A young man named Raleigh
Staples was burned to death last
week In a cabin on the Logan ranch,
a mile west of Gunnison. He went to
bed about 10:30 p. m and the origin
of the fire will never be known, as he
was alone in the cabin. The cabin
was built of heavy logs and the posi-
tion OF the body when taken from the
ruins indicates that he had tried to
escape. He was probably hindered in
this by the heavy roof falling on him.
