mi THEIR LIVES
BONANZA GOLD PLACER AREA
NEAR LEADVILLE WAS MEC
CA HISTORY TELLS
LEADVILLE, Colo. Nov., 18, (JP)
The most serious public distur
bance during the ’60 when Califor
nia gulch was at the height of its
placer-gold output and prosperity,
was that caused by a number of
mysterious murders perpetrated on
the several roads leading to the
gulch. Men were found dead on all
of the more frequented routes, and,
notwithstanding the most strenu
ous efforts on the part of the ter
ritorial and national governments,
no trace of the murderers could be
discovered.
The Civil War was then at its
height and it was at first supposed
that a band of Confederate guerril
lns was operating in the vicinity.
Finally, when all other means had
failed, a company of men was raid
ed in the gulch and sent out to
scout for the assassins.
It was only a few days before they
struck the trail and, following it up
rapidly, they came up to two men,
Mexicans, cammed in a ravine, and
evidently in hiding. Close inquiries
were seldom made on the frontier
in such cases, and without attempt
ing a nearer acquaintance with the
men whose trail had been hotly fol
lowed from the scene of the last
murder, the scouts opened fire.
One of the murderers was
brought down at the first fire, but
even in his death agony he man
aged to raise himself up sufficient
ly to discharge a last shot at his
assailants. His companion escaped
by clambering up the side of a ra
vine amid a storm of bullets.
From papers found in the camp,
it was learned that the victims of
the two men numbered not fewer
than 40.
The murderer who made his es
cape was subsequently killed by a
half-br^cd who cut off his head
and took it to Governor Gilpin, re
ceiving the promised reward.
The men were cousins, named
Espinosa, and from certain memo
randa found upon their persons, it
was ascertained they had de
clared war upon the United States
'because of certain legal proceed
ings instituted against them for
!the non-payment of taxes.
' Their career is one of the most
instate "S OH I*eC01'd Of
the terrorizing of entire commun
ity iwo ixicn, u.-.uuded and de

and thorough knowledge of a diffi
cult mountain country, says the
Herald-Democrat.
