Sleep on brave heart, in peaceful slumber,
Bravest scout in all the West;
Lightning eyes and voice of thunder,
Closed and hushed in quiet rest.
Peace and rest at last is given,
May we meet again in heaven.
Rest in peace

I hear that that no-good bummer, Jack McCall has been acquitted by a miners' court! Personally, I say, there is no doubt he shot Mr. Hickok! Get a rope!

They did. He was re-tried after the decision in the original trial was made null and void and set aside. If I remember correctly he was the first man hanged in Utah.

Utah is a ways from Deadwood. He was hanged in Yankton, Dakota Territory.

O.K., like I said i didn't remember for sure, but either way he's just as hung.
