cIsaARRoN

The city editor Of the News spent a
week at the little city of Cimarron, and
while there learned many things %
corning the early history of the town.
In the old town is the 81. James Hotel,
owned by Henry Lambert. Mr.. Lambert
went to Cimarron in 1867, when there
was so much talk of the great gold
find on Badly. The -. James Hotel
Is one Of the old landmarks and il sur.
rounded by n beautiful grove Of boa,
elders. Near the Hotel In the court
house that was used when Cimarron was
the county seat Of Colfax county. The
building is adobe, and is in a very good
state Of preservation. Not far from
the court house is the county Jail. The
walls are Of native stone and two feet
thick. The inner cell is still in good
condition. Part Of the outer walls have
been torn down. About a half mile west
of the town is the cemetery where Rev
Toby is buried. Marble stone marks his
grave bearing this inscription'J. r. Toby
bearing this inscription, ~. +. Toby,
assassinated September Ia, 1874, aged
10 years" Rev. Toby was a Methodist
minister who was preaching at Cimar.
ron aud Elizabethtown. He had incur.
red the displeasure of some of the citi.
zens Of the community, and they EN-.
ployed some Mexicans to kill him. As
his custom, he went to ,Elizabethtown 10
preach on a certain Sabbath and on his
return the following day was shot in
the back. His body was found four DAYS
later in the little creek which now bears
his name. about seven miles from Ute
Park. He was buried at Cimarron. The
masons have built n stone fence around
his grave. Opposite the 81. James
stands the old Maxwell houses, surround.
ed by n beautiful rove. In this grove
the barbecue was served on the Fourth.
The old stone mill, three stories high,
that was built more than fifty years ago
is still standing, and looks as il il would
stand a thousand years IL not disturbed
by the hand of man. Since the coming
Of the railroad, n new town is being
built north oil the railroad and about
a half mile from the old town. In new
Cimarron shere are large dry goods
houses, groceries, hardware houses, a
National bank, in opera house, two or
three fine hotels, meat markets, and in
fact every line OF trade is well repre-.
scented. Modern up~.to-aate residences
are being built, and the city Of today
is a hustling, wide awake business place.
The location for a city is an ideal one.
II is almost surrounded by beautiful
mountains. and the Cimarron river runs
through the city affording an abundance
of pure mountain water. Not far from
the city are beautiful mountain lakes
where one who loves fishing can spend
a week 10 his hearts delight. There
are FIVE or six lovely mountain streams
within half a days drive, and these
streams are the home Of the speckled
beauties. Within n days ride can be
found plenty Of deer and bear. Wild
Turkeys and mountain grouse are also
plentiful.
