marks in the diocese of Denver has
passed into history. The little old MeXi-
can church built over sixty years ago

place of the "penitentes," a fanatical
MeWcan sect The JesuIts built the
church when they were working
among the Indians. The site had been
an Indian burying ground. The little
structure is now being razed, the city

sand and gravel for the construction
of streets.
