as long as they were able to pull a
trigger, were returning shot for
shot.
"Rattlesnake Jake" was the
first to fall and Fallon bit the dust
a few seconds later, when the firing
ceased and the bodies we're re
moved.
Owens had stood his ground
like a tiger at bay with eight gap
ing wounds in his body, and he
gave UP the fight only when the
ninth bullet crashed through his
head. Fallon, with one bullet
through his body, dropped his
rifle only when four more balls
had plowed their merciless way
through him.
Among the people of Lewistown
the question arose as to what these
two desperadoes had to gain by
their daring defiance of the com
munity. 1t could not be seen where
they had anything to gain or any
thing to lose.
There was no evidence that they

quet of "Ratt1esnake Jake" and
Charles Fallon.
The two desperate characters
had arrived on Big Spring creek
about three weeks before with a
small band Of horses which they
said they had driven from Wyom-
ing. They camped in various
places trading and selling off some
of the stock. Owners of horses in
the vicinity kept on the alert, be-
lieving them to be horse thieves.
The older of the pair, Rattle
snake Jake between IS and 40,
was of slim build, wore his dark
brown hair flowing over his
shoulders, and his thin lips, peaked
nose, sallow complexion and small
gray eyes made up a face that
to indicate a combination of
cruelty and daring. His weapons

were after plumber and the only
conclusion reached was that they
wished to terrorize the whole town
and when they had completely
cowed the peaceful residents, to
ride off to a safe retreat and gloat
over their exploits.
But unfortunately for them,
they had stumbled upon a people
who would not be inundated.
They found out to their extreme
cost that they had to deal with
men who would not paralyze at
the sight of a brace of six-shooters
in the hands of a pair of cut
threats.
A coroner's jury found that they

cartridge belt around his waist.
His companion was about the
same build and makeup, though
not quite as hard looking a char
acter, but wore his hair trimmed
short. He was about 80 years of
age and went by the name of
Charles Fallon. He usually car
ried a Winchester rifle and a knife,
but no revolver.
On the afternoon of the Fourth
of July the two rode into Lewis
town leading two pack horses.
Soon after their arrival a race was
