as much history as any man in Washing

Gilbert, who was editor of the Atd- Cdlffor-

copied the challenge, though he knew that
Gilbert was a deadly shot. The
weapons were rifles and Denver re-

A number Of governors had tried to con-

this the officers who were sent west to
organize the county seat of Arapahoe
county failed to turn up and
Governor Denver was asked to
appoint men in their places.
Colorado was then a part of Kansas.
and when Denver found party
of men whom he knew going out to Pixies
Peak he gave them the authority to select
a county seat. These men chose the site of
Denver and named it after him. In the
papers organizing the town they donated
him one of the original shares of it. and
had Denver been able TO have gotten this
it would have been worth fortune. The
rascally Judge, however, who handled the
papers erased General Denver's name and
put IN his own, and the result was that the
general got nothing but the honor He is,
