The Last Hand

Class reunions bring back memories Attending a class reunion is an emotional experience.

It is like turning the clock back decades and comparing your life to that of your peers’.

There is nothing quite like going back to a high school re- By Bob Sweeney union and seeing how everyone has aged — including yourself.

It’s funny how everyone looks older than you.

As a male, we remember those cute high school cheerleaders who have now become gray-haired mothers. Conversely, they remember us as those skinny young men who now have protruding beer bellies and balding spots.

My class reunion last week started with the first woman I met asking me, “Do you know who I am?” To which I replied, “No I don’t, tell me your name?” It turned out I had only known her for decades, but the gray hair and wrinkles just betrayed my memory.

Fortunately our class mentor, B.J., has maintained class records for decades and keeps us all in touch. How embarrassing to have to look at a nametag to remember the

name of the person whom you attended school with for 12 years.

Reunions follow a pattern that starts several months before the event. The routine starts with thinking about losing a few pounds so you’ll look better for your classmates.

For women, maybe a new outfit, and men a new shirt, maybe a new pair of shoes, belt, haircut — have to look good for my old friends.

We judge many people by the cars that they drive, some will park the new car by the front door or the old lizzy around in back.

About the second day of the reunion one realizes that all of the cosmetic things don’t really matter any more. No one really cares about cars, clothes, weight; it is now about health issues, grandchildren, vacation trips, jobs and retirement.

The old friends tend to gravitate together once again — just like in school. You find yourself sitting at a table with many of your familiar friends, the same groups start to form once again and age starts to melt away.

There is that face and person who you spent years with in school side-by-side, locker-bylocker.

By the third and last event, the tears start to form, and emotional contacts have been made again. Some with serious medical

$2,500 U Re R e S A T E N U R H T Progressive GUARANTEED

challenges say “goodbye” and they really mean it. This is their last class reunion and we share the sadness together for a few departing minutes.

We had a moment of silence for the classmates that are gone — who died from military service, cancer, car accidents, the leading cause of death, and drug, alcohol and tobacco abuse.

One comes home from a class reunion drained mentally from the harshness of life itself. Comparing one’s path with that of others and seeing our weaknesses and strengths.

Living is a tough challenge for everyone and we all do the best that we can. Some of us have been blessed with education and job opportunities, others with work skills and years in the same faithful occupation. Most of us made it to this reunion, one way or another.

At the end of the day, after the class reunion is over, the thought comes to mind that, “It is what it is.”

I could have done better, but I sure could have done worse.

If you miss a class reunion, don’t care, or just are not interested, that is too bad.

You can never make it up again and it is a great wakeup call www.coloradogambler.com to make the most of every day that we all have left.

L

uck is never in short supply at Lady Luck Casino. In July alone, Lady Luck paid out $748,325.90 in Jackpots!

And the luck doesn’t stop there, on Aug. 30, Lady Luck will be sending one lucky winner home in style with a Lincoln MKC or $25,000 in cash in our Just Your Style giveaway.

The fun begins at 2 p.m. with $500 hourly drawings where seven lucky winners will be taking home cash. Fun and excitement reach a fever pitch at 6 p.m. when three lucky winners will be drawn.

One will win the car or $25,000 and the other two winners will take home $500 apiece. The hourly drawings for $500 resume from 7 – 9 p.m.

It is simple to enter. Lady Luck members receive one free entry daily and additional entries for every 100 unadjusted earned points.

Better yet, on Mondays, players receive two times the entries. Must be present to win, so make plans to be here on Saturday, Aug. 30, and see if this promotion is Just Your Style.

On Mondays and Wednesdays, those who are 40 years old or better qualify for Lady Luck’s Club 40. Club 40 players automatically receive 4X point on slots and 2X video poker and once you earn 25 unadjusted points receive a $10 food credit in Otis & Henry’s.

In addition to Club 40, Thursdays in August present a fun and solvable mystery for any club player with Mystery Multiplier. Play-

ers need only to swipe their card at one of Lady Luck’s Player Kiosks and play the Mystery Multiplier game in which the player gets to select an X on the screen. Once selected the X will reveal your point multiplier. Then play and watch your points increase.

On Saturday, August 23 from 4 – 10 p.m., players have the opportunity to play Bonus High Low. Two lucky winners will be drawn each half hour. Players receive one free entry on Saturday and can earn additional entries for every 100 unadjusted points earned on their Lady Luck players card.

Much like the well-loved game show, Card Sharks, winners in Bonus High Low will be shown five, face down cards. The first card will be flipped and the winner must decide if the next card is higher or lower than the card before it. Each winner is guaranteed to take home at least $50, but could take home $500 if they play their cards right.

Fridays are HOT. Every Friday in August, starting at 2 p.m. and lasting until 10 p.m., three lucky club players will be selected hourly to play in Lady Luck’s Hot Wheel of

Players receive one free entry on Tuesdays and can earn additional entries for every 50 unadjusted points earned on their Lady Luck players card. Three lucky winners will be drawn each hour and will have an opportunity to toss a football at a team gnome of their choice. Each gnome is worth a cash prize amount ranging from $25-$250. And as always, everyone is a guaranteed winner.

With all the cash prizes Lady Luck awards its winners, one might be

wondering how to get in on the action. Simply stop by Guest Services at Lady Luck, present your ID, and join. Then play $10 and receive a $20 credit in Otis & Henry’s. Give us your email address and we will email $10 good on your next visit.

And get READY because FANtastic changes are in store for our club players this September.

Capable of making cappuccinos, lattes and espressos in everyone’s favorite flavors, Otis & Henry’s is now able to provide guests with a one of a kind coffee drinking experience.

Not to mention, those delightful coffees pair well with Otis & Henry’s Triple Berry Tart a la Mode or Homemade Cheesecake. Taking an afternoon coffee break never seemed so heavenly as it does at Lady Luck.

If one would rather have a meal before dessert, Otis & Henry’s can also handle those requests.

Each week from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., the restaurant offers “Blue Plate Specials” for $6.99. Daily specials include well-loved favorites such as: blackened prime rib sandwiches on Mondays, taco salads on

It had definite omen for success when I looked at start-stop times and the winner was my first hand and it was 10-2, a hand chosen by secret ballot.

on the river; I was now double the starting chip stack when the event began. Then, as is almost always the case, I went card-dead slowly bleeding off chips until I was out. I made it halfway through the field of 2,100, which was little consolation. That night we had a nice dinner and saw the “Rat Pack Revisited”, an entertaining musical romp with singers recreating the early 1960’s shows of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Junior, Joey Bishop and the like. If you enjoy that kind of music – and their comedy – it’s a show not to miss next time you’re there.

The second event entered was a $1,000 NLHE event, again with just over 2,000 entries. I called a modest bet with 3-3 intending to either fit or fold after the flop; well, the flop brought a low straight draw. I figured all the other players had higher cards, so I elected to call the first bet to see what the turn brought. Nothing – no one bet so we saw the river with me needing a three for trips or Ace or six to complete my straight. A

lovely six on the river completed my hand beating 8-8 and piling chips in my stack. Before the dinner break – six hours into the event – my A-K suited brought me close to a double up and I went to dinner feeling good about my positioning. After dinner sometime later I found myself with A-A so I made a large raise wanting no callers; I got one. I went all-in, he called revealing J-J and we ended splitting up the blinds when the board came a flush in which neither of us had suited cards! Phooey – what are the odds of that happening?

I busted out of the second event after flopping top pair, top kicker and seeing the small blind waking up to A-A. No improvement to my hand so I made that long walk back to the room. We took a day off to recoup and drove down to Henderson to see my aunt & uncle who live there. My uncle likes to play on-line – which is now legal for Nevada residents (!)

And my nephew fancies himself a pro at the under $100 buy-in tournaments held almost every day in

Cemetery Crawl set for Aug. 23

By Linda Jones

n Saturday, Aug. 23, the pioneers buried in the Knights of Pythias cemetery above Central City will share their tales of life on earth in the 19th century. This year’s Cemetery Crawl, the 26th produced by Gilpin History, features such well-known residents as the Magor, Rohling, Neno and Quiller families. Also featured are the hard-working miners and their wives who made homes in this wilderness but never made the pages of the local papers, such as Fred Rowe, Levinia Champion, Andrew Hohn, Richard Bowden and others with unique life-stories. Actors in vintage clothing will make these pioneers come to life during the Crawl.

The Crawl begins at 11 a.m. Free parking is available at the Teller House parking lot in Central City and free round-trip transportation from there to the cemetery and back is being provided by members of the Colorado Knights of Pythias lodge.

If you would prefer to drive to the cemetery, follow Eureka Street past the Opera House to the top of the

any number of casinos. I guess the deep-stack tourneys at the Bellagio and Venetian still intimidate him.

One doesn’t get better by going after worse players; one improves by going up against stiffer competition and better players.

My third and final event found me getting closer to the money than I ever had in a WSOP event. I made it to about 290th place out of 2,200 entries where 218 were paid. Again I had a good hand with which I went all-in and for the second time in as many events found the small blind waking up with A-A! Another long trudge down the corridor of gloom; oh, well – there’s always next year.

If you’ve never been to the WSOP, be sure to make the journey someday. Even if you never play a tournament the side action is great – I did make enough back to just about pay for my entry fees and the trip costs.

Perhaps I should have stuck to live action and let the tourneys go – hmmm…a thought for next year? See ya there.

of the tombstones are works of art.

Cost of the Crawl is $10 in advance, $12 at the cemetery, with children younger than 12 free.

Because of the popularity of the Crawl, attendees should plan to arrive 15 – 20 minutes before it begins. To order an armband in advance or to ask questions, call 303-582-5283 any day other than Monday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The Pythians are celebrating the 150th anniversary this year of the founding of the lodge by Justus Henry Rathbone on Feb. 19, 1864, in Washington D..C; it was the first fraternal organization chartered by an Act of the U.S. Congress.

The principles of the Knights are Friendship, Charity and Benevolence; Pythians believe one way to happiness is through service to mankind and that friendship is an essential ingredient in life. The Black Hawk lodge was instituted on Jan. 30, 1875, and the Central City lodge, May 1, 1875.

The popular Great Central City Beer Fest, featuring many Colorado craft breweries, flows on Main Street following the Crawl, and participants wearing their armbands from the Crawl will receive a $10 discount at the Beer Fest.

New Mexico.

This southern area of the sacred ancestral Ute land is all that remain today of the once vast lands of the Ute nation. It is here that the Weeminuche tribe, under Chief Ignacio, and the Capote and Moache Bands, under the leadership of Chief Ouray and Buckskin Charlie, fought to retain their land and their way of life.

Ignacio, born in 1828 in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado’s southwestern mountain range, grew up in a turbulent time among his people. Tribal history states that at the age of 14, Ignacio had killed all the members of a rival family to avenge the murder of his father. As he grew to manhood, his steadfast commitment to his people and their way of life gained him an honored respect among the Weeminuche.

At the age of 42, Ignacio became chief of the Weeminuche Ute tribe.

With maturity, he became more of a diplomat, yet remained absolute in retaining his ancestral lands. A skilled negotiator, he gained the respect of government officials during treaty discussions. Ignacio’s testimony before a U.S. Senate subcommittee in 1886 helped the Weeminuche people to eventually secure a favorable land settlement to retain a portion of their ancestral homeland.

By 1895, the U.S. government deeded the Southern Ute reservation land to the Southern Ute Tribe, with an added incentive. The government offered an option of allotments. The land soon became a checkerboard reservation when the un-allotted land was sold to non-Indians.

However, Chief Ignacio opposed the allotments. Fighting for his people, their tribal lands and traditional way of life, he refused to allow the federal government to divide ownership of his ancestral lands among his people. Through his steadfast efforts, Ignacio was instrumental in retaining collective ownership of the land in 1917. His leadership helped the Utes preserve dignity and hope in the face of unrelenting change at the dawn of a new era. The town of Ignacio is named in his honor.

A young spirited warrior of the Tabeguache Ute Tribe, Ouray’s experiences as a youth were much the same as Ignacio’s. As he watched the slow but steady influx of the white men into his sacred homeland, he

became alarmed for his people and decided to do what he could. The government had ordered prospectors to stay away from the San Juan country, but to no avail. With the onslaught of the miners, the Tabeguache Ute Indians began a war... a war with words against the United States government. A keen, observant man, Ouray understood the extreme differences between the Indian and White Man. He formed friendships and struck deals. In 1860, his lead- with the government. It can be said ership earned him the honor of chief that no overt actions or depredations against the white population of his tribe.

Under the council of Ouray, Buckskin Charlie continued to work for peace. He would spend the rest of his life serving his people with peaceful actions and negotiations

Trail’s End

Dead Man’s Canyon Tobin stops Espinosa brothers murderous rampage

T

he Little Fountain Creek flows a quiet, gentle stream of clear Rocky Mountain water south into a canyon, meeting with Turkey Creek, approximately 12 miles south of Colorado City.

A canyon that has forever been known as Dead Man’s Canyon, for it was in this canyon that one of the first known victims of the horrific Espinosa brothers met a horrible end. And it is in this canyon that legends and mystery have abounded ever since.

In the spring 1863, the settlers and townsfolk from Colorado City to Florissant were terrorized by a couple of thugs who took on a crazed notion of revenge and retribution against all white settlers. Fear spread throughout the area as random killings continued with no knowledge of the killers. With no telegraph lines, news was slow and added to the fear surrounding the area.

All the killings were the same.

The naked corpse sprawled on the muddy blood soaked ground, hacked to death, and the skull cracked open. For those who discovered the remains, it was beyond belief. Then the shocking news reached the area that another murder had occurred in the area now known as Dead Man’s Canyon, and that the murder was in the same manner as the others. What struck the community to the core of their fear was that this victim was one of their own. Area law enforcement went on high alert.

William Bruce was well respected in the community, running a sawmill not far from the first killings. His wife reported him missing when he did not return from a business meeting. His body, found in the canyon, was shot full of bullets. Powder burns suggested close range fire, and his chest was hacked with an axe.

And a third murder in the canyon occurred not two weeks later.

The naked and mutilated body of Henry Hawkins, an elderly reclusive man, was found on the banks

of Little Fountain Creek, near Dead Man’s Canyon. Within two days, the lawmen knew who they were after. Tracking them would become another matter.

Felipe Nerio Espinosa and his brother Vivian Espinosa had been terrorizing the San Luis Valley since 1860. It became apparent to the law officials that the murderous brothers had moved north with these recent killings, and were now extracting their vengeance among settlers in the Ute Pass area. The evidence piled up; the murders were the same; all were shot, and brutally hacked with an axe. Yet none of the victim’s belongings were taken.

Meanwhile, as the authorities were trailing these murderous outlaws, another murder rocked the Florissant area. The mail carrier came into Florissant at high-neck speed and horrific panic. He reported the finding of John Addleman’s body, a member of the Florissant community, lying near the house at his ranch west of the Platte River, just a few miles from the present town of Florissant. Addleman was the son of a Supreme Court Justice from Pennsylvania, and well respected in the entire area. While the community prepared for his funeral, the lawmen hit the outlaw’s new trail.

From Florissant, the trail went to the South Park area and into Park County. Local law enforcement worked continuously on the case, learning many facts, although the case by now was handled in Park County.

The vindictive Espinosa brothers had declared war against all Anglos and in less than a year, they had ambushed and killed 22 persons, from Canyon City, north to the South Park region. In the pursuit of the murderers, one of the Espinosa’s was killed, but a cousin took his place and their vendetta continued as six more victims fell before their guns.

The murderers were now thought to be retreating south via Ute Pass country, back to the New Mexico Territory. As the news came into Florissant and the authorities continued the case, fear gripped the entire area. People kept close

Those in town kept a watchful eye out for strangers or unusual conditions.

Following the Espinosa brothers south, the lawmen were too late to prevent the murder of a man and his wife on La Veta Pass. Perhaps out of desperation, Col. Sam Tappen, commanding officer at Fort Garland, and Territorial Gov. Evans, called on Tom Tobin, an experienced scout and expert tracker

in the area to help in stopping the Espinosa reign of terror. Tobin was offered a reward of $2,500 to track down the murderous gang. He was given a full militia, but insisted on tracking the vicious killers alone, taking only three military men as backup.

Tobin followed their trail from the site of the 28th victim for three days, leading into the Sangre de Cristo mountains. He ambushed the deadly trio in a meadow and

methodically shot them one by one.

The leader, Vivian Espinosa was not dead, so Tobin slit his throat, decapitating him. Tobin then cut off the head of Espinosa’s nephew, and placed both heads in a gunnysack. Tobin brought the heads to Gov. Evans in Denver, as proof to collect his reward.

He never received the reward, but was given a fine rifle at an honorary dinner.
