GRANDDAUGHTER OF FAMOUS
HUNTER AND SCOUT LIVING HERE

Mrs. r G. Beach, OF 217 Harrison
avenue. is a granddaughter of Kit
Carson, the famous frontiersman.
trapper, hunter and scout. She is the
daughter Of young Kit Carson. who
is at present a resident of La Junta,
but was not born until long after the
death of her distinguished grand-fath-
er, who died in 1865.
Mrs. Beech was born at Higbee,
Colorado, in 1851, and was married
last June. coming to Canon City short
ly afterwards. Her husband is a
teamster employed by Al Baxter and
he takes pardonable pride in the fact
that his wife is descended from so IL
lustrious a lineage.
Young Kit Carson was born at Taos.

with his parents TO Missouri when a
small boy and lived there until he was
grown. when the allurements OF the
plains and the mountains to the west
appealed to him with Irresistible
force. Although of an unusually mod
est disposition he was as brave as

Richard the Lion Hearted, and soon
attained great influence among the
Indians and frontiersmen on that ac-
count. II is said that Kit Carson's
company with a train load OF overland
emigrants in the early days was as
good a protection from the Indians as
a squadron OF United States cavalry.
Kit Carson died at Fort Lyon, Col
orado. when only fifty-nine years of
age and was buried there. A couple
OF months later, however, his body
was exhumed and taken to Taos. New
Mexico, where 1t now rests, An agi-
;ation has recently been going on
among the people of Trinidad in this
state to again disinter his remains and
take 10 that city for interment. but
considerable opposition was develop
ed and the matter has been dropped
for the present. al least.
Kit Carson, Sr.. has three surviving
children. Mrs. Allen of La Junta,
Young Kit Carson of La Junta, and
Charles Carson of Higbee. Colorado.
Mrs. Beach and her husband have

IL the walks were cleaned of they

wonder If this is the reason for the
falling of from one to five hundred

Now as every good citizen should
love their home town and try to make

sport is anticipated by the promoters

little doubt that the requisite number

the affair an extremely interesting
one.
Coyotes are reported to be unusual

winter and packs OF a dozen or fifteen
OF them have been frequently seen
there during the last few weeks. They

THE
PEOPLE SHOULD
ALL HEED

Warden lyman has requested The
Daily Record to ask the citizen of Can
on City and vicinity not to leave
clothing or wearing apparel OF any
kind in barns or out-buildings away
from dwelling houses. The case with
which the convict who recently es-
capped from the stone quarry pro-
cured an accumulation of clothing in
a very brief time. indicates that there
is an abundance of such apparel In
the barns and outhouses at various
places, and Warden lyman urges citi-
zens to make disposition OF their cast
on clothing in a way to prevent night
providers, or escaping convicts from
having easy access to 1t.
AS a precautionary measure we
think the suggestion should be heed
ed and we hope that every one who
reads this article will comply with the
warden's wishes In the matter both
for their own protection and for the
security OF society in general. and to
discourage attempts at escape on the
part OF prisoners.
