Sad Accident.

Professor VIM. H. Pease, of the
University Of Colo, was drowned
here Thursday afternoon in the
North Platte river about l mile
north of town, while fishing. He,
in company with Prof. Geo. Nor
lin, and Dean, John D.. Fleming,
had been here for over a week
spending their vacation and Pres
ident Furrand of the University
had just Joined the party the day
before. All of these men were
enjoying a fine time, and were in
the habit of fishing up and down
the river from town, just as the
fancy took them. Thursday af-
ternoon they went down the river
and were fishing near the "Kindt
Hole" which is about IL feet
deep and very dangerous, owing
to the current of the river run
ming through one side, which
makes an under-current. Prof.
Pease was last seen by his COM
panions about $3.50 p. M, and one
at a time, after hat time, came
back to town, and as Prof. Pease
did not come in by nine o'clock, a
search was started.
1t was not thought anything
could be wrong, as it is very CON-
mon for fishermen to stay out un-
til 10, and even IL o'clock, enjoy
ing the night fishing, which is
very common here. The search
ing party went to where he was
last seen near this deep hole, and
after a short search found his hat
floating near the edge of the wa
ter. A watch was posted, and the
river was searched for some d.
lance.
At daylight boats and other par
aphernalia was secured for drag
ging the hole. 1t was thought
several times that they hooked
something in the bottom of the
hole, but not until nine O'Clock
did they succeed in getting the
body, which was caught by a grab
hook by Jack Fulkerson in a boat
with Geo. Simonis. These men,
together with Geo. Franklin, Will
bur Hugus, Chas. Taylor, Glenn
Scott and many other willing he'll
pers, worked hard and faithful un-
til their efforts we're crowned with
success.
A watch found on the body had
stopped at 3:43, supposedly p. M,
and was taken for the time he was
probably drowned, as the watch,
being open, would stop shortly af-
ter getting wet.
Although these gentlemen had
been here but a few days they
were we'll liked by the people
here and for 80 short an acquain-
lance the town was thrown into
sorrow for the departed man, his
friends and the wife and child left
at home. 1t was indeed very sad,
and especially 30 for his compan-
ions. They were all men of high
standing and it was a pleasure for
this little burg to entertain them.
Prof. Pease was one of the profess
sors in law, at the University.
Just how the accident occurred
is mere speculation and will new
or be known, but not knowing the
river and fishing the rifle that
ran into the hole, it is believed
the professor slipped and was car
ried into the hole, and instead of
trying to make the other shore by
swimming, he became excited and
tried to get back to footing in the
fast water until he either eramped
or became exhausted. The body
was prepared for shipment and
taken to Boulder Saturday morn
ing.

MUSIC LOVERS

A program of unusual merit at
tracted a large number Of Virginia
music lovers to the Moose hall last
hight, where the popular Chicago Trio
entertained with one of the most de-
hghtful programs ever heard in this
city. The Trio was brought to Vir-
ginia by Prof. George c. Jensen, who
is receiving many compliments for
providing such an exceptional enter
tainment
Repeated encores evinced the pleas
ure of the audience. The program was
a choice arrangement Of selections by
the great composers and made an ideal
concert.
While the numbers Of all three
musicians were received happily,
Franz Wagner, the noted .cellist, prob
ably was the. most popular. His play
ing demonstrated what a rare in
strument the. cello is and who beauti-
Jul music may be obtained from the
instrument in the hands of a real
master.
. Isador Berger, the violinist, who
played for the first time two of his
original numbers for the children at
the matinee concert, rendered num-
Der of delightful selections.

CHILDREN HEAR
CHICAGO TRIO

That children enjoy real music was
demonstrated at the Moose hall yes
terday afternoon, when large num-
Der Of Virginia youngsters attended
the concert given especially for them
by the Chicago Trio. The matinee
was under the direction of George c..
Jensen and was a happy feature of
the Trio's engagement in this city.
The children applauded vigorously
the original numbers of !. Berger, the
violinist; who must have great, big
spot in his heart for the little folks
or he could not have played as he did
yesterday. The faces of his youthful
audience beamed when he played his
"Ding Dong" and "A Mouth Organ"
selections. The violinist played six
numbers in all and each brought joy
to the kiddies.
Franz Wagner with the cello and
Miss Prudence Neff at the piano
charmed their appreciative young
audience with delightful numbers. The
enthusiasm of the boys and girls
knew no bounds when the Trio played.
