three years fight with gasitis, he sue
cumbed to the terrible disease last
Wednesday afternoon. His remains lie
in Peabody's bugorium. Funeral will
be held Saturday night at p. m. I'M
mediately after the ground is burdened
with his useless CARCASS there will be =
dance. His will, providing $1,000 for
the building of marble sidewalk ont
to the school house, has been contested
by the Pueblo insane asylum, inc. It
was his last request that his fountain
pen, poisoned at the tip, should be low
cred into the soil along with him, and
that he be buried in an orange and
black coffin. It was also his last wish,
in case a casket of the right dimen-
sion, size and color could not be found,
that he be fumigated-beg pardon, we
mean cremated-and his ashes sprinkled
along the high school boulevard to
keep little children from getting their
feet wet in winter. At his grave the
basketball quintette will sing. "If l
Get There Before You Do, I'll Certain
| ly Have it Hot"

Gene Blowers, the popular janitor at
the high school, has "yuked up his
yob" and gone back to the cows and
chickens. His position at the building
will be filled by C. E. Hubbard, former
deputy county clerk and recorder.
Prof. Bert Cross, at one time prin-
cipal of g. C. H. g., was out visiting
the high school last week.
Basketball
The poorest crowd of the season
greeted the teams Saturday evening.
saturday evening explaining the poor
crowd), when the team from the Hoel-
Ross Business college at Grand juno
tion went down in defeat before the
rapid Glenwood high school team,
score 1894. The game was slow, dead,
and absolutely lifeless up until the last
few minutes of the play. Pass work
CT both teams was the poorest of the
season, while inaccurate basket shoot.
ing lost many points for the business
college.
The game started with rush--the
Gleuxood team rushing the ball for II
points before the business college got
started. The shorthand specialists thea
got couple of baskets. the Glenwood
team got few more, people went to
sleep all ovr the gym, and the first
half was ever. Rip Van Winkle had
nothing on anybody, players or spec
tators, during the first part Of the
last half, but during this period Of
play the Hoel-Ross Typewriter artists
did manage to get into action and cor
rallied quite number Of points. Fair
fiel, the classiest center in Grand
Junction, got his range and made IL
points at this time. We might men
tion here that Fairfield is one of the
most gracious and gentlemanly players
who ever appeared on our floor. He
plays clean basketball and is an excel
lent basket shooter.
Malaby started for Glenwood with 81
points. Oldenburg sprained his wrist
during the first half, and had to be
taken out and q substitute put in.
Eoritta made 10 points, while Hopkins
and Wilson played their usual steady
game.
When the Grand Junction high school
team was up here we defeated then,
badly, the score being 369. This time
we won from the Hoel-Ros men 1894,
win of "a points. Taking nine from
forty-six, we find our victory that
time was by 81 points. By compari-
son of scores, it looks like the business
college men are the Grand Junction
champions. Hurrah for themi If the
two teams clash down there at any
time in the near future, here's one
who II bet his summer kelly on the
Hoel Ross Business college basketball
stars.
The final and most crucial game of
the season comes Friday night in Lead
vile, when the Leadville and Glenwood
teams cross bats on the rink floor.
Buffalo and his wild west Indians
were outclassed entirely Saturday
night by the high school girls. They
certainly pulled off swell little mas.

Playing rings around the alumni team,
the high school girls hesved the old
