Medicine Lodge

THE END

It happened on the way back to Dodge from a trip to a straggling little settlement to the southeast called Medicine Lodge.

That country was a lot different from the flat prairie land around Dodge City.

Down there, it was dotted with buttes and hills of gypsum and red shield, and it was cut by narrow, winding canyons.

It is said that Fred Wyatt in later years served as a member of the Oklahoma Legislature.

Henry Brown became city marshal of Caldwell, Kansas, and while wearing his star rode to the nearby town of Medicine Lodge with three companions and in broad daylight held up the bank killing the president, Wiley Payne, and his cashier, George Jeppert.

This put an end to Henry Brown as the enraged citizens mobbed the whole band of bad men.

The snow had begun to fly when the Kid and the remnant of his gang returned to Fort Sumner, New Mexico.
