Never mind that" interrupted the
beachcomber, embarrassed. Save your
breath for the walk. Are you ready?"
SLOWLY, Lamar leaning heavily on his
new-found friend. they set off toward
the hotel. Ten minutes later, they were
IN MaXs own room; and Mike was
casing the injured man carefully down
into a chair. AS he did so, their eyes
met full in the glare of the electric
light above them.
The beachcomber started violently

He turned and made as though to leave

Lamar stared after him; bewilder-

]. C. PALMER A
PIONEER OF COLORADO

John c. Palmer of 1912 Whipple
avenue is pioneer of Colorado and
has been Identified with its affairs
for more than half century; a period
considerably longer than the average
life of mankind Mr.. Palmer first
came to Canon City in May. 1860. but
remained only for short time as he
was on his way to California Gulch,
now Leadville. to engage in mining.
He prospected in what is at present
Lake county and then went to min
ing camp on Tarryall creek in Park
county. Later he made his way to
Bakers park, now Silverton, and de-
voted himself to mining in that sec
ton of the state Subsequently he
returned to Canon City; making the
journey across a country in which
there were no roads at that time, and,
in many places, no trails, to guide
the traveller to his destination. In
some localities he was compelled to
make a road by cutting down trees.
removing boulders. etc.
July 9Th, 1861 Mr.. Palmer went to
Tarryall creek on a prospecting trip
for the second time and remained in
Park county for several months. In
August, 1864 he Joined Company X
of the Third Colorado cavalry on
account of the Indian troubles and
continued in the military service for
four months and a half; protecting
settlers. guarding. stage lines and in
maintaining peace among the red
skins. Mr.. Palmer was married on
March 10th. 1875. TO Miss Kate Sapp
OF Kansas and both are now residing
in this city where they are enjoying
in modest and quiet manner. the
fruits of useful, and. at times, a
strenuous life
Mr. Palmer was always an enthusi-
astic stockman and he devoted many
years to livestock. especially TO hors-
es and cattle. than which there is no
better judge than be in Fremont
county Mr.. Palmer gave a great deal
OF attention TO the breeding and de
yelopment of running horses and was
known far and wide as the owner of
some of the best stock of that kind
In the west His relay horses ana
their racing had an established repu-
tation among turfmen thruout the
state and many blue ribbons were
taken by them on the race courses of
Colorado and adjoining states.
Mr.. Palmer lived in Colorado six
teen years before it was admitted as
a state TO the Union and when 1t was
part of Kansas.
