This Day…

1895-After the Doolin Gang broke up Charlie Pierce and Bitter Creek George Newcombe stopped by the Dunn Ranch near Cimarron, New Mexico to collect a debt of $900 owed Newcombe by his brother-in-law, Bill Dunn. Instead Dunn shotgunned them both for the reward money. There was $5000 out on Newcombe alone. Newcombe was married to Dunn’s sister, Rosa. She was dubbed “Rose of Cimarron” by the Doolin Gang.
