Obituary listed World Independent, April 13, 1953, Page 8.] Underwood, W. L. W. L. Underwood - Aspen Daily Chronicle. November 7, 1890 - Will Be Hanged To-Day - Canon City, Nov. 6 - Sometime tomorrow Noverto Griego, the Mexican who murdered W. S. Underwood at Trinidad on the third day of last June, will be executed in the penitentiary at this place. He is the first to be executed under the new law which provides that such sentences shall be executed inside the wall of the state penitentiary and shall be done in private, and fixing a penalty to be imposed upon any paper within the state publishing an account of the execution other than the simple announcement of the fact. The men who have been sentenced under the new law are Medly, Savage, Tyson, Holmes and Griego. The three first named, by technicalities in the law, have escaped the sentence and Holmes has been granted a new trial. Griego is a young man and takes his sentence hard. He cannot understand why he cannot escape the sentence, while so many others have done so before him. An appeal was made to the governor to commute the sentence to life imprisonment, but that official has refused absolutely to interfere. An Atrocious Crime - Denver, Nov. 6 - The crime for which the Mexican will hang is a most atrocious one. It is for the murder of W. L. Underwood, one of Trinidad's oldest and most respected citizens. It occurred during the evening of the 4th of last June. Underwood conducted a fairly lucrative grocery business in the Mexican portion of the town and was generally regarded as extremely well to do. His supposed riches excited the cupidity of Noverto and Prisciliano Griego, brothers, and a colored man named Jones, and a plan was hatched to rob him. In order to carry out their designs it became necessary to use violence, which resulted in the murder. The discovery of the crime was made several hours later by an old Mexican woman entering the store to make a purchase. For two days the police were hopelessly baffled in their attempt to obtain even a clue to the murderer, when, almost despairing, an important communication was made by a Mexican woman. On the eve of the murder she had seen two Mexicans, the Griego brothers, loitering in the vicinity of Underwood's premises, and later had observed them washing their hands in an adjoining creek. Acting upon this information the police promptly arrested the two suspected Mexicans. A search of their house resulted in unearthing a quantity of blood-stained clothing on which blood marks were quite visible. Notwithstanding such convincing proof, the Griegos stolidly denied any knowledge of or complicity in the crime, but informed the police that suspicion pointed to one Jones, a colored man of their acquaintance. He, too, was promptly arrested and the trio brought to a speedy trial. It resulted disastrously to all concerned. Although the evidence was purely circumstantial, it was of such a positive nature that no one of the perpetrators of the Underwood murder escaped. Noverto Griego, who hacked the old man with a hammer from the rear while his brother engaged him in conversation, was found guilty of murder in the first degree. Judge Gunter named the week of November third as the time upon which he shall expiate the penalty of his crime upon the gallows. Prisciliano Griego and his brother were each sentenced to life imprisonment and are wearing the stripes in the Canon City penitentiary.Colorado Public Defender - November 8, 1890 Noverto Griego, Trinidad (Las Animas County). H-W. Hanging/Broken neck. Griego (Mexican) was convicted of murdering W. L. Underwood, a merchant who ran a grocery store that catered to the Hispanic community. Underwood's killer hit him on the back of his head with a hammer while he worked at the store. His hand clutched a piece of paper, which indicated that his last sale had been to someone named "Griego." Upon discovering his body the next morning, the authorities also found that Underwood's jewelry, as well as all the cash in the store, had been stolen. A second participant in the crimes, an African-American named George Upton (a.k.a. John Jones), received a sentence of life imprisonment, rather than death, in exchange for testifying against Griego. Both men confessed to their crimes. The execution was the first under state authority at the prison in Caρon City. The public did not know exact time of Griego's execution in advance or the name of the executioner, and no representatives from the press were permitted to witness it. Unfug, August T. August T.

Some remains of a wide strip of gold lace remain attached to the cloth, and also some elaborate ornaments of buffalo hair. The deceased was evidently a "big Injun" in his lifetime, had probably been buried in the arroya and the earth washed from above him, exposing his bones and bringing on a premature resurrection. Unknown, Indian Woman Unknown Indian Woman Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain December 20, 1877 Small Pox Among the Utes and Apaches How the Indians Treat their Sick A Deserted Squaw Stabs Herself with a Pair of Sheep Shears From Hon. George M. Chilcott, who has just returned from an extended trip to New Mexico, we obtain the following horrible story illustrative of life among the Indians: About the first of November last Old Kaneache, the Ute chief, accompanied by a number of Apache squaws and children, encamped on the ranch of Mr. Thomas O. Boggs, on the Tramperos Creek, in New Mexico. As the small pox has been killing hundreds of Indians and Mexicans in that region, Mr. Boggs felt suspicious that there might be some cases among this band, but on being questioned the Indians denied the presence of the disease amongst them. In about a week after the arrival of the party, a squaw, the mother of two children, was taken with the disease. This caused the old chief and his family to leave suddenly for the hills, leaving the squaws and children to take care of themselves, but carrying with them a three months old child of the sick squaw, and it is supposed, killed it, as they said they left it among the rocks, and it was seen no more. About nine days afterwards the sick woman died, and her mother, grandmother of the remaining child, took the little one with her and fled to the hills, leaving the dead squaw, tepee, robes and blankets and taking up her abode about half a mile from Mr. Boggs' house. That gentleman had the dead squaw buried, and the tepee and other property remain where they were left. The old squaw and the child were provided with food by Mr. Boggs, and seemed perfectly happy. They came to the creek every day for water, until last Monday a week, when they failed to appear. On the Wednesday following persons at Mr. Boggs' house heard as they supposed, the child making a noise. Mr. Charles Boggs went to search for the squaw and child, and after a long hunt succeeded in finding a hut in the timber where they had been living. A horrible sight met his view upon his arrival; the old woman lay dead and cold covered with blood. She had taken half of a pair of sheep shears and driven it into heart. The little child was sitting beside the dead squaw, talking to her in the Indian language and vainly endeavoring to make her get up. The old woman, however, was past awakening, and the little one's grief seemed inconsolable. All of the persons at the house hastened to the scene and several of them vainly endeavored to coax the child away from the dead body of its grandmother, but without success. The little one could not understand that its natural protector was beyond rendering it any aid, and with brute instinct was loath to leave. Mr. Boggs kindly took the child and it then walked to his house. The little unfortunate's clothing was covered with blood, and on stripping it its new protectors found a deep gash directly over the heart, where the old squaw had evidently plunged the blade of the shears with the intention of taking the little one's life as well as her own. The murderess had failed to strike the child's heart, but it was thought to be bleeding internally and it is probably dead by this time. Mr. Chilcott says that the little Indian, covered with blood, and sticking closely to its dead grandmother, having been without food for forty-eight hours, was the most horrible sight he ever witnessed. There was no appearance of small pox about the dead woman or child, and it is more than probable that the squaw, heart-broken at being thus deserted and fearing death by small pox or starvation, put an end to her troubles in this world as above related. The noble-hearted savage when any of his relatives is attacked by small pox immediately deserts them. Father, mother, wife, sister, brother or child it makes no difference, as soon as the dread disease appears the unfortunate victim is deserted by his relatives and allowed to die either by small pox or exposure and starvation. Hundreds of them, we are informed, have died during the present epidemic and many more are likely to follow.

Information was brought to the coroner on Saturday and he proceeded to the spot and held an inquest. From the evidence we are able to glean the following: The body was that of a medium-sized, heavily built man, 35 or 40 years of age, supposed to have been an American. Sandy moustache, no front teeth, no marks of violence about him. Has on a white shirt and dark cassimere suit. Had on a pair of good box-toed shoes, but no stockings, neither could any hat be found. The only articles on his person were 50 cents in silver and a small blank memorandum book. The jury rendered a verdict that he was unknown and came to his death from causes unknown to them. Many incline to the belief that he was insane and died from exposure; others that he was seized with a fit while in the act of stooping in the creek for a drink and drowned. The latter is most likely the case, as the body was found partly in the water. The remains were interred on Sunday near where found.

Unknown, Male Unknown Man - Pueblo Chieftain - November 30, 2006 - Human remains those of male in his early 50s - An autopsy conducted Wednesday on an unidentified body found east of Pueblo on Saturday revealed no signs of trauma that would explain how the person died. However, the autopsy did uncover some clues. Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer said the deceased person is a man, most likely in his early 50s. The deceased man has not been positively identified, Kramer said. The investigation by the Pueblo County Sheriff's Department and the coroner's office into the man's identity remains active. Because of the body's advanced state of decay, fingerprints could not be lifted. Hikers found the badly decomposed body at 4:30 p.m. Saturday in a secluded area north of the highway in the 55000 block of U.S. 50 East. Kramer estimated the man had been deceased for six to 12 weeks before he was found. Personal effects found along with the skeleton suggest the deceased man may have been a transient. Unknown, Male Unknown Man Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain September 7, 1876 Judge Lynch Reported Hanging of Three Mexicans A report reached this city last night that three Mexicans had been hanged by a party of cow boys who were engaged on a round-up on Horse Creek, in Bent county, about fifty-five miles east of Pueblo. The circumstances of the case as stated to our reporter are as follows: It seems that a party of cow boys came suddenly upon four Mexicans who had just shot and commenced to skin a steer. Thinking that perhaps the Mexicans had stolen the animal the cow boys started towards them to examine into the matter, and were fired on with guns by the Mexicans. Having no arms but six-shooters the cow boys went off and hunted up reinforcements, and returning captured three of the Mexicans and immediately hanged them. The fourth Mexican escaped. It was afterwards discovered that the animal was a maverick and the Mexicans would not have been disturbed had they not fired upon the white men without cause. The hanging is said to have taken place on Wednesday or Thursday last.

Unknown, Male Unknown Man Pueblo Colorado Weekly Chieftain August 24, 1876 Last Friday, says the Leader, Coroner Reedy, upon information of the finding of the body of a colored man on Caddo creek, repaired thither with a jury and held an inquest. Kit Carson Jr., who was out looking for cattle, and found the body, was the only witness examined. He could give no further information. There were no marks of violence on the body. The man's age was from eighteen to twenty years. It is probably he was either insane, and wandering away from the settlements starved to death; possibly he may have lost his way, or died of disease. The place he was found is twenty miles from a house. Unknown, Male Unknown Man Pueblo Star Journal October 17, 1904 Mangled By Train Colorado Springs, October 17. The body of an unknown man was found lying in the center of the Denver & Rio Grande track at Rosewell about 7 o'clock last evening. He was either struck or fell under the train. The opinion of those at the scene was he was a tramp. He was apparently about middle age and had a heavy dark mustache. The body was found by the yardmaster at Rosewell. Coroner Law is investigating. The only possible means of identifying the man is through a card which bore the name and address "David Peyton, St. John's, Kansas". But St. John's was crossed out and Rocky Ford substituted. Two fingers on his left hand were missing and had evidently been off for several years. Both legs were cut off and the body had been dragged about fifty feet northward. The body was buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Potters Field. Unknown, Male Unknown Man Pueblo Colorado Daily Chieftain December 10, 1874 Dead Men's Bones Murder Will Out Several days since we noticed the discovery of a human skeleton by the graders at work on the Pueblo & Salt Lake railroad, on the Gilmore ranch, down the Arkansas, formerly owned by the notorious John M. Branaman, who departed from this country for Arizona in 1868. We remember having heard rumors of the mysterious disappearance of a man sometime in 1867, in that locality, and have hunted up as nearly as possible the facts in the case, which are as follows: About the time mentioned, a number of horses had been stolen from parties along the Fontaine, and suspicion fell upon the party who at that time stayed at the ranch above mentioned, among whom were a number of Americans and Mexicans engaged in cutting wood for the government posts. A party of men from the Fontaine had been following the track of some stolen horses, had traced it to this ranch and being unable to ascertain any satisfaction had returned home. A short time afterwards a gentleman residing in the neighborhood met a young man who said he was going to Branaman's ranch to work. "Don't you know that's a rough place to live," asked the neighbor. "Yes," was the reply, "but I think I can stand it." Our informant noticed the man and his horse particularly, and this was the last time the stranger was ever seen alive. A short time afterwards some of the party from the Fontaine came in search of the stranger, who, they said, had been sent as a detective to find out something about the horse stealing. They could discover nothing about him, but found his horse on the prairie near by. It is now supposed that the suspected parties found out the detective's errand, and killed him and buried him. That the deceased was buried without a coffin is evident from the fact that no remains of one were found when the skeleton was exhumed. Those posted on the doings of those days say that digging would bring to light more dead men's bones in that locality.

Kraft shot and killed a man in Washington Gulch, in self-defense, as I am informed. We hear different versions of the affair, and our version is that Mr. Kraft killed the man to prevent himself from being robbed and murdered. Mr. Kraft gave himself up to the authorities of this county, and he is now at Granite awaiting investigation of the affair. Washington Gulch is on the western slope, one hundred miles west from Granite, towards Utah, but yet in Lake county, as that county extends to Utah.

Unknown, Train Robber Albuquerque Morning Journal - September 2, 1910 - Bandit Slain by Engineer Leadville - As the result of an attempted train robbery on the Colorado Midland railway between Divide and Florissant early this morning, one robber is dead, Engineer Stewart shot in the leg, and an unknown tramp dangerously injured. Two robbers made their escape but a posse organized by Sheriff Von Puhl has taken the trail. When the Midland westbound number 3, in charge of Conductor Wesley Steele reached Divide, one of the robbers climbed on the tender and when the train reached Mile Post 32, a short distance beyond covered Engineer Stewart with a revolver. The train had stopped at this point to meet number 4 eastbound. The robbers' bullet struck Stewart in the leg. Stewart promptly returned the fire killing the man. At this moment, the other bandit sent a fusillade of bullets into the door of the express car but the express messenger refused to open the door. By this time the train crew opened fire on the robbers and they immediately fled in the darkness. An unknown man who was stealing a ride on number 3 was accidentally shot by the train porter and seriously hurt. Engineer Stewart and the injured tramp were both taken to Colorado Springs. Sheriff Von Puhl of Cripple Creek has ordered his deputies in pursuit. The attempted hold up and the prompt resistance of the train crew all took place so quickly that the passengers of number 3 hardly realized what had occurred. Number 3 carries the Wells Fargo express but the robbers obtained nothing. The body of the dead robber was left at Bridge Number 34 close to where the attempted robbery occurred to await the coroner's arrival from Cripple Creek.

This morning's coach brings the following intelligence: On Tuesday, the day of election at Woodbury's station, about twenty-five miles north of Pueblo, during the election, a man named Texas Bill, better known by the name of Wild Bill, approached, commencing to fire deliberately, his revolver at Wm. Venadort. After having discharged several shots he succeeded in killing the horse from under Mr. Venadort. An attempt was made to arrest Bill. He fled firing continually at his pursuers until when fording the creek his ammunition got wet and the party succeeded in capturing the villain. On yesterday while the authorities were conveying him to Colorado City, when within about four miles of the city, a shot proceeded from the bushes, killing the captive instantly, where he lay this morning yet as the coach and passengers passed. The cause of the difficulty, as best we can learn, seems to have grown out of some words between the parties of the Fourth of July last. Texas Bill was well known in these parts as a desperado, and his loss is not mourned.
