Hunter & Evans were not so vigilant as Shiedleys, Daters, Boslers, Coad, Swan, Creighton, Paxton and many others, in keeping out the undesirables, but all had their troubles.

Floyd Grey was a "Bosler terrier" one season, but was let out at its close, as many another was let out for the same reason. Grey

was a very angry man, and said if he ever met George Bosler, he would knock his teeth down his throat with his six-shooter. George died a short time after, so that if the threat was ever put into execution, it was on Another Range.

Occasionally some one would come up the trail looking for the man who had killed his friend. Justification for killing the man, would lay in the fact that the proposed victim had taken unfair advantage of the friend and sent him away on the "long, long trail."

In some of the worst killing towns, it became the habit of the authorities to disarm the boys that went on a spree. Truly that took away a lot of the fun, but it lessened the danger. Not that the boys cared to avoid the dangers, but the Cattle-premiers did not want to lose their valuable men.

John Frantz was one of the boys that kept a gun just for the fun of hearing it pop. He was not a bad man, and had no homicidal traits of character. One day he arrived off the range at Kimball, and stopped at Ham Lilly's front street livery barn, which then stood next to the alley at the rear of the present Wheatgrowers hotel. Between the barn and the corner west, was Gassman's grocery store, and the few who could play horns, had gathered out in front of the store, practicing as "the Kimball Cornet Band." Johnny stepped into the alley beside the livery- stable, and espied a big sow, peacefully rooting into the stable debris.
