The Pueblo Star is rather severe on

“In Steve Elkins’ enumeration of his demo
cratic relatives he forgot to mention the fact that
he was, like his good old father, a red-hot rebel,
and only turned republican for pay. Both Steve
and Tom Catron were confederate soldiers. It
seems to be forgotten entirely by the fiery knight
of the waving plume that his chief lieutenant
was a rebel soldier. It is a wonder that James O.
