AS he walked out the sheriff noticed
his boot which correspondent to the
tracks he had discovered at the scene
of the raid. He knew instantly that he
had n of the murderers.
The grand jury was convened to in
vestigate. Sheriff Aston, a friend Of
some OF the cattlemen, a warned mot
to pry too far into the matter" Excite
ment ran high throughout the whole
country. Some of the cattlemen talked
too much and while the grand Jury
was still celebrating, one William Gar
rison who had been called on the wit
ness stand, went out to a nearby ranch,
pulled off his boots so that it might
not be said he had died with his boots
on, crawled into a haystack and killed
himself. When this news reached Basin,
there was a mad scramble by both cat
tlemen and officers to the scene, one
in hopes of securing a dying statement
from the man and the other in the
hope of preventing such q statement.
The officers succeeded in getting there
first.
Three letters had been left by Gar
rison. These were examined by the cor
Oner'S jury and were said to implicate
a number of prominent citizens. II ex-
element had been high before, it was
dOubly so now.
Seven Arrests Made
Early In May, 1909, seven arrests

Allemand said, why, Herb, you
wouldn't shoot me, would your"
"The hell I wouldn't" was Drinks
reply as he fired.
After this the mob went wild as mobs
are apt to do. There was q great deal
of firing and it was not sure who did
shoot Allemand for any one Of several
wounds would have been fatal. Hun
dreds of sheep were left lying on the
ground and when the party tired of the
affair, they scattered the remaining
sheep to become the prey of coyotes and
bobcats that infested the country.
Telephone Wires Cut
Prior to the raid, the telephone wires
had all been cut so that it "a not I'M
til the following morning that word of
the affair reached Sheriff Aston at
Basin, Wyo. When he arrived at the
scene Of the tragedy, he found the
track of q mans boot where the heel
was worm off On n side. The track
showed that the shoe had also been
half -soled. Only in time did the sheriff
find these tracks for soon q light snow
was falling ~obliterating the tell-tale
prints.
Alemand and his herder were taken
to a neighboring ranch. The sheriff
wa present when Brink with another
neighbor came in to see the bodies
protesting a great shock at the event.

were made. These men were placed in
the Basin jail and guarded by the
state militia which had been sum-
moned by the sheriff. The trial did not
begin until November.
A few days before the trial opened,
pouring into the town. Each established
a camp on the outskirts not far apart.
Trouble was hourly expected between
the two factions. The militia walked
the streets prepared for fights. I'm
derneath the river bank at the edge
of the town was a power plant and un-
beknown to either party, a wire was
run from the plant to the captains
tent. It was so arranged that by press
ing any m of three buttons in the
power house, it would ring a bell in
the tent of the officer to war; him Of
trouble. It was necessary to use
this warning.
AS the trial proceeded, two of the
suspects weakened and turned states
evidence with the understanding that
they would not be prosecuted. This
aroused an added flame. The men were
placed under heavy guard at all times
and when the trial was over, they were
conducted to the train. One Of these
men was never seen again. The other,
up for a short time and then left.
Brink was convicted OF murder in the
first degree and sentenced to hang.
Conviction for the rest seemed SURE
A request from the attorneys of the
cattlemen for a conference was grant,
ed. At this conference, 2 compromise
sentence would be life imprisonment
providing two of the others would plead
guilty of murder in the second degree
and the other two would plead guilty
of arson.
Compromise Effected
In accordance with this agreement
two men by the name of Sabin and
Alexander, though not as guilty as the
were sentenced to serve from 20 to 26
years in the p~enitentiary. Two other
men then pleaded guilty of arson and
were sentenced to a term of from three
to five years.
Of the latter two, one died five
months before the expiration of his
term and the other served his three
old, broken man though young in
years. Alexander served eight years
and was released. Sabin was soon
made a "trusty" and was allowed to
work on the public highway. Authori-
ties sensed something going on while
the gang was working al Cody, Wyo.,
and an order was issued to return them
to the penitentiary. Before this was ac-
complished, Sabin made his escape. A
feeble attempt was made to recapture
him but he had too many friends in
the country and was never retaken.
Brink, who had allegedly been run
out of one section of Wyoming on &C
count of cattle stealing, was treated
royalty at the prison. The cattleman's
money was doing its work. In fact, he
was treated SO well by the officials
that the inmates began to look up to
him as some hero. He had been in the
penitentiary several years when a negro
was brought there from a county Jail
for fear the mob would hang him for
an alleged crime against 2 white wom-
an. Brink was the leader among the
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1937-05-28

convicts to take the negro and hang
him to the topmost gangway Of the
cell house. An investigation followed
of which nothing came.
In 1914, Brink was paroled and in
1917 he violated his parole and left
the country. Through the help of his
half sister he was eventually caught
and returned to the Jail where he lived
in constant fear of having the same
treatment melted out to him as he had
given the negro.
This affair marked the end Of the
cattle rule. Hatreds never again as
sumed such large proportions though it
was many years before the feud died
out entirely.

On the other hand, had always run

as laid down by the stockmen. He was
a man well liked by his neighbors, both
sheepmen and cattlemen. It was ms
misfortune that he had gone into part
nership with Emge.
Crossed Forbidden Line
It was not without preparation that
the two men started across h Tor
hidden territory. Their herders were
armed and warned to be constantly on
the alert. A night watch was kept on
the herds.
AS the sheep approached the cattle
territory, there was a great deal OF
excitement apparent among the cat
tlemen. Faris,, q cattleman, was run
ming bulls and this gave them an OPP,
portunity to come there on what seemed
legitimate business for it was Just at
the time when the bulls were to be
turned out or trailed home.
The two sheepmen varily proceeded
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1937-05-28

on their way until they were across the
line. Believing themselves safe at last,
they relaxed their vigil. This was what
the cattlemen were waiting for. They
also thought that A1lemand, the :lan
for whom all of them had the greatest
regard, would not be there that night.
It was on the night of April Sd, 1909,
when the cattlemen congregated and
started for the sheep camp. It was
agreed beforehand that there was to be
no killing other than that of the sheep.
The wagons were to be burned and fear
instilled in the breasts Of the herders.
Emge was not q man to tamely sub
NIT to mob violence and when relaxing
in his wagon, the mob descended upon
1t and ordered him and his herder to
come out and come out with their
hands up, he refused. The grim raid
ers were in no mood to be trif1ed with.
Without a moments hesitation, they
set fire to the wagon, the two men in
side burning up with it.
Shot His Friend
The wagon where A1lemand was stay
ing was q short distance away from
Emge's wagon. When he heard the
shooting, he came running out Of his
wagon with his hands in the air. A man
by the name Of Brink, as cold-blooded
a scoundrel as ever lived, leveled his
gun at him.
