Attorney HOLMAN to investigate serious
charges against the keepers at chat insti-

Ennis went TO the asylum to see him and
found him in a pitiable condition Ennis

black and blue from head TO foot, his
head cut in several places and with moth

showed where a heavy stick had made a

Mr. Thurston states as his reason that

attention, and he is therefore constrained
to foregO his ambition politically.
This move will have the effect OF
strengthening the position Of Mr.. Pad

A FRONTIER TRAPPER.

Tho Man Who Rut Two Mexican Desper-
ADDE'S to sleei-sselsips His Reward,
Deinxr Dispatch 10 n. Y Timed M lDi&
A bill will be introduced in'tho senate
tomorrow for the relief Of Thomas
Tobin, a brother-in-law OF the famous
old Kit Carson, Tobln Is about the last
OF the old trappers aud scouts who
made the frontier their homes fifty
years ago, and the bill appropriates
$500 to nay him sreward which he
earned thirtyyea ago.
The story in connection with the case
is an interesting chapter in Colorado's
early history, During the summer and
fall OF 1862 and 1868 the EspiNosas, two
Mexican desperadoes, held the counties
OF Park, Lake, Summit, Castello,, and
Conejos under a reign oil terror by a
series Of murders and acts OF lawless,
ness which have never been eXcelled
for brutality in the annals OF the west.
The inhabitants OF that part OF the
state were driven to desperation and
applied to Col. Tappan, CommandRnt OF
the United States troops ut Fort Gar
land, for protection, Col. Tappan de.
tailed Lient sChupe and company OF
men to hunt down the Espinosas. A
man who was noted for his courage was
induced to accompany them and direct
tho search.
The trail OF the desperadoes was
found in tho Sangre dc Cristo noun
tains, and after four days hunt their
camp was discovered. Their desperate
character was so well known that 1t was
deemed injudicious to try to take them
alive. Tobin accordingly made his why
through the mountains to a lonely
gulch where the outlaws had camped
for the night, after having "held up"
the Placeryille stage that morning, The
men had Just finished their supper and
were dividing their plumber.
Tobin crept as near to them ms he
thought safe, and after getting the two
in range he hailed them,in Mexican.
The robbers jumped to their feet. At
the same instant Tobin's rifle cracked
and both OF the Espanosas fell dead.
He cut OF their heads and took them to
Fort Garland in triumph, aud the
ranchmen, stockmen, anu Others OF the
San Juan, ceased to 60 about with their
lives in their hands.
Rewards, aggregating $500, had been
offered for these men, dead or alive,
but it was not until 1879 that the terri.
torial legislature passed bill allowing
Tobin $500. Twenty years have passed
since he received the fifth OF his re-
ward, and the remainder still remains
Iobin has experienced checkered
career since his famous capture, and
has been shot by Indians and outlaws
and mangled by grizzlies until he is
about ready TO be laid on the shelf.
