The big cattle operations had had unlimited use of open range
for years, then the gommint started parceling out the land to
homesteaders who were farmers (sodbusters). The farmers were
putting up fence which the cattlemen would cut. The cattlemen
claimed all the unbranded calves etc. The cattlemen would try
to have farmers prosecuted as cattle thieves but there were
more farmers than cattlemen so farmers were on the juries and
always voted to acquit. Exasperated, the cattlemen hired an ex
Pinckerton agent named Tom Horn to come in and dispense
some frontier justice with his (then new) Winchester .30-.30.
Most of the guys Horn picked off were genuine cow and horse
thieves but someone shot the young son of a farmer and Horn
was blamed and got the long drop, short rope treatment. That's
the short version.
