November 30, 1895 "J. W. Plummer, a man 64 years of age, and F. J. Eaton,
both of Yuma, Colo., have been sentenced to a term of three years each
in the penitentiary, the former for killing several cattle and the latter for killing one pig. Yuma justice evidently recognizes no difference between a big thief and a little one."

born June 1875 in Massachusetts, married three years to Myrtle July 1870 Illinois, with Helen Oct 1898 COlorado.
