Hunt Denied Possession of Squires


[RMN, June 19, 1865, p. 3.]

Chiv Rides Coach

The June 19, 1865 Rocky is a real good one. It continues with the Browne fued -- the AG denies he was drunk while crying out in ecstasy "who's governor NOW!!" upon Evans' removal -- has another great Squires tidbit and this note on the movements of Chivington, maybe headed East for some sort of testimony, not sure. Sure does seem like a fat target crossing the plains in a civilian stage coach.

Mr. Arnett Taps In On 'Hoppers

Who's Governor Now Beeyotch

This one cracks me up. Evans removed, Browne rejoices in the streets, yelling "Who's governor now!" into the Denver night.
