Caldwell, Toll
Toll Caldwell - World Independent – January 13, 1881 - Died With His Boots On – Toll Caldwell Passes in His Checks – The Traditional Old Style Revived is His Case – From the Silver Cliff Republican we are able to obtain the particulars of the killing of Toll Caldwell, a character widely known in this county: Toll Caldwell has played his last game. The percentage was against him, and while he knew he could but lose, like a thorough sport, he played to the end of the deal. At the Huerfano he became intimate with a Mexican woman, and had some difficulty with her husband. Accompanied by the woman he came to Silver Cliff, where they lived together some time. Meanwhile the husband of the woman had disappeared. Search being instituted his body was found in an abandoned shaft near Mosca Pass. Caldwell remained here until last summer, when he and the woman removed to New Mexico, where he had not very long lived until he had some difficulty with a mail carrier whom he shot and killed. A few days later he had some trouble while in a fandango, and when surrounded by the woman's relations, who both feared and hated him. The difficulty finally resulted in the killing of a musician by Caldwell, when he in turn fell mortally wounded. There is no doubt in the minds of those familiar with the circumstances attending his death but that he was the victim of a conspiracy and that his Mexican enemies had long been awaiting an opportunity to avenge the death of the woman's husband, for whose murder they always blamed Caldwell. Thus one more of those who were well known and identified with our earlier history has passed away in the old traditional style, and in recording his death we can but say, "he died with his boots on." Gambler and desperado though he was, still many can tell of his deeds of kindness and charity, but the cords of a hardened heart had never been touched by the hand that could cause them to thrill responsive to nobler motives, and he died as he had lived, "only a gambler." Above article was reprinted from the Silver Cliff Republican in the Milwaukee Daily Sentinel, Monday, January 31, 1881, Page 5, Issue 25, Column D.

Calland, Garfield E.
Garfield E. Calland - Walsenburg World - May 19, 1921 - Gar Calland, a homesteader near Rattlesnake Buttes was shot and killed by a neighbor named Sam Hand about 7:30 Sunday evening. The cause of the killing was a quarrel of about two years standing over a line fence. The fence originally stood on the boundary line of Hand's property. This fence Hand moved fifteen feet over onto his own property. Calland brought his fence to poin Hand's and Hand tore it down. This procedure was repeated several times and some last week Mrs. Calland shot at Mrs. Hand when she was tearing down the fence. Hand came to town and swore to a complaint against Mrs. Calland for assault with intent to kill. Sunday night Calland was approaching the point in dispute when Hand shot him with a Winchester, killing him instantly. At the coroner's inquest held Tuesday afternoon, the testimony of the coroner as to how he found the body of Mr. Calland, and the testimony of Mrs. Calland and Mrs. Calland's mother was presented to the jury. After a short deliberation the jury returned the following verdict; "That Garfield E. Calland came to the death in the Rattlesnake Buttes district, Huerfano County, Colorado, by a bullet fired from a gun in the hand of Samuel Hand and we further find that the shot was fired with felonious intent.

She got her first custom-sized saddle as a Christmas gift from her father at the age of 4 and stayed astride until well into her 80s. After a long teaching career that began in a local mining camp and ended in a Californian coastal town, she returned to make La Veta her home, where she stayed active in pursuits that gained her friends of every age. She coupled a love of new learning and adventure with a rancher's sense of self-sufficiency and thrift, living on her own up to the very end with the help of her loving friends, Marge and Bill Riggins. She leaves many cousins, nieces and nephews and many loving friends from around the world. On her mantel were over 50 birthday cards, a testament to how she drew people into her circle who admired a life well-lived. The day before she died, she declared, "I am happy. Just so happy. I love my home. I love looking at the mountains and the birds, and I feel so lucky in the people who care for me and in my friends." We all wish her godspeed as she moves out into the Great Mystery, carried by her faith in a loving God.

Cardenas, Mr.
Mr. Cardenas – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 18, 1875 – The Tolby Murder – Examination of the Accused and Shooting of Cardenas – The examination of the parties charged with being principals or accessories to the murder of Rev. F. J. Tolby, was held at Cimarron on Wednesday before a magistrate. Several parties from Elizabethtown testified as to the statement made by Cardenas implicating Longwill, Mills and Donahoe, showing that no force was used and that he made the same statement to different parties at different times. The investigation was very full. The court held that there was not sufficient evidence against M. W. Mills and he was discharged. Donahoe and Cardenas were bound over to await the action of the grand jury. A large number of people from all over the country were in attendance, and the utmost order and quiet prevailed. A meeting was held and resolutions adopted expressive of their determination to put down crime, and also to maintain peace and good order at all times in the country. While Cardenas was being conveyed to the jail, in charge of two guards, a party of unknown men seized him and overpowered the guards, shot Cardenas through the head, killing him instantly. Longwill was not arrested, having evaded the officers and made good his escape. He is supposed to be in Santa Fe. The Longwill alluded to above appears to be Dr. R. H. Longwill, of Cimarron, who is well known in this city. If, as stated, he has evaded the officers and left the town, the thing has an ugly look for him, but what interest he could have had in the murder of an itinerant preacher is beyond our comprehension. It may be when the excitement cools down a little that he will return and explain matters.

Cardinal, Agnes
Agnes Cardinal - Pueblo Chieftain - July 20, 2003 - Agnes Cardinal, at the wonderful age of 93, died in Pueblo, July 17, 2003, where she was born and raised. She grew up on Currie Street with her parents, Giuseppe and Maria Costanza; and brothers and sisters, Frank, John, Charles, Jean and Josephine, who have already passed, and Rose Snead and Sr. Mary Theophane who are still with us. She passed over to meet her husband, Sam R. Cardinal, who died in 1977. Agnes was a joyful and positive person who was always counting her blessings. The first among these were her three fine sons that she and Sam raised, and their families, Dave Cardinal and his wife Marianne of Pueblo, Bob Cardinale and his wife PJ of Santa Fe, N.M., and George (Sam) Cardinale and his wife Julie of Petaluma, Calif. Unconditional love of her sons and their nine remarkable children, and equally remarkable nine great-grandchildren, is just one of the reasons why Agnes will be remembered. Remarkable was a word she used a lot in taking total joy in her family. Very memorable as well were her wonderful flat Italian waffle-like cookies called pizzelles. Friends and family alike could count on a box of pizzelles for the trip home after a visit to her house. She thrived on breaded pork chops, stuffed artichokes and always had a stash of jelly beans in a drawer by the front door for herself and anyone else. The jelly beans gave her the energy to work in her yard every day and to edge her lawn with a pair of scissors. Her generosity was legendary and her husband's shop, Sam's Floor Covering, provided many kitchen floors and carpets for the residences of nuns and priests of Pueblo and especially Holy Cross Abbey in Canon City, Colo., for which she had a special attachment. One had to be very careful in admiring anything in her house because she would immediately try to give it to you. This was her way of living her philosophy of giving people her flowers when they could see and smell them. Many people have been, and continue to be, the recipients of her flowers. In addition, she will always be remembered for her simple, straightforward and loving way of saying things. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, you consider making a contribution to the Pueblo Community College Foundation, 900 W. Orman Ave, Pueblo, CO 81004, in her name. A Memorial service will be held at the T.G. McCarthy Funeral Home, 329 Goodnight Ave. at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 20, 2003, followed by a joyful wake at the Shrine of St. Therese for friends and family. There will be a funeral service at the Shrine of St. Therese at 10 a.m. Monday, July 21, 2003. Interment, Roselawn Cemetery.

Cardinal, Annette M.
Annette M. (Niccoli) Cardinal - Pueblo Chieftain - July 25, 2004 - Annette M. (Niccoli) Cardinal, a very young 94, passed away quietly on July 22, 2004, following a brief illness. Preceding her were her beloved husband, Robert (1988); parents, Mary and Michael Niccoli; sisters, Josephine M. Kendall, Inez and Josephine Niccoli; and brothers, Joseph, John, Charles "Sid", Victor "Vic" and Albert "Barney" Niccoli. Left behind to cherish Ann's memory are her loving daughter, Cindy (Tom) Haulik; granddaughters, Amy and Sara, all of Alpharetta, Ga.; brother, Frank (Wanda) Niccoli of California; sisters-in-law, Blanche, Clara and Geri Niccoli; adored nieces and nephews of Pueblo, Anita L. "Skip" Kendall (with whom she lived with nearly the past six years); Ronald and Connie, Jim "Bud" and Kay, and Paul W. Kendall; many more nieces, nephews, great-and great-great-nieces and-nephews, whom she loved dearly. Ann was born in Crested Butte, Colo., on Nov. 28, 1909. She knew many hardships, but managed to live a full, happy and extremely productive life. She spent the better part of her adult life in Fountain Valley, Calif., until moving to Pueblo in October of 1998 to live with her sister Josephine. To say that Ann was generous, thoughtful, selfless, kind and beyond creative would be a gross understatement. There are no words to describe her and how many many lives she has touched. She was an angel before her passing. Ann's hands and mind were never idle. She was planting flowers, redecorating something, and constantly sewing, crocheting or quilting something to her last days, and always for someone else. Up until the time she moved from Fountain Valley, Ann was involved with the Girl Scouts, the Friends of the Library, the Fountain Valley Historical Society, the Women's Quilting Club, and the Fountain Valley Women's Club, and surviving family member of the SS Russell naval ship each of which she held several official titles. These clubs and activities were her life and to leave them behind was a very traumatic experience for her; for these loving people she left behind were all like family to her. And to her last day, she spoke of them fondly. Ann leaves a legacy behind, which most of us only dream of and not just memories but material things. She has left us with hand-sewn quilts, which have won prizes at state fairs, hand-painted china plates, nick-knacks, and statuettes, embroidered and crocheted items we all hold so dear.

Bill D. Caricato - Pueblo Chieftain - May 09, 2004 - Bill D. Caricato departed this life on May 6, 2004, for the kingdom his Savior has prepared for him. He was 65 years old. Born in Pueblo on May 27, 1938, he was not only raised in Pueblo, but also spent the majority of his married life there. In his youth, he attended St. Patrick's Catholic School, Central High School, and then completed his education at University of Southern Colorado, after returning from the service. For the last 18 years, Bill and his wife, Jody, have resided in Penrose, Colo. He is survived by his wife of 42 years; his sons, Greg (Jessica) of Springfield, Colo., Glenn (Teresa) Caricato of Manhattan, Kan.; and daughter, Kathy (John) Lane, Pueblo, Colo. Bill is the grandfather of eight grandchildren, Aaron, Vincent and Sean Caricato, Shelby Thompson, Kyla and Emily Caricato, and Nicole and John Lane.

Bill loved football, baseball and bowling; and proved himself as outstanding in all three. As a spectator, he enjoyed most sports and was an avid NASCAR fan. While a Pueblo resident, Bill and his wife were members of Holy Family Parish. Upon their move to Penrose, they joined St. Benedict's Church in Florence, Colo. Bill's warm smile and unique sense of humor touched the lives and hearts of family, friends and day-to-day acquaintances. Bill also seemed to sense the nobleness of God's creatures - both wild and domesticated - and they became his avocation. Whether bird, cat, horse or dog, each lingered near him while he talked to them, won their confidence, and then took care of them. In July of 2000, Bill was diagnosed with cancer. Throughout his long battle against this relentless disease, friends, loved ones, and all who came into his life witnessed Bill's strength as a strong fighter, the power of his persistence and endurance, and the meaning of courage. Most importantly, Bill found both strength in the power of prayer and peace through the promise of his Savior's redeeming grace. Bill will be missed by many, but never forgotten.

Carlino, Charles
Charles Carlino – Eagle County News – September 29, 1923 – Pueblo – Direct informations have been filed in the District Court against Vitto Danno, John Danno and Carlo Valento, charging the three with the murder of Dominic Ingo of Chicago and Charles Carlino of Vineland, near the Baxter bridge, on Sept. 10. Colorado Springs Gazette – May 15, 1926 – Two Men Killed in Outbreak of Pueblo's Ancient Blackhand War – Danna Brothers Shot Down from Closed Automobile as They Stood on Street; Posses Closing in on Quartet of Slayers Trapped in Coal Camp Near Walsenburg – Pueblo, Saturday, May 15 (AP) – Two men are dead and a third wounded in the most recent outbreak of Pueblo's Blackhand war. Two brothers, the third of one family, were fatally wounded yesterday afternoon by assassins and an innocent bystander was wounded by a stray shot. Pete and Tony Danna died last night. They were shot down at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when they were standing in front of a pool hall in the heart of the business district. Sam English, owner of the pool hall, was shot in the leg. Capture of the murderers is regarded as certain by officers at an early hour this morning for the occupants of the murder car are said to be trapped in a coal camp near Walsenburg and posses from three cities are closing the net drawn around the murderers' rendevous. Late developments last night indicated without a doubt, police and the sheriff said, that the killing was a result of the blackhand war of many years' standing. The murder car, a Hudson coach with curtains drawn, passed slowly in front of the pool hall where the Danna brothers were standing, and shot from sawed-off shotguns cut the brothers down before they had time to draw their own weapons. Doctors in attendance stated that both of the men had received from 30 to 40 shot, the bodies being literally torn to pieces from the heavy charge. Their brother, John, was killed in July, 1925, in an alleged blackhand killing but no arrest had ever been made in that case. The two killed yesterday were said to be leaders of the same faction as Frank Bacino, murdered in Denver a short time ago. Pete Danna was out on $10,000 bond in connection with the notorious black hand battle near Baxter, Colo., in September, 1922, in which John Ingo, Dominio Ingo and Charles Carlino were killed. Carlino was a brother of Sam Carlino, one of the four men Pete Danna alleged to have been in the automobile from which the shooting was done Wednesday.

He was father to Roxanne Borrego of Albuquerque, N.M. and Frank Borrego of Pueblo; beloved Pop-Pop to Kayla Borrego of Pueblo; wonderful caregiver and guardian to Wiley; and special friend to grand-puppies, Rio and Asti.

John worked for 12 years at St. Mary Corwin Hospital as a maintenance mechanic. He enjoyed working on and riding motorcycles, donating money to the Colorado Lotto and greyhound races and other gambling interests and was especially content to spend hours playing with his "darling" Kayla and his "special needs" canine friend, Wiley.

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.

Carpenter, Thomas
Thomas Carpenter – Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph – December 30, 1973 – Third Lawman Slain – Three lawmen were killed in Colorado last week, two killing suspects are dead, and law officials are looking for two suspects in the first incident. The dead law officials are: 1. Colorado State Patrolman Thomas Carpenter, 31, murdered in his patrol car Thursday morning in Denver. Carpenter, father of three children, had served on the patrol since 1968. He was the fifth patrolman to be slain in the line of duty. 2. Otero County Deputy Sheriff Larry Smith, 23, was gunned down Friday by a 12-gauge shotgun blast as he went to a home in La Junta to answer a disturbance call. He was a 1963 graduate of La Junta High School, and unmarried. He was the son of La Junta fire chief, Wayne Smith. 3. Pueblo Police Officer Thomas M. Hanson, 36, was killed when he stopped at a store to buy a carton of milk and came upon a holdup in progress. Investigators said that Patrolman Carpenter was shot with his own service revolver. He was shot four times in the back of the head. Denver police found his body seated upright in his patrol car, which was parked in the rear of an apartment complex in the Monbello area of northeast Denver. Denver police questioned Robert L. Chance, 18, of Aurora Friday regarding the slaying but later released him after he took a lie detector test. Chance had been arrested on a fugitive warrant for a traffic violation. Police chief Art Dill said the youth was questioned in Carpenter's death because his appearance resembled the rough description of one of two suspects in the case. District Attorney Dale Tooley said homicide detectives were pressing their investigation of the homicide, but had "no suspect against whom they expected to file charges." Officials believe Carpenter was kidnapped by his assailants prior to his death. Although there were no witnesses to the shooting, motorists reported seeing a cruiser in the vicinity with two young men accompanying the officer in the car. Keith said Carpenter is thought to have been stopped on the Denver-Boulder Turnpike at Broadway about 9 a.m. Carpenter, who had been with the patrol five years and was stationed in the Broomfield district, normally patrolled Interstate 25 north of Denver. State Patrol officers will act as pallbearers for the 1 p.m. Monday funeral at the Bethel Temple, with the Denver Police Department providing the color guard. Representatives of numerous other Colorado law enforcement agencies also are expected to be in attendance. Deputy Smith died in the backyard of the Otero home in an exchange of gunfire with James Nunnaley, 21, who La Junta police officials said had earlier in the day threatened to "kill a couple of cops." The deputy was able to return the fire before he died and hit Nunnaley, said police. Nunnaley never regained consciousness after the shooting and died in a Pueblo hospital. Funeral services for Smith are scheduled Monday in La Junta. Hanson, the Pueblo policeman unexpectedly walked into the middle of a holdup and was shot to death. The gunman also was killed when the patrolman's partner fired three shots through a plate glass window. Police Chief Bud Willoughby said Bernard Meehan, 19, of Pueblo, died 3 ½ hours after the incident at Parkview Hospital. Meehan, who never regained consciousness, was hit three times in the back. Willoughby said Hanson and his partner, Patrolman James Askay, 29, had driven up to a 7-11 store at 2 a.m. so that Hanson could buy a carton of milk. Askay remained outside in the car. Hanson walked in, found no one around and apparently was about to walk outside again when a gunman emerged from behind a counter and ordered him to lie on the floor. Authorities said Hanson may have made a move for his service revolver as the gunman approached him. The bandit then fired once, morally wounding the officer. Askay fired three times through a glass window at the gunman with each shot hitting its mark. Police said a second man apparently involved in the holdup drove away when he saw the officers. He drove to a nearby Catholic Church where he asked a priest for help, but fled on foot when the priest called police. The killings brought these comments Saturday from law officials in Colorado Springs: Dist. Atty. Bob Russel said, " State patrolmen are very susceptible as they usually stop people for traffic violations and are unaware of potential problems they may be confronting. Most police throughout the nation are in great danger when they are handling disturbance calls dealing with domestic relations which is what happened in La Junta." This of course also applies to the sheriff's office. Russel said that "in Colorado we have been lucky judging from national figures of officers who have been murdered." He added that he did not believe there was going to be a rash of police killings. Police Lt. Loren Downing said that the three shootings of law enforcement officers in the 48-hour period in the state was enough to make each officer take a second look at his actions for safety reasons. A bus load of Colorado Springs policemen is expected to attend the funerals of the officers in La Junta and Pueblo. At least a car load of off duty officers is expected to attend the funeral of the state patrol officer in Longmont, Downing said. Sergeant H. J. Schafer, El Paso County Sheriff Patrol Commander, said that his deputies have been briefed and alerted to begin taking extreme caution at all calls with major emphasis placed on caution taking when answering family disturbances. He said that the most crucial times of police killings are in the first seven seconds after an officer arrives at the scene, and in a 7 to 22 foot range.

Although she faced adversities, she always kept a positive attitude and when asked how she was, she would reply, I can't complain. She loved to tease and joke, and loved her family. While she lived in Colorado most of her life, she never lost her southern accent or charm. She valued family and friends above all else, and was inspiring to all of us who will miss her. She will be remembered for her positive spirit and loving nature. She loved the simple things and saw beauty all around her. Her philosophy seemed to be "Accept what people offer — drink their milkshakes, feel their love." Our family would like to especially thank the exceptional people involved in caring for Neva: The ultimate friend and angel, Alana McAlpine, and her daughters Christina and Michelle, who lovingly cared for Neva for the past four years; the doctors and nurses at the Wound Care Center and Parkview Hospital; Dr. Kevin Johnson, Dr. Sunku, Dr. Settipani, Dr. Middleton, Dr. Steinle, Marie Fabjancic, Patricia King and Ed Schultz. Preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Louise Hagar; husband, Herman Carrico; brother, Walton Hagar; sister, Beatrice Bagwell; and daughter, Linda Carrico. She is lovingly remembered by her many friends and family, including her sisters, Floy Snodgrass (Bill) and Johnie Faye Fitzsimmons (Daryl); and daughters, Judy Young (Bill), Sharon Balter (Gordon) and Bennie Swanson (Jim). Neva had eight grandchildren, Craig, Kevin and Brian Young, Jennifer Ruff, Jamie Johnson, Brad and Wendy Swanson, and Louise Gonzalez. She also had seven great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be Monday, May 20, at 1 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church to be immediately followed by burial at Mountain View Cemetery. The family will greet friends at the church immediately following the graveside committal.

Carroll, James
James Carroll – Durango Democrat – May 30, 1903 – A Drop Too Much – Former Pueblo Man Ground to Pieces on Railway Track – Colorado Springs, May 29 – A man was run over and killed this afternoon on the Midland railroad between here and Colorado City by an express train due here at 6:30. The man was literally ground to pieces, and why his companion who was walking on the track with him did not meet a similar fate seems almost a miracle, but he jumped to one side in time to save himself. From that man it is learned that the name of the dead man was James Carroll, and that he lived in Denver, was a cook and at one time had lived in Pueblo and was employed by a hotel there, but beyond this very little could be obtained from the man, as he was quite drunk. It is supposed they had both been drinking at Colorado City and had started to walk to Colorado Springs.

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.]

Carrow, Lieutenant
Lieutenant Carrow – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – May 29, 1879 – The cause of the suicide of Lieut. Carrow, of the regular army, who shot himself last week, at the Planters' house, has transpired. He was deeply in love with Miss Ella Sturgis, daughter of Lieut. Col. Sturgis, but her father did not fancy his attentions, and removed the young lady to St. Louis. Carrow's pride was hurt by this treatment, but he did not give up the suit. The sentiment of Miss Sturgis does not appear. He followed her to that city two weeks ago, and told a friend that he had gone to get a final answer to his offer of marriage. He was hopeful, too, and was unusually jovial in several social gatherings. One evening he led the german with Miss Sturgis, and embraced the opportunity to plead his case. She told him that she would send him a letter the next day. She kept her promise by a written refusal.

Carson, Kit
General Kit Carson - Colorado Chieftain Weekly – June 1, 1868 – Death of Kit Carson - The melancholy intelligence reaches us that Gen. Kit Carson is no more.  He died at his residence on the Las Animas, on the 24th inst., of disease of the heart.  General Carson was a Kentuckian by birth, removed early in life to the State of Missouri, and while yet a mere boy became a wanderer on the vast plains of the then unknown regions of the West.  From about the age of seventeen years until fifty, he lived the life of a hunter, trader and trapper.  He early explored and became familiar with the mountains and plains from the Missouri to the Pacific ocean.  During all those years of his wild life, he was constantly exposed to every hardship and danger.  Sometimes making his home with some tribe of the Indians and assisting them in their wars against other tribes.  Sometimes employed as a trapper by some mountain trader - sometimes trading on his own account between New Mexico and California.  His home was always the wilderness, and danger was his constant companion.  Unaided by the advantages of education or patronage, by the force of indomitable energy and will, by chivalrous courage, by tireless labor and self-denial he rose step by step until his name had become as familiar to the American people as a household word.  He stood pre-eminent among the path-finders and founders of empire in the Great West, and his long career, ennobled by hardship and danger, is unsullied by the record of a littleness or meanness.  He was nature's model of a gentleman.  Kindly of heart, tolerant to all men, good in virtues of disposition rather than great in qualities of mind, he has passed away - dying as through his life-long he had lived - in peace and charity with all men, and leaving behind him a name and memory to be cherished by his countrymen so long as modesty, valor, unobtrusive worth, charity and true chivalry survive among men.  Of his precise age we are not advised, but judge he was very near sixty years of age.  He leaves children of a tender age to mourn his loss. Golden Colorado Transcript – June 3, 1868 – Death of Kit Carson. – "Kit Carson," of our boyhood days, General Carson of our later years, was truly a representative man. In our childhood we were charmed with the tales of his romantic career, and in our mature years we have looked upon him as one of the links "which bound us to the days when the great West was an unknown wild." A correspondent of the News thus announces his death: Fort Lyon, C. T., May 23, 1868. Eds. News: - General Kit Carson died at this post between the hours of four and five o'clock, afternoon, this day, from disease of the heart, under which he has been laboring since his return from the East. He had been removed to the post some ten days since, so that Dr. Tilton, the post surgeon, could give him better attention than if he remained at his brother-in-law's, Mr. Boggs', some five miles distant. Thus is announced the departure of an American citizen of pre-eminent worth and usefulness. His age, sixty-five years. The retrospect of his native life embraces the origin and growth of a scheme of empire, novel to human history. The individuality of the pioneer is in him especially embodied and illustrated. His childhood was passed in Booslick, Missouri. He was reared in the small family group which surrounded the death-bed of Daniel Boone. Departing from these associations at the delicate age of seventeen, he plunged into the immense wilderness of continent and ocean, then extending in unruffled silence from the Mississippi river to the China shore. With books and their contents he was little or not at all acquainted. In the fresh teachings of nature and her inspiring instincts he was profoundly instructed. Action, stirring, uninterrupted, and telling in prodigious results, has absorbed his well spent life. What stupendous metamorphic changes have passed under his eye, succeeding one another in the solitudes. Successively have appeared the hunters, the bee hunters, the trappers for beavers and furs. The earliest pioneers of progress adventuring out into the wilderness, were absorbed by curiosity and enthusiasm, and blinded to all other impulses, as one who should recklessly embark to cross the ocean in a frail canoe. Their successors have been the redoubtable masters of the rifle with a walnut, stock, exquisitely refined in accuracy of eye, nerve, miraculous fortitude, and indomitable endurance. Successively have come the Indian traders, the agriculturalists, the guerilla settlers, the miners, the explorers, and the founders and architects of society. Of all this scenic panorama of events, Carson has been the animating and oracular chief in the field. The immense area of the continent is spotted over with the scenes of desperate conflicts, of which he has been the heroic and successful leader. Over what an immense expense of plains, of snow clad sierras, of rivers, of lakes, and seas, has he cut out the first paths, into which now the locomotives, the steamships, the organized two halves of human society, are massing the activity, the power, the condensed energy of ancient and of modern times? To his companions Carson has always been known as the most genial and excellent of men – of sleepless activity wherever a charitable act has been within his reach. Daring, devoted, and sincere, his fidelity has been unblemished in every hour of his life, and in every relation. Citizen, soldier, husband, father, neighbor – in all these relations his guiding instinct has been an innate chivalry, fro the practice of which nothing has ever deflected him. He had in him a personal courage which came forth when wanted, like lightning from a cloud – at other times unobtrusive and unnoticed. He has always been identified with Colorado, and has resided and died among us. The best of husbands and fathers, his family was a shining example of domestic love and happiness. His children, four sons and a daughter, all under fifteen years of age, are orphans worthy of their parents, and wards of the American people.

Caruth, Mr.
Mr. Caruth – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 18, 1875 – The Landis-Caruth affair at Vineland, has been brought into fresh prominence by the death of Caruth. Landis is again in jail, and a trial will result, one of the most interesting in criminal history. The question to be determined is whether the shooting caused his death, and if so, whether so rapidly as to establish a high grade of crime against Landis. The physician who made the post mortem examination does not state his opinion as to whether the shooting was the real, or even remote cause of Caruth's death. The coroner's jury declares that the shooting did cause his death, and on this verdict Landis will be arraigned for taking the man's life. It will afford an excellent opportunity for able lawyers to make reputation – this trial of Landis.

Twenty coffins have been ordered by the company from a local undertaking establishment. Two of the dead are Frank Hobat, miner, and R. J. Lumbey, fire boss.

All the men except Lumley were foreigners, most of them being Italians. The explosion stopped the air fan, which was not repaired until late today, and there is little chance that any of the men in the mine at the time of the explosion are still alive. District Superintendent Robert O'Neil is personally directing the work of rescue. Volunteers from adjacent mines are assisting. Rescuers have been divided into two hour shifts and work will be kept up continuously until the entire mine is explored. During the entire day excitement ran high and relatives of the entombed miners stood waiting at the entrance to the mine for a sight of any of the victims that might be brought to the surface. The damage to the mine cannot be learned tonight. An attempt is being made to force air into the mine in the hope that some of the entombed men may be alive, and thus prevent their suffocating. Late advices are that the mine is badly wrecked. The rescue party has penetrated three hundred feet and recovered four bodies, the names not being given. Reno Evening Gazette, Reno, NV- Jan 24, 1907 - Trinidad, Colo., January 24, 1907 - Heroically at work the rescuing party has so far succeeded in recovering but four bodies from the Primero Mine where the explosion occurred yesterday morning.

The exact amount secured by the robber is not known. Casley was about 40 years of age and had lived in Pueblo over two years. He came here from Denver, where his father resides.

Castillo, Shaun
Shaun Castillo – Colorado Springs Gazette – November 19, 1996 – Five Face Trial in Slaying of Trinidad Teen – Trinidad – Five Colorado Springs residents – four of them teen-agers – will stand trial on murder and robbery charges in the strangulation murder of a Trinidad teen-ager and the theft of his Chevrolet Blazer. Shaun Castillo, 18, vanished the night of Oct. 1. His body was found three days later in a stream on the Colorado side of Raton Pass; his car was found Oct. 3 in Las Vegas, where all five suspects were arrested. The suspects are Daniel Martin Hansen, 22; Robert Scott Davis, 18; Larry David Lucas, 16; and Michael Cantrell, 17. A fifth suspect, Theresa Coombs, 17, waived her right to a preliminary hearing. The three juveniles are charged as adults. At Monday's preliminary hearing, Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Dave Sadar testified that two witnesses saw the five suspects contact Castillo on Oct. 1 and saw them climbing into his car. Testimony by other investigators said all five suspects revealed details of the crime during police interrogations. Trinidad detective Ralph Gilardi said Hansen told him that Davis hit Castillo over the head with a flashlight and then put him in a choke hold. Investigator Bill Sneed said Davis accused Hansen of choking Castillo and helping to drag him to the stream. The investigators testified that the five suspects said they did not intend to kill Castillo, but wanted his vehicle. El Paso County Coroner David Bowerman said the autopsy on Castillo showed death from asphyxiation "consistent with manual strangulation" and drowning. Dec. 4 is the next court date for Hansen, Davis, Cantrell, and Lucas. Coombs is scheduled to appear Nov. 27. The five are being held in lieu of bail ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 each. Colorado Springs Gazette – June 14, 1997 – Springs Teen Convicted in Murder of Trinidad Student – Pueblo – A Colorado Springs teen-ager was convicted Monday in the murder of a Trinidad high school student. Larry David Lucas, who was 16 at the time, was charged as an adult in the asphyxiation death of 18-year-old Shaun Castillo. A Pueblo District Court jury found Lucas guilty of first-degree murder and robbery. He will be sentenced Aug. 5. Authorities believe Lucas and four other Colorado Springs youths approached Castillo on the night of Oct. 1 to seek a ride or steal his vehicle. Castillo's body was found near Raton Pass on Oct. 4. His car was recovered in Las Vegas, where the suspects were arrested about a week later. The trial of co-defendant Daniel Hansen is set for July 14. The other three youths have already pleaded guilty to various charges. Colorado Springs Gazette – July 16, 1997 – Last Trial Begins in Trinidad Killing – Man Allegedly Led Springs Gang – Alamosa – A Colorado Springs gang, led by Daniel Hansen, stole a computer in Walsenburg, beat a Trinidad teen to death, and stole his vehicle last October, prosecutors said Tuesday. Hansen, 22, did all the talking for the gang of five Springs young people, Trinidad District Attorney Glen Davis told an Alamosa jury in opening statements. Hansen is on trial for first-degree murder in the beating death and robbery last Oct. 1 of 18-year-old Shaun Castillo of Trinidad. If convicted, Hansen could face life imprisonment. The trial was moved to Alamosa because of pretrial publicity and fear Hansen couldn't get a fair trial. Hansen, dressed in a blue oxford shirt and navy pants, talked frequently with his court-appointed attorney, Lee Hawke. But the defense presented no opening statement. Davis told the jury the group wanted to go to California or Canada, but had little money. "You will hear testimony that this journey was financed through crime," Davis said. He said Hansen admitted to police that he and his gang broke into a house in Walsenburg, stole a laptop computer, and hitched a ride to Trinidad. They later used the computer to attract Castillo's attention. Hansen, the oldest in the group, was the leader, Davis said. "One person did all of the talking. When the group needed something, one man got it for them. It was Daniel Hansen," Davis said. The group was trying to sell the computer to get money for their journey. Castillo was one of the people they made their sales pitch to. At some point in the evening, Castillo agreed to give the scruffy group a ride. Four days later, his badly beaten body was found floating in a creek on Raton Pass, near the Colorado-New Mexico border. Davis said he was strangled and drowned. Two of Castillo's prized possessions, his 1984 Chevy Blazer and his 1997 class ring, were missing. Within 10 days, police arrested Hansen and the four others in Las Vegas. The Blazer was found abandoned and smashed. One of the five was wearing his class ring. "The journey of Shaun Castillo was infinitely longer than the one Daniel Hansen took," Davis said. Castillo's parents sat in the front row of the courtroom Tuesday. But the details were too overwhelming for Shaun's mother, Marilyn, and she had to leave the courtroom. Kirk Weaver and Chris Berry testified that they met Hansen and the other four in Trinidad. They said Hansen and the gang tried to sell them the stolen laptop and asked for a ride. While they spoke with Hansen and the gang, Shaun Castillo drove past, Weaver said. Knowing Castillo was an honor student and college-bound, Weaver suggested Hansen and his group talk to him about the computer. They flagged down Castillo and later saw the group piling in his Blazer. Also testifying Tuesday was Castillo's uncle, Al Trujillo, who was the supervising state trooper on the crime. He had the grisly duty of identifying his nephew's body when it was found in the creek. When he got to the scene, he saw Castillo's smashed glasses. After identifying the victim, Trujillo turned the scene over to other officers. "I was no longer the supervisor. I was Shaun's uncle, "Trujillo said. When prosecutors showed the jury a large photo of Shaun Castillo shown flashing his class ring, a graduation present from his parents, the victim's father, Ray, could not hold back tears. Testimony will resume today. The trial is expected to last through Friday. Hansen is the last of the group to face trial. This is what happened to the other four: Larry Lucas, 16, was convicted June 9 of first-degree murder and robbery. He will be sentenced Aug. 5 and faces life in prison. Michael Cantrell, 17, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. He faced a 96-year sentence, but has withdrawn his plea. Robert Davis, 18, accepted a plea of second-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, and motor vehicle theft. He received 104 years in prison. Theresa Coombs, 17, who allegedly stayed in the truck while the beating took place, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery. She is to be sentenced next week and likely will be released for time served. Colorado Springs Gazette – August 6, 1997 – Teen Sentenced For Role in '96 Trinidad Murder – A Colorado Springs teen will spend the rest of his life behind bars for his part in the killing of a Trinidad youth, a Pueblo judge said Tuesday. Larry David Lucas was convicted of first-degree murder and robbery June 9 in Pueblo District Court for his part in the death of Shaun Castillo, 18, on Oct. 1, 1996. Lucas, 16 at the time, was hitchhiking to Las Vegas with four other young people from Colorado Springs when they got stranded in Trinidad. They hatched a plan to jump the first person they could flag down and steal a car. That happened to be Castillo, a high school senior just getting off work at the Dairy Queen. About eight miles south of Trinidad, on an exit off Raton Pass, Castillo parked his 1984 Blazer and he and the four young men in the group walked into a railroad tunnel. There, according to prosecutors and court testimony, the four men beat Castillo. The Trinidad youth died, Lucas later told authorities, when Robert Scott Davis choked him. The four left Castillo floating in a shallow creek that runs behind the railroad tunnel. A fifth Springs teen, 17-year-old Theresa Coombs, stayed in Castillo's Blazer during the beating. The four-wheel drive, Castillo's pride and joy according to his parents, was found abandoned and battered on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Within days, the youths were arrested; one of the men, according to prosecutors, was wearing Castillo's high school ring. The crime shocked Trinidad, a town of 10,000 people, many of whom have known each other since grade school. And the death of their only child devastated Ray and Marilyn Castillo. After Christmas - their son's favorite holiday – the couple decided to leave Christmas lights up and turn them on every Friday night until the last of the teens accused in their son's death was punished. Colorado Springs Gazette – October 3, 1997 – Fifth Springs Youth Sentenced in Death of Trinidad Teen – Trinidad - Michael Cantrell, 18, the fifth and last person sentenced for a Trinidad teen-ager's death a year ago, has been given 96 years in prison. The sentence was announced Wednesday by District Judge Jesse Manzanares. As part of a plea bargain, Cantrell had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and kidnapping charges stemming from Shaun Castillo's death one year earlier to the day. Cantrell was one of five Colorado Springs youths who pleaded guilty or were convicted in Castillo's murder. Castillo, 18, was killed on Oct. 1, 1996, near Trinidad and his body was found three days later near the top of Raton Pass.

Cater, George
George Cater - Colorado Daily Chieftain - June 12, 1873 - The Tent Spring Tragedy - Statement of Mr. James Madden. With a desire to do justice to everybody, which has always been a characteristic of the Chieftain, we yesterday sent a special reporter to interview Mr. Madden, who is now confined in the county jail in this city, and obtain his version of the recent Tent Springs tragedy. Mr. Madden says that the affair originated out of the transfer of a lot of sheep belonging to Stebbins & Cater to himself and his partner, Mr. Duncan, in exchange for a spring known as the Benton Spring; that Mr. Stebbins had never claimed the spring, not even camped at it, but held another known as the Prairie Spring, at which place he had an unfinished stone house. The spring for which the sheep were paid was originally taken up by a man named Benton, who left the country, and Messrs. Madden and Duncan then occupied the place. Mr. Madden gave also, in exchange for the sheep, a spring called the Dripping Spring, of which he was the first and sole claimant, and also a receipt for about one hundred dollars due from Mr. Stebbins to him for wages. This sale was made on the 25th or 26th of May. The reason Mr. Cater gave for not making any disturbance about the trade was, that he could not make Messrs. Madden and Duncan give possession of the springs, unless they (were) willing to do so. On the first of June, Messrs. Madden and Duncan having no team of their own, Mr. Cater moved their effects to the place at present occupied by them, and used some very rough language saying that he was determined to have the sheep back somehow. On the 2nd of June Mr. Madden came to Pueblo to get provisions and lumber, and during his absence Mr. Cater returned to Messrs. Madden and Duncan's ranch, and said that he had been consulting the neighbors, and that there was to be a meeting of the vigilance committee at a place near by for the purpose of taking the matter into consideration. He also said that if those sheep were not given up, by the aid of the law or the vigilance committee, which he thought very doubtful, he would come and make a quarrel, and he would kill one of the party or they would kill him. He also said that he had been to the Cucharas, and asked Mr. Bragg to sign some paper relating to the matter, and that Mr. B. had refused, saying he knew Mr. Madden, and had nothing against him. Mr. Cater also told Duncan that he must sign a paper giving up his share of the sheep, or he wouldn't answer for the consequences; and that if he did sign the paper, he (Duncan) would not be molested. Duncan, being almost a stranger in the country, signed the paper, fearing that he would be taken out and hanged if he refused. On Mr. Madden's return, on Thursday, he was informed of what had been going on (in) his absence, and was so much alarmed that he left the ranch and did not return until next evening. On Friday morning Mr. Cater came looking for Mr. Madden, and was informed by Mr. Duncan that he was not at home. Mr. Cater then rode up and down, looking about him, and told Mr. Duncan that he thought Mr. Madden was somewhere in the neighborhood hiding away sheep. This Mr. D. denied, and Mr. Cater then said: "When a man is in my state of mind, his worst thoughts are always uppermost. As for Madden, I have no mercy or pity -- he is a d--n son of a b---h." He then left, but returned in the evening, and agreed to receive Mr. Duncan's sheep on Saturday morning, at a point about a mile and a half below the ranch. Mr. Madden was well satisfied with this arrangement, as it would prevent a meeting between him and Mr. Cater, and he (Madden) feared that Cater would do him some injury. On the next morning, the sheep were corralled ready for delivery, and Mr. Madden observed Mr. Cater riding up towards the corral. He immediately sent Mr. Duncan to tell him not to come up there, and also that he, (Madden) would not return his share of the sheep, unless compelled to do so by law. Mr. Cater then sent word to Madden that he would come back to see him about twelve o'clock that day. About the time mentioned, Madden was sitting inside of his cabin door, and observed Messrs. Cater and Creighton, who came riding up within a distance of one hundred and fifty yards of the house, where they dismounted. Cater then advanced a few steps, and then turned back to Creighton and said a few words to him, which were inaudible to Madden. He again started towards the house, and as he came, moved his pistol around on his belt. Madden's fears were excited, and he called out, "That's close enough, stop." Cater then drew his pistol and ran into the arroya between him and the house, and came out at the other side, pistol in hand, still advancing. Madden called twice to him to stop or he would shoot, and the deceased still advanced, and the fatal shot was fired. After Cater was shot, he staggered to one side, with the pistol still in his hand, and Madden, thinking he was only slightly hurt, call(ed) to him to put down the pistol or he would shoot again. Mr. Cater then rolled into the arroyo, and Mr. Madden, thinking he was badly wounded, sent Mr. Duncan to his aid, saying that he would go and give himself up to the authorities, and immediately left the place. Mr. Madden deeply regrets the killing of the deceased, and says that he aimed low, with the intention of preventing Mr. Cater from coming nearer, fearing that he himself would be killed. Mr. Madden also states, in relation to the sheep transaction, that he has met Mr. Stebbens frequently since the trade, and that that gentleman has never given the slightest intimation that he considered the transaction anything else than a fair trade. He also says that Mr. Cater had stated that Mr. Stebbins had given him (Cater) credit for $500 on the books of the firm for his (Cater's) share of the sheep paid Madden and Duncan. After the sheep were turned over to Messrs. Madden & Duncan, Mr. Stebbins offered Mr. Madden $1000 instead of the sheep, which Mr. Madden refused, saying that if he had the money, he would buy sheep with it. Should Mr. Madden be able to prove what he says he can with reference to this sad affair, it will place the matter in altogether another light. George Cater - Daily Rocky Mountain News - May 3, 1874 - El Paso Court Items - On a change of venue from Pueblo county, in the case of Madden for the killing of George Cator, the trial was put over, owing to the absence of important witnesses.

Caveness, William
William Caveness – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – December 20, 1877 – The Arizona Miner contains the following with reference to William Caveness, well known in Southern Colorado: "Governor Hoyt, last evening received a telegram from C. E. Cooley, deputy United States marshal at Camp Apache, informing him of the hanging of two desperados on the Little Colorado. Cooley went with a detachment of soldiers to Springerville, and arrested William Snider, alias Bill Caveness, and E. M. Overstreet, and as their offence was a territorial one, he turned them over to William Milligan, deputy sheriff, to bring them to Prescott to jail. After Cooley had left Springerville with the soldiers, a mob arose and took the prisoners from Milligan, and, in the language of the telegram, disposed of them according to frontier law, which we presume means that they hung them. District Attorney Paul Webber received a similar telegram.

Centers, Ella
Ella Centers -Telluride Daily Journal - June 2, 1922 - Two Murdered When Jealous Suitor Shoots - Mine Watchman Kills His Rival in Home of the Girl - Uses a Shot Gun - Girl Flees but Her Head Is Blown Off by Pursuer - Trinidad, Colo., June 2 - Ella Centers, aged 25, and Wilbur Ferguson were foully murdered here last night by Joseph McGonigal, a jealous suitor. Miss Centers, the daughter of the boarding house keeper at the Royal mine, was in her home last night with Ferguson, who was writing a letter. McGonigal, a watchman at the Jewel mine, entered the house and shot Ferguson, who died immediately. The Centers girl fled, but was pursued by McGonigal who blew her head off with a shot gun. It is believed that the shooting took place over the hand of Miss Centers. Ferguson, of Saco, Maine, and a student in the School of Mines, was a temporary watchman at the Royal mine and boarded at the Centers' home. Miss Centers accepted the attentions of Ferguson and this made McGonigal furiously jealous and the double killing resulted. Immediately after the shooting McGonigal was arrested. It was found that he had a bullet wound in his foot, but this wound is believed to have been self-inflicted. Golden Colorado Transcript - June 8, 1922 - Popular Mines Student Murdered at Coal Camp - Wilbur Ferguson, prominent athlete and one of the most popular students of the School of Mines, was shot and instantly killed at Aguilar last Thursday by Joe McGonigal, a watchman. The shooting occurred in the dining room of the mine boarding house where Ferguson was sitting at a table writing. J. C. Williams, master of the Golden Masonic lodge, of which order Ferguson was a member, made a trip to Aguilar last Saturday to get the correct information concerning the murder, and found that the shooting of young Ferguson was a cold blooded affair and without provocation. On Thursday morning Ferguson was in the dining room writing a letter to his mother. McGonigal suddenly entered the room, carrying a sawed-off shotgun. He ordered Ferguson to get out of the house. Ferguson looked up from his writing, but made no move to arise from his chair, and with that McGonigal drew down on him with the gun and fired. The charge of buckshot entered Ferguson's chest. When McGonigal first entered the dining room, Ella Centers, daughter of the boarding house keeper, and with whom McGonigal was infatuated, was at work in a pantry adjoining the dining room. Another girl was with her. Just before the shot was fired the Centers girl rushed into the room, apparently with the idea of preventing the shooting. When Ferguson fell the girl rushed out of the house and into a deep arroyo, McGonigal running after her. McGonigal ran along the edge of the gulch and finally got just above the girl. She fell on her knees and pleaded with him to spare her life, but, taking slow and deliberate aim at her, he fired, killing the girl instantly. Several men working on a bridge nearby were witnesses to this killing. After shooting the girl, McGonigal fled to his own room in the boarding house and fired several shots from a revolver into his hat brim. He then sent a bullet into his foot and went into the room where Ferguson was lying. He placed the revolver about (?) Ferguson and then threw himself on the floor, pretending to be unconscious. State rangers entered the house and found the killer in that position. He was yanked to his feet, and the only thing he would say when questioned as to his motive in killing Ferguson and the girl was "Dead men tell no tales." Ferguson's right hand still grasped the fountain pen with which he had been writing, showing that there had been no fight. McGonigal had been known in the coal camp for some time as an all around bad man. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict Saturday to the effect that the killing was premeditated and felonious. Young Ferguson left Golden soon after school closed to take a job as watchman at the Royal mine at Aguilar, planning in this way to earn money to aid him in completing his college course. The Royal mine is owned by the National Fuel Company and officers of that company told Mr. Williams Sunday that Ferguson had so impressed them that a much better position was being prepared for him. Ferguson was one of the most popular men in the School of Mines, and was a favorite with students, faculty members and townspeople in general and his untimely death has brought great sorrow to this community. During the war Ferguson enlisted in Maine and served overseas in a machine gun company. After returning from France he came to Golden and entered the School of Mines as a freshman. He became a general favorite at once, and was elected president of the freshman class. He took a prominent part in athletics and all student activities and last fall was one of the mainstays of the Mines football team. He had been elected president of next year's junior class. He was a member of the Masonic order and of the local chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Ferguson, live in Saco, Maine, and he also leaves one brother. The body was taken to Denver and services were held at the Olinger mortuary yesterday morning, being attended by many lodge and fraternity brothers of the deceased, as well as many other friends. The remains have been shipped to the home in Maine for interment.

Chambers, Eleanor
Eleanor Chambers – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – August 31, 1876 – Obituary Notice – Mrs. Eleanor, wife of Rev. Adam Chambers, died at her residence in Pueblo, August 15th, 1876. She was born in the year 1845, sixth month and 14th day. Her parents, both residents of Wales, were John and Mary Anne Phillips. While her parents were Calvinistic Methodist, yet her childhood up to age was more particularly under the instruction of the Episcopal church of England. About five years before her death she obtained a clear evidence of her acceptance with God and was able to claim Christ as her personal Savior. During all those five years she testified in spirit, in word and walk that she was redeemed from a life of sin and identified with all who loved the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who knew her best can witness to her earnest devotion to all the interests of Christianity. She was married to Rev. Adam Chambers, on the 2nd day of April 1874. Fourteen weeks before her death the lovely babe that brightened her home for two months was born. As a flower it bloomed, then faded to re-expand and bloom in the paradise of God forever. The painful and protracted affliction of Sister Chambers was endured with all that calm spirit of patience that bespoke a soul fully and sweetly resigned to the sovereign will of God. As a wife, she was affectionate, gentle and prudent. As a neighbor she was companionable, affable and sweet. In all these relations, she will be greatly missed. Her bereaved husband has the sympathy and prayers of all his Christian brethren and friends.

Chance, David
David Chance - The Denver Post - October 30, 2007 - Pueblo Cabbie Shot Dead; 2 Flee Scene - A Pueblo cab driver was shot dead early this morning, and two men were seen running from his cab, police said. The shooting happened at about 1:35 a.m. in the 1500 block of 11th Street, Pueblo police said in a press release. Police identified the victim as 51-year-old David Chance, a driver for City Cab. Witnesses told investigators they saw two men running from the cab after the shooting. The investigation is ongoing, and no suspects have been taken into custody, said police Sgt. Elias Manzanares. There have not been any recent shooting deaths of cab drivers in Pueblo, Manzanares said. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Detective Don Litton at 719-553-2533 or Crime Stoppers at 719-542-7867. The Denver Post - October 31, 2007 - Pueblo Mom, Cabbie Slain in Unrelated Shootings - Pueblo police are hunting for two suspects in connection with the shooting death of a 51-year-old cab driver early Tuesday, and have arrested a man in the death of his 86-year-old mother, who was shot outside her home late Monday. The two homicides are unrelated. Co-workers of the cab driver described the victim as a polite, hard-working cabbie. The shooting happened about 1:35 a.m. Tuesday in the 1500 block of East 11th Street, Pueblo police said. Police identified the victim as 51-year-old David Chance, a driver for City Cab. "He was just a real nice guy and I can't see any reason as to why this would happen," said Glen Nading, a dispatcher with City Cab. Witnesses told investigators they saw two men running from the cab after the shooting. The investigation is ongoing and no suspects have been taken into custody, said police Sgt. Elias Manzanares. Chance was originally from Michigan and had been working at the cab company for four years, Nading said. Nading said Chance is survived by a wife and two children. Contributions to the David Chance Memorial Fund can be made at any US Bank branch in Colorado. The Pueblo Chieftain - October 31, 2007 - Police Continue Search in Cabby Slaying - Pueblo police on Tuesday were busy investigating two unrelated homicides, one which netted an arrest and the other that had officers on the hunt for two suspects. Detectives were investigating the death of 51-year-old taxi driver David Chance, who was shot in the head after dropping off two customers at 1525 E. 11th St. Witnesses said they saw two males between the ages of 17 and 21 run from the scene. The suspects ran east on 11th Street and south on Ogden Avenue. Officer Daniel Pratt said the cab's right rear passenger door was left open. The suspects wore dark-colored hooded sweatshirts and white T-shirts. Police reports indicate the suspects were picked up from apartments in the 4000 block of O'Neal Avenue, where investigators recovered beer cans and phone cards from a telephone booth. The address Chance was killed at was "the address the cab was called to go to," said Sgt. Eli Manzanares of the Pueblo Police Department's investigation unit. "That was the address he was to deliver his fare." According to Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer, Chance was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:36 a.m. Manzanares wouldn't say if Chance had been robbed or if anything was missing from the cab. Manzanares also wouldn't discuss their evidence, but a police report said possible shotgun wadding was recovered at the scene. Anyone with information about the case can make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers, 542-7867, or can call Detective Don Litton at 553-2533. Chance had worked about four years for City Cab, according to a company spokesman. The David Chance Memorial Fund has been set up to help the family with funeral costs. Donations may be made at all U.S. Bank locations. According to Pueblo Chieftain archives, a man was given the death penalty for killing a part-time City Cab driver in March 1960. John Bizup Jr., 26, was executed after confessing to the robbery-slaying of 24-year-old Roy D. Bussey (Bussey was robbed of $22). In August 1964, Bizup died in a gas chamber at Colorado State Penitentiary in Canon City. The deaths of Mary Avery and Chance are Pueblo's sixth and seventh homicides of the year. Pueblo Chieftain - November 1, 2007 - Cabby Likely Slain For a $17 Fare - In the world of taxi drivers, a "skip" is when a passenger steals a ride, or leaves without paying the fare. Cabdriver David Chance was skipped for more than money early Tuesday. The 51-year-old father of three and grandfather of two was shot in the head, possibly with a shotgun, after dropping off two customers on the East Side. "This is what we call a skip gone bad," George Kirby, Chance's boss at City Cab, said Wednesday. "It was a botched skip. We haul the good, the bad and the ugly. Almost everyone in Pueblo's great. I love the people of Pueblo, but this was premeditated, cold-blooded murder." The cost of his last fare? "The meter read $17," Kirby said. Pueblo police continued investigating Chance's death Wednesday without making any arrests. Detective Don Litton, lead investigator in the case, said: "We've got a couple people of interest in this case, but I can't go into that right now." He said the investigation is still centering on two male suspects, ages 17 to 21, that were seen leaving the cab at the time of the incident. Nothing has been reported missing from the cab. The suspects were picked up from the 4000 block of O'Neal Avenue. Chance was pronounced dead at 1:36 a.m., in his taxi parked in the driveway of 1525 E. 11th St. Litton said the resident there didn't know why anyone would've gone to his home at that hour. "Did (the suspects) just pull that address out of a hat? It's one of those unanswered questions," he said. Anyone with information about the case can call Crime Stoppers, 542-7867, or Litton at 553-2533. The David Chance Memorial Fund has been set up at all U.S. Bank locations to help Chance's family and for funeral costs. Chance had worked full-time for City Cab since September 2004. His co-workers described him as polite, dependable, a good driver and a solid employee. "It's a very sad and unfortunate time for City Cab," Kirby said, who's co-owned the company for more than 30 years. "I'll certainly miss Dave and so will the cab company." Patricia Hill, family spokeswoman, said Chance's wife of 23 years, Darla, and the rest of the family are still in shock and taking the loss in stride. "It's such a shame that it was okay to take someone's husband, somebody's father, somebody's son," Hill said. "I can't comprehend it. It's so stupid, heartless and cruel to do that. They just had to run, they didn't have to shoot him. (Chance) loved his family, his wife and his children. Life was a struggle and he was trying - trying to make the best of things out of the hand he was dealt. Of all the things he did best, his children were the best things he left behind." A cabdriver transports a variety of colorful passengers - sober, drunk, sad, happy, obnoxious - which makes an interesting and dangerous occupation. "I've had drivers tell me 'It's the best job I've had. You meet someone different every 15 minutes,' " Kirby said. "But I tell my drivers - every customer you haul can be a potentially dangerous person." Cab No. 3, Chance's cab, will be retired in his memory. Pueblo Chieftain - November 2, 2007 - Police Continue Hunt for Cabdriver Killers - Pueblo police were still searching Thursday for suspects - and possible accomplices, the first public mention of more than two people involved - to the early Tuesday morning slaying of a City Cab driver. Detective Don Litton said Thursday police have made no arrests in connection with the shooting death of 51-year-old David Chance, 51, who was found dead in his cab after dropping off two customers at an East Side home. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer confirmed Thursday that Chance died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head. "We have some good evidence and information coming in constantly," Litton said. "Whoever did this wasn't careful. They left a good trail." Litton said the investigation has been centering on two males, between the ages of 17 and 21, who were seen leaving the cab at the time of the incident. The suspects were picked up by Chance in the 4000 block of O'Neil Avenue on the South Side and were taken to a home at 1525 E. 11th St. It was in front of that address that police found Chance shot to death in his cab at about 1:36 a.m. Tuesday. Police believe that Chance was shot after the suspects failed to pay the $17 fare. Litton said although information is coming in on the case, he urged anyone who may have seen anything suspicious or unusual in the early morning hours of Tuesday to contact police. "We're asking that anybody who saw these people running through the neighborhoods or anyone who may have gotten a good look at them, any suspicious vehicles they saw in the area, please call the police," Litton said. Litton said although the investigation is focusing on the two individuals who took the cab ride, he said police are certain there are others involved. "Based on the evidence, it's looking like there are several more people involved as accomplices," he said. Litton said police have not recovered a weapon. Pueblo Chieftain - November 11, 2007 - Arrests Made in Cab Driver Slaying - More Arrests Could Result as the Investigation Continues, Pueblo Police Say - Three teenagers, two of whom are brother and sister, have been arrested in connection to the Oct. 30 shotgun slaying of a Pueblo cab driver. Maximo Daniel Ramos, 19, and 16-year-old Raymond Guy Terrones each were re-arrested Friday on a warrant for first-degree murder. Ramos and Terrones initially were arrested later in the day of the homicide on separate unrelated charges and have been in custody ever since. Both were being held Saturday in lieu of $1 million bail. On Saturday at her job, Pueblo police arrested Terrones' sister, 19-year-old Bridget Ann Terrones, on a warrant for accessory to the crime of first-degree murder. She was being held in jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. Pueblo Deputy Police Chief John Ercul and Capt. John Barger said additional arrests could come as the investigation continues. "We do have evidence that other people are involved," Ercul said. Affidavits in the case have been sealed until the investigation is completed, according to investigators and District Attorney Bill Thiebaut. Asked about whether the juvenile will be charged as an adult, Thiebaut said: "All options are available depending on the outcome of evidence." Barger said detectives have not found the homicide weapon, described as a short shotgun, that was used to kill 51-year-old City Cab driver David Chance. Chance was shot in the back of the head about 1:30 a.m. in the driveway of an East Side home, where Ramos' father lives. Before the shooting, Chance picked up Ramos and Raymond Terrones at apartments in the 4000 block of O'Neal Avenue, according to police. Investigators and the victim's co-workers say possible motives might have been attempted robbery or the suspects' unwillingness to pay the fare, which was $17. Investigators declined to identify who is the suspected shooter. In Colorado, a person who accompanies the suspected killer can be charged with first-degree murder when a slaying occurs during a robbery. Pueblo Chieftain - November 14, 2007 - Two More Arrested in Cabby's Death - Police arrested two more suspects Tuesday in connection with the Oct. 30 shooting death of a Pueblo cabbie. One of the suspects nabbed Tuesday is the grandson of the district attorney's chief investigator. Olin Ferrier, 21, and Matthew J. Koncilja, 24, were booked at county jail on warrants for first-degree murder related to the death of 51-year-old David Chance. Koncilja's grandfather, John Koncilja Jr., is the chief investigator under District Attorney Bill Thiebaut. Thiebaut said his office will seek a prosecutor from an outside jurisdiction to handle the case because of the conflict of interest. "Obviously, this is a critical case to our community and to our office,' Thiebaut said. "We learned of Mr. Koncilja's alleged involvement (Tuesday). At that moment, we began undertaking steps to have a special prosecutor enter the case at the proper time. Ethical considerations demand that we do so. We have no choice. We are approaching the situation carefully, working to secure a highly competent special prosecutor who will handle the case in as sterling a fashion as our office would.' The arrests of Ferrier and Koncilja were the fourth and fifth related to the slaying of Chance. Last week police arrested 19-year-old Maximo Daniel Ramos and 16-year-old Raymond Guy Terrones on first-degree murder charges in connection with the shooting that killed Chance. Terrones' sister, 19-year-old Bridget Ann Terrones was booked on suspicion of being an accessory to the murder after the fact. Pueblo Deputy Police Chief John Ercul said at least one more person suspected of direct involvement in the crime and one more suspected accessory could be arrested in the days ahead. Ercul said the accessories are suspected of hiding evidence and harboring suspects. Police have not publicly identified the suspected shooter. Chance died from a single shotgun blast to the back of the head. He was found dead at 1:30 a.m. inside his cab in the driveway of Ramos' father's home on the city's East Side. He reportedly picked up two fares from a South Side apartment complex and drove them to the location where he was found dead. Police are eyeing robbery as a possible motive. "We think there were two people in the cab, and probably three others in another vehicle, a getaway car, laying back in the bushes,' Ercul said. Bridget Terrones is being held at county jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. Each of the other suspects is in jail with bail set at $1 million. Colorado Springs Gazette - November 17, 2007 - Another Arrest in Cab Driver΄s Slaying - Pueblo police have arrested a sixth person in connection with the Oct. 30 death of a cab driver. Police announced late Thursday that a 17-year-old was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder. His name was not released because he faces a juvenile charge, said Pueblo police Sgt. Elias Manzanares. Cab driver David Chance, 51, was shot to death in his cab about 1:30 a.m. Oct. 30. Police have said it was a robbery that went bad. He was owed $17 in cab fare. Those previously arrested were Olin Ferrier, 21; Matthew Koncilja, 24; Maximo Ramos, 19, and a 16-year-old boy, whose name wasn΄t released because he΄s a juvenile. Bridget Terrones, 19, was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to first-degree murder. Before he was shot, Chance had dropped off two of the suspects at 1125 E. 11th St., according to police. Manzaneres would not comment on the 17-year-old΄s alleged role in the killing. He said there could be more arrests. Rocky Mountain News - December 22, 2007 - Soldier Among Those Arrested After Cabbie's Death - A Fort Carson soldier is among six people arrested in connection with the slaying of a Pueblo cab driver in October. Spc. Olin Ferrier, 22, was being held at the Pueblo County jail on bail of $1 million. An arrest affidavit links him to the death of cab driver David Chance, who was shot in the head Oct. 30. A $17 cab fare was unpaid, the affidavit said. In the affidavit, police accused Ferrier and four others in a scheme in which the suspects were believed to have robbed a man of his mobile phone, used the stolen phone to call a cab, and then killed the cab driver for cash because "they needed money to party." The affidavit said Ferrier carried a "short rifle" the night of the killing but that Ferrier denied involvement in the slaying when he spoke to police days after Chance's death. Fort Carson officials said Ferrier, of Atlantic City, N.J., is a supply clerk with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team. He served a year in Iraq, ending in November 2006, and has received awards including the Army Achievement Medal, Army Commendation Medal and Combat Action Badge. His unit returned to Iraq late last month without him. The affidavit says he lives in Pueblo. The cab was headed to an address where the father of one of the suspects lives, the affidavit said. Maximo Ramos, 19, and his 16-year-old half brother, Raymond Guy Terrones, were arrested on other warrants but were later linked to the killing. Ramos has denied involvement. Police also arrested Daniel John Montoya, 17, on suspicion of murder. He and Terrones were charged as adults. Terrones sister Bridget Ann Terrones, 19, faces a charge of being an accessory. The grandfather of another suspect, Matthew John Koncilja, 24, told investigators his grandson matched the description of one of the suspects. Koncilja's grandfather is chief investigator for the district attorney's office in Pueblo. Investigators suspect that the group panicked when Chance resisted the robbery and shot him before fleeing without his wallet. The 4th Judicial District Attorney's Office is prosecuting the case because of the work of Koncilja's grandfather for the district attorney in Pueblo. The legal representation for the suspects was not immediately clear. Pueblo Chieftain - December 20, 2007 - Police Reveal Details in Cabby Slaying - Police suspect the recent shooting death of a taxi driver was the culmination of a nightlong crime spree intended to cop drug money. The suspects failed, according to arrest affidavits made public on Wednesday. When 52-year-old cabby David Chance was found slumped over dead in the driver's seat of his taxi at 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 30, he had about $170 in his pocket. Witnesses told police the suspects returned after killing Chance to recover the money, but didn't follow through with the theft because of the mess they'd left behind. "We feel the plan was to rob the (cab) driver and have a car there to pick (the suspects) up afterwards,' Pueblo Police Detective Don Litton surmised in an arrest affidavit that previously had been sealed by court order. So far five suspects are in custody facing first-degree murder charges for Chance's death. They are suspected shooter 22-year-old Fort Carson soldier Olin "Famous" Ferrier; suspected getaway driver Matthew John Koncilja, 24; Maximo Daniel Ramos, 19; his half-brother Raymond Guy Terrones, 16; and 17-year-old Daniel John Montoya. Terrones and Montoya have been charged as adults. Terrones' sister, Bridget Ann Terrones, 19, faces a charge of accessory to murder for allegedly harboring suspects and helping to dispose of evidence. At 10:30 p.m. on the night leading up to the shooting, a 24-year-old man reported he had been robbed of his cellular phone in an alley near Fourth Street and Fountain Avenue. Police later linked the stolen phone to a call that summoned Chance's cab to the Oasis Apartments, 4001 O'Neal Ave., right before he was shot. City Cab records showed that Chance picked up two fares at the O'Neal address. They were bound for an address familiar to the cab company, 1525 E. 11th St. That's where Ramos' estranged father lived at the time. He commonly called cabs for rides to and from the Pixie Inn. In fact, when the cab company's dispatcher fielded the ill-fated call on the night Chance died, he presumed it to be Ramos' father, who was affectionately known at the cab company as "Mr. Pixie." The elder Ramos was not the fare that night. He became involved when he called police to report a suspicious vehicle in his driveway. It turned out to be the cab that contained Chance's dead body. Ramos' father was the first to steer police toward the suspects they eventually arrested. He suggested police round up his son for questioning. Apparently the father and son hadn't spoken for quite a while at that point. Maximo Ramos' fingerprint was found on the roof of the cab. Further investigation with the cab company revealed that a teenage boy had twice beaten cabbies for fares in the last year during stops made at the 11th Street address. The cheapskate teen had distinctive tattoos of two eyeballs on the back of his head, so it wasn't hard for police to determine Raymond Terrones' possible link to the crime. Ramos and Raymond Terrones both were arrested on the afternoon following the shooting. They were booked on unrelated warrants while the investigation progressed. At an acquaintance's house, police recovered clothing reportedly worn by the pair on the night of the shooting. It had been laundered but still contained blood and brain matter from the shooting, according to an affidavit. Koncilja was arrested Nov. 13, when his grandfather, District Attorney's Chief Investigator John Koncilja, recognized that his grandson's physical description and car matched witness statements about the night of the crime. Matthew Koncilja told investigators that the cell phone was stolen earlier in the night with the intention of using a cell phone untraceable to the suspects to start the cab robbery in motion. Koncilja and the other suspects reportedly waited nearby the 11th Street address to pick up Ramos and Ferrier after the robbery, but it went wrong. In his affidavit detailing the investigation, Litton explained investigators' theory about the crime. "If someone is merely attempting to get a free ride from a taxicab, they would simply bail out when they arrived to the location they wanted to go," Litton wrote. "(Police) believe the suspects were attempting to rob the driver at gunpoint and he was resisting. The suspects were not planning on shooting the driver and they panicked afterwards and ran without taking his wallet. Also, because of the cellular telephone records, we know that phone calls were being placed back and forth (between the suspected conspirators) during the time the suspects were in the taxicab. There is also the matter of the suspicious dark colored car that drove up to the scene just moments after the shooting. This shows that someone had either been following them or they were called and told what happened." Because of Koncilja's familial connection to the district attorney's office in Pueblo, the El Paso County district attorney's office will prosecute each of the cases. To date, only Bridget Terrones has made bail. Each of the other suspects is being held at the Pueblo County Detention Center. A preliminary hearing in the case is set for March 6.

Chapman, Hugh
Hugh Chapman - Yampa Leader - August 3, 1907 - The Angel of Death has once more come into Routt County, this time to take Hugh Chapman of Pinnacle, one of the oldest and most highly respected residents of this portion of the state. After an illness extending over many months and from which it was known there could be no recovery, he passed to his long rest on Wednesday morning, shortly before 3 o'clock. Heart trouble, with which had been associated many complications, was the cause of death. The end came most peacefully, Mr. Chapman being conscious almost until the last moment. He conversed with the members of his family and others present, and finally sank into that sleep from which there is no awakening on this side of the grave. Grandpa Chapman is survived by his widow, two sons, nine grandchildren and one great-grandson, all residing in the vicinity of Pinnacle and Yampa. One sister, who is 93 years of age, is living, her home being at Hannibal, Mo. The funeral services were held at the Yampa Congregational church Thursday afternoon and every seat in the large building was occupied, testifying to the high esteem in which the deceased was held in the community. Rev. I. J. Tripp, in very appropriate language, spoke of the high character of the one who had gone, of his long Christian life, and of the fact that everyone who had known him spoke in the highest terms and his strict observance of the highest principle of manhood. The burial was at the Yampa cemetery, more than a score of carriages following the remains to their last resting place. The services at the grave were closed by the singing of "Sweet Bye and Bye," this having been one of the last requests of the deceased. The pallbearers also had been chose by Mr. Chapman, almost in his last hour on earth, all being friends to whom he was deeply attached. Those thus honored were W. V. Hughes, W.C.T. Male, L. G. Stevenson, F. D. Hutchinson, Charles A. Purinton and Samuel C. Reid. Grandpa Chapman had been a resident of Routt County for the past 14 years, and few citizens are better known than him and his two sons, David M. and Franz S. Chapman. Locating in 1893 at Pinnacle, where his younger son had been practically the first settler, five years before, he engaged in ranching and stock raising, and quickly became known among the people of the surrounding country as a man of integrity and honor, and no citizen of the county stood higher in the esteem of his neighbor. Hugh Chapman was born at Steubenville, Ohio, on June 26, 1834, and was therefore a little over 73 years old at the time of his death. On November 2, 1854, he was united in marriage with Cordelia Scarlott, a native of Virginia, and to them were born four children, two of whom died at an early age. Mr. Chapman and his wife lived in Ohio until 1859, and then at Hannibal, Mo., until 1882 when they moved to Colorado and located at Denver, where they remained until 1887. From Denver they changed their residence to Pueblo, and in 1892 to Leadville. Mr. Chapman was a railroad coach builder, and worked at his trade in these various localities. A member of the Methodist church during his early life, Mr. Chapman became associated with the United Brethren church upon coming to Colorado, and through his long life he took an interest in religious matters. Politically he was a Democrat and fraternally a Knight of Pitheas. Always a good citizen, he displayed a lively interest in the affairs of government, but he never sought public office, being ever content to exert his influence from the ranks of the voters. By his death Routt county loses one of its best men.

Murder committed by a reject suitor of the bride, broke up wedding festivities. The crime is thought to have resulted in the death of Fabino Gallegos and Amarante Chavez. At the hospital Chavez made effort to tell who did the shooting but was too weak. He said one single word, "Cirranio", this is thought to be the first name of the man who fired the shots. Two theories result, one being that the shooting of Gallegos happened because he was being shown more favor during the dance than the murderer, and the shooter was an unsuccessful suitor for the hand of the bride and created a disturbance. Chavez, a friend of the man who was killed interposed and was shot. Amarante Chavez -Rocky Mountain News - September 16, 1911 - At Pueblo, a search has failed to reveal the hiding place of La Falla Fipiono, who is alleged to have shot and killed Sabino Gallegos and Amarante Chavez, following a wedding there last evening.

The men quarreled at the dance and Fipiono pulled a revolver and fired at Gallegos, whom he accused of breaking up his home. Sanchez, a friend of Gallegos, interfered and received two fatal wounds.

Chenoweth introduced the first bill in Congress in 1952 for the Fryingpan-Arkansas River Diversion project which brings water from the Arkansas River headwaters near Leadville to the Arkansas Valley. The project included development of Lake Pueblo. He called completion of the project "a dream come true." Other pet projects during his congressional years included the Purgatoire Dam at Trinidad and the U. S. Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs. In a 1983 interview for The Pueblo Star-Journal and Chieftain, Chenoweth said he "couldn't have won (his repeated elections to Congress) without a lot of help from the Democrats. The 19 counties in my district had a lot of Democrats." Born Aug. 17, 1897, in Trinidad, he was graduated from Trinidad High School in 1915 and attended Colorado University for two years, then studied law part-time while working in Trinidad. Chenoweth was admitted to the Colorado Bar in 1925 and began practicing law in Trinidad in 1926. He was assistant district attorney for the 3rd Judicial District from 1929 to 1933 and was appointed county judge in Trinidad that year. He was elected to that post in 1934 and reelected in 1936. He was named chairman of the Republican State Central Committee in 1937 and held that position when he was elected to Congress in 1940. He returned to Trinidad in 1964 and resumed his law practice at the age of 71. He was still practicing law on a limited basis until entering the hospital recently. Judge and Mrs. Chenoweth observed their 50th wedding anniversary on Dec. 25, 1969. They were married Dec. 25, 1919, in Trinidad.

Chilcott, George Miles
George Miles Chilcott - Pueblo Daily Chieftain - March 7, 1891 - Death of Hon. G. M. Chilcott. A telegram received in this city yesterday afternoon contained the brief announcement that the Hon. George M. Chilcott, of this city, had died at St. Louis yesterday. The deceased has been in ill health for a long time, having been affected with rheumatism, heart trouble and dyspepsia, complicated with nervous prostration. A few weeks since he was taken to St. Louis for medical treatment. His condition has been variable since his arrival there, sometimes better and some times worse. A day or two since it was reported that he was attacked by pneumonia and it is more than likely that that disease was the immediate cause of his death. The death of George M. Chilcott will cause a void in Pueblo which will remain long unfilled. Few men in Colorado were as universally known and respected as he was. His genial disposition and sympathetic nature, combined with a benevolence that was remarkable, endeared him to everybody. His house was at all times open to his friends and acquaintances and his hospitality was of that open handed, hearty style which made every visitor feel at home under his roof. His personal popularity was such that during more than forty years of political life, he never failed to be elected by the people to any position to which he aspired. Politically speaking he was invincible. As a citizen he was always foremost in advocating all movements for the public good. Through his efforts the State Insane asylum was located at Pueblo; he built the first good hotel building, now known as the "Fifth Avenue," ever erected in Pueblo; as well as the Chilcott block at the corner of Santa Fe avenue and Sixth streets, which at first contained a large public hall on the upper floor; was a part owner of the Chilcott-Wells block on the lower part of Santa Fe avenue, and also of numerous other buildings in various parts of the city. He had been an invalid for a long time, in fact ever since the death of his wife, a few years since. Mr. Chilcott was born in Trough Creek Valley, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, January 2, 1828, and hence at the time of his death was sixty-three years of age. He was brought up on a farm and educated in the country schools of the day. Early in 1844 he removed with his parents to Jefferson county, Iowa, and worked upon a farm for two years. He afterwards taught school and studied medicine until the spring of 1850. In March of that year he was married to Miss Jennie Cox, who died a few years since universally respected by all who knew her. In 1853 he was nominated by the Whigs for sheriff of Jefferson County and was triumphantly elected. He removed to Burt county, Nebraska, in 1856, and was shortly afterwards elected to represent the counties of Burt and Cummings in the house of representatives of the general assembly of Nebraska, which met in session at Omaha in the winter of 1856-57. In 1859 he concluded to emigrate to Colorado, or as it was then called, the "Pike's Peak country," and arrived in Denver in the month of May. He was employed in prospecting during the summer and in the fall following he was elected from the town of Arapahoe, to the constitutional convention which met in Denver. Toward the close of the year Mr. Chilcott went back to his family in Nebraska, remained there all winter, returning to Colorado the next spring. He spent the summer of 1860 on Cherry creek, and in October of that year removed to southern Colorado, taking up his abode in what is now known as Pueblo County. Soon after his arrival here everything he owned, consisting of his team, wagon, and other things, was stolen from him by a man who pretended to be his friend and who left for parts unknown. Being left penniless in a strange country, Mr. Chilcott turned his attention to farming and went to work by the day for a ranchman. He worked during the years 1861 and 1862 and in 1863 located on a farm of his own on the Arkansas, twelve miles east of Pueblo, which still belongs to his estate. During that year he returned to Nebraska and brought his family to this state. He was elected a member of the Territorial legislature and sat during the first and second session of that body. President Lincoln, in 1863, appointed him register of the United States Land Office for the district of Colorado. When Mr. Chilcott first entered upon the duties of the office it was located at Golden, but was subsequently removed to Denver. He held that position nearly four years until he was elected in 1866 a member of congress under the first state organization. Congress refused to receive Colorado as a state at that time and Mr. Chilcott was refused a seat. He was elected a delegate to congress in 1867 for the territory of Colorado and served one term. It was he who introduced a bill repealing the act which provided for the changing of letter postage on all printed matter west of the Kansas line and east of the eastern boundary of California, and through his efforts the bill was passed. He succeeded, also, in having the appropriations for government surveys in Colorado largely increased and in having passed an important bill regarding the St. Vrain and Vigil land grant. Mr. Chilcott was a member of the territorial council and president of that body during the session of 1872-73. He was also a member in 1874. In 1878 he was elected a member of the House of Representatives from Pueblo County, and during the session of 1878-79, was prominently before the legislature as a candidate for United States senator, to which position Hon. N. P. Hill was elected. In 1882, when Senator Teller resigned his position to accept the appointment of secretary of the interior under President Arthur, Governor Pitkin appointed Mr. Chilcott United States senator to fill the unexpired term of Senator Teller. Mr. Chilcott discharged the duties of that high position to the satisfaction of all concerned until the election of Senator Tabor as his successor brought his term of office to a close. In 1884 he was elected to represent Pueblo county in the senate of the general assembly and served in that capacity four years, acting as president pro tem of that body. During that period he was instrumental in passing many important measures, but continued ill health seriously impeded his labors. Last fall, when the campaign for state officials was about to be inaugurated, numerous friends of Mr. Chilcott attempted to prevail upon him to be a candidate for the republican nomination for governor. He received a host of letters upon the subject from leading republicans in all parts of the state, and it was agreed by the managers of the party that he could have the nomination if he so desired. The state of his health was such, however, that he feared the effect of the excitement and fatigue of a political campaign and he was compelled to decline. As a husband and father Mr. Chilcott was kind and indulgent, as a citizen and a man he was without a peer, and as a public officer his record was clean and above reproach. No charge of corruption or malfeasance was ever brought against him during his long and varied public career and even his worst enemies were obliged to acknowledge that he was an honest man and a conscientious officer.

Chilcott, Grant
Grant Chilcott – Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 20, 1879 – Death of Grant Chilcott. It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of Grant Chilcott, one of the brightest and most promising youths of our city. He was taken sick two weeks ago last Saturday with a fever. He recovered from this sufficiently to come down town the forepart of last week. He took cold and a relapse set in from which he died on Sunday at half-past four o'clock. The immediate cause of his death was inflammation of the bowels. Death always chooses a shining mark, and this was no exception. He was one of the most popular youths in the city, and the pride and pet of the family. He was the youngest child of the afflicted and almost heart broken parents, and the sympathies of the entire community are with them. The funeral which takes place at ten o'clock to-day will be largely attended. Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain – November 20, 1879 - Funeral of Grant Chilcott. One of the largest funerals ever witnessed in Pueblo was that of Master Grant Chilcott yesterday. Every available livery team, hack and express wagon in the city was brought into requisition and could not carry half of the people who assembled at the residence of Hon. Geo. M. Chilcott, at ten o'clock, to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed youth, the hope and pride of the family of our honored townsman. The funeral services were conducted in a very impressive manner by Rev. John A. Edmondson, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The young man had been a member of the M. E. Sunday school and the pastor feelingly alluded to his uniform good conduct and moral deport-who. The services were opened by singing, after which the pastor read the 90th psalm, this was followed by prayer, after which he read a portion of the 15th chapter of the First Corinthians, which was followed by singing, when Mr. Edmonson announced for his text the first, second and third verses of the 14th chapter of the Gospel of St. John. He spoke for a brief period to the weeping friends and their neighbors in a most feeling and eloquent manner, admonishing all, both young and old, to prepare for the approach of the great destroyer, Death, by living upright, sober and virtuous lives. A last view of the loved one was taken by relatives and friends at the conclusion of the discourse, and the pall bearers, six in number, conveyed the remains to the hearse. A beautiful rosewood casket, adorned with a wreath of rare flowers, contained the mortal remains of him who was loved by all that knew him. The following young gentlemen acted as pall bearers: Mr. Horace Gast, Mr. Lee Cochrane, Mr. Charles Shaffner, Mr. Clarence Patterson, Mr. Arnold Cramer and Mr. Speed Wilson.

Pueblo Chieftain - November 20, 1879 - Much regret is felt by the public school children at the death of Master Grant Chilcott, and the members of his class will attend the funeral today in a body. Pueblo Chieftain - November 20, 1879 - Death of Grant Chilcott - It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of Grant Chilcott, on of the brightest, most promising youths of our city. He was taken sick two weeks ago last Saturday with a fever, he recovered from this sufficiently to come down town the forepart of last week. He took cold and a relapse set in from which he died on Sunday at half-past four o'clock. The immediate cause of his death was inflammation of the bowels. Death always chooses a shining mark, and this was no exception. He was one of the most popular youths in the city, and the pride and pet of the family. He was the youngest child of the afflicted and almost heart broken parents and the sympathies of the entire community are with them. The funeral which takes place at ten o'clock today will be largely attended. Pueblo Chieftain - November 20, 1879 - Funeral of Grant Chilcott. One of the largest funerals ever witnessed in Pueblo was that of Master Grant Chilcott yesterday. Every available livery team, hack and express wagon in the city was brought into requisition and could not carry half of the people who assembled at the residence of Hon. Geo. M. Chilcott, at ten o'clock, to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed youth, the hope and pride of the family of our honored townsman. Te funeral services were conducted in a very impressive manner by Rev. John A. Edmondson, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The young man has been a member of the M. E. Sunday school and the pastor feelingly alluded to his uniform good conduct and moral deportment. The services were opened by singing, after which the pastor read the 90th psalm, this was followed by prayer, after which he read a portion of the 15th chapter of the First Corinthians, which was followed by singing, when Mr. Edmundson announced for his text the first, second and third verses of the 14th chapter of the Gospel of St. John. He spoke for a brief period to the weeping friends and their neighbors in a most feeling and eloquent manner, admonishing all, both young and old, to prepare for the approach of the great destroyer, Death, by living upright, sober and virtuous lives. A last view of the loved one was taken by relatives and friends at the conclusion of the discourse, and the pall bearers, six in number, conveyed the remains to the hearse.

Chilcott, Jenny
Jenny Cox Chilcott - The Colorado Chieftain - December 29, 1887 - Mrs. George M. Chilcott - The Death of One of Colorado's Best and Noblest Women - About a year ago at this time Pueblo was mourning the death of one of her most valued citizens.  Today the holiday delights are tinged with a deep grief for the loss of one of the noblest Christian women that ever honored our city or adorned a Colorado home. At 3:40 p.m. yesterday occurred the death of Jenny Cox Chilcott, aged fifty-seven years.  She had been afflicted with dyspeptic trouble, supposed to be cancer of the stomach, for about six months.  It caused much suffering, and for much of the time she was unable to swallow and retain anything.  In August her husband traveled with her to various parts of the east and into Canada, and visited the noted summer resorts, but to no purpose.  The trip did her no good, and she returned an invalid.  Various physicians were employed, but her ailment was beyond medical skill.  Up to a day or two ago Mrs. Chilcott seemed to retain a hope of ultimate recovery.  Yesterday, however, she realized fully that she must die.  Consciousness remained clear and reason unclouded to the last moment.  The dying Christian woman faced the last dread hour with clear faith, and passed away without a struggle.  The funeral is to be held at the Main Street Methodist Church, Tuesday at 2 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. W.C. Madison. Jenny Cox was born in Logan County, Kentucky, December 7, 1830.  Her parents are John and Lydia Cox, both living, near the age of 80, 30 miles west of this city.  They have been sent for, and if able to attend will be present at the funeral of their daughter.  They are well known as "Gran" and "Daddy" Cox. When Miss Cox was a young girl, her parents went to Macoupin County, Illinois.  Afterward they removed to Jefferson County, Iowa, near the town of Fairfield, the home of Senator Wilson, with whom Mr. Chilcott read law.  Mr. Chilcott and Miss Cox were married there in the year 1850, and lived there some years, Mr. Chilcott being the sheriff of Jefferson County after his marriage.  They removed to Burt County, Nebraska, known as the home of the Folsoms, of which family the wife of the President is a member.  Mr. Chilcott represented the county in the Nebraska legislature in 1856. In 1860 the Chilcotts removed to Pueblo, which has since been their home.  Mrs. Chilcott went to Washington with her husband when he was a Senator, though she remained here when he was in the House of Representatives.  She has been the mother of four children, three of whom are living (including Clay and Scott).  She will be buried by the side of her youngest child, Grant, in the Masonic cemetery. Mrs. Chilcott was a faithful and devoted member of the Methodist Church, for whom interest she has labored and planned; and in the advancement of which she has contributed of her means and talents.  As a member of the Ladies' Aid Society of the church she has been an efficient helper.  Mrs. Chilcott was not one of those Christians who hope to "earn" their way into the kingdom of God, either by work or by contributions.  Her labors for benevolent and religious organizations were prompted by the truest principle.  A most circumspect, consistent Christian, undemonstrative, gentle to all and at all times, her life was a continual lesson and example to all who knew her.  There are many stalwart men who are bold in battle, there are many who are undaunted by alarm or peril, and who can face sudden danger proudly, yet he that overcometh is greater than he that taketh a city; and the bravest man or woman is the one of whom, after half a century of struggle with the pains and self-denials of the world, the heights and depths of human life, the ills and joys of pioneer experience in the far west, it can be said, "We knew of naught but good."

Jesus was born in a stable in the city of Bethlehem, Judea. He is survived by His mother Mary, His faithful Apostles, numerous disciples and many followers.

Up until the time of His death, Jesus was teaching and sharing the Good News, healing the sick, touching the lonely, feeding the hungry, and helping the poor. Jesus was most noted for telling parables about His Father's Kingdom and performing miracles, such as feeding over 5,000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish, and healing a man who was born blind. On the day before His death, He held a Last Supper celebrating the Passover Feast, at which He foretold His death. The body was quickly buried in a stone grave, which was donated by Joseph of Arimathea, a loyal friend of the family. By order of Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb.

Memorial contributions to Veterans Memorial Cemetery of Western Colorado, Groundskeeping Fund, 2830 Road D, Grand Junction 81501. Grand Junction Daily Sentinel - April 2003 – Robert "Bob" Edward Clark – July 23, 1928 to April 13, 2003 – Bob's journey began in Colorado. He was born to John Wesley and Minnie (Fennell) Clark on July 23, 1928. He attended school in Mesa County and Wilmington, Calif. Bob was a very patriotic man. He joined the U. S. Army in 1948, and was on an anti-tank gun crew. He was honorably discharged in March, 1948, with a WW II Victory medal and Army of Occupation medal. Bob was also a typesetter for The Daily Sentinel for many years. On August 23, 1948, he married Dolly Armerette Inskeep. Together they had four daughters: Tanna (Ted) Carrico, Vikki (Jerry) Hicks, Kim (Elm) Birr, all of Grand Junction, and Kathi (Dan) Apted of Anchorage, Alaska. Bob was definitely a man's man. He could have lived in a log cabin, that would have been his dream. He loved camping, hunting, fishing, prospecting for gold, telling ghost stories, and pulling pranks. His best adventure was when he went to Alaska and Canada for six months and panned for gold. Unknown to him (we think), he had jumped someone's claim. The Royal Canadian Mounties really frowned on that. We thought dad might be gone for longer than six months, but he was able to talk his way out of trouble. Unfortunately, he lost quite a bit of gold. He then decided that fishing and hunting were better hobbies to pursue. In 1972, he moved his family "North to Alaska" where he had the time of his life. They lived in a Quonset hut and had moose in the yard. Life couldn't get any better for him. Two years after Dolly passed away, he met and married Ida Wilkenson. Ida told him that his life would never be boring with her. She was right. Together they owned a commercial fishing boat and used it every chance they got. Life was good. Bob and Ida also converted a PT boat into a fishing boat. He really enjoyed working on that boat. After a few years they sold the boats, and decided to do some traveling. They had more air miles than they could count. Bob and Ida made sure that they divided their time equally between their combined families. They spent six months in Grand Junction and six months in Anchorage. Bob really enjoyed his family, especially the 13 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. His face would light up every time one of them walked into the room. Bob always talked about finding the iron door with the gold bricks behind it. The last few years of his life, he became more spiritual. He wanted his Bible with him at all times. In Revelations, it tells about the New Jerusalem being the Heavenly City and in Revelations 21:21 the twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each individual gate was of one pearl and the street of the city was pure gold – like transparent glass. Eureka, he found it! We love and miss you Dad. Other survivors include his three sisters, Audrey Grant, Dorothey Grant, and Gertrude Mercer, all of Grand Junction. Bob was preceded in death by two sisters, Lois and Margaret; and one brother, Jack. A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 18th, at Memorial Gardens in Grand Junction. Pastor Dan Hooper officiating.

Clark, Silas J.
Silas J. Clark - Pueblo Chieftain - January 7, 1904 - Founder of Clark's Well Dies at Ripe Old Age - Pueblo Pioneer Who Bored First Artesian - Silas J. Clark, one of the oldest pioneers of Pueblo, died at his home, 17 Block U, at 9 o'clock last night after a continued illness of a complication of diseases. He was 87 years, 7 months and 29 days of age at the time of his death. For the past 24 years he has been prominently identified with the upbuilding of Pueblo and was considered one of the principal factors in the city's growth. Silas J. Clark was born in Union Village, Washington County, New York, May 7, 1816. He was of Puritan Scotch decent and many of his ancestors stepped foot on American soil from the deck of the Mayflower. During his earlier years he removed with his parents to Detroit and spent the greater part of his boyhood days there and in Chicago, both then being little more than villages. At the age of 29 years he was married to Miss Lorene Stebbins, of Mosiertown, Pa. From his early youth Mr. Clark showed exceptional business proclivities and each one of his business dealings was pushed to completion with great sagacity. During his earlier years he engaged successfully in the dry goods business, but finally entered the oil fields of Pennsylvania, where his dealings were practically all brought to a successful climax. In 1873 he came west and engaged in the mining business in Clear Creek County where he secured some of the most valuable mining properties in the state. The following year he moved his family to Denver and for six years prosecuted his mining deals from that point. But the oil fever was so strong in his veins that it was not long before he began to look around for an oil location. His experience in the oil fields of Pennsylvania led him to believe that oil existed in this country and he decided to sink a well. Pueblo, which was then a town of about 6,000 or 7,000 inhabitants, was chosen as the proper location and he began drilling on the site of the now famous Clark wells. This was during the latter part of the year 1879 and about the first of January 1880 water was struck in the well. This, however, was not what he wanted and he kept sinking the drill to such a depth that he finally discovered that there was no oil to be found there. This was the first artesian well drilled west of the Missouri river. The discovery that the water contained medicinal properties was by accident. One of the drillers working on the well was one day seized with a severe kidney trouble and for several days he suffered greatly from this disease. When the water was struck, the man who was afflicted with the kidney trouble began drinking it, though the others did not, as they said it was not palatable. After drinking the water continually for a short time the man with the kidney trouble was entirely cured. Some of the other drillers became afflicted with disorders of some kind or other, and they, too, began drinking the water with the result that they were also cured. This led Mr. Clark to investigate the ingredients of the water and he finally discovered that it was highly charged with mineral and medicinal properties. The first bath house on the site where the large and commodious sanitarium now stands was built about June 1, 1880. It was patronized by the residents of the city, but not very extensively. In 1884 the old bath house was remodeled and steam fixtures were put in. The well then became known throughout the state and was visited by many afflicted with rheumatism and other diseases of the system and finally became known far and near as the Mecca for all troubled with rheumatism, kidney trouble and various other diseases. The well is now famous throughout the west, and a few years ago a large modern sanitarium was built. About six years ago, being old and rather broken in health, Mr. Clark decided to sell the well and retire from active business life. C K Wolfe bought a half interest and the son of Mr. Clark, 0. E. Clark, are now the proprietors of the well and sanitarium. Mr. Clark is survived by three living children, all living in Pueblo; Mrs. Florence L. Underhill, living at 67 Block, O. R Clark, 218 West Abriendo avenue and Silas Clark Jr., of 17 Block U. No funeral arrangements have been made as yet. In remembrance our founder, who recognized the value of our precious water, we reprint his obituary as it appeared in the Pueblo Chieftain January 7, 1904.
