...State Penitentiary at Canon City, Colo., where a deadly, guard-killing outbreak took place (TIME, Oct. 14). Less pleasant also is the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., last summer's fourth rioter, where Warden T. B. White has had to pack convicts by twos and threes into one-man cells, stuff them by scores into cell-house basements...

Behind him came a history: Francisco Vasquez Coronado. who in 1541, looking for El Dorado, discovered Nebraska; Indians, led by Crow Chief Max Big Man; prairie schooners; oxcarts; stage coaches; a Mormon handcart which had been trundled across Nebraska by foot-sore Mormons So years before.
