the registration of brands and wyoming came in to the wyoming stock growers association. .ou reported your brand the stock growers association -- detectives. the theft of cattle is simply larceny. theoretically, what happened in cattle theft is that the perpetrators were arrested, taken to the county courthouse and given a speedy trial. as a practical matter, the distances involved often ended in death. if a person was found rustling cattle and caught, they could expect not to be coming back in. it sounds barbaric, but if you look around this territory and realize how far out you are at any one time, bringing a person and is not an easy thing to do. people often didn't do it. there had been a lot of dissatisfaction among the big interest in central wyoming up to 1892. that began the process of some assassinations in the southern johnson county area where someone was taking the law into their own hands, and there is a lot of talk about who was responsible for that. in the winter of 1891 and 1892, interests from the neighboring county, converse county, began to propose a solution, what

here is the wire from the governor of the state of wyoming. so there was a lot of fear about that later. in 1892 they came up on the far side of casper and they got off the train and they got their horses and they started riding north. the objective of was to write to southern johnson county. when they arrived it is covered that one of their primary target was only a little bit further north. and they talk to the man that they attacked and it was november 301 of 1891 and they had not been successful. instead they shot back at him and he became the prime witness in the case of attempted murder. so they wanted to kill him because he was the primary witness against criminal charges that were being vigorously pursued against the leaders of the assassination squad that were the big shots in the association and i believe it was the ninth of april of 1892 and the idea is that they were going to kill these men and the only problem was that one was a very tough guy. so there were 50 men lazing around him and by 3:00 o'clock there were three wounded in

so he did what politicians in wyoming do, which is you go door to door. this is a state where you can meet almost everybody who is going to vote in an election -- it is still true, and it was certainly true when cheney first campaigned to go to congress. you could get in that car and start driving to communities and knocked on almost every door. worked very hard now in the , he hadf the campaign his first heart attack. he was 37 years old and had a heart attack. there certainly was a moment where one might have considered -- and he did -- "should i drop out? is this the end of it?" he did not. he was very forthright about it. "i've had this problem. i had this heart attack. i'm still going to run. i have to rest for a time, and then i will be back on the campaign trail or co -- campaign trail." he did just fine with the voters. i think he got over 60% of the vote. i think the piece of legislation dick cheney would be most remembered for in the house of representatives and would rather surprise some people is the wyoming wilderness bill. it was a bigger co

in wyoming, he was, yes. but he was never convicted in court for any of those suspected assassinations. have evidence, for instance, from some of his friends -- at least two of his friends who worked with him on john coble's cattle ranch in the 1920's. they admitted that they were at the time of the two killings in 1895 syria they admitted that they saw horn riding away from these shooting scenes -- they admitted that they were eyewitnesses at the time of the two killings in 1895. it became common knowledge on the streets of cheyenne and on that horn was instrumental in these killings. the two killings in northwestern colorado in 1900 are in a sense even better documented in a way because newspapers, in describing these events, practically named tom horn as the assassin because he was boastful. light district of laramie and cheyenne, he would and het stone drunk, would apparently feel compelled to tell it all, so he would tell these people around him what he had done. it's amazing that he was able to get us f

wyoming in this time was really a republican state. all of the political rate -- leadership was princely republican. after the cattle war, the republican party a pretty significant blow at first. they were so heavily implicated in what had occurred. it did result in governor barbour's political downfall. governor osborne, a democrat, came in. barbour actually refused to surrender office in an event that is almost surreal. osborn basically had to enter through the window because barbour wouldn't leave. we had a real peculiar time when this occurred. over a year, this was a huge political issue. at the end of the year, those who were arrested and thought they were going to stand trial really did not. there was a lot of early courtroom maneuvering. the county had to pay to house prisoners, even if they were outside the county. johnson county just couldn't afford it. at the end of the year or so, they were let go. the net impact of the cattle wars is interesting in that when you look at it, it would have appeared that the small cattlemen p
