Death of Judge Bain
It is our painful duty to announce the death of Robt. A. Bain, which took place at Canon City, Colorado yesterday morning at 4 A.M. of hemorrhage of the lungs.
Mr. Bain has been a citizen of Canon City for the past eight years; and at one time was identified with Salida in the Chaffee County Bank with Mr. Robertson. He left Lincoln, Nebraska to come to Colorado in search of health, and so far recovered that his many friends persuaded him to accept the nomination of county judge of Fremont county. He was elected and served the full term to the entire satisfaction of the public and the bar, and was afterwards appointed by Gov. Pitkin to fill the vacancy in the same office caused by the resignation of Judge Terry which office Mr. Bain resigned last fall on account of failing health and went to California to recuperate. Not finding any relief he returned to his family to spend his last hours among them.
Mr. Bain's career was ended all too soon by that arch destroyer consumption. He leave a wife and two children to mourn his loss. While we sympathize with them in their affliction we can but feel that after life's fitful fever he sleeps well.
