Think I’ll return to the Old West today. On this day in 1877, lawmen, gambler, businessman and rancher Pink Higgins gunned down all around bad guy and cattle thief Merritt Horrell. Higgins shot Horrell with a Winchester rifle at Jerry Scott’s Saloon in Lampasas, TX. Horrell got back up each time after being shot twice. He didn’t make it back up after the third and fourth time he was shot however. The Many Loves of Buffalo Bill is available in wide release. So far the reviews have been positive. Cody was a fascinating man. Hope to get some good news today about the western film Thunder Over the Prairie. I could use a little good news.
