Subdeacon Joe Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 http://www.desertusa.com/desert-people/john-slaughter-lawman.html Judge Clayton Baird, who rode with Slaughter, said, "Unlike squalid old badge wearers such as John Selman and Wild Bill Hickok, John Slaughter was basically a very reserved sort of man. Nobody who wished to keep on calling terms with him overstepped that boundary I always felt between ordinary casual friendliness and egregious overfamiliarity. "Years before, I would learn, a breezy stranger, trading on his Southern accent, had twice dared address him as ‘Tex.’ The second time was the last time. Slaughter had turned, stared the fellow out of countenance through piercing black eyes and said, ‘My name is Slaughter, sir. If you ever have reason to greet me, I would advise you to remember the name is Slaughter.’" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 "Alvord then turned to a profitable career as a train and bank robber, and finally, he traveled to the West Indies and disappeared from history." A Man after my own heart; make the big bucks and head for the Caribbean. LL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
