A Black Day-March 26th, 1878

Following the infamous shootout between ‘Smilin’ Jake’ and Buck Black in Cricket County, the crooked lawman has gone to ground. An eye witness to the shooting had these words, “Me an’ Carl sawed thu hol’ thang. That Black lawman tol’ ol’ Jake tu throw down his guns on account of him bein’ in the middle of robbin a bank an all. Well Jakey weren’t no pansy ass Deputy an’ said ‘Bart drop the gun an’come quiet’. Well Black he did drop the gun. An’ drew two more frum under his coat! Cut the man down like an ear o’corn right bufor’ us. I remember Black lafi n’ as he took my money that sonafabitch!” Buck Black’s where-abouts are currently unknown but numerous sightings of a man matching his description have been made as recently as four days ago heading south into Arizona.
