Tafoya – Walsenburg World – July 20, 1899 – A Fatal Affray – Jesus J. Tafoya Is Killed at Cucharas – Early Monday morning word was brought to town that the dead body of a man had been found near the railroad tracks at Cuchara. Under Sheriff Farmer left at once for the scene and soon discovered that the dead man was Jesus J. Tafoya, and that he had been shot. Assisted by Deputy Sheriff Abercrombie they discovered that one Juan C. Cisneros was the murderer. The night before the two parties had been in the saloon together and Cisneros had made frequent references to his “gun” and had repeatedly attempted to draw it to enforce some demand when he was made to desist by Dillard Sefton. After the saloon was closed these two men remained about the place, Cisneros apparently very drunk. About 2:30 a shot was fired but no one investigated it at the time. About five in the morning Cisneros was seen going away from the scene of the tragedy. These and other facts within the knowledge of the officers were sufficient to warrant the arrest of Cisneros who is now in jail awaiting trial. Tafoya was a section hand on the D & RG and quite well known here. He came from New Mexico.

Tafoya, Juan Juan Tafoya – Walsenburg World – September 26, 1907 – One Dead, One Dying, Three Injured – Trinidad, September 22 – One Mexican is dead, another dying and three others are in a serious condition as a result of a bad cutting and shooting affray that took place early this morning in front of a saloon at Segundo. The dead man is Andrea Azacar, and Juan Tafoya is not expected to live. Fidel Arguello and Chano Bruno are in jail awaiting an investigation and several others are held on suspicion of being implicated in the affair. A Mexican dance was given at Segundo which concluded in a drinking bout in a saloon in the old portion of the town. It seems that the entire party was under the influence of liquor and a quarrel between two Mexicans soon resulted in a free-for-all fight. The battle continued in the street where several shots were exchanged and knives were freely used. When the officers succeeded in breaking up the row two fatally wounded men were lying in front of the saloon. Much difficulty is being experienced by the officers in getting at the facts of the killing. Walsenburg World – September 26, 1907 – Coroner’s Inquest at Trinidad – Trinidad, September 23 – the coroner’s inquest into the death of Andre Arguello (?), killed in a saloon fights at Segundo Sunday morning, is to be held at that place tomorrow. A half-dozen Mexicans supposed to have engaged in the melee are under arrest and the offices are still searching for other members of the crowd. Juan Tafoya, who was probably fatally slashed, is still alive. Julian Funiz and Eugenio Alarid are also lying at the point of death, their bodies covered with numerous knife wounds. Walsenburg World – September 26, 1907 – Tafoya Charged – Trinidad, September 24 – Juan Tafoya, lying at the point of death at the town of Segundo as a result of injuries received in a saloon fight at that place Sunday morning, was today held, after a coroner’s inquest, on the charge of the murder of Andrea Arguello who was killed in the melee. Witnesses swore that Tafoya came to the dance and a quarrelsome mood and armed with a knife and a gun. It seems that the woman in the case was Marcelina Padilla, who was sentenced to 60 days in jail on the charge of assault. The other injured are still in a critical condition but have a chance for recovery.

Tarsney – Walsenburg World – April 24, 1902 – Former Adjutant General – Recently Returned From The Philippines – Suffered from Injuries Received at the Time of the Cripple Creek War – Pueblo, Colorado, April 20 – Former Adjutant General Thomas J. Tarsney died yesterday morning at 10 o’clock at the late residence, No. 307 Spring St., this city. The immediate cause of death was dropsy. He had been in ill health since his return from the Philippines, two years ago, but his illness was not considered serious until a few days ago, when he began sinking rapidly. Thomas J Tarsney, Adjutant General under Gov. Waite’s administration, figured conspicuously in one of the most serious crises of the state’s history, and bore the marks of that experience to the end. Leading his troops in the Bull Hill War at Cripple Creek, tarred and feathered by the angry participants in that fight and feeling the effects of that terrible night all the rest of his days, Tarsney never could get the memory of it out of his mind, and his friends think that the horror of that memory contributed to break down his health. He came to Pueblo in 1874, and was afterward admitted to the bar. He was appointed Adjutant General by Gov. Waite in 1894. When the war between the mine operators and the miners broke out at Cripple Creek, Tarsney, with the state troops that the governor had called out, hastened to the seat of hostilities. Tarsney was stopping at the Alta Vista Hotel in Colorado Springs. One night a mob surrounded the hotel, broke into the general’s room, carried him some distance from the city and there applied a coat of tar and feathers. When the angry men left him he made his way back to the city and was cared for by his friends. Tarsney, after the trouble was ended, returned to Denver and remained in office until the end of Gov. Waite’s term, when he went to Durango, where he was a district attorney at one time. A few years later he went to Pueblo. Tarufelli, John A. Jr. John A.

Tatum, Jim Jim Tatum - Chronicle News - December 3, 2007 - Homicide on Highway 12 - On Nov. 29 at approximately 7:57 p.m., the Trinidad Communications Center received a call of a domestic in progress involving weapons. Las Animas County Sheriff’s Deputies and Trinidad Ambulance were dispatched to the location of 12630 Hwy. 12 in Weston, Colo. Upon arrival at the location, one male party was found by Sheriff’s deputies and medical personnel to have sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Las Animas County Assistant Coroner Dave Bacharach identified the victim as Jim Tatum and pronounced him deceased. A primary investigation indicated that a physical confrontation between Tatum and his wife, Ann Tatum, had occurred within the residence. An ongoing investigation is being conducted with the assistance of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Chronicle News - December 4, 2007 - Suspect arrested in homicide - Wife of local attorney Jim Tatum, Ann Fechtel Tatum, 57, of Weston was arrested and charged with Second Degree Murder, a class 2 Felony, in connection with the death of her husband. The arrest warrant was issued by Judge Claude Appel Sunday night at approximately 11 p.m. following the Thursday night incident that left Jim Tatum dead at his home as the result of two gunshot wounds, one to his left shoulder and a second to his lower spine. According to the Las Animas County Sheriff’s Department affidavit, a call was received by the Communications Center of a domestic disturbance in progress at 12630 Colorado Highway 12 with possible weapons involved. The residence is known as that belonging to Jim and Ann Tatum. The call was made by a “guest” of the Tatum’s, off-duty Las Animas County Sheriff s Deputy John Martinez, who was a witness to the incident. Following the primary call, a second call was received reporting that “shots had been fired and the male party involved was possibly deceased.” When officers arrived nearly one half hour following the first call, owing to the location of the residence, they discovered blood in several areas of the kitchen, the victim’s deceased body lying on the kitchen floor, and “several” firearms located in the kitchen. According to Martinez’s statement, who stated that he witnessed the entire incident, the Tatums were in the kitchen area of the home belonging to the couple, when Jim “suddenly became belligerent with Ann. Ann asked him to be civil, at which time Jim walked over to Ann’s location in the kitchen and slapped her face.” Martinez reportedly came out of his bedroom and attempted to stop Jim Tatum from hitting his wife. It was at that time, that the victim allegedly hit Ann Tatum in the ribs and grabbed her by the hair. Martinez was still reportedly attempting to break up the dispute when he himself was “pushed aside, striking his head and dazing him momentarily.” The suspect then apparently broke free of her husbands hold and, crossing a distance of about eight feet, pulled a revolver from her purse, aiming towards her husband and firing several times. Jim Tatum then fell to the ground and “made a grunting noise” and then stood back up. He then reportedly walked towards a pistol sitting on a counter on the east side of the kitchen and pulled the revolver from its holster. Ann Tatum then reportedly grabbed the revolver, pulling it from her husband’s grip, turned the gun on him and fired. The witness stated that she then took the two pistols and set them side-by-side on a counter and left the kitchen area. It was at this time that Martinez stated he called 911, also calling a woman by the name of Desiree and Jim Tatum’s ranch hand “Will” to come to the house to help him. Martinez then located Ann Tatum in a bedroom east of the kitchen appearing to be in shock. Moments later, Stonewall Volunteer QRTs arrived. The witness showed Sheriff’s deputies the two revolvers that Ann Tatum used to shoot her husband, a .38 caliber pistol and a .45 caliber pistol. Both revolvers had the hammers cocked and ready to fire. CBI was contacted and arrived at 2 a.m. Friday. After an initial investigation, agents found that the .38 had five spent casings in the cylinder. The .45 was found to have one spent casing and five unfired rounds in the cylinder. A copper jacketed bullet fragment was located near a rug on the west side kitchen floor and a lead bullet fragment next to Tatum’s body on the floor. Ann Tatum was taken to Mt. San Rafael Emergency room by Las Animas County Deputy Gil Sanchez who reported that a voluntary statement was made by Ann Tatum, stating that she did shoot Jim Tatum “again and again.” It was noted in the report that an exit existed near where Ann Tatum’s purse was located where the suspect could have continued her escape. The witness, John Martinez, was placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation. It was reported that he was a frequent guest of the Tatum’s and was staying at the ranch as a guest. An investigation also was reportedly made of Martinez’s service revolver, which was found to not have been fired. No information revealing whom the two revolvers involved in the shooting incident were registered to has been returned. Galvanic skin response tests were conducted on both the victim and the suspect; however those results also have not been made available. District Court Judge Appel set bond for Ann Tatum at $175,000, cash only. Chronicle News - December 6, 2007 - James Eddie Tatum passed away Thursday, November 29, 2007. Jim was born to W.

Milson Phipps, John Clark, and the deceased were driving entries on private contract. Taylor and Phipps were in the entry and had just fired a shot at the end and retired to one of the cross cuts where they sat down and were enjoying a smoke while the entry cleared itself of smoke. Having rested and enjoyed their smoke, Taylor returned to the entry where the shot had been fired while Phipps went elsewhere to look after other men in their employ. Taylor had hardly reached the entry when the rock fell on him. The entry was securely timbered and apparently safe. But the huge rock roof had cracked along the sides of the entry the entire length, and was not observable on account of nearness to the sides of the coal. The rock from the roof was V-shaped and of such an unusual size that sounding it did not reveal the insecurity of the roof. Taylor was 48 years old, has a wife and eight children surviving him. The body was taken to Louisville, Colorado, for burial beside the body of a child who lies there. The coroner’s inquest held Thursday afternoon returned a verdict of death by unavoidable accident.

John Alton Templin - Chronicle News - March 30, 2017 - Memorial services for Reverend J. Alton Templin were held at University Park Methodist Church in Denver on March 11. He was memorialized by numerous ministers, educators, former students, younger generation members and an incredibly moving vocal duet by other family members. He was a Hoehne native, family patriarch, historical theology educator, minister, world traveler, author, and Emeritus Professor at the Iliff School of Theology at the University of Denver. He was 89 years old and passed away February 1, 2017. He directed his body be donated to science. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Dorothy Jean (Lear) Templin, sisters Carolyn Kaiser and Martha McIntyre, three children Kayla Jean Templin West (Dennis), Anne Revae Reynolds (Rick), and Bryce Alton Templin (Christine), seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. John Alton Templin was born September 27, 1927 on a farm near Hoehne homesteaded in the 1870?s by grandparents Elbert Marion and Martha Ellen (Richardson) Templin. The Templin family emigrated from Templin, Brandenburg, Germany and came to Colorado from Tennessee. His parents were John Wesley and Stella Mable (Canterbury) Templin. Templin was brought up in the Methodist Church at Hoehne that his father helped to build in 1895. Templin's mother Stella was one of seven children of Robert E. and Gertrude (Hoyt) Canterbury, originally from Missouri. Those children were all raised in and near Trinidad. In Hoehne, he was joined by his younger sisters Iris, Carolyn, and Martha. He had fond memories of 4-H, his dogs and pony and an early appreciation for the Rocky Mountains and southern Colorado history. He returned often to visit relatives and family sites. Ordained a Methodist minister in 1951, he began his career assisting in Denver churches. He was also assigned to the Methodist Church in Gardner, Huerfano County. He traveled by train to southern Colorado each weekend, stopping in Pueblo at old St Mary’s Hospital to visit polio epidemic patients and then continuing to Walsenburg and making his way up to Gardner for Sunday services. Following the Great Depression and drought, the family went west for work in Oregon and California. They returned to northern Colorado at the end of World War II. He was an excellent student and Boy Scout. He learned to play piano, French horn, accordion, and sang in the A Capella choir. He graduated from high school in Fort Collins. He joined the Army Air Corps as part of occupying forces in Japan in 1945. To his surprise, he was assigned as assistant to the Chaplain who needed an organist and secretary. The Army Chaplain impressed him with his tireless ministry to individual soldiers. In Japan Corporal Templin first observed how religious beliefs could become interwoven with political power, a topic he would explore in his later research and writings. After his experiences in Japan, his interests changed. In 1947 he used his GI benefits and enrolled at University of Denver. Following completion of undergraduate work, he entered Iliff School of Theology in 1950. There in 1951 he met another student, Dorothy Jean Lear from Kansas. Both graduated from Iliff and they married on December 31, 1952. They became a clergy team also. He went on to receive his Masters and Doctorate Degrees in Theology at Iliff. He taught two years at Southwestern College in Winfield, KS and in 1955 daughter Kayla was born. Between 1957 and 1966 he served as minister at churches in Waltham, Fitchburg, and Springfield, MA where daughter Revae was born in 1962. In 1966 he received his Ph.D in History and Philosophy of Religion at Harvard University. The next year he taught European History at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion where son Bryce was born. Later in 1967 he joined the faculty at Iliff and taught there for 30 years. Alton and Dorothy enjoyed being closer to family and friends in Colorado. Dorothy worked as director of religious education at Methodist churches around Denver for more than 20 years. Alton appreciated the intellectual environment at Iliff, the openness to diverse religious ideas, and its willingness to venture into issues of social justice and social engagement. During their 64 years together Alton and Dorothy traveled to nearly sixty countries on six continents for work and leisure. He was a constant reader with an encyclopedic memory. He authored books and countless articles and book reviews on historical and religious topics. They spent extended time in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Moscow, and Africa as he taught courses or researched books on the Reformation in Europe and Apartheid in South Africa. They visited daughter Kayla in Peace Corps in Togo, West Africa. Alton and Dorothy traveled six times to Kenya beginning in 1988 to lead and participate in educational trips. They were part of a team that organized and established Kenya Methodist University (KEMU) in Meru through fundraising for equipment and construction of buildings, organization of curriculum, recruitment of staff and teachers and other challenging tasks. They taught classes at the university. The university graduated its first class in 2001. KEMU now has 9000 students, 19 academic departments, 550 staff members, and campuses in Meru, Nairobi, Mombassa, Nakuru, Nyeri, and three other educational centers. To family, friends, and associates Templin was an interesting man of depth. He was very cordial, patient, compassionate, open, accepting, and generous to all. He was nurturing to his extended family and very interested in the activities and education of his younger generation by setting up education funds for all who might want to go to college. Alton enjoyed history, instrumental and chorale music, gardening, animals, birds, and nature’s wonders in the Rocky Mountains. His ten children and grandchildren carry on his work and compassion. They all have made the best of their education. Many have established careers in health and social work and the rest have established themselves in technology and business. Tenent, Andrew Andrew Tenent – Walsenburg World – August 8, 1901 – Died at Pictou, Colorado, Saturday, August 3, 1901, Mr. Andrew Tenent, age 49 years, 8 months and 10 days, of consumption.

Tenent, Paul Paul Tenent – Walsenburg World – November 2, 1911 – Killed at Cedar Hill – Paul Tenent, the 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Tenent was killed at the Cedar Hill Bridge accident last week.

Tennant, Lena Lena Tennant – Walsenburg World – September 12, 1912 – In Memoriam – Died at the Minnequa Hospital in Pueblo, Colorado, Sunday, September 8, 1912, Mrs. Lena Tennant, age 47 years, 5 months and 13 days. Mrs. Tennant was born March 25, 1865, in Indiana, where she lived a number of years. After coming to Colorado, she and her husband and family made their home at Pictou and Walsen for some time, when they moved to Tollerburg Colorado. The deceased leaves a husband and two children, Elizabeth and Hugh, to mourn her death. The funeral services, preached by Rev. J. A. McKee, were held at the Methodist Church Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. At the close of these last solemn rites, the sad cortège moved on to the Masonic Cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest. The Women of Woodcraft, of which Mrs. Tennant was an active member, took charge and held a short but impressive ceremony. Life will never be quite the same to those who knew her, while those who are nearest to her will long for her with unutterable longings – long for a mother’s counsel and advice, and a wife’s gentle and loving sympathy. None but those who have sat in the shadow of the great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood for months by the side of a loved one as hope after hope dropped away as a petal falls from a fading flower, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the tenderest words. Well may her husband and children cherish her memory as a precious legacy and we fain would say a word of comfort to the stricken ones. We can but let our tears flow in sympathy with theirs, and point them to the promise, “At eventide it shall be light.” Tennent, Kathy Kathy Tennent - Pueblo Chieftain - July 4, 2016 - Kathy Tennent, 25, was gunned down outside her home by a man in a car on June 30, 1975.

John worked 43 years at Weicker Transfer and Storage Co., retiring as general manager of the Pueblo operation. He treasured the friendships made with those with whom he worked. An active member of First Baptist Church for 60 years and a new member of Central Christian Church. Nothing made John happier than taking his family and friends to a lake with his boat. He taught many to water ski and use a surfboard. He was not a fisherman but was always ready to take his son and grandsons out on the water to catch the "big ones." When the snow fell, the boat went in and the snowmobiles came out, affording his family and friends with more fun times. Later in life, rides to the mountains and keeping track of the crops growing on the Mesa gave him much joy. John faced many challenges growing up, and hearing his stories only made you love and admire him more. His family will treasure these stories forever. Later in life, a highlight of his week was going out to eat, and there are many restaurants that will remember John Thomas. He was full of kindness, never met a stranger, and could talk about anything and everything.

Please visit www.imperialfunerals.com for service information and tributes. Arrangements by Imperial Funeral Home. Imperial Funeral Home - March 14, 2017 - William Daley Thomas, March 2, 1933 – March 11, 2017 - With Beethoven's piano concertos playing on the CD player, and surrounded by family and his best friend as the words of the Tibetan Bardo of Dying were read aloud, William Daley Thomas, 84, died with grace, humor, and dignity, just as he had lived. Daley was born in North Hollywood, CA, to Richard D. Thomas and Wilma G. Norton, who predeceased him long ago. His first wife, Joan H. Harrell, predeceased him in 2015. Daley is survived by his wife of 32 years, Ernestine Wardlaw-Thomas; his sister, Emily A. Jason of Pueblo, CO; his children, Morgen L. Thomas, Ethan D. Thomas, and Damon F. Thomas, all of Colorado Springs, CO; Emily Toth and David E. Duncan, both of Pueblo, CO; Marti E. Greeley of Colorado Springs, CO; and his niece, Carrie A. Jason of Pueblo, CO. Daley was a devoted and loving grandpa to Chelsea L. Sobolik of Fort Collins, CO; William J. Sobolik of Colorado Springs, CO; SSgt Casey E. Toth of Honolulu, HI; Hannah A. Barton and husband Ryan along with great-granddaughter Bea, all of Rexburg, ID; A1C Christopher D. Thomas and wife Allison of Yuba City, CA; Sarah M. Thomas and Savannah M. Thomas, both of Colorado Springs, CO; Jeffrey D. Waldron of Colorado Springs, CO; and MIDN Kristy A. Lehmer of Annapolis, MD. Daley graduated from UCLA in 1959 with a Bachelor's degree in music composition. While in college, he sang with the famous Roger Wagner Chorale. He played the piano, violin, guitar, penny whistle, harmonica, and Native American flute. In 2006, Daley and his friend Elizabeth Nichols co-authored and published a book of Native American songs and music. During that time, Daley became quite proficient in making Native American flutes, often gifting them to family and friends. He was a skilled woodworker, constructing redwood and maplewood tables throughout his life. Post-retirement, Daley delivered meals-on-wheels and volunteered to conduct a praise band at the First United Methodist Church in Pueblo, CO, creating musical arrangements for each instrument in the band. Daley had deep passion for classical music and could relate detailed stories of his favorite composers' lives. While serving in the United States Navy as an aerial photographer (1951 – 1955), he could often be found at the local church, practicing the piano compositions of Beethoven and Shostakovich. Daley was an avid reader. Even macular degeneration couldn't stop him from reading books, articles, magazines, everything he could get his hands on. His favorite authors are too many to list, but among the most influential were George Saunders, Mark Twain, Thich Nhat Hanh, and the teachings in The Blue Cliff Record. He loved art and movies – the kids and grandkids always looked forward to his funny and impassioned film reviews! Daley was employed with the United States Postal Service from 1956 to 1990, starting out in mail processing and achieving successive promotions from there, eventually becoming Postmaster in Pueblo, CO. While a supervisor, he learned sign language so he could communicate with and train hearing-impaired employees. He was a natural mentor and teacher, advocating for racial and gender equity in hiring practices and promotions. He did not tolerate prejudice or discrimination on any level. Daley was genuinely interested in people and the planet. He was a skeptic of all things supernatural and believed the natural science of the world was far more interesting and educational. Humanity was his main source of joy and hope as well as disappointment and hardship. He had a deep sense of wonder and an even deeper curiosity that he encouraged in others through his words and actions. He extended a hand to every person whose path he crossed, no matter their past or present mistakes, no matter the beliefs they subscribed to. He practiced compassion and empathy toward all sentient beings, even when it was difficult. He supported family members and friends in their interests and goals, offering insights and advice along the way. He adored his grandchildren, taking on the role of father-figure for most of them, and they adored him right back. Even as death drew closer, he did not look away, but instead remained curious and extended his hand in welcome. He chatted with loved ones, knowing that the tragedy and comedy of life lay behind him now and he was okay with that.

Thompson, Robert C. (Dr.) Dr. Robert C. Thompson - Pueblo Chieftain - August 18, 2014 - Dr. Robert C. Thompson, 77. “He had read much, if one considers his long life; but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.” — Isaac Asimov. Dr. Robert “Bob” C. Thompson was born in Pueblo on Jan. 10, 1937, to Thelma (Tucker) and Howard Thompson. His pursuit of knowledge and love of teaching led him from Colorado to Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Washington and North Dakota. During these years he earned a Master of Arts from Texas Christian University and a PhD in Sociology from Washington State University. After his retirement from teaching, he returned to Colorado, settling in Pueblo West, with his much-loved wife, Joyce (Theis) Thompson. Bob loved to look out his backdoor at the prairie and the mountains, as their dog, Sarah, sat beside him, begging to get out and “play” with the rabbits that taunted her. His favorite pastimes though, were reading and watching baseball and football. He never lost faith that his beloved Cubs would win the World Series.

Tolmiche, Torivo Torivo Tolmiche - Walsenburg World - December 29, 1898 - The Christmas festivities were followed closely by Christmas disasters. An unfortunate accident occurred at Pryor on Christmas eve whereby two men, Torivo Tolmiche and John Sollock met their death and Tiofilo Martinez received a scalp wound. At about 7 o’clock in the evening a number of men had gathered in the saloon and were having a general good time when one of the merchants of the camp entered the building. After he had been in a short time, N. W. Trew, who by the way is not a “local bad man” said to Martinez, “Just watch me scare him I will shoot up into the air.” As he threw his hand over his head and he evidently thought he fired up into the air. But alas for human judgment when overthrown by liquor, the hand was up but the muscles of the wrist relaxed and the gun pointed downward as three shots were fired. One of them passed through a window above the heads of the crowd. One entered the body of John Sollock causing almost instant death and passing through the head of Torivo Tolmiche causing instant death. It is probable that the ball that killed Sollock first passed through the hat of Martinez and inflicting a slight scalp wound. As soon as Trew realized what he had done, he notified the sheriff here, saddled a horse, and came in to give himself up, making a clear statement of facts upon his arrival at the jail. On Monday Coroner Wright, Sheriff Farr, Dr. McGuire and Deputy District Attorney Halbert went to the scene of the accident and made a full and complete investigation. Coroner Wright caused a jury to be summoned and the evidence was submitted to them, upon which they found “accidental shooting” as the cause of the deaths. Coroner Wright then issued a warrant for the arrest of Trew who was soon after placed under a $1,000 bond to appear before B. A. Arnold, Esq. for preliminary hearing. Toma, Lorraine R. Lorraine R.

The Tomicias had protested against the marriage but the fair young Italian girl had a mind of her own and announced that she would wed the man she loved. The Tomacias were not invited to witness the ceremony and while the festivities were at their height, Salvatore Tomacia, father of the bride, and his son Joseph Tomacia forced their way into the house and a row began immediately. Hot words were followed by a shot and then the scrimmage became general, both the Tomicias using their guns with good effect. Alfonso Campicia was shot in the head and Frank Campicia, the groom, was wounded in the shoulder. Both men fell to the floor and the Tomacias bolted for the door and started to run away. The Campicias and their guests pursued, firing as they ran. About 100 feet from the house, Joseph Tomacia, brother of the bride, fell dead with a bullet through his body. The elder Tomacia was then shot in the hip. The elder Tomacia and two others who went along with him are in jail at Hastings and Coroner Sipe has taken charge of the body of Joseph Tomicia and is now conducting an investigation. All of the parties concerned are Italians. Denver Post. Tomicich, Jim A. Jim A. Tomicich - Pueblo Chieftain - July 16, 2017 - Jim A.

Tong, Quong Quong Tong – Walsenburg World – December 11, 1919 – Chinaman Murdered – Restaurant Keeper on Seventh Street Killed by Unknown Parties – Quong Tong, a Chinaman who has lived in Walsenburg for a long number of years, was killed Wednesday night, presumably about 10 o’clock, by unknown parties. Mr. A. Levy, who was in the coal office, next to the restaurant, heard some shots about 10 o’clock Wednesday night. He went out on to the street but could find nothing out of the way. Thursday morning when some of the waitresses went to work at the restaurant they found the proprietor lying on the floor with his head frightfully crushed and mangled. His head had been beaten and crushed with some blunt instrument. A punch board and the prize jewelry which went with it was missing. This leads the officers to believe that robbery was the object of the attack on the Chinaman. Whether any money was taken is not known. The safe is said to have been open and that there was about $4,000 in currency there which was untouched. The robbery may have been perpetrated by amateurs, or the thieves may have been frightened away before they could secure the money. Quong Tong had been running a restaurant in Walsenburg for a long number of years. He was an old. wrinkled-faced Chinaman of nobody knows how many years. He was quiet and inoffensive in his ways and there are many old time-residents in Walsenburg who never knew that such a man was in business in the town. The officers of the law are doing their best to ferret out the mystery.

Torres, Amparo Amparo Villarreal de Torres - Chronicle News - September 17, 2009 - In memory of our beautiful wife, mother and grandmother, Amparo Villarreal de Torres, who left her loving family on Saturday, September 12, 2009, at 80 years old. She was born on the 8th of July, 1929, in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico to Luis Villarreal and Berta Austre Perez. Preceding her in death are parents, Luis, Sr. and Berta Villarreal; brother, Luis Villarreal Jr.; sister Maria de los Angeles Villarreal de Castro and baby sister, Bertita Villarreal. Amparo is survived by her husband, Dr. Eugene Luis Torres, DVM; daughter, Lorraine Amparo (David Robert) Horowitz of Sacramento, Calif., and their daughter, Alexis Antoinette Horowitz of Vista, Calif.; son, Hector Rene Torres and his children, Khyndra Anais Torres and Jesse Austin Torres of Spokane and Newport, Wash. Respectively, son, Major Brenndan Patrick Torres (Maria Rosario (Charo) Orta) of Highlands Park, Colo.; their children, Cassandra Rosario, Vanessa Addie Rachel, Anastasia Marisol, Aaron Eugene Luis Torres; sister, Ana Lara Villarreal de Torres of Model, Colo.; brother, Dr. Gustavo Adolfo Villarreal, D.D.S. of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico; brothers-in-law, Richard Francis Torres, of Priest River, Idaho, David Ronald Torres, Model, Colo., Carlos Castro of Austin, Tex. Amparito was born in 1929, in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, but she spent much of her childhood in a very old, but small village named Guerro, in Coahuila, Mexico. Her youthful years were spent in a town named Piedras Negras, located in Coahuila, Mexico. The Rio Grande River is the border between Mexico and America, with Eagle Pass Texas on the American side. Her family survived two devastating floods of the Rio Grande, also known as El Rio Bravo. The family lost their home and all of their treasured belongings, but thankfully the family members were all safe. In 1955, Amparo met a young Air Force Sgt., Eugene Torres, while she was visiting her sister, Maria de los Angeles, in Bryan, Texas. Gene was stationed at Bryon Air Force Jet Fighter Training Command in Bryan, Texas, at the time. Even though she hardly spoke English and he spoke even less Spanish, they were married on the 21st of January, 1956. They were married in the Mexican Presbyterian Church in Piedras Negras. In the intervening years, Amparo gave birth and reared three children, Lorraine (b. 1956), Hector (b. 1957) and Brenndan (b. 1966), who are proud to share some of her history at this time. Amparo was a loving, and nurturing wife, mother, grandmother, and aunt. She helped her husband through eight years of Veterinary School. Because of her good education in Mexican schools and in spite of the fact that she spoke very little English, she was hired to a prestigious job as a lab technician in the Bacteriology Department at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the Colorado State University, in Fort Collins, Colorado. Eventually, she learned good English, basically on her own, but she spoke with a gentle, delightful Spanish accent and became head of her department. Amparo was a talented artist. She painted mostly landscapes and still life in oils and pastels. Family and friends eagerly waited for Amparo to finish one of her “Masterpiece paintings.” When relatives or close friends admired a painting, she often presented them with that painting, or a similar one as a gift. She had the desire and the imagination to become a talented fashion designer. Sadly she was unable to fulfill that dream, because of her devotion to raise her family, which always came first. Amparo’s passion for designing women’s fashions never left her. A member of the family is always delighted when they find one of her drawings on a scrap of paper tucked away in a book or some other unlikely place. She also loved knitting beautiful baby sweaters and always had one to give to the new baby of a friend, or a family member. Amparo loved books, both English and Spanish, and especially loved history of people and places, art, classics, and even a good mystery. She wrote beautiful poems in Spanish that often brought tears to those who could read them. As a young teenager, during the 1940’s, and 1950’s, she grew to love and admire the magic that great actors brought to the silver screen. She continued to revel in a great story whether the movie was American or foreign made. Amparo loved to travel. One of her most memorable trips was to Europe with her husband. They visited England, Scotland, Germany, France, Italy, Vienna and the Principality of Monaco. She especially loved traveling by automobile with her family, through her beloved Mexico. She was also fortunate to take family trips throughout most of the United States. As a gracious hostess, she always set an excellent and elegant table, even if she set it just for her husband and herself. She always insisted that the family dress up for special dinner occasions, whether at home or going out. This custom is still followed by her children, which will be passed on to their children. Her greatest delights were visits with her children and grandchildren, whom she lavished with love and spoiled them shamelessly. Amparo’s profound generosity, her sense of humor, her loving spirit and spirituality will always be kept dear, in the hearts of all of those she left behind. You were our sunshine. They have taken our sunshine away. We all love and miss you beyond words. The family wishes to thank all those who helped Amparo in her time of need. She was beautifully cared for at Mt. San Rafael Hospital in Trinidad. The Flight For Life people were amazing. All the doctors and nurses in ICU at Parkview Hospital in Pueblo, were incredibly kind, generous and efficient. Mullare-Murphy Funeral Home also showed kindness and thoughtfulness in helping with the funeral arrangements. Thanks to the neighbors and friends that offered their condolences at the time that we needed them. Thank you all! Memorial services will be at 1 p.m. Friday, September 18, 2009, at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Trinidad. The family has entrusted Mullare-Murphy Funeral Home with the funeral arrangements.

On the 24th day of July, 2017, Alfred Smith Toth, 88, passed away peacefully in St. Mary's Hospital in Blue Springs, Mo. He was born Aug. 21, 1928, in Seattle, Wash.

Al graduated from Glenwood Springs High School in 1947. He lived with his best friend in life, Bob Wilson, and Bob's grandmother, Mina Wilson. She became "Grandma Wilson" to Al. After high school, Al served his country honorably in the Navy from 1948 to 1950. After service, he attended Mesa Junior College in Grand Junction, where he studied education and theatre. He completed his collegiate career by graduating from Colorado State Teacher's College in Greeley in 1954, with a Bachelor's degree in English. He took his first job as a teacher in Grand Junction, where he taught English for one year. He then moved to Puerto Rico and taught on the Naval base for about a year, when he returned to Colorado to help care for his mother. There he began teaching in Kersey, Colo. It was then that he met the love of his life, his wife, "Sandy" in 1960. They were married on Aug. 13, 1961, in Greeley, and in 1962, they were blessed with their first born, Scott. Al then got a job at Pueblo County High School in Pueblo, and in 1963, they were blessed with their second child, Tim, on Nov. 28. To supplement their income, Al took a second job putting out the Bradley Page for The Pueblo Star Journal-Chieftain newspaper, and did so for 30 years. After several years of teaching Speech Communication, he became the sponsor of the Pueblo County High School Speech and Debate Club. Al sent several students to the National Forensic Tournament, including his son, Scott. Al loved coaching the Speech and Debate teams and became affectionately known as "Uncle Al." He coached many champions at the city and state level. "Uncle Al" had a way of helping his talented students become successful students and competitors. It was not long after Al took the position at County that he began teaching humanities, which was his favorite course. It enveloped the history of philosophy, art, music and religion. He once confided that he "was able to teach more minds than any leader of any church." He often heard from former students that they had "found Christ in their lives" because of his teachings. Al was also a Sunday school teacher and preacher for the First Baptist Church of Pueblo. He taught Sunday school for more than 40 years and also served the church as a Deacon. He was a true biblical scholar during his years at the church. He was a strong leader and he would say that his true honor was "to be a truly humble servant of the Lord." After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's in the mid-90s, Al and Sandy moved to the Kansas City area where both their sons had moved several years earlier. Al continued his spiritual journey and joined the First Christian Church of Blue Springs, Mo. At FCC, he continued to learn and contribute his insights into Christianity. Even in the last years of Al's life, he continued to take part in the bible studies at the nursing homes where he resided. He loved finding insights into the life of the Lord. He lived in a Christ-like manner and touched many lives beyond his own. He believed that there was a good in everybody and was always willing to do the hard work to find it. Loved by many, Al will be missed. We rejoice in the fact that he lives on in so many lives that he touched. A Celebration of Life will be held for Al at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2017, at the First Christian Church in Blue Springs, Mo.

She is also survived by her younger sisters in Colorado, Marilyn Martinez and Alicia (Lott) Passarelli, her older siblings in Minnesota, Donald, Shawn, and Maria Martinez, her many nephews, Garrett, Christopher, Darius, Zachary, James, Jason, Justin, Candyss, and Gregory. She adored her Haigh, Martinez, Trujillo, Rodriguez, Trancoso, and Passarelli relatives as one huge extension of her enormous heart and many more family and beloved friends who she loved so much. Born in Pueblo, Colorado, Diana spent her early childhood in Colorado and was raised in Washington, Oregon, and California, but the mountains is where she loved to be the most. At only a few years old she loved to ride on her dad’s Harley and when she was five she was so determined to have her own motorcycle she collected and saved cans to pay for her first motorcycle, a red Honda 50 that she named Rhonda. She taught her little sisters to ride on that very bike when they turned five. Diana loved hunting with her dad when very young and throughout her whole life she loved her outdoor adventures and going for motorcycle rides and spending time with her mother in Stonewall, whenever she could. She was very close to her sisters and cousins in Trinidad. Diana was a well known and loved bartender in Trinidad and her second family was everyone at the Northside Tavern. She was a true heartfelt friend and kind to everyone, and never judged a person, instead she was so accepting and kind to people. She loved all animals, listening to music and dancing. One of her favorite holidays was hollowing. Diana was a beautiful person inside and out and will be sadly missed every minute of every day. Her greatest loves were her daughters, Skye and Rosie. “She was the mother of a lifetime, she always had a bright beautiful smile that shined even through a dark and gloomy day. My mom reconnected with me and my dad, which made us a family. OHANNA means family, family means no one gets left behind. I love you mom,” love, Skye Trancoso.

Trani, Silvio Theodore Silvio Theodore “Ted” Trani - Pueblo Chieftain - September 24, 2015 - Silvio Theodore “Ted” Trani, 90, passed away on Sept. 21, 2015, shortly after doing what he enjoyed, preparing “the club” for the next night’s dance. Survived by children, Christine Trani (Mike Freeborg), Dan (Cathy) Trani and Ted (Clara) Trani; grandchildren, Jen Trani, Brian Trani (Judy Marquez), Lisa (Matt) Jansson, Marc (Stephanie) Trani and Jason Hedges; great- grandchildren, Jordan, Adaleena, Ariabella, Sofia, Giuliana, Gabby, Greta and Sammy; and numerous nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by mother, Celestrini “Lena”; stepmother, Ida; father, Alessandro “Alex” Trani; sisters, Ann Costello, Connie Passera and Kay DeVencenty; brothers, Renaldo, Gordon, Anthony and Flory Trani and Joseph Marino and their beloved spouses; and loving wife of 30 years, Gina. Ted was born to Lena and Alex Trani on Oct. 23, 1924, in Lime, Colo. He grew up on the farm as a member of a large Italian immigrant family during the Depression under tough circumstances. The times didn’t begin to permit him to finish his schooling. He worked hard at several jobs, then joined and served gallantly in the U.S. Navy during WWII. Shortly after returning to civilian life, he met a beautiful young lady he would marry. Even without a formal education, he was a highly respected, successful entrepreneur largely because he was a very principled individual, who was literally “honest to a fault.” He was highly intelligent and could teach himself whatever he set his mind to. With a bit of guidance, he taught himself accounting and “kept his own books” throughout his career. He was manager at Newton Lumber and Colorado BMC before starting his own business, Trani Building Supplies/Trani Inc. (dancing, dining and more). It didn’t stop there. He turned a love of dancing, extending back to his youth, into a business of teaching dance; then, from a business to a passionate, unselfish sharing of one of life’s simple “healthy” delights enjoyed by all cultures. Ted enjoyed watching Broncos football, of course, but dancing and teaching others to dance their way to happiness and longevity was his essence and his passion. With him, dance was far more than interaction between two people moving to music; it was communication between body and soul that transcended words. He was a living testimonial to how dancing and longevity go hand in hand. Throughout his life, he had an “incalculable” number of friends and one of the things they liked the most about him was his “quippy” sense of humor. Ted was a member of the Elks and Eagles. Visitation, 4 to 6 p.m. today, in the Montgomery & Steward Chapel. Informal “wake” celebration and reception, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, at 2506 Lake Ave. Interment, Roselawn Cemetery, with Michael Marino presiding and military honors by the Pueblo Veterans Ritual Team. Memorials may be made direct to your charity of choice. Let his memory be a motivation to “get out and dance!” Tranter, Charles Charles Tranter - Chronicle News - November 17, 2010 - Charles Tranter passed away of natural causes on Tuesday, November 16, 2010, at Mt.

He took a two year leave to serve in the United States Army from 1954 to 1956 working with the Corps. of Engineers in Alaska and Arizona doing survey work and developing navigation systems that were eventually used all across the U.S. During his career with Mobil, Sharon and Charlie lived in Bismark, ND, Worland and Casper, WYO, New Orleans, LA, Houston, TX, New York, NY, Dallas, TX, and Fairfax, VA. His job titles included Exploration Manager for the Denver and Texas divisions where he was responsible for Mobil's exploration programs for the coast-to-coast and offshore northern U.S., Alaska, California, Texas, and New Mexico. During his last five years with Mobil, Charlie worked out of corporate offices in New York and Fairfax as Mobil's Chief Geologist. His responsibilities took them to all reaches of the globe. Sharon and Charlie enjoyed their retirement in Fairfax, VA until they moved to their final home in Albuquerque, NM, where they could be closer to their two kids and three grandchildren. Charlie spent the last eight months living with his son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Janna Tranter, their dog, Bella, and many wonderful caregivers (Charlie's Angels), in beautiful Trinidad, Colorado. Aside from his brilliance and passion as a geologist, his greatest accomplishments in life were his genuine and uncompromising love and devotion to God and to his wife, children, and grandchildren. Charlie is survived by his kids, Mike and Janna (Houston) Tranter of Trinidad, Colorado, Douglas and Sara (Tranter) Sandstrom of Tampa, Florida, three grandchildren, Carl Sandstrom, Patrick Sandstrom, Michael Tranter, and his sister, Grace (Tranter) Pascoff, of Louisville, Colorado.

He was raised in Pueblo, Colorado where he attended Minnequa Elementary, Keating Junior High and Central High School. He was an avid member of the Boy Scouts of America and attained the level of Eagle Scout. He graduated from Central High School in 1958 and was given a joint honor scholarship for his college education. He attended Pueblo Junior College from 1958 to 1960, and then finished his degree at the University of Colorado. He received his Chemical Engineering degree in 1962. Also, on June 9, 1962 he married Lois Jane Outhier of Beulah, Colorado. His first job was with 3M in Minnesota, but soon decided he needed to further his career by earning his Master's Degree. He attended the University of Idaho from 1963, graduating in 1965 with a Master's in Chemical Engineering. He was employed by J. M. Huber Corp. in Borger, Texas for a year and a half, and then had the opening to work for Georgia Pacific, Corp. in Oregon. Together with Lois they lived in Toledo, Oregon from 1967 to 1969 where Vince was at Georgia Pacific's pulp and paper plant. In 1969, Vince advanced to Georgia Pacific's corporate headquarters in Portland, Oregon in the newly established Environmental Department. Thinking the family would be living in the Portland area for the rest of his career, the company made the decision to move corporate headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia in 1978. So Vince and family moved to Atlanta, where they stayed for 5 years. In 1983 Vince had the opportunity to move to Plaquemine, Louisiana where he developed and implemented the Environment, Safety and Health Department. By 1983 Vince was no longer able to travel with the company due to his Multiple Sclerosis which had been diagnosed in 1974. So this was the perfect time to continue his career by managing the ESH Dept. Vince, Lois, and family lived in Plaquemine for 13 years. In 1994 Vince retired and moved to Horseshoe Bay, Texas where they built their home, became members of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, and have lived there ever since. In his younger years, Vince enjoyed fly fishing, hunting, and golf. Vince and Lois have three children: Elizabeth Rachel Tretter of Horseshoe Bay, Christopher and wife Lorri of Coeur d Alene, Idaho, and Michael and his wife Sarah and the one and only Alexis who is 7 of Austin, Texas. Vince has one sister, Marietta Joan Tretter of Comstock, Texas. We would like to thank Roni Gima, Vincent's caregiver and Tobi Vega from Texas Home Health Hospice.

Trujillo, died suddenly on October 9, 2004, while tossing a football in Washington, D.C., with his brother Troy. He was 28. The Denver resident most recently served as chief of the Personnel Management Division, J1 Directorate of Personnel for the Joint Task Force- Armed Forces Inaugural Committee (JTF-AFIC), a joint military team supporting the 55th presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C. A junior officer and solid performer, Capt. Trujillo was selected for this prestigious position after consistently demonstrating impeccable leadership, a great attitude and unlimited potential. Capt. Trujillo is survived by his wife and best friend, Sarah, whom he met at the University of Northern Colorado, and a 7-month-old son, Drew Lawrence, whom he adored. Also his parents Louis and Karen Trujillo; sister Genevieve Mattice, and brothers Troy, Brendan and Conor. His family, friends and colleagues remember him fondly. “Damon knew how to make everyone around him feel comfortable and welcome–his humor, creativity, and radiant smile drew people to him, and he had an uncanny gift of being able to capture the best of any situation and the heart of what everyone else was thinking,” said Troy Trujillo, his brother. Capt. Trujillo was born in Elk Grove, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, on August 4, 1976. He graduated from Arapahoe High School in Littleton, Colo., and from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo., with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Arts. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U. S. Air Force through the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) on Nov. 29, 1999. Capt. Trujillo’s military career began with an assignment as squadron section commander for the 57th Component Repair Squadron, 57th Wing, Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., where he quickly distinguished himself as an impeccable officer who showed genuine concern for his Airmen’s well being. He then served as the officer-in-charge of Relocations and Employments with the 11th Mission Support Squadron with the 11th Wing, known as “The Chief’s Own,” at the Pentagon from Nov. 29, 2002 to April 30, 2004. In this role he led a 22-person section in the Air Force’s most visible military personnel flight. Recognized for his stellar performance, Capt. Trujillo was handpicked for the JTF-AFIC assignment, where he led a six-person multi-service team of personnel specialists, which supported more than 710 joint service personnel. U.S. Army Col. Abbott Koehler, who delivered Capt. Trujillo’s eulogy during a memorial service at Fort Myer Memorial Chapel in Virginia, recalled an engaging and dedicated young officer. “Damon’s reputation throughout the senior JTF-AFIC leadership was as one of superior leadership, a young captain of impeccable judgment and one who possessed a rare vision and maturity for his rank,” Koehler said. “He quickly became part of my most trusted leaders in the Directorate. He was well respected by his peers and superiors,” he said. Capt. Trujillo was memorialized on Friday, October 15, at the Greenwood Chapel in Littleton, Colo. Graveside services were held Friday, October 15, 2004 at the Trinidad Catholic Cemetery. Military honors by the High Frontier Honor Guard, Peterson Air Force Base.

Turner – Walsenburg World – April 2, 1903 – Men Arrested in Denver Are Accused of Pueblo Murderers – Denver, March 28 – Two men suspected of the double murderer in Pueblo two weeks ago Sunday are confined in the city jail. They are ex-convicts and were only recently released from the reformatory. The arrest was made by City Detective John Leyden and Deputy Sheriff Granger of Pueblo and Sheriff Sipple of Boulder at the Livingston Mine near Boulder yesterday afternoon. The men made no resistance. Both have bad records. With a companion, they were arrested a year ago on the roof of a gambling house at Nineteenth and Larimer Streets, which they were preparing to rob. The men are Ross H. Brewer and Raleigh Davis and the police say they can connect them with the Pueblo crime. Davis and Brewer were sent to the reformatory from Boulder on the charge of burglary. They remained in the prison a short time and were paroled. Davis returned to Boulder and has since made that places home. A few months ago he was joined by Brewer. The men made occasional trips out of Boulder. March 17 they went to work in the Livingstone Mine. According to Deputy Sheriff Granger, Davis and Brewer were in Pueblo on the night of March 15. They were not there the next day, but were traced to Denver. Then the sheriff of Pueblo came here and with the city detectives tried to locate the men. The names of the suspects were learned and their photographs were found at the Denver police station. These pictures were sent to the witnesses of the murders in Pueblo and in every case they were identified as the murderers. The descriptions were sent to all the sheriffs in the state and when one reached Sheriff Sipple he notified the authorities of Pueblo and Deputy Granger started for Boulder, Detective Leyden accompanying. Sheriff Sipple took the deputy and the detective to the Livingstone mine and arrested the men. They were brought to Denver last night. They were taken before Chief Armstrong and put through a severe cross-questioning, but both denied complicity with the affair. They would not even admit, the chief says, that they were in Pueblo at the time of the murder and say they can prove that they were in a different part of the state. They are a sullen pair and answer questions in a dogged manner. Deputy Sheriff Granger says he is positive that Davis and Brewer were both in Pueblo the night of the murder. He also says the men who identified the photographs of the suspects are persons who are not at all likely to be mistaken. The murders in which Davis and Brewer are charged occurred in the Losteau Restaurant in Pueblo about 7:30 o’clock on the night of March 15, while the place was filled with customers. Two men entered the front door and with drawn revolvers told Mrs. Losteau, who was in charge of the cashier’s window, to hand over the money. Mrs. Losteau screamed. Among the people in the dining room were Dr. J. H. Turner and C. E. Bishop. They arose from their seats and were shot down by the robbers, who ran out of the front door and escaped. Dr. Turner was killed instantly and Bishop lived until the next morning. Davis and Brewer served time in the reformatory for robbing several stores in Boulder in January of last year. They came to Denver after committing the crimes and the police were asked to look out for them. On the night of February 18, Policeman Morley was notified that someone was on the roof of the gambling house at No. 1859 Larimer St. Morley crawled to the roof and found Davis, Brewer, and W. G. Berry. They were taken to jail, where they confessed that they were going to rob the place. Davis and Brewer were identified as the men wanted in Boulder. They were sent to that town and convicted. Berry, the police say, is now serving a sentence in the penitentiary for burglary. Davis and Brewer will be taken to Pueblo today.
