Carnes, George T.
George T. Carnes - Walsenburg Independent - June 24, 1937 - Sheriff Says Carnes Murder Committed By Local Youth - State Prison Officials Asked To Bring Bloodhounds To City - Swift Says Crowd of Onlookers Ruined Chances of Catching Gunman; However Search Is Made For Gun - That Shot Spanish-Made Bullet; 12 Suspects Go Free - With 12 suspects questioned and released in Walsenburg and at least a half-dozen grilled in nearby cities, officers investigating the killing of George Carnes, victim of a filling station bandit, are seemingly stumped. Every suspect arrested so far has a perfect alibi and has been released. Sheriff Claud Swift states that the only possible clues were lost when crowds of onlookers jammed the driveway of the filling station at corner of First and Walsen following the killing. Sheriff Swift said that 30 minutes after the shooting he called the state penitentiary and asked that officers bring down bloodhounds to check the trail of the killer. However, when he told prison officials that the crowd had gathered on all sides of the building they informed him that there was “no use” to bring the dogs down. The sheriff says the bullet used to kill Carnes was made in Spain and was very old, the shell being tarnished black with age. Swift asserted that he was positive the job was pulled by a Walsenburg youth and several others are now under suspicion. Officers in all cities and towns in the Rocky Mountain region have been instructed to check hobo camps and question all suspects. World Independent – July 16, 1937 – Suspects in Carnes Murder Watched by Thousand Eyes – Each day one or more citizens of Walsenburg announce they have joined forces with the city's “amateur sleuths” and are working their own solution to the mysterious murder of George Carnes, which occurred here June 22. A reward of $1,000 for the conviction of the murderer and another reward of $100 for information leading to the culprit's arrest have prompted persons from every walk of life to build their theory on the case. Suspicious characters are being watched by a thousand eyes as each self-appointed detective dreams of being given the total reward of $1,100. Sheriff's and police officers are continuing on the case but admittedly are baffled. Carnes was shot through the heart while alone at his filling station about 8 o'clock in the evening. No money was taken from his place of business and the gunman was seen only by three young girls as he ran down an alley. Huerfano World - June 25, 1992 - This Week in Walsenburg History - 1937: George T. Carnes, filling station attendant at First and Walsen, was shot by a bandit and died of his injuries. A $500 reward has been issued.

Carrothers, Leo Bryan
Leo Bryan Carrothers - Lake City Times – 1900 – Little Bryan Cruthers Is Gone - Last Friday night occurred the death of Leo Bryan Cruthers, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Cruthers, aged 2 years, 6 months and 13 days. The little fellow had been sick several days and the last day or two he suffered terribly, so that death came as a relief. The sight of his suffering was no less pitiful than the little still white form after the spirit had flown. Physicians and friends did all in their power to give relief, but it was not for them to give. Only those who have had a great sorrow themselves can fully sympathize with the bereaved parents. To the mother is the blow doubly hard, for it is but a few short weeks since she attended the funeral of her youngest brother. The little body was taken by the parents to Pueblo Sunday and the funeral was held Tuesday. [Submitter's note: Bryan Carrothers, born 1897 died 1900. Agnes Carrothers, daughter of John and Ida May (O'Brien) Carrothers was born 16 November 1888 in Clear Creek County, Colorado; she died of diphtheria on 1 Jan 1890 in Clear Creek County, Colorado. She is buried in Alvarado Cemetery, Georgetown, Clear Creek County, Colorado. Agnes Carrothers is buried in the Georgetown, Alvarado Cemetery in Clear Creek County, Colorado.]
