ones de-
clared that he would have to go
around by Boulder. which would
have been double the distance and
double the expense.
But Fred knew better. He went
ahead with his survey ani then made
the Boulder survey. He demon
strated to me. beyond doubt. that the
Clear creek route was the most prac.
teal one. and since we were hard
put for finances we chose the short
er route. 1t is over that survey that
the Colorado & Southern runs today.
Grant stayed with us for some
time. living in Central City. Denver
wasn't very lively in these days and
he preferred to make Central City
his headquarters. He was just a lad
when he was with us. but was pro
ficient. l was intimately friendly
with him and admired him very
much"

DEATH OF }. J. CLARK.


ilU upon the old time residents of
Gilpin county the past two years and
before surviving friends cease to la
nent the death of one, their sorrow
is augmented by the ppassing of an
other. In Denver yesterday, at St
Uuke's hospital, ]. J. Clark, Of Bald
Mountain, answered the final sum-
mons. He was taken to Denver two
weeks ago and last Friday under
went an operation for cancer of the
stomach. 1t was thought that he
would survive the effects of this op-
Grafton. but the fore part Of the
and yesterday morning it was real
lied by physicians and attendants
that the end was but short space
away.
The remains will be brought to this
city this evening No arrangements
have been made for the funeral, but
the body will probably be taken in
charge by members of the Odd Eel
lows, of which order deceased was
one Of the Oldest members in the
state.
j. ]. Clark was born in England in
1S47, and came to this country in
1865. He settled in Michigan, and
came to Gilpin county in 1868. He
first engaged in mining and later
went into the mercantile business,
conducting a butcher shop in Cen
trail and then one in Nevada. In the
later eighties he became engaged in
the grocery business in Nevada ani
conducted the business until the
time OF his death
During his long residence in Colo
rado, deceased held many public po-
sitiors CT trust. He represented the
county in the Fifth General Assembly
OF Colorado and made a very credit
able record. Shortly after his term
in the legislature as a member from
Gilpin county expired. he removed to
Jefferson county, and was chosen by
the people of jefferson to represent
them in the Seventh Assembly. After
returning to Nevadaville he served
as town clerk for seven years, served
one year as mayor and had been a
member of the school board at var
ioIs times. In 1898 he was elected
member of the board CT county ccm-
missioners and was in office when
tho h4r-o ArtI.
]. J. Clark was affable, pleasant
and wholesculed. He was generous
hearted to the extent Of impoverish-
ing himself. He was Of that nature
that he could refuze no one assist
ance II they were deserving and in
need Of aid. During the trying times
of Nevadaville he filled many an
empty meath and his generosity was
felt by many miner in the hou- of
need. He was a splendid type of
citizen. embodying all that is good
and noble in mankind. He never
spoke i'll Of anyone and always found
comfort in the thought that Nevada
vile would again bask in the sun
shine OF prosperity. The cruelty of
fate is exemplifiedi in his taking away
just at the time when a ray of hope
is held out to the few remaining
citizens OF that once prosperous
camp, in the resumption Of work on
the big Kansas group. II ever a life
was an inspiration and death bene-
diction. the life and passing Of this
good man embrace both.
A wife and daughter survive and
to these the sorrow and sympathy Of
a county Of friends is extended.

DEATH OF RICHARD FLOYD, sR.

convey him to the depot in Black

undergo an operation for gangrene
Blood poison had set in his left leg
as the result Of an injury to the limb
a year or more ago.
The deceased came to Gilpin coun.
ty 70 years ago and for long time
worked as a miner. He met with an
; injury in the Bobtail mine about is
years ago. For number of years af-
ter this accident he sold dry goods
and for the past ten years had con-
Quoted the Floyd house. A wife, four
daughters, two sons, and a sister liv-
ing in England survive him. The fun
eral was held from the NJ. E. church
Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Webber in
eulcgizing the deceased said in part:
Richard Floyd was born in Corn
wall, England. March 21st, 1899, died
in Central City, Colo. April -, 1912,
age 73 years and 81 days.
1.-THE deceased came to America
and to Central City 26 years ago
last February. He leaves a wife, four
daughters, two sons and one sister,
who have the sympathy of many
friends.
"Our brother gave his heart to the
Lord when young man of 1S or 10
years, and cast his lot with the
Methodists. He was licensed as a
local preacher and served on the
PLANK" in the old country and for
many years in this country. He was
a devoted Methodist and for more
than half a century. member of
Gods church. He found great COM
fort in the services Of the church.
especially in the class meeting from
which he was never absent when it
was possible to be present. No one
was or could be more regular in their
attendance at this service. At the last
class meeting he attended, he spoke
Of a member of the class who had
gone to heaven, and said, I'VE do
not know who will be the next, but
if it is me l am ready" He loved
the Bible. II any OF us brought to
him anything else. he would talk to
us about the one book which was
the shcet-anchcr Of his soul. Surely
these dear friends find today, and
will find through the years greater
comfort in the fact that he went
away with his faith in God, and the
old book, and feeling that his work
on earth was done than in any words
that we might bring. l trust these
children will determine today that to
the best of their ability they will
carry forward the work that has oc-
cupied the best of fathers life. l
trust that they will find in this work
snch comfort and assurance as he
found"
