The Spring Creek raid, also known as the Tensleep Murders or the Tensleep Raid, occurred in 1909 and was the last serious conflict during the Sheep Wars in Wyoming, as well as the deadliest sheep raid in the state's history.  On the night of April 2, the sheepherder Joe Allemand and four of his associates were encamped along Spring Creek, near the town of Ten Sleep, when a group of seven masked cattlemen attacked them.  It remains uncertain as to whether or not an exchange of gunfire took place between the two parties, but evidence suggests that Allemand and two of his men were executed while the remaining two escaped unharmed.  Two sheep wagons were also destroyed by fire and about two dozen head of sheep were shot to death.  Seven men were arrested for the crime, two of whom turned state's evidence and were acquitted.  The rest were found guilty and sent to prison for sentences ranging from three years to life in prison.  The conviction of the Tensleep murderers effectively put an end to the killings on the open range and exemplified the arrival of law and order in a region that still retained its rugged frontier environment after the end of the 19th century.  Although there continued to be sheep raids in Wyoming into the 1910s, there were no more deaths. Patricia Highsmith (January 19, 1921 – February 4, 1995) was an American novelist and short story writer, known for her psychological thrillers, which led to more than two dozen film adaptations.  Her first novel, "Strangers on a Train", has been adapted for stage and screen numerous times, notably by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951.  Highsmith wrote 22 novels, including her series of five novels with Tom Ripley as protagonist, and many short stories.  Existentialism is the literary movement that most influenced her writing, with "Dostoyevsky and Gide through Camus and Sartre" among her favorite authors.  Graham Greene described Highsmith as "the poet of apprehension rather than fear.  Fear after a time...is narcotic, it can lull one by fatigue into sleep, but apprehension nags at the nerves gently and inescapably."  Published under the pseudonym of "Claire Morgan," Highsmith wrote the first lesbian novel with a happy ending, "The Price of Salt", republished 38 years later as "Carol" under her own name. "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" is the 20th episode of "The Simpsons"' sixth season.  It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on April 9, 1995.
