Name That Gunfighter 26
« on: March 21, 2004, 11:29:10 AM »
Miller saddled up and rode back to Pecos, where he was promptly jailed for murder. Before he went to jail, he grandly ordered all of Frazer's supporters to leave the county. ___?___, at least, stayed around town, but kept his powder dry. Instead, he tangled with two Miller henchmen in the Orient Saloon. One of them, Bill Earhart, was the man who had acted as lookout for Miller in Toyah.

Earhart got off the first shot, but ___?___ drilled the man between the eyes. Chasing the second man into the street, ___?___ blew off the back of his head. Scooping up a few of the brains, he promised to send them to the widow of the man Miller had killed for revealing the first Frazer ambush. Tried for murder in El Paso, ___?___ was promptly acquitted.

NOTE from Hamp:  “Miller” is James B. Miller, aka “Killin’ Jim”,  “Deacon Jim”, and “Killer Miller”.

That would be "Barney Riggs".

Where'd you come from, Doc?  Thought you got lost during the "outage".

Figured this one might go unanswered for a little while at least.  Glad to see you haven't lost it like some of us.  Your answer is shore 'nuff correct.  

My source for the question was http://www.theoldwestwebride.com/txt1a/miller.html.

I've had to put off several things in the last few months but, things is looking up for a change.
