Show SKIPPED TO ZION. Jack Frashler Said to Hare Left Glenwood Springs in th Larch. The Glenwood Springs Esho publishes the following in its last issue of one of Zlon's recent acquisitions: "Jack Frashier, has shaken the dust of Glenwood from off his feet and left to mingle min-gle with the Mormons. Jack stood not upon the order of his going, he bid goodbye to but few, he was not escorted to the cars by a large crowd of friends but in the dusk of the evening, quietly, unostentatiously and with due caution he folded his bed, and like the Arabs of old, stole softly away into the dark night. Early in the evening he was talking on the corner near mo Driage wnn some mends until the Ogden express whistled as she emerged from the tunnel, when, remarking that he had to go up town, he turned and went up Grand avenue to the alley beside the Blowers house, down which he turned to the depot. Keeping at the back of this, he watched till the train was ready to pull out on its journey westward, when he quietly slipped aboard and was rid of Glenwood. Jack left behind him many who will ever bear him in their memory. It is said that there is hardly a business house ia town that was not victimized by him to a more or less extent. One firm sold goods and took from him meal tickets in pay, and it is now prepared to sell them at a big sacrifice. His help also suffered, he owing all from $25 upwards. up-wards. Frashier is a man well known in various cities, and has usually been considered a square fellow. He was for some time head cook at the old St. James hotel in Denver, and was also for a while in Helena, Mont., and at Sa't Lake City, whither he is now bound, and in whih city he is said to own considerable real estale. He is not a man who wasted his money in drink or riotous living, and it is presumed that the boodle which he managed to skin the inhabitants of this city out of, is snugly ensconced in his jeans. Mr. Jack Frashier' memory will be kept green at Glenwood Springs. a |
