CHARLES

Denver 1902

"The first two men from the country outside of Sterling and the region thereabouts to take up land in the Pawnee reservoir site were two from this city, and their names are Charles E. Hogoboom and James Snath. These two young men live at 1255 South Tremont, and Mr. Hogoboom has lived in the Sterling country for some time prior to his removal here. He said yesterday that he had constantly kept his eye on the land up in that country, thinking it to be the best in the state, and when he heard of the opening of the reservoir site, at once persuaded Mr. Snath to join him in a trip up there to take up the land. The latter was a little averse to going at first, but he says now that he would not take $l,OOO for his land just as it is. The gentlemen went to the reservoir site last Sunday, looked over the ground, picked their 160 acres apiece and filed on it Tuesday. They have their land In township 7, section 29. range 54, one mile east and eight south of the reservoir. It is of the finest land in the state, and Mr. Hogoboom says that it will be equal to the Greeley land when it is opened up thoroughly. It has everything to improve it, has the rich soil to begin with, and will give the finest and largest of crops in a short time.
Mr. Hogoboom lived in Logan county for fifteen years and says that there Is not a better piece of land in the county. The two Denver men were the seventh and the eighth to file and the others were all men from that county. Mr. Hogoboom has already built a frame building on his land, and Mr. Snath will erect a home there soon. Mr. Hogoboom said yesterday afternoon that he would also make some improvements and put up a more substantia1 building on his land next spring, when he will go there to stay. He intends, as does Mr. Snath, to go up during the winter to be sure that nothing goes wrong, although they do not have to go on the land for six months after filing. They will have to live on the land for ten years before proving up, and this will necessitate their paying ten yearly payments for the water rights there.
This will be $1 a year for every acre of land taken up. This will amount to some $1,600 for the ten years, but the land will be worth a small fortune in that time, and the production before that date will more than pay for the water rights payments.
There are twenty-nine townships in the tract just opened, and hundreds of people are going there to take up the land. Before the Denver men left there about 100 had already filed, and the liveries were receiving constant telegraphic advices to save rigs for men from abroad, who wished to drive onto the land, purposing to prove up. The land was only opened on Thursday of last week, and the men are flocking in there from the East and West in great numbers.
There are several Dunkards from the East who will come in, as a correspondent of theirs has informed them of the remarkable chance to get good homes in that section of the country. All of this site will undoubtedly be taken up in the next month, and the two Denver men are very fortunate to get in as soon as they did. They have had the pick of the land, and will make a good thing out of their future homes. Mr. Hogoboom said: 'It is a great investment. I do not see where a man could make a home for himself any easier or with so little exme(sic). If all of the land is taken up in the early spring and Mr. Snath will go with me. If all of the land is staken up in the site, as it will undoubtedly be, the land there will be worth at the very start $25 an acre at the lowest figure. Some of the land on the river bottoms has already been quoted at $4O and above, and our land is just as fertile as that land is. It is a country which is better than the Greeley land in that it has the good soil to start with, and the prospects are the very brightest. The people going in there can only prove up after the ten years' residence, so that the land will be well settled up by and during that time. The site is twelve miles west of Sterling, and is located in the very best of the Logan county lands.'
Mr. Hogoboom says that he intends to put on some stock and also to get some bees next spring, as he believes they will do well there."

May 21, 1896 Denver "Two young men on wheels crashed into the side of a moving car of the Harman line at Thirteenth and California streets yesterday afternoon a few minutes before 1 o'clock. Both cyclists were badly bruised and one of them, P. S. Crant, employed at the office of the Centennial Printing company, room 14, 910 Sixteenth street, is believed to be dangerously injured, his head being badly battered. The other victim of the accident is Homer Hogoboom, manager of the Centennial Printing company, living at 1132 Santa Fe avenue. As the car was well filled with people the accident was attended by much excitement, and it was thought at first, judging from the bloody appearance of the cyclists, that both were killed. The riders were Ixjund for the home of Hogoboom on the West Side, and leaving the office they started out at a lively gait. Turning down California street from Sixteenth they were going at a strong pace when they arrived at Fourteenth. From Fourteenth to Cherry creek there is an incline and down this Incline the wheelmen made their way with no intimation of the fate awaiting them. The Harman car coming into the city arrived at the middle of California and Thirteenth at the same time as Hogoboom and Crant. The wheelmen, on account of the impetus gained by the run down the incline, were unable to stop and ran directly into the side of the car. There was a crash of breaking wheels, followed by the cries of passengers who were rudely disturbed in their seats by the shock of the collision. The car was stopped and Motorneer Charles C. Heartz and Conductor Thomas D. Curry and the passengers on the car hastily ran to the assistance of the prostrate men. The force of the collision was such that the clothing of both cyclists was torn and tattered, and their wheels smashed up. The front wheel of Hogoboom's bicycle was missing, while bits of wheels and clothing were scattered about over a radius of twenty feet. The unfortunate wheelmen were assisted to the car and taken to the office of Superintendent Durbin of the Tramway company in the Mendota block. On account of the absence of the company's physician. Dr. L. T. Durbin, the officials in charge summoned Dr. J. W. Huffaker, whose office is in the Evans block. The wounds of the wheelmen were dressed. Crant had an ugly cut over his left eye and suffered from concussion. It was reported last night that he -was in a serious condition. Hogoboom left for his home and Crant was removed to room 42 Mack block. Hogoboom's right knee was minus some inches of skin and there were a number of bruises on his head and body."

October 1901 Pueblo, Colorado "Slowly but surely the officers are rounding up the men supposed to have been the accomplices of the C. F. & I. forgers arrested in this city a short time ago.

Hogoboom is locked up in the county jail awaiting an examination.
