For the sake of you and your loved ones you should be able to identify who your enemies are. Now of course we don't want any enemies. But life is not perfect. And it doesn't really matter how nice you are, someone will find a problem with you.

Everyone wants to be likes. Most people don't really want problems, but problems can follow you. There are those who will hold personal grudges. There are those that look for prey. They like to make people their victims. Learn how to define these types so you can help protect yourself and your family.

Now here we have the Grudge Holders. These people are some of the easiest to identify. These are the people that you have somehow upset. You may have said or done something that they didn't like. No matter how hard you might try you can not please everyone. This may include an ex that you got rid of. A former best friend . An ex-employee . People that hold personal grudges are sore losers and can become very spiteful enemies.

Next we come to the Back-stabbers . Now these are some of the hardest enemies to identify because they hide their true intentions. You ever heard the song "Smile in your face, all the time they wanna take your place". Their bright smiles and hand shakes will fool you. These people see someone that they considers better than them and start plotting their fall. They will not confront you. Rather they will sabotage you behind your back with lies.

Bullies are not always the big, scary guy that picks on the weaklings. These are people that use their intelligence, money and authority to cause intimidation. They like to push around those they feel are not "adequate" to them. Bullies can resort to blackmail, intimidation and power tripping. But bullies will not go head to head with those who are equal or more superior to them. They are cowards.

Bigots and Racists are intolerable. Everyone have their own beliefs but bigots are loudmouth and aggressive because you don't share their beliefs. They will put you down and try to belittle you. Racists are ignorant enemies who don't like someone because of their race. America is the melting pot of the world with all different ethnicities. Racists will attack with words and sometimes even violence.

Finally we come to the Criminals.These are the rapists, murderers, robbers, and con men of the world. They kill, rape and steal for what they want. They look to cause physical and emotional pain to their victims. Their goal is to harm you and your family. Help protect yourself and them. People who are out to hurt you and loved ones should be treated as enemies.

Pepper Spray (Oleoresin Capsicum or OC) is a naturally occurring substance derived from the oily resins in cayenne and other types of pepper. The active ingredient of Pepper Spray is produced below the stem of the pepper.

Pepper Spray is an inflammatory agent so contact with the eyes, nose and throat will cause immediate but temporary blindness and uncontrolled coughing and wheezing, cutting off all but breathing for life support. It can also cause nausea. Pepper Spray is non-toxic and non-lethal and the attacker will recover completely without any permanent harmful effects

OC is an oily substance and not very soluble in water so if the Pepper Spray gets on you, don't touch your eyes and or rub the affected area. If you do rub you're just going to make the effects last longer. Just rinse the area with cold water for up to 5 minutes or more and be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with something to remove the oily resin. Baby shampoo is a good choice.

Many people have heard of the term SHU in regards to Pepper Spray but what does it mean? Scoville Heat Units (SHU's) measure the 'hotness' of peppers. The higher the SHU number, the hotter the pepper, so a sweet bell pepper has an SHU rating of 0 while a hot cayenne pepper used can have an SHU rating of over 5 million. Most Pepper Sprays on the market have a rating of 1.5 to 5 million SHU but the average range is generally 2-3 million SHU.

Pepper Spray comes in different concentrations. There are 3 main indicators that show how effective a Pepper Spray will be:

1) The SHU number (higher is hotter)
2) the type of agent that holds the OC in solution to help with the dispersal and
3) the size of the droplets as they are sprayed. The smallest droplets are the most effective because these are absorbed in the eyes and lungs most quickly.

Pepper Spray is usually sold in 3 different types of dispersal canisters.

Stream-type Pepper Spray goes out like a water pistol but you must aim at the face so you should shoot in a fan-like direction for maximum effect. With the Stream you have little problem with blow-back of the product towards yourself and the stream usually travels over 6 feet or more.

The Fogger type of Pepper Spray is easier to aim because it comes out in a mist with small particles for quicker effect and is especially good to break up a crowd of bad guys. It will, however, blow back towards the user in a wind and has a shorter travel range.

Foam Pepper Spray hits the attacker like shaving cream. The effects won't leave just because he wipes it off his skin. There is little problem with blow-back to the user.

The bottom line is no matter which type of Pepper Spray you use, it works! Since it is an inflammatory agent it will cause the attacker's mucous membranes (eyes, nose, throat and lungs) to react automatically and if he can't see you (temporary blindness) or has trouble catching his breath, you have the time to run and call 911 for help. And, Pepper Spray can't just be wiped off so it will continue to work on the attacker for up to 45 minutes. Next time he'll think twice...

Pepper Spray can save your life. Don't be the next victim.

In England it is reported that your image is captured several hundred times a day by hidden and surveillance cameras. There are currently 4.2 million CCTV cameras in Britain. More are planned in next few years. There is one for every 14 people in the country.

There is some anecdotal evidence that the U.S. is in the process of catching up. It seems every night there is some hidden camera story on the news:

--a burglary at a convenience store

--a robbery at a big box store

--a nanny cam incident

--perverts trying to hook up with underage kids

--the latest FBI sting

--a congressman on vacation at a special interest group's expense

Those are some examples-the list is huge.

That is just what you see on the early news.

Of course most of the cameras in our area are traditional security cameras. Check out a casino, big box store, airport, local intersections the list grows every day.

Then toss in the "you tube" craze, nanny cams, home security systems and you have a whole different set of needs for spy cameras. And it is growing like crazy-the weirder the better. There seems to be no end to the crazy videos out there.

A local shop that sells hidden cameras reports:

--a 45% increase in residential sales.

--Hidden camera sales are up, too.

--the trend shows no sign of stopping.

Hidden cameras can be put into just about anything from a mirror to a water bottle, from a radio boom box to a baseball cap-just about anything. The more common the object is the better.

Another contributing factor to the growth of hidden cameras is cost. As the cost of hidden cameras comes down, they become more accessible to more folks.

So if you want to know what is going on when you are not around at home, at work, at your business or wherever get a hidden camera and FIND OUT. Everyone else will be watching you-don't miss the boat.

Newspapers, radio phone-ins, national news, local news, the Internet, if we are to believe them, then Britain is overrun with knife-wielding, hooded teenagers marauding through the streets in search of pensioners to mug. Yet, as we look out of the window, as we walk down the street, as we travel in and out of towns and cities, we are forced to ask, where is this crime?

The latest police-recorded crime figures show that violent crime has fallen by 8% in the last year, and the most serious violent crime by 12%. Yet, ask the average man on the street, and he'll tell you that "the end of the world is nigh".

Is bandwagon jumping journalism irresponsible, or dangerous even? For instance, teenagers are an impressionable bunch; tell them that their peers are walking through the streets armed with knives, and they are going to want a knife for themselves. Is it beyond the realms of possibility, that the minuscule percentage of the teenage populace that carry knives could be increased substantially by irresponsible, misleading journalism? Is there a danger of 'Knife Crime in Britain' becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy?

What can we do about it? Well, unfortunately, probably not a lot. There is always going to be a substantial number of people who can sleep soundly at night no matter what dirty deeds they have carried out during the day. Irresponsible journalism is here to stay. Luckily though, these story fads tend to last only a few months at the most. With any luck, the next fad will involve dog-bites or the like, or something else that will not be exacerbated by the reporting of the less ethical members of our press. Why not make the next fad something fun for once? Knicker-snatching is always good for a laugh.

Throughout history, murderers have always seemed to rivet the attention of the public. Hapless victims, their calculated killers, and all the gruesome details of the crime seem to fascinate most people, and the trials are oftentimes sensational events that attract the masses. Killers committing their heinous crimes during the 19th century were no different than the ones of today, but a few of these criminals stand out in history.

Champ Ferguson - The story of Champ Ferguson is set in the mountains of Tennessee during the height of the American Civil War. For reasons not completely clear, Ferguson became a staunch supporter of the Rebel cause; some say Union soldiers raped his wife and daughter, while others say that the Confederacy promised him clemency on an existing murder charge if he promised his support. Whatever his reasons were, Ferguson became one of the most notorious and feared guerrillas in Tennessee, and also one of the most prolific killers of Union soldiers and supporters in the area. Noted for his sadistic tendencies when he found a new victim, Ferguson is estimated to have killed over 100 people, though he was only tried for the murders of 53. Ferguson was arrested and tried for murder in May of 1865, creating something of a spectacle for a public eager to see him sentenced to death. Though Ferguson freely admitted to committing the many murders, he maintained that his acts were part of military activities and he only killed those who would have killed him. Ferguson was convicted of war crimes and sentenced to hang on October 20, 1865. His death closed the chapter of one of the South's most notorious guerrilla fighters, feared by some and revered by others.

H. H. Holmes - Known by many as America's first documented serial killer, H. H. Holmes is responsible for the deaths of as many as 100 people, though he confessed to only 27 of those murders. Born in New Hampshire in 1860 under the name Herman Webster Mudgett, Holmes is best known for the time he spent in Chicago during the World's Fair in 1893. After graduating from medical school in Michigan, Holmes moved to Chicago to practice pharmacy. Dispensing medicine, however, was not high on his priority list, and instead he became involved in a number of shady business deals swindling people out of their money. In 1893, construction began on The Castle, which would serve as his home/office, a hotel for visitors to the fair, and ultimately, his killing grounds. The building was three stories high, covered an entire city block, and had a floorplan that would confound even the most experienced architect. The third floor was a sort of labyrinth, with windowless rooms, doors opening to nowhere, stairs leading to nowhere, and many more oddities. This was where Holmes committed his murders, torturing his victims and sending their bodies down secret passageways to the basement where they were either burned or dissected and sold to medical schools. When the World's Fair concluded, Holmes left Chicago looking for more opportunities to increase his wealth and his victim count. When he was caught in an insurance fraud scheme with his associate Benjamin Pitezel, who he had killed along with three of Pitezel's children, Holmes was tracked and finally arrested in Boston. After his arrest, The Castle was searched and authorities began uncovering evidence of some of the most gruesome crimes ever committed. After a trial lasting only five days, Holmes was convicted of murder and sentenced to the gallows on May 7, 1896. The story of H. H. Holmes is perhaps one of the most disturbing, yet fascinating, ventures into the mind of a killer.

Octavius Barron - While Octavius Barron didn't earn quite as much notoriety as the two killers above, he is notable because at the young age of 18, he was responsible for the first murder in the city of Rochester, New York. William Lyman was a respected man in the city, with a successful job and growing family. On the night of October 20, 1837, he left his office to return home to his wife and four children. He never made it. As Lyman walked toward his house, he was shot in the back of the head at point blank range, robbed of several hundred dollars, and left dead in an alley. Hearing the shot, a young boy living in a house nearby alerted his father, who then called police. While authorities were busy collecting evidence at the crime scene, Barron was at the local tavern waving Lyman's money around and boasting of the murder to his friends. It didn't take long for this cavalier attitude to come to an end, however, as Barron was arrested just hours after pulling the trigger. The case against him was strong, and as he was already known around town as being a habitual gambler and drinker, the young man was easily convicted of the murder. Octavius Barron hung for his crime on June 7, 1838, and with his death justice was served. But the tale doesn't stop here; though William Lyman's life had ended, his story continued.

Measuring the trustworthiness of an individual is something that perceptive interrogators do to get at the truth of a person's statements.

Kinesiology, the study of body language, speaks louder than words to those who know how to "read" body language. A person who is lying to you rarely makes eye contact, covers his mouth, scratches his nose, rubs the back of his neck, clears his throat repeatedly, blinks his eyes, drinks water excessively, and fidgets with his feet. He does this at the same time while his voice trembles, his pores sweat, and his face blushes. You may have seen these activities when former President Bill Clinton was the subject of a videotaped deposition for his involvement in the White House sex scandal in the late 90's.

These physiological effects are always accompanied by the anxiety involved in lying. Such physiological effects are not always visible but can be measurable using instrumentation that detects changes in a person's physiology.

What is a polygraph machine?

A polygraph machine, also known as a lie detector, refers to the instrument that measures and records the changes in several physiological processes.

Polygraph literally means "many writings." As the name implies, the polygraph is a conglomerate of several instruments used to measure several distinct processes that include:

• A cardiograph-a machine that measures pulse rate and blood pressure.
• A galvanograph-a machine that measures differences in the electrical resistance of the skin. Sweating increases the electrical conductivity in the skin due to electrolyte concentration in sweat.
• A pneumograph-a machine that measures the rate and depth of breathing.

Some polygraphs involve another instrument known as a plethysmograph. A plethysmograph is an instrument that attaches to the index finger and is used to measure oxygen concentration and peripheral blood flow.

Not all polygraph examinations are conclusive. There are some faults involved in administering a polygraph. For one, not everybody displays the same generalized physiological effects that liars do. Alcohol, drugs, legal or illegal, and other medications can affect a person's physiology that would nullify the results of a polygraph. Previous surgeries or illnesses can affect the results of a polygraph not to mention the examiner's competence in the use of the polygraph machine. Also, somebody who is an expert in lying can nullify the results of a polygraph exam. Actors and actresses do this for a living. In essence they, are professional "liars."

For these reasons, results of a polygraph examination are inadmissible in many court systems. They are only used to steer law enforcement in the right direction when investigating a crime.

10. Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd

It is a known fact that Charles Arthur Floyd hated his nickname, but sources disagree on how he received it. Two stories are given, one stating "Pretty Boy" was given to him by the prostitutes from the whorehouses he frequented and the second states that he earned his nickname from a description of him in his first major robbery as "a pretty boy." He hated the name so much that he killed other gangsters for calling him by the nickname. In fact, after being gunned down, with his dying breath he made one final declaration, "I'm Charles Arthur Floyd."

9. Charlie "Lucky" Luciano

Charlie Luciano was given the nickname "Lucky" when he came back from "taking a ride" to get whacked. He did receive a knife would from his encounter which caused a permanent droopy eye (see in picture). Many stories circulate about the ride but most agree he was tortured by the family of a officer whose daughter he had seduced. He used this story to increase his legend with the underworld often stating he was the only member of the mafia to return alive after being taken for a ride. In his old age, after being deported to Italy, Lucky became a charitable man, helping many Italians before he set up a medical supply store as a front for his illegal businesses.

8. Sam "Golf Bag" Hunt

The nickname "Golf Bag" certainly doesn't instill fear, dread or even wonder, until you know the reason this mobster was given the name Golf Bag. Working for Capone as a mob enforcer (hitman), Sam Hunt would carry his weapons in his golf bag to hide them. If you saw Sam coming towards you with his golf bag slung on his shoulder and your weren't teeing off on the green, you should probably be running the other direction.

7. Israel "Icepick Willie" Alderman

This grisly nickname needs little imagination. As you would suspect, Icepick Willies' method of murder involved an icepick. As the owner of a speakeasy in Minneapolis the gangster would murder his victims by pushing the icepick through their eardrum and into the brain. He used this quick "technique" because eyewitnesses would only see the victim suddenly slump over as a would-be drunk who had passed out. Icepick Willie could then drag the corpse from the speakeasy, as if helping the drunkard, and then dispose of the body.

6. Vincent "Mad Dog" Coll

Not someone you would ever want to meet, Mad Dog Coll was given the nickname for his disregard for human life including children. On July 28, 1931, Coll unsuccessfully attempted to kidnap Joey Rao, a Dutch Schultz underling. The resulting shootout left a five year old child, Michael Vengali, dead and several children wounded. After this atrocity, New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker dubbed Coll "Mad Dog" and the whole city started looking for him. A $50,000 bounty was put on Mad Dog and he was gunned down while making a call in a phone booth in 1932.

5. Thomas "Butterfingers" Moran

Legendary pickpocket, Thomas "Butterfingers" Moran, was a adept pickpocket who could "slide in and out of a pocket like pure butter." Thomas picked his first pocket in 1906 in San Fransisco and his last pocket at age 78, in 1970. It is said he picked over 50,000 pockets during his lifetime. Like Pretty Boy, Butterfingers didn't care for his nickname when he was quoted, ""I've never forgiven that smart-alecky reporter who named me 'Butterfingers'."

4. Lester "Baby Face" Nelson

Public Enemy #1 throughout the 1930s, Lester Joseph Gillis better known as "Baby Face" Nelson, due to his young appearance, didn't care for his nickname and at one point declared himself "Big" George Nelson. The problem? He was only 5 feet 4 inches tall. "Where outlaws such as Pretty Boy Floyd...would kill to protect themselves when cornered, Nelson went out of his way to murder - he loved it," said Jay Robert Nash in Bloodletters and Badmen. "His angelic, pear-smooth face never betrayed his instant ability to kill." Photo courtesy of Rick Mattix.

3. George "Machine Gun" Kelly

George "Machine Gun" Kelly, the notorious racketeer who gave FBI agents the nickname G-men, was given his gangster nickname by his wife Kathryn who forced him to practice with the machine gun. (She gave it to him as a birthday present.) She became his public relations force and built up his "street cred" with other criminals. In fact he was not accused or convicted of murder and never used his machine gun with the intent to kill. During his time at Alcatraz he got the nickname 'Pop Gun Kelly' for the fact that he was a model prisoner and was nowhere near the tough, brutal gangster his wife made him out to be.

2. Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel

An American gangster who was a driving force behind the development of Las Vega, Ben "Bugsy" Siegel was not fond of his nickname and was never called that to his face. It was said to cause him to become enraged, murderously so. During his trial for the murder of Harry "Big Greenie" Greenberg (he was acquitted), the newspapers revealed Siegel's sordid past and started referring to him as "Bugsy". He hated the nickname, "Bugsy" (said to be based on the slang term "bugs", meaning "crazy", describing his erratic behavior), and wouldn't allow anyone to call him that to his face.

1. "Scarface" Al Capone

Scarface Al was employed as a bouncer by racketeer Frankie Yale. Capone received the scars that gave him the nickname "Scarface" when he insulted a woman while working the door at a Brooklyn night club. This provoked a fight with her brother Frank Gallucio. Capone's face was slashed three times on the left side by Gallucio. When photographed, Capone hid the scarred left side of his face and would lie about his injuries as war wounds, but he never served in the armed forces. According to the 2002 magazine from Life , Capone was called "Snorky" by his closest friends. "Scarface" was certainly the better choice for an underworld gangster. Who could take Al "Snorky" Capone seriously.

SHENANDOAH, Pa. - Luis Ramirez came to the U.S. from Mexico six years ago to look for work, landing in this town in Pennsylvania's coal region. Here, he found steady employment, fathered two children and, his fiancee said, occasionally endured harassment by white residents.

Now he is headed back to Mexico in a coffin.

The 25-year-old illegal immigrant was beaten over the weekend after an argument with a group of youths, including at least some players on the town's beloved high school football team, police said. Despite witness reports that the attackers yelled ethnic slurs, authorities say the beating wasn't racially motivated.

Hate crime or not, the killing has exposed long-simmering tensions in Shenandoah, a blue-collar town of 5,000 about 80 miles northwest of Philadelphia that has a growing number of Hispanic residents drawn by jobs in factories and farm fields.

An investigation continues, and no charges have yet been filed, but police say as many as six teens were involved in the fight, which ended with Ramirez in convulsions and foaming at the mouth. He died early Monday of head injuries.

Crystal Dillman, the victim's 24-year-old fiancee, who is white and grew up here, said Ramirez was often called derogatory names, including "dirty Mexican," and told to return to his homeland.

"People in this town are very racist toward Hispanic people. They think right away if you're Mexican, you're illegal, and you're no good,"
said Dillman, who has two young children by Ramirez and a 3-year-old who thought of him as her father.

On Dillman's fireplace mantel hangs a medallion of Jesus that Ramirez was wearing the night he was beaten. Ramirez had an imprint of the medallion on his chest, marking where an assailant stomped on him, she said.

Police Chief Matthew Nestor acknowledged there have been problems as the community - the birthplace of big-band musicians Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey and home of Mrs. T's Pierogies - has tried to adjust to an influx of Hispanics, who now comprise as much as 10 percent of the population.

Teenagers have sprayed racially tinged graffiti and yelled racial slurs at the newcomers, he said.

Police are still interviewing suspects and witnesses. Preliminarily, though, they have determined that Ramirez, who worked in a factory and picked strawberries and cherries, got into an argument with a group of youths that escalated into a fight in which he was badly outnumbered.

If you ever looked at Ted Bundy, you would not see the serial killer that has haunted the dreams of the family members of his victims. Ted Bundy was a good looking man, athletic, and charming. His boyish looks do not show what was hidden deep in his troubled mind and the girls that were to become his victims did not know the evil that was in his heart or the deeds that he was capable of committing.

When looking at the murders by the hands of Ted Bundy, one seems to be drawn to the idea that the murders happened in waves. The first wave was located in Washington and Oregon, but the second wave did not begin until Bundy began attending the University of Utah Law School in Salt Lake City. He had barely begun the school year until his thirst for the flesh of young women had him on the hunt again. He resumed killing in October and it started with the disappearance of Nancy Wilcox.

Ms. Wilcox was just the beginning. Bundy murdered Melissa Smith. This was a brazen move for Bundy because Mellissa was the daughter of the Police Chief of Midvale, Utah. This fact being ignored, Bundy raped, sodomized and then strangled young Melissa and hid her body so well, it took nine days for the searchers to find it. Having a body count of two for October, Bundy ended the bloody month by killing Laura Aime, a seventeen year old woman from Lehi, Utah. She was found naked and beaten dead on the banks of a river in the American Fork Canyon. She was killed on Halloween and her body was not found until Thanksgiving Day.

A week later on November 8th, 1974 another Utah woman almost fell victim to Bundy. In Murray Utah, a young woman known as Carol DaRonch was led astray when Bundy pretended to be an office of the Murray Police department. He told the woman that someone had tried to break into her car and that he wanted her to go with him to the police department. Carol got into the car with Bundy but became resistant when Bundy demanded that she put her seat belt on. When she refused, Bundy slammed the car to the side of the road and tried to capture Ms. DaRonch with handcuffs. During the struggle, the girl fought so strongly that Bundy accidently put the handcuffs on the same wrist. He found this out as she was able to fend off a skull crushing swing from a crowbar and open the door to fall out on the road.

Bundy made a crucial mistake that night, one that would lead to him being captured and in jail for a short time in Colorado. Bundy went to Viewmont High School in Bountiful, Utah where a high school drama club was rehearsing at a play. Bundy approached both a teacher and a student to go with him outside to help identify a vehicle. Both refused but saw Bundy toward the end of the play breathing hard and his shirt was untucked from his pants. This was enough for the teacher to alert the authorities and after a search of the auditorium; the police found a small set of keys that unlocked the handcuffs that were around Carol DeRonch's wrist.

Colorado can in to the picture in 1975. Bundy started his Colorado crimes on January 12, while still attending the law school in Utah. His first victim was Caryn Campbell. In the sleepy little Colorado ski village of Snowmass, The young lady disappeared from the Wildwood Inn and police suspected that she was abducted within thirty yards of her hotel room door and the elevator. Her body was found until five days later. Strangled and beaten, Caryn Campbell became a notch on Bundy's crowbar as he waited for his next Colorado murder.

The next victim on March 15, 1975 was Julie Cunningham. Bundy was a ski instructor in Vail, Colorado and was known to be a helpful person and always trying to please. Bundy used this by walking across the ski slope parking lot on crutches. He appealed to this young woman by asking her to help him carry a pair of ski boots to his car. The young woman wanted to help him out and was rewarded by her charity with a crow bar to the head and handcuffs. Bundy slowly strangled the life out of her and moved on to his next victim.

Ski season over, Bundy did not go up the I-70 corridor to find his next victim. Instead he took a short trip over the Utah border and found his next victim, Denise Oliverson in Grand Junction, Colorado. On April 6th, 1975, the twenty five year old Denise had gone for a bike ride after having a fight with her husband. Her intended destination was her parent's house and after not returning home, her husband thought that she had stayed the night with her parents. Her bike and sandals were found the next day. Until this day, her body was not found, but Bundy during a court hearing claimed that he had killed her and had dumped her body in the Colorado River. The Colorado River is swollen and moves fast from the winter melt in April and the body could be washed down stream miles away.

Bundy's murder spree did not stop in Colorado. He jumped the state borders of Idaho, Utah, and finally Florida. There are no true estimates of how many people were killed by Ted Bundy. The general guess is around 39. On January 29th, 1989, Bundy was put to death by electric chair in a prison in Starke, Florida. His final words were, 'I'd like to give my love to my family and friends."

Though he died for his evil ways, the people of Colorado will never forget the evil that visited there west slope of the Rocky Mountains. Bundy soiled the ski towns of Aspen and Snowmass with the blood of his victims and took away daughters that had a full life ahead of them. Instead with crowbar, handcuffs, and his own hands he defiled their bodies and strangled them until they were dead. Though not a native of Colorado, Bundy is added to the list of evil people that have crossed state lines and destroyed the reputation of the state, the towns, and the people of Colorado, giving them one more reason to fear the night.
