THE DAILY SENTINEL.
E.S. Reams Passes
Away—Funeral
Sunday Afternoon
i -
Yesterday afternoon shortly nfter
j three o'clock at his home at 228
Gunnison avenue, surrounded by rel
atives and a few intimate friends,
Eri S. Reams passed from life unto
death.
The end was not unexpected but
still the coming of the Death Angel
was a great shock to the family. All
day yesterday Mr. Reams' life was at
a low ebb and several times during I
the forenoon it was thought that he
was dying. For more than a year
( Mr. Reams suffered from the ravages
or Bright's disease and a complica
tion of other ailments. He has been
confined to his bed during this long
period and there have been many
times when his life was dispaired of.
but owing to his powerful physique
* and rugged constitution he held his
1 own in his fight with death until yes
■ terday.
| The funeral will be conducted from
* the Presbyterian church Sunday after- ;
■ noon at 2: lit) o’clock. The services!
> at the church will be conducted by I
Rev. Weir. The Odd Fellows lodge
will then take charge of the remains:
and conduct the services at the grave. :
Undertaker A. L. Gourley will direct,
the funeral.
E. S. Reams was born in Bellfoun
tiane, Ohio. April 12,1844, being a
few months over sixty-one years of
age at the time of his death. In 1801
he enlisted in Co C, Ohio Volunteers,
and served in the union army until
the close of the war in 1805.
’ He was married to Miss Catherine
Spriggs in 1805. This union was
blessed with five children, three of
these and the widow survive the de-1
ceased. There are one son and two
daughters. Ora E. Reams, an em
ployee of the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad company; Mrs. M. M. Morris,
of this city and Mrs. L. C. Burberry,
of Salt Lake City. One son and one
daughter died several years ago.
Shortly after the war Mr. Reams
moved from Ohio to Illinois and after
a short, residence ti.ere he removed
to Chillicothe. Mo., where he was en
gaged in the butcher business for a
period of twelve years, ranking ns
a leading citizen of that city.
I In 1882 he moved from Missouri
to Silverton. Colorado and again en
i gaged in the meat ousiness. In the
year IMH he removed to the Grand
valley and opened a meat market In
Grand Junction, and the remaining
years of his life were spent In this
city. During the greater part of his
residence here he was engaged in
business, but a few years ago he
closed out and accepted a position
in the meat market of .1. W. Osborn j
& Sons.
Mr. Reams had been nn active
member of the Presbyterian church
for nearlv twenty-five years at the
time of his death. For thirty-three;
years he has been a faithful member,
of the Independent Order of Odd Fel
lows. He was also a member of the
local G. A. R.
Mr. Reams was a truq Christian
gentleman, a man perfectly devoted
to his family, an honorable and
worthy citizen. He was wldly known
not only in the city hut throughout
the valley, and enjoyed the confidence
of people and was held in the highest
regard by hundreds of warm friends.

GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER S. ifMKL
ANOTHER FIRE THIS MORNING.
This morning at 10:30 o’clock a'
Ore alarm was sounded and the de
, partment made a quick run to the
. big rooming house of Mrs. Abide
Ookey, at 320 Grand avenue. Fire
i had been discovered by some of the
.'inmates in the seeond story of the
residence, one of the rooms being
. j Ailed with smoke. The lire boys
found that the woodwork in a clos
’ ; et in one of the second storv rooms
| was blazing.
The rooms in the second story are
11 rented out for light housekeeping
bv Mrs. Gokey and this closet con
tained a coal oil can and other in-
I tlamable material, property of one
; of the tenants. The flames in the
eloset were soon extinguished but 1
! smoke issuing from the garret cans
ed it to be thought that lire was still 1
burning somewhere in the upper
j story of the building. However, after
; investigating it was found that these
! fears were groundless. It is not pos
itively known just what caused the
lire but a defective Hue situated near!
; the closet is probably responsible.
The house is one of the largest on
Grand avenue and is known as the
i “John Moore” house, being formerly
owned by John Moore, manager ot
j the Fruit Growers’ association. The
! damage to the house ami contents
; will be slight.
SEASONS COME AND GO.
Astronomers arrange the seasons
for us with a pleasant symetry that
leaves little, or nothing, to be de-l
sired, except conformity to the ached- 1
■ ule Oiey arrange. Once ever so often
the sun crosses the line and stands
, still for a day or so before starting
onits march to the southward or to
the north, and then a new season be-'
»in$ —on paper. For example, in
j this year of our Lord, nutumn be
gins according to these wiseacres, at I
12:20 p. m., Saturday, September 22.
But ns a matter of fact summer runs I
on well into October, so far as temp
, erate weather is concerned, this
month and the next being counted
the most pleasant of the year, not
withstanding the cool nights that
have already given a premonition of
the approach of the season called
autumn. As a matter of fact every
season in this altitude and latitude
lias a capricious way of announcing
, itself prematurely and then retlr-i
‘ ing as it were to take observation and
see if the announcement is receiv
ed in the proper spirit. In instance.
; the chill that now fulls upon us %fter
sunset is one of the ways the weather
uas of warning us of what is com-j
ing—a sort of a pleasant method
of informing Colorado that her l»est
and finest weather is at hand. And
so in the early spring we speak of
the backbone of winter being broken
when there is notlrttig of a reliable
character to indicate that lordly sum-
I mer is about to ascend his fiery
throne, to thaw out the frozen earth, i
! return to the trees their royal green
and to the schrtib its flowers. Still.'
as a matter of fact, though assured
of some weeks of delightful weather,
the summer is departing whenever;
tli evening chill is manifested through
the shortening of the days. Already
ithe careful observer will note here
; and there a yellow leaf fluttering
i down, occasionally si (making aspen
tree wimping itself in tin unneeded
mantle of gold, and n whirl of chilly
wind that seems to hear no relation
'to the days that are—all little an-j
i nouncentent cards that Dame Autumn j
! is handing out, bidding us to take cog
nizance that she Is about lo pay us,
a long visit. But It is not yet time
to respond: there is plenty of summer i
left. Just as spring anticipates her
arrival by a day or two of unreason
able warmth weeks before she lias j
I any serious intentions, so will stim
i mer linger along, flirting with de
mure autumn until it verges into
! Indian summer, and that delight
, ful period is unconsciously assimll
' a ted with winter. In Colorado, the
! climate, seasons and weather are
timely topics upon which to disser
tate and squelch the printer’s insat
iatlat cry for “copy.”—Telluride

Fire Destroys Haly
Restaurant At Early
Hour This Morning
This morning at 4 10 o’clock an
! alarm was sent in to the fire depart
’ ment from Gntt's restaurant on S
‘ Second street stating that the Haly
: restaurant In the brlfk building ju«»
j north of the Gatt restaurant was on
(fire.
The department made a quick run
with Chief Rogers driving. Two con
nections with the water main were
made, one near the Valley hotel and
the other at the corner of Second
land Pitkin.
The department found the whole
interior of the building in flumes.
The fire had evidently been burning
quite a while when discovered.
Nothing could be done toward saving
the fixtures, furniture or any portion
of the contents of the building. The
department confined its efforts to the
work of keeping the fire from spread
ing to the large rooming house nd
joiug the restaurant on the north.
The water was ulso constantly play
ed on the lire and within a short
time tl»e flames were extinguished
and the interior of the building was
a smoldering lunss of ruins. The
!n n ix walls remained intact and the
I roof was only partly destroyed.
The regular fire boys were ns
-1 sisted by six volunteer firemen who
I quickly responded to the call.
The fire was first discovered by
the night cook at Gatt’s restaurant.
He states that In looking out on the
street shortly after four o’clock he
saw a vertihle wall of flyues in
i front of the Hnlv restaurant! nml im
mediately went to the telephone and
' sent in the alarm.
The origin of the lire Is not known
and in Just what part of the building
, it first started cannot lie ascertain
ed. Judging by the general appear
ance of the Interior the fire must
have started in the front of the build
ing. Around the big rnnge which
Is located in the rear on the south
ddo of the building the woodwork
and plastering Is not l»> any means
us badly damaged as it is nearer
the front of the room. The lathes
around the pipe nt the point it (Mit
ers the celling are hardly scorched,
showing conclusively that the fire
lid not start from the range. In the
front of the building the ceiling lathes
are completely burned out. the
window frames are totally destroyed
and all along the walls the plnster
-1 ing Is completely burned away. There
is much indication that the fire was
j of tin incendiary origin.
During the past week the restau
rant has been closing about the mid
night hour for the remainder of the
night. Employes of the restaurant
state that no fire of any consequence
was left in the big range Inst night
| and that the fire under the large
, (offee urn or heater was turned off.
The Haly res tan ran. occupied the
; brick building formerly occupied by
"The Beqf Laundry.” About two
months ago J. H. Haly came to the
city from Salida and opened up the
restaurant. Ho installed nice fixtures
and was conducting n restaurant of
a most respectable class. Ho lias been
enjoying a fairly good patronage
since he opened apd had five or six
| employees.
Mr Haly has been very ill with
[rheumatism for several days and
I stated this morning that he had no
1 idea how the fire originated. He
| stated that he carried several hun
! dred dollars Insurance on the flxtur
| es but declared that would only part
ially cover Ills loss. The building Is
damaged to the extent of SSOO or
$(100. The restaurant fixtures were
valued at about S6OO.
Nearly everything in the building
was totally destroyed. The range Is
not badly damaged and can be used
again, and a few of the heavy cook
ing utensils are not ruined.
The fire drew quite a large crowd
is the whistles of the engines in the
railroad yards awakened the people.
The fire last night was the first
-lint has occurred in the city since tjie
latter part of July.
I The building is owned by John
O’Boyle. Insurance to the amount
of SBOO was carried upon It. In
surance to the amount of $50.0 was
tarried by Mr. Haly on the restau
rant fixtures.
Mr. Haly stated that some trouble
had been experienced with the elec
trical wiring and It is believed by
some that the fire was caused by
an exposed live electric wive, how
ever there Is little prospect or the
exact cause of the fire ever being
iscertained. Fire Chief Rogers after
making a thorough examination be
lieves the fire started from the oil
stove upon which the coffee urn sat.
