MUTINY At THE PEN
OF NO CONSEQUENCE

The reports current ON the public
streets here last Saturday and sub
sequently published in the Pueblo
newspapers of an alleged mutiny at
the penitentiary were grossly exaggsr-
mated. and, for the most part. had no
substantial basis of fact. Last Fri
day morning Robert Burke. who es-
capped from the road making camp In
Weld county some twelve or four
teen months ago and was recently re-
captured in Philadelphia and brought
back here TO complete his term, en-
deavored TO raise disturbance in
the dining room and was picked up by
one Of the guards. carried to the cell
house and locked mp. Nobody but
Burke was implicated in the trouble
and there was nothing to indiczte that
any of his fellow prisoners were in
sympathy with him in his refusal 20
obey the laws OF the institution. The
matter was not deemed to be Of suf-
ficient Importance to he worth report
ing to the warden.

mittees were appointed to look after
the many details required 10 insure

bility of this undertaking, we feel that
we have the right to ask and to ex-
pect the hear:y cooperation of every
true and loyal American citizen in this
community in making it splendid
suce-s.
We hope every organized body of
men and women in the community
will respond to our invita- ion to take
part as an organization in the observ-
ance of this day. We trust that al
citizens will at least POSTPONE their
private pleasures until the afternoon
of that day. and 10 n wi h US in doing
honor to the brave deten6 ers of our
country, both living and dead, and in
honor of their own loved ones who
have passed on to the Great Beyond

to each individual citizen what it
means to our nation-the day we
honor our soldier dead.
