Show II THE CITIZEN BOCK DIES FROM WOUND RECEIVED DUCK HUNTING - The untimely death of former Mayor A. E. Bock by accidental ,Jshooting while duck hunting near Stockton, came as a great shock to his many friends of this city. Bock was, a young man and on the road to success and hie had the good will of the community behind him. He came to Salt Lake City as a baseball player and played ball with the Salt Lake team. Being a teacher of mathematics and penmanship he secured a position in one of the business colleges as a teacher. But Bock was not satisfied with this sort of life and entered politics and we all know his sensational rise. He came out for auditor and was easily elected. He then came out for mayor and was again elected. He retired from the political game and entered the cafe business in which he was making a fortune at the time death called him from his worldly duties. During the world war, Bock went to Washington and was employed in the treasury department and later went to Europe touring France and Germany. Mr. Bock is survived by his wife, Laura M. Denton and two children, Gustave and Denton.
