This Day…

1882-Nate Champion and Nick Ray were murdered by a hundred or so minions of the Wyoming Stockmens Association at the Kaycee Ranch in Johnson County, Wyoming.  Ray was gunned down at daybreak outside the cabin and heroically pulled to safety by Champion.  Ray soon expired and champion was put under siege inside the cabin.  When the cabin was set afire Champion made a break for it and was shot 28 times.  He left a detailed diary of events up to the fire.
