1918 Pueblo

May 1919 Pueblo "James Livesey, who recently sold his ranch to M. C. Johnson, leaves for England the first of the week. He expects to be gone about three months."

1921 Pueblo "The well known Livesey ranch, nine miles west of this city, will become a state penitentiary farm within the next 24 hours, according to statements of creditable citizens of Pueblo, made yesterday. It was given out that the agreements are all made, and tuat it is expected the deeds conveying tho property to the state will reach the office of the Pueblo county clerk today.
In this ranch there are 2,300 acres. 600 of which are under irrigation with a Bessemer ditch right dated 1866 and exempt forever from ditch company assessments because of arrangements the original owner mado with the ditch company at the time the intake was constructed on the property. Both tho Rio Grande and tho Santa Fo railways run thru the ranch and there are flag stations there; also there is a main highway leading thru the ranch from Pueblo to Canon City and other points. Besides the 600 acres of fine farming lands there are 1700 acres of grazing land, much of which can be made into beautiful foothills parks. It is considered an ideal for a state farm, and a wonderful bargain at $35,000. a fine boulevard will be built, it is suggested, all the way from the penitentiary at Canon City to the ranch and then on to Pueblo. A number of convicts are already on the farm, and with the transfer of title it is supposed that a large number will be stationed there. Several years ago the ranch was bought by Morris Johnson of this city from James Livesey, who some time thereafter returned to his childhood home in England. Some time later Mr. Johnson sold the property to a cattle company, which failed to make good on account of the sudden decline in the price of livestock; It then reverted to Mr. Johnson who sold It to Walter H. Evens of Jefferson county. Mr. Johnson was yesterday asked for confirmation of the deal with the state, with which it was said he was familiar, and he replied that it had not yet actually been all closed up, but did not deny the statement made by others familiar with the state transaction, that the agreement with the state officials is perfected and that they looked for right away for record in this county. land known as tha ranch is described in tracts located in sections 34, 36. in twp. ?? ??, ?? in twp. 21; 9. 12. 13 in twp. 21; 34 in twp. 20, all in range 66. This ranch will furnish the state almost ns many irrigated acres as did the Avondale section sold to private parties several years ago, but It will furnish almost four times as many Also It is sufficiently isolated to he of no objection to neighbors as was the case at Avondale. and that those In rharre of it will not be hampered by surroundings. Further it will have the perfect transportation facilities at its command, and is conveniently located geographically between the penitentiary and the metropolis of southern Colorado"
