Town Moved to a Water Tank in Wellington
Bulger town, built by Colonel James Bulger with a hotel and store, was relocated last week to A. Crouse’s ranch near a water tank on the Colorado and Southern line. The town arose with the Cheyenne extension and the railroad’s ten foot grade ruined Bulger, prompting a new town plan three miles away that never materialized. Colonel Phisard, a notable western figure, was said to be en route to Old Mexico at the head of soldiers.
