DENVER, April 30.—"Jim" Jordan,
master gunman, is dead, according to
word received here by former cronies
and the police who knew him when
he was considered the “fastest man
on the draw and trigger in the West.”
“Jim” died in a charity ward of a
Boston hospital, following an opera
tion, ending a life of 85 years, 65 or
more of which was spent as a wan
derer in many devious paths.
“Jim” Jordan’s record was known
to every police chief in the land, and
his exploits were known on: two
oceans as well.
Denver was home to Jordan; but
even here nothing was known of that
far-off past when he was a boy. None
knew from whence he came orj who
were his parents. He never married
and no relatives are known toj sur
vive him.
Jordan is most remembered inf Den
ver from his famous battle {with
“Soapy” Smith and Smith's gaijg in
the old Murphy exchange on layimer
street. It was October 2, 18ffl| that
“Soarv” and his gang planned to “get”
Jordan. They failed.
With “Soapy” in the room where
the battle took place were te, late
Mart Watrous. Murphy, Tom Ready
and Clifford “Griff” Sparks,
gambler ana farp amast,
dan entered.
Somewhere outside he had been
“tipped” to the coming play. When
he entered Smith, after a few words,
flicked the top of the bar with his
“shooting irons” and said:
“Them’s my arguments!”
And a - poor argument for you,
Soapy," smiled Jim.
Quick as a flash Jim had "drawn.”
As he did so three guns barked forth,
his own, Soapy’s and that of Tom
Ready. Jim was not hit. He had a
peculiar style or firing from the knee,
stooping over quickly to disconcert
an antagonist’s aim and shooting
while bending low.
As the three guns spoke Clifford
Sparks in some mysterious manner
got between the duellists. He dropped
dead. All three gunmen were ar
rested and charged with murder, but
all were acquitted, as it could not be
proved that any of them w-anted to
kill Sparks. Some witnesses say an
enemy of Sparks pushed him into
range.
After this Jim quit Denver. While
he was here and in his travels to
other points of the West he ia said
to have made more bad men quit cold
than any other man in the history
of the West. He also caused some to
be mourned because of his deadly
aim.
From Denver Jim went to the At
lantic seaboard, where he is said to
have headed a band of card sharps on
transatlantic liners. He made more
fortunes with his w-its to add to the
ones he had made and squandered in
the West.
Before coming West Jordan had
served three years in an Illinois prison
for manslaughter for killing a hack
driver who “didn't drive to suit him,”
according to friends. In 1900 he was
sought for a diamond robbery in
Stockton, Cal. In 1905 he was ar
rested in Dayton, Ohio, on various
charges, but was released.
Of his enemies, “Soapy" Smith was
killed in Skagway, Alaska, by the
civil engineer, Henderson, a vigi
lante; Tom Ready was sent to the
Colorado penitentiary for robbery, and
is now out, undermined in health.
Jim was six feet and one inch tall.
At 80 he was still “spry,” and only a
year ago he was arrested in Chicago
for working the wire-tapping racing
bunko. He was acquitted for lack of
evidence.
WASHINGTON. April 30.—-In
creases in wages paid in Germany
have utterly failed to keep pace with
the increased cost of living, says the
April bulletin of the department of
labor.
The average increase in wages has
been 50 per cent, while the living cost
has gone up 300 per cent. The great
ers, who are now getting 69 per cent
more^than they formerly received. In
creases as low as 16 per cent have
been reported, and some women are
still being paid less than $2.50 per
week.
The purchasing power of money has
dropped to one-fourth its value be
fore the war, according to the bull
tin. German workingmen, it says, are
being underfed. One egg per week is
their allowance. Oleomargarine is
limited to an ounce and a half for ?
family of four.
Sugar is more plentiful, the family
allowance being one and one-half
pounds. G°ffce is practically unob
tainable. Potatoes are the heaviest
item in the ordinary diet.

government should install a smoke

capital with a smoke screen before

figures to prove that the cost “would
be nominal.”
