3 Range Rules At Tusco, safety is always the #1 priority. Eye and ear protection are to be worn at all times when on the shooting range. Tusco is a A-affiliated club and we abide by A rules as much as possible. NO re-shoots will be given after the first round goes downrange except for a prop or match equipment failure, a Range Officer impeding the progress of the shooter, timer failure, or unrecorded time. The Timer Operator will get misses/penalties from the 3 spotters only. The Timer Operator is not a spotter. However, if the Timer Operator sees an edge-hit on a target, he/she may point it out to the spotters. It will then be up to the spotters to make the call. potters: potting is a most important task to the shooter--please take spotting seriously! If you THINK it's a miss, it's a hit. If you KNOW it's a hit, it's a hit. If you ARE POITIVE it's a miss, it's a miss. We run a cold range which means you do not have loaded guns until you go to the loading table, through the stage, and on to the unloading table. hooters do not come up to the firing line until called up by the Timer Operator. All shooters must be behind the current shooter while traveling to or from the stage. Lever guns should be levered at the shoulder. Henry rifles should be loaded in such a way as to prevent chain fires. A round over the berm is a stage DQ. The 170º safety zone rule is followed at this range at all times. Crossdraw shooters must not break the 170º safety zone when drawn/re-holstered. This includes times when the shooter is at the loading and unloading tables. If you need to show somebody your gun, do it at the loading or unloading tables only. Dropped rounds may be retrieved and used, if desired. Keep the 170º rule in mind. For this match, a stage DQ will be scored as the number of shots required for the stage x 5 seconds + 30 seconds. Knockdown targets must go down to be counted as hits. Knockdowns may be re-engaged. It is the shooter's responsibility to understand the stage before shooting it. Posse Assignments -- We tried to match shooters up as per your requests. If you are sharing a cart or guns and currently NOT on the same posse, please tell us NOW. Posse numbers and Posse Lists are posted in the clubhouse and will be read.

4 If your posse finishes a stage before the posse in front of you, please show patience, and DO NOT CROWD THE POE IN FRONT OF YOU. Everyone needs to pitch in and help with spotting, picking brass, loading/unloading tables, scoring, etc. coring -- Enter only the raw time, number of misses, and penalties on the score sheet. Do not add anything up as the computer will do all the calculating for us. Please leave the spotting sticks and timers at the stage. De-cocking may not be done to avoid a penalty if cocked at the wrong time, position or location once a round has gone down range. NO firearm may be de-cocked on the firing line except by pointing it down range and pulling the trigger or while under the direct supervision of the Timer Operator (TO). (This requires a positive indication or acknowledgement from the TO to the shooter). The penalty for de-cocking is a tage Disqualification. Long guns will have actions open with chambers and magazines empty, and muzzles pointed in a safe direction, when being carried to the loading table and from the unloading table. Actions open and chambers empty for all long guns transported in gun carts. Rifles will be staged with the magazine loaded, action closed, hammer fully down on an empty chamber (not in "safety" notch), and muzzle pointed in a safe direction. hotguns open with magazine and chambers empty and are loaded on the clock, unless the stage description states otherwise. Mule-Eared shotguns may be "cocked" at the beginning of the scenario. If the action of a long gun closes after being cleared, the shooter will, at the conclusion of the stage, show it to be clear to the TO. Appropriate penalties will be applied if it is not clear. No one other than the competitor may handle the firearm in question. A malfunctioning gun containing live rounds will not warrant penalties as long as the malfunction is declared and the gun handed to the Range Officer or placed on a prop with the muzzle downrange. Holsters may not depart from the vertical by more than 30º. Cross-draw users must twist their body if necessary to ensure that the muzzle does not break the 170º safety zone. The unloading officer must inspect all firearms before they leave the stage. Long guns and shotguns must have the actions cycled and chambers must be inspected carefully. All pistols, including cap & ball revolvers, must be inspected before leaving the stage, regardless of whether or not they were used in the stage. Knockdown targets are not required to fall for Buckaroo/Buckarette Category, or Josey Wales Category shooters. A hit will be scored as long as the target is clearly hit. On aturday, we will shoot stages 1-5. tart on the stage with the same number as your posse assignment. On unday, we will shoot stages We will start shooting at 9:00 am. You begin where you started on aturday.

10 Bill Doolin & The Oklahombres Gunslingers -- eason 2, Episode 5 More than 100 years ago in a quiet little town in the Oklahoma Territory, members of the infamous Oklahombres gang squared off against a posse of deputies in one of the deadliest shoot-outs in the history of the U.. marshals. By the end of the gunfight, nine men lay dead or wounded, and the people of Ingalls had a vivid picture of Western lawlessness. William "Bill" M. Doolin was born in 1858 in Johnson County, Arkansas. At the age of 23, he drifted west, working at odd jobs until, in 1881, he landed a job as a cowboy at the H-X Bar Ranch on the Cimarron River in Indian Territory. For the next decade, he worked as a cowboy at several nearby ranches, and, during this time, Doolin worked with other cowboy and outlaw names of the day, including George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb, Charley Pierce, Bill Power, Dick Broadwell, Bill "Tulsa Jack" Blake, Dan "Dynamite Dick" Clifton, and Emmett Dalton. By the 1890s, Doolin had joined the Dalton Gang, participating in several train and bank robberies. His first encounter with the law was in Coffeyville, Kansas in 1891, when he and several friends were tapping a beer keg during their 4th of July celebration. Kansas was a dry state, and when lawmen attempted to confiscate their alcohol, a shootout erupted, resulting in two lawmen being wounded. Doolin and his cohorts quickly fled the area. Doolin was then a wanted man and thus began his outlaw career. In October, 1892, the Dalton Gang made its fateful attempt to rob two banks in Coffeyville, Kansas. It was a total failure, and Bob Dalton, Grat Dalton, Bill Power and Dick Broadwell were killed. Only Emmett Dalton survived to spend years in prison for the attempt. On the face of it, Doolin didn't participate in this robbery, which spared his life, at least for a little while. However, some historians have alleged that there was a sixth gang member in an alley holding the horses, who escaped. oon afterwards, Doolin founded another gang, the Oklahombres, who were sometimes called the Wild Bunch and the Oklahoma Long Riders because of the long dusters that they wore. This group specialized in robbing banks, stores, stagecoaches and trains, in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, quickly becoming the terror of the Wild West. The gang included, at various times, Bill Dalton, George "Red Buck" Waightman, Little Bill Raidler, Bob Grounds, Bill "Tulsa Jack" Blake, Richard "Little Dick West", Dan "Dynamite Dick" Clifton, Roy Daugherty, AKA "Arkansas Tom" Jones, Alf ohn, George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb, Charley Pierce, and Oliver "Ol" Yantis. Two teenaged girls, known as Little Britches and Cattle Annie, also followed the gang. On July 5, 1896, Bill Doolin, along with "Dynamite Dick" Clifton and 12 others, escaped a Guthrie, OK jail and fled. Doolin took refuge with his wife in Lawson, Oklahoma, while the other escapees scattered. But, his freedom would be brief, as 6 weeks later, Deputy U.. Marshal Heck Thomas tracked Doolin down and cornered him. When he refused to surrender, Doolin was shot and killed by Marshal Thomas.

12 Wild Bill -- Marksman and Marked Man Gunslingers -- eason 1, Episode 4 The Wild Bill Hickok Davis Tutt shoot-out was a gunfight that occurred on July 21, 1865 in the town square of pringfield, Missouri. Wild Bill Hickok, a Yankee, and Confederate Army veteran Davis Tutt were old friends. During a card game, Tutt reminded Hickok of a debt from a past horse trade. Hickok shrugged and gave Tutt some money, but Tutt was unappeased. He claimed that Hickok owed him more money, and snatched Bill's cherished Waltham repeater gold pocket watch off the table. Tutt announced that he would keep the watch as collateral until Hickok paid him in full. Aside from publicly humiliating Hickok and taking his property, Tutt's demand for collateral on a debt from a fellow professional card player, implied that Tutt thought Hickok was an insolvent gambler trying to avoid his debts. To ignore such an insult from Tutt would have damaged Hickok's career as a gambler. Bill warned him to never wear the pocket watch in public. When a group of Tutt's supporters announced that they had heard Tutt was planning to wear the watch "in the middle of the town square" the next day, Hickok replied, "He shouldn't come across that square unless dead men can walk." Their gunfight is one of the few recorded instances in the Old West of a one-on-one pistol duel in a public place, in the manner later made iconic by countless dime novels, radio dramas, and Western films, such as High Noon. The first story of the shoot-out was detailed in an 1867 article in Harper's Magazine. The Harper's article made Hickok a household name and folk hero. Wild Bill and Tutt were separated by about 75 yards, each turned sideways to project a smaller target. They drew their weapons, aimed, and fired. Tutt s shot missed, but Wild Bill, a superb marksman with his Colt Navy revolver, shot Tutt through the heart... and a legend was born. After shooting Tutt, he yelled to Tutt s on-looking friends, Are you satisfied? Wild Bill was charged with murder -- later reduced to manslaughter -- and was acquitted, which was an unpopular verdict at the time. Wild Bill would go on to have many gunfights and run-ins with other deadly characters of the West a record that would fill books.

14 Deacon Jim Miller -- The Pious Assassin Gunslingers -- eason 2, Episode 6 James Brown Miller ( ), also known as "Killin' Jim", "Killer Miller", and "Deacon Jim", was an outlaw and assassin in the Old West, known to have killed 12 people during gunfights. Miller was referred to as "Deacon Jim" because he regularly attended the Methodist Church and he did not smoke or drink. He was lynched by a mob of angry citizens because of his assassination of a former deputy U.. marshal. Miller was born in Arkansas, but moved with his parents to Texas at one year of age. When both of his parents died, Jim was sent to live with his grandparents. At the age of eight, Miller was again orphaned after his grandparents were found murdered in their home. Miller was arrested, but was not prosecuted for the crime. Miller moved in with his sister & her husband. In 1884, Miller shot his brother-in-law with a shotgun, after having argued with him. Miller was arrested for the murder, convicted and sentenced to life in prison, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality. Over the next couple of years, Miller traveled the Texas-Mexico border region and operated a saloon in an aba County. In Reeves County, Miller became a deputy sheriff and later town marshal in Pecos. During this time, he gained a reputation for killing Mexicans, claiming that they had been attempting to escape. Miller liked to assume the appearance of a devout Methodist, earning him the nickname "Deacon Jim". He was well liked by the townspeople because he was polite and an avid member of the church. Regardless of the weather, he would wear a large black frock coat. A notable gunfight involved Miller and Pecos heriff Bud Frazer. In 1894, Frazer confronted Miller about a local murder. Frazer did not wait for Miller to go for his shotgun, shooting him in the arm, the groin, and his chest. Miller's friends rushed him to a doctor, where his frock coat was removed to reveal a large steel plate that Miller wore under his clothes. It saved his life. Miller recovered, and later killed Frazer by shooting him in the back with a shotgun. In 1909, Miller was contracted for the murder of Oklahoma cattle rancher and former Deputy U.. Marshal Gus Bobbitt. Miller's fee was $1,700. Miller carefully chose his point of ambush, concealing himself near Bobbitt's ranch house. Miller shot Bobbitt in the side with his shotgun. Bobbitt's wife dashed out to check on her injured husband. Before dying, Bobbitt was able to confirm the identity of his assailant. The murder was also witnessed by Oscar Peeler, the cowhand who had accepted $50 to lead Miller to Bobbitt. Miller was arrested by a Texas Ranger and extradited to Oklahoma to stand trial with the 3 men who hired him. The evidence against the four suspects, was not considered strong, leaving open the chance for an acquittal. A mob broke into the jail "between two and three o'clock" on the morning of April 19, They dragged the four men outside to an abandoned livery stable behind the jail. Miller remained stoic while the other three reportedly begged for their lives. Miller made two final requests: (1) that his diamond ring be given to his wife, and (2) that he be permitted to wear his black hat while being hanged. Both requests were granted. He also asked to die in his black frock coat, but that request was denied. Miller is reported to have shouted, "Let 'er rip!" and stepped voluntarily off his box.

18 Billy the Kid -- The Phantom of Lincoln County Gunslingers -- eason 1, Episode 2 On December 23, 1880, Pat Garrett and his posse captured Billy the Kid and his gang in an abandoned one-room stone house in tinking prings, New Mexico Territory. Billy the Kid was tried and convicted of the murder of heriff William Brady, and sentenced to hang. With that, most believe that the Kid's fate was sealed. However, the Kid himself had other plans. On April 21st, the Kid arrived back in Lincoln. There was no suitable jail, so the Kid was confined in a backroom, adjoined to Garrett s office, in the old two-story Murphy store, which was now a courthouse. He was to remain handcuffed and shackled at all times. Billy was either chained to the floor, or a line was drawn across the room, which he was forbidden to cross, or he would be shot. To eliminate any chance of escape, Garrett had two of his deputies, Bob Olinger and James Bell, remain with the Kid in the room, as 24-hour guards. If he made the slightest wrong move, or even looked as if he was thinking of escape, Olinger would split him in two with his shotgun, which he teased the Kid with everyday. About a week after the Kid's arrival, Garrett left Lincoln to collect taxes, leaving his two guards in charge. At noon on April 28th, Bob Olinger took the other prisoners across the street for lunch at the Wortley Hotel (the Kid ate his meals in his room), which meant only Bell would be at the courthouse to guard him. As soon as Olinger was gone, the Kid asked deputy Bell to take him outside to the privy. On their return to the courthouse, at the top of the stairs, the Kid slipped his small hand out of one of the cuffs, whacked Bell over the head, jerked Bell s revolver out of his holster, and told him to throw up his hands. Instead, Bell turned and ran down the stairs, and the Kid shot him. In the restaurant, Olinger heard the shots, and darted outside. As he rounded the gate into the yard of the courthouse, he heard a familiar voice say, Hello Bob. He looked up and saw the Kid at the window pointing his own shotgun at him. At that moment the startled groundskeeper came running from behind the building, saw Olinger and yelled out, The Kid killed Bell! Olinger then replied, Yes, and he s killed me too. The Kid then let Olinger have it with both barrels, and his tormentor fell dead. After arming himself with revolvers and a rifle, Billy went down the stairs and out the back door. An eyewitness reported that as, Billy passed the body of Bell, he said I m sorry I had to kill you, but couldn t help it.

20 Butch Cassidy -- The Perfect Criminal Gunslingers -- eason 2, Episode 1 Robert Leroy Parker ( ), better known as Butch Cassidy, was a notorious train robber, bank robber, and leader of The Wild Bunch gang. His career in crime, and the pressures of being relentlessly pursued by local and national law enforcement agencies, caused Butch, his partner the undance Kid, and the Kid's girlfriend, Etta Place, to flee the UA. The trio fled first to Argentina and then to Bolivia, where Butch and undance were probably killed in a shootout in November Butch's career as a bank & train robber began in 1889, when Cassidy and 3 others robbed the an Miguel Valley Bank in Telluride, Colorado. They stole approximately $21,000, after which they fled to the Robbers Roost, a remote hideout in southeastern Utah. In 1896, Butch, Lay, Harvey Logan and Bob Meeks robbed the bank at Montpelier, Idaho, of approximately $7,000. hortly thereafter, Butch recruited The undance Kid into the Wild Bunch. In 1890, Cassidy purchased a ranch near Dubois, Wyoming, about 200 miles west of the notorious Hole-in-the-Wall, a natural geological formation which afforded outlaws protection and cover. Butch's associates, Elzy Lay, Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan, Ben Kilpatrick, Harry Tracy, William "News" Carver, Laura Bullion, and George Curry, became the nucleus of The Wild Bunch. In 1897, The Wild Bunch's robbery spree went into full gear. They robbed the payroll of the Pleasant Valley Coal Company, stealing a sack containing $7,000 in gold, with which they fled to the Robbers Roost. In 1899, the gang robbed a Union Pacific Overland Flyer near Wilcox, Wyoming, a robbery that became famous and which resulted in a massive manhunt. They then traveled to New Mexico and robbed a Colorado & outhern Railroad train. During this robery, Elzy Lay killed heriff Edward Farr and a citizen named Henry Love. Lay was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment at New Mexico tate Penitentiary. Cassidy, the undance Kid, and Bill Carver traveled to Winnemucca, Nevada, where in eptember, 1900, they robbed the First National Bank of $32,640. In December, Cassidy posed in Fort Worth, Texas for the now-famous Fort Worth Five Photograph: Front Row, left to right: Harry A. Longabaugh, alias the undance Kid, Ben Kilpatrick, alias the Tall Texan, Robert Leroy Parker, alias Butch Cassidy tanding: Will "News" Carver, Harvey Logan, alias Kid Curry The Pinkerton Detective Agency obtained a copy of the photograph and began to use it for its wanted posters. This allowed law enforcement to target and capture or kill the members of The Wild Bunch. The facts surrounding Butch Cassidy's death are uncertain. Many historians believe that Butch & undance were killed in outh America. But some evidence suggests that Cassidy survived, and returned to the United tates in the 1920s.

22 eth Bullock -- heriff of Deadwood Gunslingers -- eason 2, Episode 2 eth Bullock ( ) was a Canadian-American Western sheriff, hardware store owner, and U.. Marshal. Unhappy at home, Bullock ran away first at age 13, then again at age 16 to Montana, where he lived with his older sister. In 1867, Bullock became a resident of Helena, Montana, where he was elected, as a Republican, to the Territorial enate, serving in 1871 and 1872, and helped create Yellowstone National Park. In 1873, he was elected sheriff of Lewis and Clark County, Montana. During his tenure as sheriff, he killed his first man, Clell Watson, who had stolen a horse and engaged in a gunfight with Bullock, in which Bullock was slightly wounded in the shoulder. Watson was taken into custody and sentenced to death by hanging. A mob appeared and scared off the executioner. Bullock climbed the scaffold and pulled the lever, sending Watson to his death. Bullock then held off the mob with a shotgun. This incident was recreated on HBO's Deadwood, except that Watson was hanged on the step of the sheriff's office. In August 1876, Bullock and ol tar decided that an untapped market for hardware existed in the gold rush town of Deadwood in the Dakota Territory. The two purchased a lot in Deadwood and set up shop. Their business, "tar and Bullock, Auctioneers and Commission Merchants," was in a tent initially until a building could be constructed. Deadwood was a lawless, rowdy camp. The day after Bullock's arrival, Wild Bill Hickok was murdered by Jack McCall. McCall was later found not guilty by an impromptu camp court and released, after which he promptly left town. The demand for law enforcement grew following Hickok's murder, and Bullock's background made him the logical choice for Deadwood's first sheriff. Bullock took his job seriously, deputizing several residents and tackling the job of civilizing the camp. Bullock managed the task without killing anyone. When appointed sheriff, one of Bullock's first duties was to confront Dodge City Deputy Marshal Wyatt Earp, who was interested in the sheriff's job. Bullock told Earp that his services were not needed. A week later, Earp left Deadwood to return to Dodge City. Bullock and tar's hardware store in Deadwood burned down in Rather than rebuild, they built Deadwood's first hotel on the site -- a three story, 63-room luxury hotel with steam heat and indoor bathrooms on each floor, at a cost of $40,000. The Bullock Hotel continues to operate to this day, now incorporating a casino. Bullock died of colon cancer in 1919, at his home in Deadwood. He is buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery in Deadwood, along with Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. Bullock's grave faces Mount Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt and Bullock first met in 1884, and became life-long friends.

24 John Wesley Hardin -- The Dark Heart of Texas Gunslingers -- eason 1, Episode 5 John Wesley Hardin was born on May 26, 1853 near Bonham, Texas. He was the son of Methodist preacher and circuit rider, James "Gip" Hardin, and Mary Elizabeth Dixson. He was named after John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist church. From an early age, Hardin often got himself in trouble with the law. He killed his first man when he was just 15, and was a fugitive from that time on. ome of Hardin's gunfights had dozens of eyewitnesses, so there is a reliable record of how Hardin used his guns. His holsters were sewn into his vest so that the butts of his pistols pointed inward across his chest. He crossed his arms to draw. Hardin claimed this was the fastest way to draw, and he practiced every day. By 1871, Hardin was on the run, wanted in Texas for multiple murders, including a Texas state policeman. o, he joined his cousins on a cattle drive to Abilene, an ideal way to get off of Texas soil. During the cattle drive, Hardin and the other cowboys talked about a possible confrontation between Hardin and Abilene Marshal "Wild Bill" Hickok. When the drive ended, an encounter between Hardin and Wild Bill seemed inevitable. An Abilene saloon owner named Phil Coe had a grudge against Wild Bill, and knew of Hardin's reputation as a killer, so he asked Hardin to take care of Hickok for him. Hardin refused, saying, "If Wild Bill needs killing, why don't you kill him yourself." Hardin ignored Abilene's ordinance about wearing guns in town. When Wild Bill came to take his guns, Hardin pulled out his pistols, as if to give them up, then flipped them in such a way that they were now pointed at Hickok. The move is sometimes called the "Road Agent pin", and allowed Hardin to get the drop on Wild Bill. Hardin said, "Take 'em if you dare, long-haired scoundrel." Wild Bill "wilted" and suggested a compromise -- friendship and a round of drinks. On January 20, 1875, Texas offered a $4,000 reward for Hardin's arrest. But it wasn't until August 24, 1877 that Rangers and local authorities arrested Hardin, on a train in Pensacola, Florida. He was returned to Texas, tried, and sentenced to 25 years in Huntsville Prison. He was released in In August 1895, Hardin was shot to death by Constable John elman, in The Acme aloon, in El Paso, Texas, for remarks he made about elman's son. In his autobiography, Hardin admitted to killing 27 men, but most historians put the number at

26 Bat Masterson -- Defender of Dodge Gunslingers -- eason 2, Episode 3 William Barclay "Bat" Masterson ( ) spent the first half of his life in the "Wild West." During that period, he distinguished himself as a buffalo hunter, Indian fighter (during the celebrated econd Battle of Adobe Walls), civilian scout for the U.. Army, and as a gunfighter and lawman in Dodge City, Kansas and elsewhere. The "Wild West" phase of Masterson's life was essentially over by the mid 1880s when he was still in his early thirties. Buffalo Hunting: In his late teens, Bat and his brothers Ed and Jim left their family farm to become buffalo hunters. The man who hired them skipped out on payment for their work. It took Bat nearly a year, but he finally collected his overdue wages from Ritter at gunpoint. The econd Battle of Adobe Walls: Bat was engaged in buffalo hunting when he became an involuntary participant in the five-day siege at Adobe Walls. The two hundred Indians were led by famed Comanche Quanah Parker. The Indians suffered the most losses during the battle. While the actual number of Indians killed is not known, reports varied from a low of 30 to a high of 70. The Adobe Walls defenders lost only four men one of whom shot himself by accident. After being fought to a standstill, Quanah Parker and his followers rode off. Dodge City Lawman: Bat's first gunfight as a lawman took place in 1876 in weetwater, Texas. He was attacked and shot in the pelvis by a soldier, Corporal Melvin A. King. Bat recovered, but carried his famous cane for the rest of his life. In 1877, Bat was elected county sheriff of Ford County, Kansas. Within a month of Masterson's election, Bat's brother Ed was the city marshal of Dodge. Together, the Masterson brothers now controlled the city and county police forces. Bat remained active as a gunfighter and lawman in various Western towns until the mid-1880s. He was a main combatant for the anta Fe Railroad in the Royal Gorge Railroad War, worked for Wyatt Earp in Tombstone, was the City Marshal of Trinidad, Colorado, and one of the members of the "Dodge City Peace Commission". porting Man/Gambler: In the mid-1880s, Bat moved to Denver and established himself as a leading "sporting man," or gambler. He took an interest in prizefighting and became a leading authority on the sport. He would attend almost every important match and title fight in the United tates from the 1880s until his death in 1921.

30 Tom Horn -- Grim Reaper of the Rockies Gunslingers -- eason 1, Episode 6 Tom Horn was born in 1860 on a Missouri farm. During his childhood, the young Tom suffered physical abuse from his father, and his only companion as a child was a dog, which was killed in a childhood fight with two boys, who then beat Tom mercilessly. During the Apache wars, Tom gained fame as a civilian scout, packer and interpreter for the U.. Cavalry, under legendary Al ieber. He was eventually promoted to Chief of couts, and was instrumental in corralling Geronimo. After the war, Horn built a ranch in Arizona. His ranch consisted of 100 cattle and 26 horses, and he also laid claim in the Deer Creek Mining District near the canyon. Unfortunately, it was short-lived, as cattle thieves stormed his ranch one night, and stole all his stock, leading to a total loss and bankruptcy for Horn. This incident was probably responsible for Tom's hatred and disdain for thieves, and helped him choose the profession of range detective., Horn wandered and took jobs as a prospector, ranch hand, and rodeo contestant, but he is most famous as a "Range Detective". Numerous cattle companies employed him as a working cowboy and hired gun, to watch over their cattle, and kill any suspected criminals preying on them. Although his official title was "Range Detective," Horn essentially was a killer for hire. During the Colorado Range War, Horn rode the large cattle company ranges and ran off (or killed) homesteaders and rustlers. Eventually, he was gaining too much attention, so he moved his operation to the area around Iron Mountain, Wyoming. In Iron Mountain, Kels Nickell had introduced sheep onto range traditionally grazed by cattle. heep were hated, because they ate grass down to the roots, and ruined the range for cattle. On July 18, 1901, Willie Nickell, the 14-year-old son of Kels Nickell, was found murdered near the gate of the Nickell farm. Deputy Marshal Joe Lefors later questioned Horn in January 1902 about the murder, while supposedly talking to him about employment. Horn was inebriated from the night before, but Lefors gained what he called a confession to the murder of Willie Nickell. Horn allegedly confessed to killing the young Willie with his rifle from 300 yards, which he boasted as the "best shot he'd ever made and the dirtiest trick he'd ever done." Horn was arrested the next day by the county sheriff. Horn's trial started on October 10, 1902 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Cheyenne was filled with crowds, attracted by the notoriety of Horn and the carnival atmosphere. There was great interest from the public for a conviction. The prosecution introduced Horn's confession to Lefors. Only certain parts of Horn's statement were introduced, distorting his statement. The prosecution presented circumstantial evidence that placed Horn in the general vicinity of the crime scene. Horn was convicted and, on November 20, 1903, hanged for the crime. It has been over 100 years, and Horn's guilt/innocence continues to be debated today.

32 Bass Reeves -- The Real Lone Ranger Gunslingers -- eason 2, Episode 4 Bass Reeves ( ) was one of the first black Deputy U.. Marshals west of the Mississippi River, working mostly in Arkansas and the Oklahoma Territory. During his career, Bass arrested over 3,000 felons, and shot and killed fourteen outlaws in self-defense. Reeves was born into slavery in Crawford County, Arkansas in Reeves farmed until 1875, when Isaac Parker was appointed federal judge for the Indian Territory. Parker appointed James F. Fagan as U.. Marshal, directing him to hire 200 deputy U.. Marshals. Fagan had heard about Reeves, who knew the Indian Territory and spoke several Indian languages. He recruited Bass as a deputy, making him the first black deputy west of the Mississippi. Reeves was initially assigned as a Deputy U.. Marshal for the Western District of Arkansas, which included responsibility for the Indian Territory. He served there until 1893, when he transferred to the Eastern District of Texas. Four years later, Bass transferred to the Muskogee Federal Court in the Indian Territory. Reeves worked for thirty-two years as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory, and became one of Judge Parker's most valued deputies. Deputy Marshall Reeves was ambidextrous, and known to be deadly, quick and accurate with a pistol. He was also a skilled rifleman, though he was very humble when it came to describing his skills with his rifle. He often stated that he was only fair with one, but Bass was repeatedly banned from participating in Turkey shoots because of his skill. Reeves developed superior detective skills during his long career. He brought in some of the most dangerous criminals of the time, and he was never wounded, despite having his hat and belt shot off on several occasions. When Bass's son Bennie murdered his own wife, Deputy Marshal Reeves was disturbed and shaken by the incident, but demanded the responsibility of bringing Bennie to justice. Bennie was eventually tracked and captured, tried, and convicted. He served his time in Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. After his release, Bennie lived the rest of his life as a responsible and model citizen. In 1910, Reeves' health began to fail and he died. Bass was a great-uncle of Paul L. Brady, the first black man appointed a Federal Administrative Law Judge (in 1972). In 2007, the U.. Route 62 bridge crossing the Arkansas River between Muskogee and Fort Gibson, Oklahoma was named the Bass Reeves Memorial Bridge, in his honor. In 2012, a bronze statue of Reeves, by sculptor Harold Holden of Enid, Oklahoma, was cast at a foundry in Norman, Oklahoma. It was then moved to its permanent location at Pendergraft Park in Fort mith, Arkansas.
