George Currie
George was widely quoted as being an outlaw was "just for the fun of it." A wanted poster was printed and circulated in Jun, 1899 and a reward of $3,000.00 was offered by the Union Pacific Express Co dead or alive for train robbery and cattle rustling. He ran with the Hole-in-the-Wall gang for a time and left taking several outlaws with him. The Gillette-Buffalo-Kaycee area of Wyoming knew George as a likable rancher who may have done a little rustling. The large cattle operations knew George as a man who did a lot of rustling and a little ranching on the side! He was implicated in an ambush murder of a Converse County Sheriff and 1897 murder of Johnson County deputy. Flat Nose has never known captivity and views any attempt to arrest him with deadly seriousness. |
