To which Boot Hill resident does this inscription belong?

"_______?__________
Died of smallpox and
a cowboy threw a rope over
his feet and dragged him
to his grave"


While searching this one I found Lester moore buried in Silver City Nv also..


Is that your final answer?
 ???

Ya know who shot ole Lester four times with a .44?




Not mine.

John Blair, contracted the pox while rustlin' cattle.  Probably one the few if not only rustler drug hung, by the wrong end, and after he was already dead! ??? ::) ;D

Very good, Russ T.  Any idea who shot Lester Moore?

If we’re talkin’ the Tombstone Les, it was Hank Dunstan.  However Les did manage to put one fatal bullet into Hank, before goin’ down.  I guess Hank was slow, but accurate.


Right again, Russ T.  Now, tell us what the fight was about.

You're shore 'nuff right, WR.  Guess this just proves that where there's a "Will", there's a way. :D

Now, for the hard part. What was his (Glenn Will's) alias? (when Glenn Will was alive***)

***This addition necessitated by Slim's comment below. :P :-\ :'(

Capt. Hamp Cox, Sir:

Your link didn't work, but with the address, I was able to navigate to the site and within it to find what you all ready know.

This was quite a story, and Ol' "Bronco Bill" must have been one heck of a character.

Having never been accused of being a wirehead, I have no idea why you guys can't access that link.  I Googled it initially.  I can click on the url in the post above and it gives me a color photo of Glenn Will's grave site and marker.  Sorry 'bout that.
