Doris Forrest (Price) was born January 29, 1919 on the family farm about 11 miles southwest of Kit Carson. Her parents were Lewis H. “Lute” Forrest and Eva Ethel Forrest. Eva and Lute had moved from Lexington, Nebraska to Cheyenne County to farm and ranch. Doris was the third of six girls born to the family and the first to be born in Colorado.

Last week, Kiowa County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to the vicinity of Kiowa County Roads 49 and C for a report of a person firing a gun.

Deputies contacted Steve Ransom of Brandon. Ransom had three motorcycles in the back of his vehicle which were identified as having been stolen. He was arrested for aggravated motor vehicle theft, and later bonded out.

A search warrant was executed later, and revealed 107 grams of methamphetamine in Ranson’s vehicle, along with additional stolen items at his home.
