Elliott, Cecil Cecil Elliott Pueblo Chieftain June 11, 1918 3 Killed in Terrible Auto-Passenger Train Collision As a result of one of the worst grade crossing accidents that ever happened in Pueblo, two persons were killed outright, a third person died several hours later, and a fourth was seriously injured. A fifth person, Theodore Marshall, escaped by jumping when he saw that a collision between the passenger train in the automobile was about to occur. The dead are Mr. and Mrs. George Howard Farrar, colored, aged about 35 years, and Cecil, the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry G. Elliott, colored, 1815 W. 17th St., George H. Farrar, 38, husband of the dead woman, was removed to Minnequa Hospital by the United Undertaking Co. ambulance in a dying condition. He suffered dangerous injuries to the head. He has never resume consciousness since the coalition, and his death occurred at about 11:20 o'clock. Mrs. Henry G. Elliott, mother of the boy who was instantly killed, was also removed to Minnequa Hospital, the Davis & Vories ambulance making an emergency run to the scene, and from there to the hospital with the injured woman. Her condition is said to be such as to warrant the belief that she will recover. Mrs. Elliott suffered a fracture of the left wrist and bruises and contusions on almost her entire body. She was in an unconscious condition for a short time following the collision but recovered consciousness in a few minutes. She was suffering great pain when taken to the hospital. Cecil Elliott, the boy, was thrown clear of the wrecked automobile and landed on his head on a rock approximately 90 feet from the point where the car was struck. His brains were dashed out upon the ground and the little body lay crumpled in a pool of blood. Death was probably instantaneous. The horribly dismembered body of Mrs. Farrar was picked up at a point almost 300 feet down the track from the point at which the car was hit. The head was almost completely severed from the trunk, and the torso was so horribly mangled and dismembered as to bear not the faintest resemblance to a human form. The woman's left limb, torn out at the hip, was hurled some twenty feet beyond the remainder of the body, where it was found on the railroad embankment. Parts of the wrecked automobile were strewn over an area of almost an acre, and clothing, blood, and parts of the bodies lay strewn alongside the track for a distance of nearly 300 feet from the point where the accident occurred. The scene of the accident is the grade crossing of the Santa Fe Railroad, about 100 feet west of the intersection of 17th St. and Hallack Avenue. The train was a Santa Fe passenger train No. 610 from Denver, due to arrive at the Union Depot at 8: 10 p.m. The time of the accident, as near as can be learned, was about 8:0 3 p.m. The train, composed of the cars, in charge of crew composed of Engineer H. E. Cox of La Junta, Fireman J. J. Maxwell of Denver, and Conductor C. J. Hinshaw, Denver, was coming down the long grade toward the city at a speed said by Fireman Maxwell to have been about 30 to 35 miles an hour. There is no flagman at this crossing, no warning bells or signals of any kind, and witnesses of the accident disagree as to whether or not the engineer sounded the whistle as he approached the crossing. The automobile, a seven-passenger Studebaker belonging to Farrar, had reached a point squarely in the middle of the railroad track when it was struck by the great engine of the passenger train. The blow was terrific as is evidenced by the position and the condition of the wrecked automobile and by the condition of the bodies of the dead and injured. The train is said to have run past the spot nearly an eighth of a mile before it was stopped and backed up to the point where the body of Mrs. Farrar lay alongside the tracks. Word was telephoned to Sgt. Gar McCafferty of the Police Department at police headquarters, who promptly directed that aid be rushed to the scene. The ambulance of the United Undertaking Co. was dispatched by Santa Fe men in the city and was the first to reach the scene. It was closely followed by that of Davis-Vories and of the McCarthy and of McMinn. The injured woman was taken in the Davis-Vories ambulance and Farrar was taken in the United ambulance. Both patients were removed to Minnequa hospital. The miraculous escape of Theodore Marshall from the fate which befell the others in the party is told by Marshall in his own words as follows: "Mrs. Elliott and Mrs. Farrar were in the front seat of the car. Mrs. Elliott was driving the car, and Mrs. Farrar was sitting beside her teaching her how to handle a car. We had just been in Bessemer where my wife got out of the car at our home. Had she remained in the car she would probably have shared the fate of the others. It had not been 15 minutes since we had left my house till the accident happened. Farrar and I were on the little auxiliary seats just back of the front seat, and the little boy (Cecil Elliott, killed) was alone in the big rear seat. Just as we reached the approach to the crossing Mrs. Elliott slowed down the car, following Mrs. Farrar's instructions as to how to handle a car on a hill or grade. Just at that instant I saw the big train looming up right in front of us. I yelled, and somehow or other, I cannot tell you just how, I got out of the car on the side toward the approaching train. The automobile was moving west along 17th St. and the train was coming from the north. I was in the seat nearest the train. I fell out or jumped out, and just then I heard the crash." Marshall escaped without a scratch. The train was held at the spot for nearly an hour after the accident while the crew assisted as best they could to care for the living and the dead. Sheets from the sleeping car were laid over the mangled forms of the victims, and other sheets and cloths were torn up to make bandages for the living. First aid was rendered pending the arrival of physicians from the city. Chief of Police J. M. Daly, Chauffeur McDonald, Detective Baty, and Undersheriff Grady went to the scene and rendered assistance to the coroner's office in the gathering of the evidence of the witnesses, and in the handling of a crowd of nearly 1,000 people who had been drawn to the spot by news of the wreck. Curiosity seekers were in the crowd, and it became necessary for the police to clear the grounds of the great crowd which had gathered. Coroner Ray Taylor and Deputy Coroner Ray Davis were promptly on the scene and ordered the removal of the bodies to the Davis & Vories morgue pending the inquest, the time of which is to be announced later. Farrar and his wife are said to have become very wealthy through the sale of some oil lands in the neighborhood of Muskogee, Okla. They came to Pueblo about one month ago and had been visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Kelly, 1531 Berkeley Ave. They have visited in Pueblo on numerous occasions and were quite well-known to many people. Mrs. Farrar is said to have been a full blood Creek Indian woman. Her oil lands brought the couple wealth. Pueblo Chieftain June 13, 1918 The body of Cecil, the eight-year-old son of Henry Elliott, who was killed in the automobile accident, June 10, was forwarded by Davis & Vories to Emporia, Kan., last evening, accompanied by the father. Pueblo Chieftain June 13, 1918 Coroner's Jury Investigates Railroad Crossing Accident An inquest over the body of Mrs. Lizzie Farrar, one of the three victims killed Monday afternoon at the Santa Fe Crossing on 17th St., was held yesterday afternoon at the Davis & Vories Undertaking Parlors. Coroner Ray Taylor presided and an inquiry into the death of the woman was made by a coroner's jury of six. The inquest, while directed to an investigation of Mrs. Farrar, also included the investigation of the death of her husband and of Cecil Elliott, 13-year-old boy who was killed in the same accident when the Farrar auto and a Santa Fe passenger train collided at the crossing. Stories of the accident as told by witnesses indicated that the auto was approaching from the east and the train was coming south. The fender of the engine hit the center of the motor of the auto. The auto was reduced to a complete wreck. The engineer on the engine stated that he did not see the auto until after the collision occurred. His firemen saw the danger just before the auto was struck and called to the engineer to stop. The air emergency brakes were applied and the train came to a stop, but not until it had run several hundred yards. The train crew swore the engine had whistled for the crossing, and that the bell was ringing. Other witnesses testify that the whistle was not sounded for the crossing, and that the bell was not ringing. Theodore Marshall, who was the only person in the wrecked auto to escape serious injury or death, stated that none of the occupants of the auto saw the train until the auto and the engine were only a few feet apart, and both approaching the crossing. He stated that he had been standing in the auto watching the driver, Mrs. Elliott, mother of the dead boy, change the gears and that when he saw the engine he had barely time to jump from the auto. He said that the auto was traveling slowly. A mechanic from a local garage testified that he had brought the wrecked auto to the garage and that the gear was in low when the wreck occurred, indicating that the auto was traveling slowly. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that the death of Mrs. Farrar was due to the collision of the auto and the train, that it was a result of an accident, and that the accident was not brought about through criminal intent. The inquest lasted two hours and a number of witnesses were closely questioned by the coroner and investigator French of the District Attorney's Office.

Epler, Clarence Clarence Epler Pueblo Chieftain March 27, 1918 Hundreds Join in Search for Boy Missing Since Sunday With approximately 100 farmers joining in the search and the entire county for 50 miles around notified of the disappearance Sunday afternoon of the four-year-old son of Mrs. Epler of the Davis and McDaniel ranch at Nepesta, no trace of the boy had been found at a late hour last night. The boy and his mother left farmhouse at the ranch to search for eggs late Sunday afternoon the boy was searching in the grass near the Oxford ditch and Mrs. Epler was in the corral a few rods distant. Fifteen minutes later the mother looked for the boy and he had disappeared. And ineffectual search led to the conclusion that the baby had fallen in the Oxford ditch. An alarm was set out and the water in the ditch was shut off. A dozen men made a thorough search of the ditch but were unable to find the boy's body. Monday a large number of residents of the Nepesta district joined in the search and the Highline ditch was shut off and a search made. It is hoped that the child may have wandered to some farmhouse in the Nepesta district, and any person having any information which will shed light on the disappearance of the little boy is requested to notify J. W. McDaniel, telephone Fowler 19J11. The search is being continued under the possibility that the child may have met with an accident or may have been kidnapped and mistreated. The theory is also advanced that he may have wandered quite a distance away from the farm home and became lost although this theory is rapidly being eliminated, as the baby could hardly have gotten far enough away in the short time that elapsed between his disappearance in the beginning of the search, unless he was forcibly carried away or else fell into an irrigation ditch. The fruitless search of all nearby irrigation ditches leads to the belief that the child was not drowned. Pueblo Chieftain March 29, 1918 Body of Missing Nepesta Child Found in Siphon of Oxford Ditch A four days' search by a number of people at Nepesta, 30 miles east of Pueblo, resulted in the recovery yesterday of the dead body of Clarence, the four-year-old son of Mrs. Hannah Epler, a resident of Nepesta from the big siphon of the Oxford ditch. The little boy wandered away from his mother last Sunday afternoon while the mother was busy gathering eggs. He had been gone but a few minutes when his mother called him. Getting no response the terrified woman began a search for her little child. When he could not be found anywhere about the premises the distracted mother called for help to locate the missing boy. The search which began last Sunday ended about noon yesterday with the recovery of the little body taken from the big siphon of the Oxford ditch workflows under a ravine through a great tube or siphon. This siphon or tube is six feet in diameter and 1800 feet in length. The flow of water in the ditch was cut off and the immense siphon was drained. Then a party of searchers entered the siphon and the body the child was recovered about 200 feet from the east end of the tube, at a point some four miles removed from the place where it is supposed the lad fell into the irrigation canal. The body of the boy was taken to the home of J. W. McDaniel at which place Mrs. Epler resides. From there it was conveyed to Fowler where the funeral arrangements were made. The little boy was last seen near a barn on the McDaniel farm. Nearby is the Oxford irrigation canal. It is supposed that he ventured too close to the bank of the ditch and lost his balance and fell into the water. Funeral services will be held this morning at Fowler, after which the funeral party will board a Santa Fe train which arrives in Pueblo at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. The United Undertaking Company will be in charge of the arrangements here and the funeral procession will move from the depot to Mountain View Cemetery where the interment will be made. The deep sympathy of the many friends of Mrs. Epler in Nepesta, Fowler, and Pueblo is being extended to her in the hour of her great sorrow. Pueblo Chieftain March 30, 1918 The funeral of Clarence Epler was held yesterday morning at 11 o'clock from the Baptist Church of Fowler. After the services the body was brought to this city. Rev. J.

F. & I. Steel Works 2 Others Overcome, but Will Recover Men Were Engaged at Work in Blast Furnace Three men were killed by asphyxiation, and two others were overcome, while at work in blast furnace "D," at the Minnequa steel plant of the C. F. & I. Co., yesterday afternoon, when carbon monoxide gas, escaping from a ventilation pipe into the chamber in which they were working. The dead: Tony bone, 32, Italian, 608 Arroyo; Jacob Eppright, 32, Negro, 1220 Stone Ave.; William Hicks, 50, Negro, 1228 East Orman Ave. The injured were William Schwab, foreman; Louis Holts, laborer. Schwab and Holts escaped from the furnace when they felt the effects of the gas, the other three men refusing to leave because they claimed they were unable to notice any change in the atmosphere of the chamber in which they were working. A few moments later they were carried from the furnace unconscious and died on the way to the hospital. All the furnaces in what is known as blast furnace row at the steelworks are connected with a pipe which carries off the gas generated by the furnaces. Fearing that gas would escape from the pipe into the furnace of which he intended to work Schwab had taken precautions before entering at noon yesterday. The ventilation pipes were opened flooding the chamber with air and the water seal was turned into the gas pipe to prevent its escaping. Water Seal Inadequate The water seal evidently proved inadequate as the man had been working for less than 2 hours when Schwab and Holts complained of being weak in the knees, the first symptoms of the effects of the gas. They asked the others that they were affected and then left. Schwab pushed Holts through a hole in the side of the furnace and himself climbed a ladder coming out on top of the furnace. He called to the others to crawl through a large opening at the bottom of the furnace but they disregarded the warning, it is stated, because they could not notice the effects of the gas, which is odorless. Schwab and Holts were partially revived by other workers who rush them to Minnequa hospital. Others went into the furnace and carried the trio out and called an ambulance. They died, however, before they reached the hospital. One of the men, Tony bone, was removed to the Davis and Vories Undertaking parlors where an inquest probably will be held sometime during the week. He was unidentified until 9 o'clock last night when his identity was established through his brass check number. Little is known of him except that he came here from St. Louis and has a wife and 2 children residing at 608 Arroyo St., this city. William Hicks came to Pueblo from Birmingham, Alabama, 10 years ago. He is survived by a wife and 3 children residing in this city. Jacob Uppright came here from Iola, Kan. He is survived by a wife residing in Pueblo and a father and mother residing in Iola. A complete investigation of the accident is being made by coroner Dr. Ray Taylor. Taylor was not notified of the accident until after the men had been removed to local Undertaking establishments, he says. For this reason he is making a thorough investigation and will call a jury to hold an inquest over the body of bone, with a view of determining the cause of the 3 deaths.

Espinoza, Alberta Alberta Espinoza - Pueblo Chieftain December 25, 1917 Two Sheepherders Are Murdered North of City Believed to have been murdered by sheep thieves while guarding their flocks on the North Hills overlooking Pueblo 1 mile outside the city limits on the Colorado Springs Highway, the bodies of Alberta Esparoza and Juan Padis, Mexican sheepherders in the employ of Liapes and Kochiovelos, were found shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Teamster sent to the corral to deliver supplies to the herders. The 2 men were seen alive by Juan Mendez, a sheepherder also employed by Liapes and Kochiovelos, at noon yesterday and he conversed with them. At that time Padis told Mendez that on Saturday night four men had approached his herd; that the dogs had barked and that he had awakened and called to the men. He stated they fired four shots at him and disappeared in the darkness. The shooting of Saturday night was reported to the Sheriff's office and to the owners of the sheep and additional ammunition for a shotgun was delivered to Padis Sunday for protection of himself and his herd. The shotgun was found grasped in his lifeless hand when his body was discovered. It was empty. He stated to Mendez yesterday that he would have used it Saturday night, but had no knowledge of the weapon and did not know how to put the loads in it. The gun was a single barrel 12-gauge and shells found on Padis were charged with buckshot. When the murders were reported to the Sheriff and police department yesterday afternoon, three autos carrying Detectives Walton and Baty, Jailer McDonald, deputy Sheriff's Thomas and Deliquadri, Coroner Ray Taylor, Messrs. Liapes and Kochiovelos, and a Chieftain reporter went to the sheep corral and made an investigation. The bodies of the 2 men were a half mile distant from each other. Near the body of Padis were found two empty .41 pistol cartridges. The wounds of both men had been made by .41 caliber bullets. Padis had been shot through the heart and through the head. Both bullets had passed entirely through him, making large exit wounds, as though a soft nosed bullet had been used. The man's brains were torn from his head. The murderer evidently had coolly walked to the body and his victim and search the pockets, as the effects of the dead man, a deck of cards, some tobacco, cigarette papers, and the name and address of the secretary of the railroad YMCA in Pueblo were found scattered about. His lifeless fingers still gripped his empty shotgun. Padis' herd of 700 sheep had left him and had come to the corral where they had mingled with a herd of Esparoza. The finding of the body of Padis was due to a faithful collie, which was still with the sheep. When the Teamster came to the corral with the supplies, the collie barked furiously and ran across the sand hills toward the body of Padis, and then ran back to the teamster. Not finding the shepherd in charge of the sheep, the teamster followed the excited dog across the hills and found the body of Padis. Hurrying back he went to the tent near the corral to acquaint Esparoza with what he had seen. Near the door of the tent at a woodpile, he found the body of Esparoza. Esparoza had been shot twice through the head, evidently while cutting wood to kindle the fire for the afternoon meal. A stick of kindling was clasped in his hand, and he had fallen on the acts he was using, the blade of the acts cutting a gash in his side. Almost the whole of his face was shot away, from a bullet wound in the jaw, and his skull was torn open by a gaping hole. His body was still warm when found. It is believed the murderer had shot Padis and then calmly walked across the hills to the corral and killed Esparoza. The frightened teamster went to a farmhouse near the scene of the cries and telephoned Liapes and Kochiovelos at their store, 210 West Northern Ave. He also telephoned the police and sheriffs. Jailer McDonald made a hurried trip to the scene of the murder, but missed the teamsters and could not locate the bodies. Later a second trip was made in the bodies were found. It was dark when the searching party reached the scene and Mr. Kochiovelos stated that he had a 3rd Herder a mile distant in charge of another flock of 500 sheep. There were 2,000 sheep and the three herds. After the coroner had viewed the bodies they were placed into the Davis and Vories ambulance and the searching party went to the 3rd camp which was in charge of Mendez. They found Mendez alive and unacquainted with the fate which a few hours earlier had befallen his friends and companions. He stated that he had seen nobody around his camp. His sheep were huddled for the night and his dogs were on guard. He remained with his heard last night. Liapes and Kochiovelos took a guard of Greeks and left them at the corral in charge of the herds of Padis and Esparoza. The sheep will be moved today to the ranch of the owners four miles outside the city limits on the Fountain River. Mr. Kochiovelos stated that sheep thieves had been causing him considerable trouble recently. A week ago they came to his ranch where the lambs and ewes and rams are capped and stole 10 fine rams in one night. He valued the sheep stolen that night at $500. He states that he loses from one to three or four sheep every day from thieves on the range and that the animals are worth about $20 each. For this reason he decided after the murder of his herders to send his sheep to the ranch today. The 2 herders killed were both single man and each was about 30 years old. Esparoza has been in the employ of Liapes and Kochiovelos for a long period. Padis has been working for the firm several weeks. Pueblo Chieftain December 26, 1917 Failed To Find Clue to Murder Mystery after Thorough Search After work in several hours yesterday, members of the sheriffs force returned to Pueblo without any tangible clue that would lead to solving the mystery surrounding the murder of the two sheepherders, Juan Padis and Alverta Esparoza, whose dead bodies were found Monday afternoon one mile north of this city. Three 38-special shells were found near where the body of Padis was found and near the scene of the murder of Esparoza were found several rifle shells, indicating that rifles were used to commit the murders. The officers traced the movements of two men who are said to have passed the scene of the murders a short time before, but the clue failed to establish their connection with the crime. Pueblo Chieftain December 27, 1917 Murder of Sheepherders Remains A Deep Mystery - an inquest over the bodies of the two murdered sheepherders who were killed north of the city Monday afternoon will be held by Coroner Ray Taylor at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The police and sheriffs department have been working on the murder mystery but so far have made little progress toward a solution. The tracks of two been were traced from the scene of the murders to the main highway between Colorado Springs and Pueblo and were lost in the road. The fact that both the murdered sheepherders were shot, twice, causes the officers to believe that there were two murderers, and that both murderers were expert shots. Either of the two bullet wounds found on each of the murdered man, would have proven instantly fatal, and there was no necessity of firing more than one shot. All the wounds were made with a 45 pistol, it is believed, although the coroner's inquest will possibly determine the true facts as to the nature of the wounds. Pueblo Chieftain December 27, 1917 The remains of Albert Espinoza will be sent by Davis-Vories to Las Vegas, New Mexico, some time Friday. Pueblo Chieftain Alberta Espinoza December 28, 1917 Huge Losses in Sheep Told at Inquest into Murder A story of losses of thousands of dollars worth of sheep, of attempts to bribe their herders on the part of sheep thieves, and finally of the brutal murder of the herders in the mutilation of their bodies was told that a coroner's inquest yesterday afternoon by James Liapes and Anton Kochiovelos, Greek merchants at 210 West Northern Ave., who are also owners of one of the largest herds of sheep in Pueblo County. So much circumstantial evidence developed at the coroner's inquest, that it is likely the local police and sheriffs departments will be able to make arrests in the near future in the double murder mystery at the sheep camp north of town on the afternoon of Christmas eve, when one Padis and Alberta Espanoza, sheepherders, were shot to death while guarding their flocks. Laipes and Kochiovelos stated that during last summer they had lost more than 100 sheep and that within the past few weeks they had lost about 30 sheep. They told of how certain battalions had approached their herders and had offered to pay $2 for each sheep the herders would sell them. On December 12, Ramon Lapes, Ahearn her, had been approached again by the sheep the who explained to him that they would come at night and get the sheep, take them to the Colorado Springs Hwy. for an auto would be waiting and that the sheep will be taken away in the auto to another city, thus avoiding detection of the thief. Lapes refused to be bribed and was threatened with vengeance. Two days after the attempt at bribery, Lapes resigned and 10 days later Juan Padis, who succeeded Lapes, was murdered. The postmortem examination made by Dr. Rich, disclose that Padis had been shot through the head and through the heart with 38 caliber bullets. A bullet extracted from his body was termed by police offers as a "38-special," being almost equal in size to a 41. The skull of Padis had been crushed by a terrific blow was some blunt instrument, the bullets at the base of the skull in shattered to splinters and the brains knocked out. In murdering Espinoza, the murderers had shot their victim through the head and through the heart with a pistol and had blown off the entire back of his head with a shotgun. They had also crushed his face with a powerful blow with some blunt instrument. Antonio Valdez, third herder in the employee of Liapes and Kochiovelos, told of seeing the murdered man alive at 1 o'clock on the day of the murderers. He had conversed with them and they had warned him to keep a sharp watch for thieves. Feld is His flock farther from the highway then did the other herders and for this reason his herd probably escaped the race made by the thieves. He repeated the story that Padis told of a visit from the sheep thieves last Saturday night, when he ordered them away and fired for shots at him the visitors of last Saturday were declared to be Italians, the same ones who had attempted on previous occasions to induce the herders to permit them to steal the sheep on a payment of $2 a head.

Espinoza, 64, of Salinas, began a grand new adventure Saturday, June 16, 2007.

P.T. was born at home in Trinidad, Colo., on May 9, 1943, the second of three sons belonging to Patty and Cecil Espinoza. He joined the Marine Corps and served his country from 1960 to 1964 and was a lifelong patriot. With a bachelor's degree from Abilene Christian College and a master's degree from Pepperdine University, P.T. was ordained into the ministry in 1968. He became a beloved teacher for 36 years, spending the last 20 years at Salinas High School as a Spanish teacher, retiring in 2005. An avid reader, scholar, historian, missionary, preacher, teacher, musician, Raiders fan and devoted fisherman, his true goal was being a "fisher of men." A man after God's heart, his true passion was loving people just as they were. God's love bounced off him, as he would shake one's hand and say, "Hi. My name's P. T. What's yours'" He made each person feel special and unique. He saw the good in people, even when they couldn't see it in themselves, and he addressed each person's potential. As a member of Salinas Valley Community Church, he inspired many with his tireless and loving Christian service to those in need. His two favorite brothers, Timothy (Ida) and Terry (Judy), were his lifelong companions and best friends. All three brothers headed a tight-knit clan of patriotic, service-minded people. Deeply loved by family and friends, P. T. touched the lives of many people far and wide. Taken from us too soon, we will miss him dearly and will honor his memory with the remainder of our lives. We gratefully acknowledge the Los Palos Medical Group and the Fifth Floor staff at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital. His parents, Patty and Cecil Espinoza, preceded him in death. Military service: P.

Estes - The La Veta Advertiser - January 9, 1914 - This community was greatly shocked by the sudden death of Mrs. G. F. Estes on Sunday morning. It was known that for several weeks she had been suffering from some kind of heart trouble and that plans had been entertained for her removal to a lower altitude, but noting so serious was contemplated and great sympathy is felt for her surviving relatives. Mrs. Estes was born at Billingsley, Ark., on January 1, 1871, where she lived with her parents until she was about 16 years old. She then married Mr. J. H. Oldham, to which union were born four daughters, all of whom were here at the time of their mother's death; five brothers, and four sisters also survive her. After living at various other places, she came from Springdale, Ark. to La Veta some four or five years ago and only last July was married to Mr. G. F. Estes. Funeral services took place from the Baptist church on Tuesday, the Eastern Star Order, of which the deceased was a member, taking charge at the graveyard. Mrs. Estes was also a member of the Royal Neighbors and the local Rebekah Lodge; she was held in high esteem by all who knew her and the surviving relatives have the sympathy of all. To Mr. Estes, it would seem that an undue share of this world's troubles have been allotted, and we can only say for his comfort that we believe some day and somehow a proper balance sheet will be struck when he will receive his just credit.

Evangelista, Charles Ken Charles Ken Evangelista - Colorado Springs Gazette - December 31, 2003 - Springs Man Drowns in Boating Accident - Wife Hospitalized After Explosion in State Park West of Pueblo - A Colorado Springs man apparently drowned Sunday at Lake Pueblo State Park in a boating accident that began with an explosion, officials said. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. Charles Ken Evangelista, 41, could not be located when park rangers responded to a call for assistance, but his wife, Diane Cynthia West, was rescued from the frigid water. She was listed in fair condition Tuesday night at Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo. The couple was in a small fishing boat when the accident occurred about 2:30 p.m. Evangelista's body was found Monday afternoon. Investigators with the Colorado State Parks Department were planning to interview West this week to learn more about what happened, parks spokesman Gary Thorson said. The boat, which sank, had not been retrieved as of Tuesday afternoon, and it was unclear whether investigators plan to try to recover it. Weekend water temperatures at the lake hovered at about 35 degrees, said Lake Pueblo Manager MIke French, which may have contributed to Evangelista's death. Heavy winter clothing he was wearing also may have contributed, Thorson said. "The preliminary investigation would suggest the cause of (Evangelista's) death was drowning," said Pueblo County Coroner James Kramer. "Hypothermia is always a significant factor, so with cold weather, we also have to look at that." Evangelista's drowning is the first death at Lake Pueblo since August 1998, Thorson said.

Edward Evans Pueblo Chieftain July 25, 1917 Flag at Camp at Half Mast Because Col. Evans Died Activities at Camp Gunter were suddenly brought to a halt yesterday, when word of the death of Col. Evans, who was in Pueblo for the purpose of making federal examinations was received. The regimental colors were set to half mast and quiet ordered. Word came at the most busy time of the camp day, 2 companies of men were working on the sewer trench, and at the sound of recall, dropped all operations; 3 companies of men were drilling in the racetrack and they were also recalled. All companies at drill of the manual of arms or fatigue drill were called to their respective quarters. Officers that were overseeing certain work were called to the regimental headquarters and informed of Col. Evans' untimely death. A non-commissioned officers' training school that was being conducted in the grandstand suddenly put away manuals and went to quarters. All activities in the camp Y. M. C. A. were stopped. All men of the camp knew Col. Evans by virtue of fact that he had inspected each in a small degree before making the regular federal inspection. It was evident that the man at the camp felt the loss keenly. Activities were dispensed with for the whole day, men spending the time in reading or writing letters. Pueblo Chieftain July 26, 1917 800 Soldiers Attend the Funeral of Late Col. Edward Evans Ceremony of Marked Simplicity Attended by Hundreds of Pueblo Residents and Members of the Second Regiment With an escort of more than 800 soldiers, the body of Col. Elwood Evans, who died Tuesday morning, was taken from the Davis-Vories Chapel late yesterday afternoon to the Union Station where it was guarded by 16 soldiers until 11:50 at night when Major J. A. Force, U. S. A., left with the body for Newport, N.Y., the home of the departed soldier, where the wife and son are waiting. A simple but impressive service was held at the Chapel. The aisle was lined on both sides by a guard of boys in khaki. Father Donovan, the chaplain of the Regiment, in a brief talk commended the life of the "Christian gentleman and soldier," and urge the assembled soldiers to so live that it might be set of them, as of Col. Evans, whose body lay in the flag draped casket, that they conducted themselves as gentlemen Christian gentleman and soldiers. The word "soldier," he said, "needed no adjectives, and "Christian gentleman" signified all that a man could be. After the brief ceremony of marked simplicity, the body of the Army officer was taken to the station, carried to the hearse by 6 captains, and accompanied to the station by the escort of 800 soldiers. Leading the procession were the members of the regimental band, following then came the escort of soldiers, then the hearse and the riderless horse of the Col. with his sword dangling from the empty saddle. Dozens of citizens, representatives of the local post G. A. R., soldiers bent with years, who gave their strength in the 60s for the same flag which floated over the soldiers in yesterday's march, representatives from the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, and the city commissioners, with numbers of "plain citizens," followed in their automobiles as a tribute to the departed officer. A guard of 16 men kept watch over the body at the station last evening until the train bore the body away. Major J. A. Force arrived in Pueblo from Denver yesterday, especially detailed to accompany the body to Newport, N.Y., the home of Col. Evans. The captains who acted as pallbearers were: Capt. J. J. McGee, Capt. J. B. Mock, Capt. J. Davis, Capt. D. A. Fraser, Capt. E. J. McGovern, and Capt. B. J. Kempton. "Lead, Kindly Light," "The Soul's Refuge," and "Abide with Me," were sung by the members of the Davis-Vories quartet Mrs. Mahlon Saxton, Mrs. J. V. Adams, Miss Willa Vanderslice, and Mrs. Henry Jones. Evans, Eleanor Eleanor Trefz Evans - Pueblo Chieftain - April 1, 2014 - Eleanor Trefz Evans, 83. Full notice later. Pueblo Chieftain - April 6, 2014 - Eleanor Trefz Evans, 83, passed away peacefully on March 31, 2014. She was born in St. Louis, Mo., on July 31, 1930, to Erna Straub and Richard W. Trefz. She was married to Frank Edward Evans Jr., former U.S. Representative for the Third District of Colorado, 1964-1978. The Trefz family lived in Rich Hill, Mo., Beatrice, Neb., and later Pueblo, Colo., where her father opened the Arkansas Valley Bank, the state's first drive-through bank. Eleanor had been attending Lindenwood College in Missouri when her family moved to Pueblo. Both Frank's and Eleanor's families attended the same church where Eleanor and her sister Omy sang in the choir. This is where Frank and Eleanor first saw each other and quickly fell in love. Frank shared with his grandmother that he found someone he could love and the family wasted no time to invite Eleanor's family over for brunch ... and the rest was history. As a new couple, they spent many fun times with Bob and Sandy Rawlings. Sandy and Eleanor were both marrying into the big Hoag family and they had each other for support. This early friendship proved valuable for a lifetime. When Frank decided to run for office and during the years in Washington, D.C., Erna Trefz and Ernamarie and Hank Williams provided a home away from home for Frank, Eleanor and the kids, along with the Rawlings and Farrs and the rest of the Beulah family. Frank and Eleanor believed in doing as much as a family as possible, from camping/fishing trips, traveling, visiting historic sites, to summers in Beulah. Eleanor taught her with dignity and respect, to savor the beauty all around, and to value education and experience as things no one can take away from you. She found many wonderful opportunities for her family as they grew and taught each of them to follow their dreams. She adored Frank and took such good care of him. Eleanor was a lover of the arts. She traveled in order to see and savor as much as possible. She tried her own hand at pottery and created many interesting pieces, having studied under some of her favorite potters. She had a penchant for the odd, the unusual ... from music to plants. The weirder the shape, the more she seemed to like it. Her love of avant-garde music and art took her to New York City on many occasions where she studied the likes of Merce Cunningham, John Cage and Jasper Johns. Her favorite times were the quiet times with Frank. During their years in Washington, they owned and retreated to a primitive cabin in the Virginia woods just outside the city. They had no plumbing or electricity ... and they loved it. The 20 years or so that Eleanor and Frank lived in Santa Fe were their favorite years. They lived at the top of a hill surrounded by pinon and sage, with a view of the mountains. They were extremely content being together, had projects galore and worked as a team. She cooked nutritious and delicious meals, gardened and absorbed the art, culture and energy of the place, while Frank built his ships, birdhouses, beaded belts, garden paths and benches, repairing anything and everything. Frank's failing health, and then Eleanor's, prompted their move back to Pueblo. Eleanor enjoyed her last years living in the Primrose community and was determined to be as independent as possible as long as possible. Everyone who knew her was touched by her depth of presence, character and grace. She has made a lasting impression and will be missed every day. Eleanor is survived by her children, Peter (Ginger) Evans, Chaz (Paula) Evans, Francie (Kenny Maytum) Evans-Maytum; grandchildren, Holland (Erin) Evans, Eleanor Ellie and Hannah Evans, Lee Sunday Evans, Anna and Julie Evans; great-grandson, Archer Evans; sister, Ernamarie (Henry) Williams; cousin, Bob Rawlings; nieces, Eleanor Williams Clark, Lisa Williams Ireland, Judy Farr, Libby Farr Luken, Catherine Farr Langer, Jane Rawlings, Callie Rawlings Temple, Lynne Rawlings Sjoquist, Christine van Lierop; nephews, Richard Williams, Stephen Farr, John Rawlings, Bob Rawlings Jr., John Nelson and Steve Rawlings. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank, in 2010; and daughter, Susan Evans, in 2011. Cremation, Montgomery & Steward Crematorium.

Frank was elected to the Colorado State Legislature in 1960 and served two terms until 1964. In his first term, he was named "Outstanding Freshman Representative" by the Colorado Press Association. Frank was elected to The United States Congress in 1964 and served in the Congress for the next 14 years, representing the Third Congressional District of Colorado. When Frank first announced in 1964 that he was going to oppose long-term Third District Congressman J. Edgar Chenoweth, he hesitatingly told his grandfather, Frank S. Hoag Sr., of his plans. Mr. Hoag was Publisher of the Pueblo Star-Journal and Chieftain, an ardent Republican who had endorsed Congressman Chenoweth in each of the congressman's 11 successful elections. Grandfather Hoag responded to Frank: "I respect your decision, son, but I'm not-a-gonna endorse you." And, though he didn't endorse Frank for Congress until his seventh and final term, he always had great love and respect for him, as he explained to Frank with a noticeable smile, "even though you're a Democrat!" Frank Evans voluntarily retired from the Congress in 1978, having never lost an election. While he took an active part on many issues in the Congress, the fact that it was not important to him to have his name attached to the bills he supported was unusual. His natural modesty made him easy to work with. He served on the Armed Forces Subcommittee and the Appropriations Committee. He earned numerous accolades during the seven uninterrupted terms he served the people of his district and his country. Frank and Eleanor retired to Santa Fe, N.M., in 1988 to enjoy the next 20 years of their lifelong love affair. Frank built model ships with great detail and high quality, bird houses depicting the old mission churches, and beautiful beaded belts. He was an avid historian, an expert on the Civil War and President Abraham Lincoln. Frank taught his children to respect the dignity of all men and women, to stand up for what's right and to treat all people with respect. He was the kindest and most gentle of men. He had a delightful sense of humor. One couldn't help but feel good around him. Frank stated early on, "What I want to do is take a healthy bite out of life." And he did. There will be no viewing.

Evans, Jeff Jeff Evans Pueblo Chieftain September 13, 1919 Patrolmen Jeff Evans Shot and Killed by a Mexican Patrolmen Jeff Evans of the Pueblo police force was shot and killed at 1 o'clock this morning while patrolling his beat in the 500 Block on W. 2nd St. Death was instantaneous, one bullet striking him in the head and the other through the shoulder. It is believed by the police that the shooting was done by a Mexican who is said to go by the name of Hontes. Hontes' wife is in jail and the police officers are making a thorough search for him. The shooting was partially witnessed by Mr. and Mrs. Claude Hudson, a Negro couple residing at 508 W. 2nd. They say they were sitting on their front porch enjoying the cool evening. Evans came down the alley, between their home and the house at 510 W. 2nd. They heard a shot and Hudson rushed into the street to see what it was about. Another shot was fired and Evans fell to the ground. Hudson says he then saw a Mexican whom he could identify if he was to see him again, run away from the scene. He gave the police a good description of the man and the police believe it was Hontes. It is said that another Mexican is implicated in the affair and from descriptions given to the police, one of the Mexicans was short and the other tall. Hudson then notified the police station and Night Capt. Jack Sinclair called out every available officer and detective to join in the search for the supposed murderer. Hontes, who is believed to have laid for Evans because of a dislike for the officer who has been fearless in his endeavors to suppress lawlessness and who, it is said, has been feared by many crooks in this section because of the speed with which he could draw his revolver and shoot if occasion arose. When the police arrived on the scene, they found Evans lying flat on his back with his revolver lying by his side. It was cocked showing that he either was carrying the revolver ready to shoot while going to the dark alley or else he had drawn it when he saw the Mexicans and attempted to shoot first. The police arrested one Mexican at the Union Depot last night and are holding him for investigation. Evans is 60 years old and has been connected with the local police department, off and on for many years. He only recently rejoined the force after an absence of several years. Not long ago, Officer Evans apprehended 2 young men, supposed by him to be the men who had held up and robbed several business firms here previously. Afterwards they confessed that they had committed the crimes charged against them. When he accosted the 2 boys, one of them drew a revolver and shot at Evans. Evans quickly drew his revolver and fired shooting one and seriously wounding him while the man who shot Evans escaped. The wounded man recovered and later his pal was captured and they stood trial on charges of burglary and attempted murder. Evans resided at 1237 Brandon St. and is survived by 3 children, 2 daughters and one son. The son, Harry, resides on a ranch near Canon City and one daughter, Mrs. MacKenzie, resides in Denver, and another whose name was not obtainable last night resides in Pueblo. A niece, Mrs. F. T. Fink also resides in Pueblo. His wife has been dead for 13 years. Pueblo Chieftain September 14, 1919 Police Captured Alleged Slayer's in Early Morning Were found in Kansas-Colorado Railway Coach in Irving Place District Were Identified by Murder Witnesses It was Josι Gonzales who shot and killed police officer Jeff Evans at a late hour Friday night, it is said. Salvatore Ortez was his accomplice. Practically the entire forces of the Sheriffs' Office and the Police Department were kept busy from the time the murder of the officer was reported until the last of the two had been captured. Every corner of Pueblo and its suburbs was scoured in the search. The find was finally made at the Colorado-Kansas Railroad Station in the southwestern portion of Irving Place. Sheriff Thomas, Undersheriff Slagle, Deputy Sheriff Deliquadri, and Police Officers Baty, Grady, Miller, O'Leary, and Johnson made a thorough search of the yards and buildings in the roundhouse and shops of the railroad. Finally they entered a passenger coach which is daily used in the trips to Stone City and there found 3 Mexicans. These were taken to the home of Clyde Hudson, the colored man near whose home in the 500 block of W. 2nd St., the murder took place. Hudson and his wife immediately and without the least hesitation, identified one of the men as one of the slayers, but said the other 2 were unknown to them. This one was locked up, and then the posses of Sheriff and Policeman, leaving Patrolman John Miller on guard inside of the coach, but hidden from view of passersby, and started up the track in search of tracks of the other Mexican who they thought might have started to foot it back to Stone City where he had been employed on the section. With flashlights they carefully examined the ground along the right-of-way until they reached 24th St. Finding no tracks, they made a return to the passenger coach, and just then Officer Miller came out of the coach with another Mexican, whom he had found asleep with a revolver by his side and 40 rounds of ammunition in his pockets. The officers took this man to the Hudson home and he was positively identified by both Mr. and Mrs. Hudson as the other mixed up in the murder of Officer Evans. The Hudson's told the officers that the Mexicans were drunk when at their place; this the officers who arrested them verify. The Hudsons said the Mexicans said they were going to clean out the whites, and when the officer came along and spoke to the smaller of the two men who turned out to be Gonzales, the trouble began, for then Ortez, who is a much larger man, struck the officer on the jaw with his fist apparently. The officer staggered from the effects of the blow, and as he reeled the smaller man, Gonzales, shot him twice, killing him instantly. The Hudson's claim to be sure about the identity of the men who did the killing, and it is said that Mrs. Hudson actually saw the shooting. It seems that there were 6 Mexican section men who were in the habit of sleeping in the coach mentioned when they chanced to come together; part of them worked near the other end of the line and some at this end. When Officer Miller found his man in the coach asleep he was wet to the waist, having hidden in the wet weeds of the vicinity until he thought the officers had gone. Pueblo Chieftain September 14, 1919 Mob Hangs Alleged Slayers Alleged Slayers of Jeff Evans Taken from Jail Hanged From Girders of W. Fourth St. Bridge During Driving Rainstorm Before 10 O'clock A mob, variously estimated at from 100 to 1000, took Josι Gonzales and Salvador Ortez, accused of being the murderers of Patrolman Jeff Evans, from their cells in the city jail at 9:30 o'clock last night, rushed them to the W. 4th St. Bridge and hanged them. The bodies were found by the police 45 minutes later. The leaders of the mob resorted to strategy to get the police officers off their guard. A riot call was sent in from 1700 block on Schley Avenue shortly before the mob went to the jail. Night Capt. Jack Sinclair, with a wagon load of officers rushed to Bessemer, leaving Garfield McCafferty, Desk Sgt., alone at the jail with City Health Officer Jim Byrnes who was in the office talking to McCafferty. The riot call was a fake. The mob formed behind the new City Hall, which is but a short distance from the old City Hall where the jail is located. Officer Pezoldt was on Union Avenue about a block from the new City Hall. One of the members of the mob accosted Pezoldt, drew a revolver and ordered him to surrender his gun. This the officer did fearing that to refuse would mean death to him. The stranger emptied the shells from the revolver and handed it back to the officer. In the meantime the mob quietly marched to the rear of the old City Hall. The Desk Sgt.'s desk is near a window on the south side of the old City Hall. One member of the mob slipped up to the window, pointed a revolver at McCafferty through the screen and ordered him to throw up his hands. He did. While he was thus covered, about 50 members of the mob marched in from the rear, relieved McCafferty of his keys and ordered Jim Byrnes to open the jail and admitted them to the cell occupied by the 2 Mexicans. The Mexicans were asleep. Someone in the mob, struck them over the head with a blunt instrument, knocking them unconscious. They were dragged out of the jail into an automobile and the mob proceeded at break-neck speed up Grand Avenue to 4th Street and down W. 4th St. to the bridge. Here, the mob attached ropes around their necks and threw them off the bridge over the swirling waters of the Arkansas River. The fall broke their necks. The mob dispersed. All this occurred while the patrol with its wagon load of officers was on the fake call to Bessemer. When they returned to the jail and learned what had been done, they hurried out again hoping to overtake the mob and rescue the prisoners. However, the mob was gone and the prisoners were dead when the officers located the scene of the crime 45 minutes later. The news of the lynching spread rapidly and while the police officers were waiting for the coroner to come and cut down the bodies of the Mexicans, a huge crowd collected on the bridge and it was necessary for the police to clear the bridge for fear that the weight of the crowd would cause it to collapse. The bodies were removed to the Whiton Mortuary where an inquest will be held by the coroner to determine, if possible, the leaders and other members of the mob. All of the mob wore handkerchiefs over their faces, it is said, and while numerous persons in Pueblo reported last night that they heard there was going to be a lynching, no one seemed to be able to disclose who any of the members of the mob were. The affair took place in a driving rainstorm and the region in which the lynching took place was especially dark because of the clouds. It is at the west end of the region commonly known as Pepper Sauce Bottoms. It was at the eastern end of the same region that Patrolman Jeff Evans met his death, 20 hours previously. The police found that the mob had used new rope and had a large supply of it which was left at the scene of the hanging. Pueblo Chieftain September 14, 1919 Rumors of Lynching Bee Floated Around All Day Whisperings and subtle hints floated from the time The Chieftain carriers made the rounds in the early yesterday morning until the Mexicans were actually hung that something of the sort was about to happen as a result of the murder of Officer Evans. It was in the atmosphere; the county officials felt it, and so did the members of the Police Department. Noticeable also was the oft mentioned name of Gov. Shoup coupled with his commutation of the Sproules sentence, and prognosticating as to whether any form of leniency would be shown murderer, Bosko. The perfect system with which the "mob" or "committee" acted has given rise to many conjectures as to whether it is proposed to be a permanent institution. Speculations were rife following the lynching as to what kind of complication may arise with Old Mexico, if, as believed, the two executed were citizens of the Southern Republic. Fired Three Shots Clyde Hudson, the Negro who was a witness to the shooting of Patrolmen Jeff Evans Saturday morning, and who identified the 2 Mexicans and last night by the mob as being the 2 Mexicans who shot and killed Evans, caused the police department an exciting run last night when he sent in a call about 9 o'clock that more trouble was brewing. The police hurried to the scene in the patrol wagon and found Hudson armed with a new revolver. He declared that he had seen 3 Mexicans prowling around his place and had taken shots at them with his new revolver and had chased them for several blocks. The police were unable to verify his story and returned to the police station. Lights Went Out Shortly before the mob went to the police station last night and took the two Mexicans from their cells and lynched them, all of the streetlights in the downtown business district went out. It was reported that this was one of the preparations made by the mob to prevent interference with their plans. However, the lights came back again before the jail was entered and the theory that darkening the city was a part of the plan was discarded. Pueblo Chieftain September 15, 1919 City Quiet after Mob Hangs Two - Thousands Visit Morgue To View Bodies of Victims of Lynching With the regular force augmented by the reserves and a volunteer force of citizens, the police department was prepared last night to handle any situation that might arise from the action of a mob Saturday night when Josι Gonzales and Salvador Ortez, accused murderers of patrolmen Jeff Evans, were taken from the city jail to the W. 4th St., Bridge and hanged. The department had no inkling of further trouble but it was decided to be prepared for any emergency. The Sheriff's office was similarly prepared and should any trouble have occurred, the sheriff and his deputies would have quickly joined the police in suppressing lawlessness. All day long crowds of persons visited the Whiton Mortuary, where the bodies of the two victims of the mob and the body of the murdered policeman were being cared for. It was estimated that over 1,000 persons viewed the bodies. The thousand visitors were of various nationalities and it is said that there were several hundred Mexicans, naturalized, and un-naturalized, present. Comment was scarce although there were many groups of natives of the southern republic gathered in groups on the street corners. While the sheriff's office and the police department endeavored to learn the identity of members of the mob, nothing definite was established yesterday. It is doubtful that any clue to the mob leaders will be obtained until an inquest is held by a coroner's jury. Even then it is doubtful that anything definite will be learned. It was not announced last night when the inquest would be held, but it is certain that it will take up a considerable amount of time, as it is learned that Gov. Shoup and other state officials will endeavor to get the matter sifted to the bottom. An inquest over the body of Patrolmen Evans will be held this afternoon, it is understood. It was learned last night that Gonzales and Ortez were both married and that Gonzales had a wife and two little children residing at Stone City or Portland, Colo. It was also learned that they were Mexican citizens. News dispatches from Denver last night gave the information that an Adelaido J. Ortiz, Mexican Consul in Denver had notified Y. Bonillas, Mexican Ambassador in Wash., of the affair and had advised the Mexican residents of Pueblo to refrain from celebrating the anniversary of the independence of Mexico today. Pueblo Chieftain September 16, 1919 A squad of policeman acting as an escort will accompany the body of Patrolman Jeff Evans who was shot and killed Saturday morning, to the Union Depot at 9:30 o'clock this morning from the Whiton mortuary where it will be put on board the train and sent to Lamar. The burial will be held in the family lot by the side of his wife who died 16 years. Pueblo Chieftain September 16, 1919 Coroner's Jury Finds Lynched Men Were Murderers of Police Man "Patrolmen Jeff Evans came to his death on the night of September 13, 1919, at 508 W. 2nd St., Pueblo, CO, from the effects of a gunshot wound inflicted by Josι Gonzales after deceased had been felled to the ground by a blow delivered by Salvatore Ortez, and said blow and said gunshot were inflicted with felonious intent." This was the verdict of the coroner's jury yesterday afternoon after a thorough investigation during the inquest conducted by Acting Coroner Mahar and Assistant District Attorney Langdon at the Whiton Mortuary. Members of the jury were of one mind and very positive as to the identity of the murderers of the officer, and equally positive that they were at the same time lying in the same morgue as their victim as a result of the action of the regulation committee that hung them to the 4th Street Bridge. Claude Hudson, Annie Galley, Zach Dean, and Maude Hudson, were positive in their identification of the Judge Lynch's victims being the murderers of Evans. Their statements were backed by various police officers and members of the sheriff's force, who were present when the identifications were made by the persons before mentioned. Claude Hudson testified that the cries of a Mexican woman whom the two Mexicans were quarreling with, was in his opinion, what attracted the officer to the vicinity of his home, 508 W. 2nd St., where the two Mexicans had been hanging about all evening and threatening to clear out the Negroes and the white people. He stated that the officer simply came upon the scene and had not said a word, but while he was passing between the witness' house and a building behind it, Ortez struck the officer knocking him down, and while he lay upon his back, Gonzales stood over him and fired the shot into his breast which killed him. "It was a most cold-blooded murderer it could possibly be." said Hudson, "for the officer was on the flat of his back and helpless, and had not said a word or done a thing." He stated he was not more than 10 or 12 feet from the man when the murder was committed and saw clearly everything done. He was positive of the identification. Maude Hudson, wife of Claude, told practically the same story on the witness stand, and stated that the men jailed were the two beyond a shadow of a doubt. Annie Galley, who resides more than a block from the Hudson's, identified the man to a certainty. She had been sent to the Hudson home to get the Mexican woman to go to her home, and was standing within two feet of Gonzales when he fired a bullet into the officer's body. She was additionally positive because of a gunshot scar in his left shoulder which one of the Mexicans had displayed earlier in the evening when boasting that he had been a Villa soldier and had been shot by Carranza soldiers. Claude Dean, 529 W. 7th St., stated that Hudson came to his home to ask him to help him get rid of the two Mexicans, and while there, the smaller of the two, Gonzales, came over to his house and began fussing with Hudson. "After the shots I saw him running away with the revolver in his hand." Dean continued. Chief of Police Daly stated that when brought to the police station the man at first denied everything, but later admitted they had been at the Hudson home, but claimed they were so drunk that they did not know what they had done. Others who testified were Night Capt. Sinclair, Undersheriff Slagle, Detectives Grady, Baty, and Walton, and Officers O'Leary, Peterson, Miller, Swearengen, and Johnson. Officer Miller stated that he was awakened from his sleep at home by a Chieftain reporter about 2 o'clock in the morning and at once joined in the chase. A number of interesting details were recounted by the officers. Dr. Robe, who performed the postmortem on the body of Officer Evans, described an abrasion on the back of the head, and the gunshot in the chest almost the center and at the second rib; the bullet had cut the aorta, the largest blood vessel in the body, and lodged in the back near the spine about the third rib. This showed that the victim was either bent forward when shot or lying flat on his back. Death resulted, the physician said within 2 or 3 seconds. During the inquest crowds of Mexicans, mostly of the younger set of men and women, jammed the sidewalks both at the side and front entrance of the Whiton Mortuary. Several times police officers ordered them to move on, but they soon collected again. At the close of the hearing, Mr. Whiton admitted a considerable number who said they desired to see the bodies of their countrymen; some said they only wished to see the body of "Senor" Evans. It was stated that during the day fully 1,000 Mexicans had been admitted to see the lynched men. Pueblo Chieftain September 18, 1919 Police Accompany Body to Cemetery A squad of policeman acting as an escort headed by Sgt. Garfield McCafferty accompanied the body of Patrolmen Jeff Evans who was shot Saturday morning to Lamar Tuesday afternoon for burial. The body was taken to the Union Depot from the Whiton Mortuary accompanied by a squad of policeman where it was put on board a train. The squad was composed of Sgt. Garfield McCafferty, Officers McDonald, Porter, Osborne, Olson, and Miller. The body was placed in the family lot by the side of his wife who died 16 years ago. Pueblo Chieftain September 21, 1919 Mexican Consul Claims Information Denver, September 20 Convinced that in lynching Santos Ortez last Saturday night a Pueblo mob "got the wrong man," was expressed here late today by A. J. Ortiz, Mexican Consul for Colo., Wyoming, and Utah, who returned last night from Pueblo, where he has been making an investigation of the killing of Ortez and Josι Gonzales, Mexican citizens, charged with the murder of Patrolmen Jeff Evans. "We have strong evidence that Ortez was innocent of the murder of Evans," said Consul Ortiz. "This evidence we will present when the inquest is resumed on September 30. "Furthermore, I believe that Josι Gonzales was likewise innocent, though evidence I have on this phase of the matter is not so strong is that relating to Ortez." Console Ortiz announced that he was preparing a detailed report of his investigation to Ignacio Bonillas, Mexican Ambassador in Washington. Pueblo Chieftain September 30, 1919 Inquest on Lynching Resumes This Afternoon 2nd session of the coroner's jury to determine how the 2 lynched Mexicans came to their death, is to be held this afternoon, beginning at 4 o'clock at the Whiton Mortuary. In view of the sensational accusation alleged to have been made by Consul Ortiz, representing Mexico in the affair, it is wondered by the citizenship whether he will be on hand and bring in evidence tending to back up his charges of official collusion, or other testimony tending to throw light on the identity of the vigilance committee membership. The members of the jury will be on hand to learn. Evans, John John Evans - Pueblo Indicator - July 31, 1937 - Six Men In Auto Crash - Their Car Crashed Into A Large Truck Parked On The Roadside Without Tail Lights - Six well known Puebloans riding in an auto crashed head on into the rear of a large transportation truck 6 miles north of Walsenburg at 11 o'clock last Tuesday night, July 27, as they were on their way home from a fishing trip on the Gunnison and were coming back via San Luis Valley.
