Judge D. C. Beaman Reaches the End 



of a Long and Useful Professional 



Career, 



In the death of Judge D. C. Beaman, 

 77 years old, former vice-president of 

 the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, yes- 

 terday afternoon at 2:05 o'clock, at the 

 Metropole Hotel, Denver and Colorado 

 lost a distinguished citizen and a noted 

 lawyer. 



As a lover and promoter of clean sport, 

 Judge Beaman occupied a place in which 

 he had few rivals. He was the moving 

 spirit in the organization of the Amer- 

 ican Trotters' Association, the parent of 

 all Western track associations, serving 

 as vice-president and later as president 

 of that organization. 



MIND KEENLY LEGAL. 



As a lawyer. Judge Beaman was 

 known among his associates as a man 

 "with a natural legal mind," an ever- 

 ready wit, and a remarkably quick per- 

 ception of vital issues. He had an 

 abundance of humor, and often illus- 

 trated his points with apt stories, many 

 of which were drawn from his early 

 experiences and observations on an Iowa 

 farm. 



David Crichton Beaman was born at 

 Burlington, Lawrence County, Iowa, 

 November 22, 1838. His parents were 

 Gamaliel Carter Beaman, a Presby- 

 terian minister and ardent abolitionist, 

 and Emelia Crichton, born in Perth- 

 shire, Scotland, and a descendant of the 

 family of which the "Admirable" Crich- 

 ton was the most noted member. 



As a sergeant in an Iowa company of 

 the Union army, he took part in the 

 battle of Athens, Mo., on August 5, 1861. 

 His company engaged in the battle of 

 Athens before it was mustered into the 

 reglular army. Mr. Beaman later was 

 assigned to the Federal revenue service, 

 in which he remained until the close of 

 the war. He presented a Confederate 

 flag and cannon ball captured at the 

 battle of Athens to the Iowa Historical 

 Society. 



RETIRED SIX YEARS AGO. 



He was admitted to the bar in Van 

 Buren County, Iowa, in 1869, and 

 quickly rose to eminence. His ability 



was the cause of his being called to 

 Colorado in 1887 by John C. Osgood, and 

 he became connected with the operations 

 of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, 

 with which company, as vice-president, 

 director, secretary or general counsel, 

 Mr. Beaman was identified for more 

 than twenty-five years. In January, 

 1910, he retired from active service. 



Mr. Beaman married Luella A. Smith 

 at Athens, Mo., December 31, 1860. He 

 visited Gunnison, Colo., and other points 

 of the State from 1880 and 1887, when 

 he moved to Glenwood Springs, coming 

 to Denver in 1888. 



Besids his widow. Judge Beaman is 

 survived by four children, James L. Bea- 

 man, of Pueblo ; Mrs. W. T. Harper, of 

 Ottumwa, Iowa; A. D. Beaman, of 

 Denver, and G. C. Beaman, of Los An- 

 o-eles. The Rocky Mountain Netvs. 



More Sharks. 



Mr. Fred Sauter, "leading taxider- 

 mist," in a letter to The Game Breeder, 

 says': "I just read in the September 

 Game Breeder what is said about sharks. 

 I have just completed mounting one 

 tiger shark 10 feet long, one white shark 

 9 feet 6 inches long, one white shark 6 

 feet long, one sand shark 8 feet long, and 

 just now I am mounting one blue shark 

 9 feet 6 inches long. These sharks were 

 all caught along the New Jersey shore 



The blue shark I am mounting_ for 

 Mr James Dunn, whose son was bitten 

 by a shark in Mattawan Cre^^, N. J. 

 His leg was mans;led quite badly, but he 

 will come out of the hospital all right 

 except his le? will be stiff. He will 

 travel and exhibit the shark. Mr. Sau-. 

 ter's advertisement appears on another 



^'"^ Was it the "blue" shark that attacked 

 the son of Mr. James Dunn?

 recreation to their members and friends.
