On a blizzardy morning in 1892, fifty armed men surrounded the
cabin on Powder River where two cattle rustlers had spent the
night. The first rustler was shot as he came down the path for a
bucket of water. The second man held out until afternoon, when the
vigilantes set the cabin afire. Driven out by the flames, he was
shot a dozen times. It was another skirmish in the War on Powder
River. The War began to smolder in 1875 and at stake was nothing
less than dominion over the new state of Wyoming. Cattlemen
demanded control of the range. Farmers denounced the "invasion from
Texas" as more and more hired gunmen moved into the state. Threats,
counter-threats, and legal maneuvers were soon accompanied by
shooting and the noose.
