ON WATER WAGON
A LONG TIME

No man in Canon City can claim
to have been on THE water wagon
longer. either figuratively or actually.
than w. S. Merris, and it is safe to
say that none has made a more con-
scientious job of it than he in either
respect.
Mr.. Merris is the city sprinkler,
position he has held for eleven and a
half years, and, in all of that time,
he has never caused team of horses
to run away or had an accident of
any kind, which is as creditable as it
is unusual. His record has been a
remarkable one both il the devotion
Of his service to the city and in the
uninterrupted character of his work
Mr.. Merris was appointed to be
street sprinkler on April 15. 1902, and
with the exception of one year, dur
ing which he gave his attention to
other matters, he has held the place
from that time to this. While he has
not been endeavoring ito keep down
the dust" every day since he entered
upon the job the exceptions have
ben comparatively few and were
mere deviations from an almost con-
slant round of duty. He has sprinkled
sater enough on Main street and its
intersecting highways during the last
decade to create fair-sized lake, or
stream large enough to float a Miss
issippi steamboat and he has done
il SO modestly as to attract but little
public notice. The supply of water
for his uses, he says. seems to be as
great now as when he began opera
tions, but where it all comes from,
he continues, is something of a mys-
terry. He is convinced that the foun-
tains at the source of the Arkansas
river are practically inexhaustible.
Mr.. Merris sprinkles during the
summer months from forty to forty
two tanks of water on the streets ev-
cry day each Of them holding five
hundred and ffty-four gallons. Dur
ing the winter months. when the
working hours are less. he sprinkles
daily on the roadway from thirty-two
to thirty -four tanks of water of equal
capacity. The maximum amount of
water used by him for public sprink-
ling every twenty-four hours during
the summer season is 1886 gallons,
or total Of 4ss. .7s6 gallons q month.
Mr.. Merris says there has never
been a full month since he entered
the employ of the city that he has not
had to sprinkle the streets to maintain
the proper moisture on the road
ways to keep down the dust although
there have been occasional stretches
of ten days or two weeks when the
rainfall made his work unnecessary.
The efficiency of Mr.. Merris as q
street sprinkler is enhanced by the
fine team of horses he mploys in con
uection with his undertaking. They
| hardly less consecrated and de
pendable than their owner and driver
and combine to render the street
sprinkling service as perfect as one
man and two horses can make it.

MAN
COMMITS SUICIDE

Despondent over his long illness
william Hunden, aged sixty-three
years and for more than a quarter
of a century a resident of Fremont
county, committed suicide at the
home of his son. David Hunden, lit
tie before noon on Sunday Dy stabbing
himself in the side and throat with
a sharp-pointed pocket knife. Twelve
or fifteen ugly looking cuts were in
flicted and the victim died fifteen or
twenty minutes later from the loss
OF blood before medical aid could be
summoned.
Coroner Atkinson of Florence, who
was called and made an examination
of the wounds. tated that the jugular
vein was severed and that death re-
suited from hemorrhage. The mans
clothing was soaked with blood and 1t
was evident from the examination
that the knife blade had in every in
stance penetrated the body for a con-
siderable distance. especially in the
region OF the heart.
Mr.. Hunden had been in poor health
for several years, having suffered
from an asthmatic trouble contracted
during the many years ne was employ
ed as coal miner. The ailment with
which he was afflicted is generally
known as miners consumption" and
there is little relief for one of its vic
Tins in the advanced stages of the
disease This was the condition OF Mr..
Hunden, who for some time had been
unable to lie in a bed at night, but
was obliged TO sit up in a chair in
order TO get his breath. Friday and
Saturday nights proved to be extreme
ly trying ones for the sufferer and it
is thought that, realizing that there
was little hope for him. he quietly de-
cided to end his sufferings by dispos
ing Of himself. His son David, who
had been in the room all the morning,
stepped TO the yard to feed the rab-
bits. He was gone about fifteen min
utes and when he returned he dis

lie became alarmed and pushing the
door open, found his father gasping
for breath in pool OF blood He was
lying on the EIoor with his feet against
the door. He expired few minutes
later wifhouf reeAining consciousness.
The pen-knife dropped from his hand
when the body, which was lying face
downward. was turned over. Coroner
Atkinson decided that an inquest was
not necessary.
William Hunden was a native of
Wales and has been a resident OF
America for about forty years. The
family has resided in Fremont county
for nearly twenty-six years. II is
known that he has been Respondent
over his condition for some time but
his rash act of yesterday was a COM
piete surprise and shock to his fam
lily.
