1899 – Buckskin Frank Leslie came home to his ranch bad drunk from a week long toot in Tombstone. He got into an argument with his girlfriend, Mollie Williams, and in a jealous rage shot her dead. He also shot Jim Neal, a hired hand, who witnessed the shooting. Neal recovered and testified against Leslie, who was found guilty of murder and sent off to Yuma Prison. Many years later Neal hired Leslie as a swamper in a Bay area saloon.
