Each ___?___ below represents the name of the gunfighter in question. Source for this and future such posts is Bill O'Neal's Encyclopedia of Western Gunfighters.


September 14, 1896, Toyah, Texas.  A frightened Bud Frazer had left Texas for Carlsbad, New Mexico, but returned to the Pecos area to visit his mother and sister.  ___?___ learned of his nearby presence and immediately traveled to Toyah where he found Frazer in a saloon.  ___?___ pushed the swinging doors open with his shotgun, leveled the weapon, and calmly blasted away most of Frazer’s head.  When cursed shortly afterward by Frazer’s irate sister, ___?___ threatened to shoot her, too.


This shooter also had at least three nicknames.

You gotta love the Texas gunslingers.   :excuseme:
But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.  - Edmund Burke

Hext is right as usual.  It is James B. Miller (aka “Killin’ Jim”, “Killer Miller”, “Deacon”).

What I'd like to know is if our "Deacon" actually killed Pat Garrett, as some believe.
