showed themselves as real contenders
for the honcrs in the high school
Track Meet teams by defeating the
Montrose team Saturday, on the
Normal campus, by a score of 671z
points to 651a points.
Saturday was not .exactly an ideal
day, but a slight wind blowing
seemed to be about the only draw
back and the large crowd that gath
cred on the grounds, showed very
plainly the interest taken by every
one; the merchants boosted by closing
their stores from one till four

Montrose wished to wipe out the foot

equally determined to duplicate that
victory. The Montrose team is sure
fine bunch of boys and showed by
their effort that their training had
not been neglected in the least. AL
though no state records were broken
by either team, it looks as though be-
there is going to be some records in
danger. Vance and Moore OF Mont
rose, were the stars of their team,
while Capt. Nelson, Red Hughes,
and R. Wright seem to be the ones
that carried the confidence Of the
Gunnison team, and they brought
home the bacon. ?
The feature of the day was the
half-mile relay race, which brought
everyone to their feet yelling like
mad, so close was the finish; In fact
each re'ay was hotly contested, but
Gunnison led at each pole, and "Red"

Up to the hour of his death, which

He became suddenly demented the

showed signs Of improvement the fol-

again Wednesday night, or rather
early Thursday morning and died that
night while asleep.
He was one of the oldest citizens
Of Gunnison having come here ir 1882,
and has run a barber shoi, here every
since. He was universally esteemed
and his absence Is very noticeable in
West Gunnison.
He was very proud Of medal tes-

Of President Lincoln's body guard,
and always wore it consptcuously.
His funeral was largely attended,
testifying to the great popularity OF
this kindly old man.
He would have been S8 years old

SILVER DEMAND FROM
 FAR EAST CONTINUES

The silver market towards the end of the week showed greater underly- ing strength than even during the sharp advance last week. Against the 61 Is pence-London-bid, New York bids were at 9S 1-2 to 9S 3-4 with only a small amount offered at 99 cents. Trading for Far East ac- count Shanghai bids were equivalent to 99 1-2 cents. Bullion dealers in New York appeared extremely enthu- siastic. With bids on foreign origin silver so close to the Mint bid price on domestic silver it is quite likely that the present fluctuations denote the immediate future elinlination of distinctions between domestic and for eign origin metal.
 An advance in silver from 97 to $1.O2 IA, New York, and $1.03 San Francisco, and the subsequent reac- tion to '96 1-2 cents, foreign, August 23, is attributed to an over-optirnistic attitude on the part of those <ho were in a position to sell and also to the pronounced weakness in foreign eX- change which influenced Shanghai rates to considerable extent. Most of the silver sellers at New York with silver at $1.01 1-2 bid refused to en-

certain suggestions of a slightly fur ther increase apparently anticipating an immediate movement to $1.20 The increased rIce, however, was due to the strong demand by dealers at Shanghai operating largely on spec ,ulative account and with the under standing that demand is bound to in crease from now on.
 Towards the end of the wee'E silver prices again strengthened with sales August 26-around 90 cents on foreign and. of course. with domestic at S1.00 net. In short account creat- cd in the London market with last weeks advance failed to bring any supplies into the center from Contin- ental Europe and this is consideded highly important. The European bank statement. as of August 19, shows 9 gain of nearly $50 100000 silver, for the week. The German na- tionaI bank is apparently trying to re- place its large silver reserve" of last April; this item is now $1,534 ,250 against about$S50,00 two months ago and more than S15,0O0.OO0, last May. The Bank of France, responsible for large silver movements to London in May, also reported gain of $4,700.- 900.
 More than 100000 ozs. of silver was offered in the New York market Aug. 20 and 21, but for sale prices above $1.02; when the London bids came in at 97 1-2 cents Aug. 23, these
