MASSACRE AT SLAUGHTER GULCH!
While North and South, now united,
celebrated our nation's independance,
The founder of
Slaughter lynched a Railroad
Comany man and a
government agent!
Horrified by these
events, the town's
honest prospectors,
led by Tobias McCarthy,
owner of the General
Store, took up arms.
Jed Stone and his men then
hid up in the mountain.
But dynamite thrown by the
valient defendersof orer
ignited methane pockets,
and Stone's lawless band was
compoletely buried beneath
a mountain of rocks.
Members of the 7th Cavalry
searched in vain for survivors.
