There is no question in my mind
but what Frank felt worse than the
governor did about the hanging.
Frank really took life seriously and in
taking the life of the Mexican, who
probably owed it to the good of the
community, would much rather have
faced a battery of six-guns himself

of the thing.
During the "Hash Knife" epidemic
it is related that Frank would go
among t,-e visiting cowpunchers with
great freedom and collect up their ar
tillery for safe keeping. In those dlls
too, it was considered most impolite
to request that cowperson should
go undressed-positively naked
without side arms. In any event it

been Franks motto, but in any event
