Mysterious Death and Long Suspicions in Carbon County
Otto Balers of a prominent Carbon county family was believed to have shot himself on a sheep ranch 120 miles north a year ago and was later committed to the state insane asylum at Lander. The body was carried 600 miles to the family lot for burial before the true Balers, found insane in Denver, surfaced. His mother’s worry over his fate drove her to the Evanston asylum after her own decline.
