LUTE P. BOWEN

LUTE P. BOWEN, editor, was born at Mount Ayr, Ringgold, Iowa, December 16, 1857. He went to Frankfort, Marshall County, Kansas in 1881, and purchased of S. B. TODD, the Headlight, a National Greenback paper. The paper has formerly changed hands, it being originally started as the Frankfort Record, in August 1876, by W. P. CAMPBELL, and purchased of him by I. B. SMITH and son, and the said TODD in 188_ purchased the Record and changed its name as above stated. In November, 1881, the present proprietor purchased the paper and changed its name to the Frankfort Bee.

Mr. BOWEN is a son of Thomas M. BOWEN, who figures prominently in Colorado politics, and is an enterprising young man. Since purchasing the paper, he has placed in his office a Campbell power-press, costing him $1,200, and a Gordon press that cost $275; his entire office being estimated at $3,500.
