pected of the double murder in Pueblo

reformatory. The arrest was made by
City Detective John Leyden and Dep
uty Sheriff Granger of Pueblo and
Sheriff Sipple of Boulder at the Liv-
ingstone mine near Boulder yesterday

ance. 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 pa
rolled. Davis returned to Boulder and
has since made that place his home.
A few months ago he was Joined by
Brewer. The men made occasional
trips out OF Boulder March 18th they
went to work in the Livingstone mine.
According to Deputy Sheriff Granger
Davis and Brewer were in Pueblo on
the night OF March 18th. 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

MEN ARRESTED IN DENVER ARE
ACCUSED OF PUEBLO MURDERS

cross-questioning. but both denied
completely 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 dogged manner.
Deputy Sheriff Granger says he is
positive that Davis and Brewer were
both in Pueblo the night Of the muir
der. He also says the men who iden-
titled the photographs OF the suspects
are persons who are not at all likely to
be mistaken.
The murders with which Davis and
Brewer are charged OCCURRED In the
Losteau restaurant in Pueblo about
1880 o'clock on the night OF March 18th,
while the place was filled with custom
ers Two men entered the front door
and with drawn revolvers told Mrs.
Losteau. who was In charge OF the
cashiers window, to hand over the
money. Mrs. Losteau screamed.
Among the people In the dining room
were DR.. j. II. Turner and c. f. 3ish-
op. They arose from their seats and
were shot down by the robbers. who
ran out 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 18th Policeman Morley WIS
notified that some one was on the roof
OF the gambling house at No. 1853 Lar
inner street. Morley crawled to the
roof and found Davis, Brewer and w.
G. Berry. They were taken To jail.

going to rob the place. Davis and
Brewer were identified ns the men
wanted In Boulder They were sent 10

The state land board is preparing to
dispose of the North and Middle parks
grazing problem, which has been
avoided by successive land boards for
several years. The state owns i'm
mense tracts of land in both parks
which are valuable for grazing pur-
poses. Before the state acquired the
tracts, certain small areas were taken
up by settlers. and these holdings are
entirely surrounded. in half a dozen
instances, by the state lands. The
state has had propositions from large
cattle interests to lease these tracts
at rates which would return consider
able sums Of money. but no leases
have ever been given because it was
feared that the settlers would be en-
