That gang was composed of John Hunter, alias Dick Smith: Bob Johnson Wilson. alias Smith: Tod Carver and one un- known man. They were heading for old Mexico. The outlaws were armed with 30-40 Winchesters. Scarborough evidently did not realize he was on the trail of this murderous gang, or he would not have been so easily trapped.
