Mysterious Deaths in Denver-June 8th 1878

In the last three days, numerous reports have been sent into the local paper about a rash of murders of people as their bodies have been found in allies and back streets. What makes these murders extraordinary are that they seem like they have wasted away, like they died of old age. The bodies of the victims who have not been identified, but this reporter has learned that out of the 7 bodies found so far, 4 of them have been linked to the missing leaders of the Denver City Council. This reported wonders if these deaths have anything to do with the burning of buildings and the sound of gunfire that has been mentioned by witnesses in the areas where the bodies have been found. This sounds a like a mystery for this reporter to dig more into. I will report more to you later pardners.
