II then remained for the Utes, the
lordly claimants Of all they surveyed
from the loftiest peaks of the Rocky
Mountains to enact the last bloouy
tragedy-the massacre Of Major Thorn
burg and twenty-three Of his men at
Milk Creek and the murder Of A, {.
Meeker and eleven of his employees at
the White River Agency in 1873 This
resulted in their removal by the Gov
eminent a year later from the state,
and thus the hostile savage passed for
ever from his native heath to a new
wilderness in the farther West The
Southern Utes, a peaceabe and semi

TRADERS, HUNTERS, TRAPPERs'
That period Of the century just
passed which interviewed between the
heroic exploits Of Lieut., Zebulon Pike
IN 1906 and the appearance Of the adj
vance guard Of the pioneer army OF
SO is fraught with events and scenes
Of thrilling interest, though having only
a remote connection with the wonder
ful revelations Of the present day. 1t
was the day and time Of the trader
the hunter and trapper. First came
the agents and employees Of the fur
companies, who participated in and be-
came a part Of the savage life Of the
wilderness. In passing away they left
no monument or landmark, or scarce
~ a record Of their presence, Next
came the hunters, trappers and traders
These men left an indellble record Of
their daring adventures and miraculous
deeds. They laid, in fact, the founda-
don for the tragic romance Of Western
life as we read II in books Of fiction
or witness its thrilling reproduction up
on the mimic stage, This record recalls
the hazards the hardshlps and the wild
adventures Of the old Santa Fe Trail
whereupon the merchant caravan was
the forerunner Of the railways in the
commerce Of the great West, and II
again brings to view the old stockades
and forts-those primitive places Of
refuge and defense for the traveller and
the trader against overwhelming num-
bers Of the savage men OF the plains
Associated with the scenes and Gil
cumstances Of these times are the hon
ored names Of Kit Carson, the Bents
the St. Vrains, Lupton, Fitzpatrick,
Sublette, Wooton, Beckworth, Goodaia
Virgins, Baker, Bridger, old Bill Will
liams and many others forming the
community Of hunters, traders and
trappers. These men we're characters
in the country then known only as a
part Of the Louisiana Purchase. Most
Of them were soldiers in the Mexican
war, A few Of them lived 10 become
citizens Of the Territory and state Of
Colorado, and one Of them. Oliver =.
Virgins, the only known survivor Of
the free trappers-is still resident Of
Denver, and, at the ripe age of 81 years,
is In public service and active in the
performance Of his duties. He was an
