His name was R.H. King, and was from Gettsburg, Pa. The accident occurred at Table Rock, and he was on his way to God’s land, having just quit work for Gen’l Casement. The cars were moving rapidly when he attempted to get aboard, lost his footing, dropped beneath the terrible iron wheels and was crushed almost to pieces.

When within fifty yards they ordered the thieves to hold up their hands, whereupon they grabbed their guns and asked, “what do you want?” and were answered “you.” The thieves replied, “you can’t get us,” and commenced firing, and of course the fire was returned, resulting in the killing of two thieves, Sam Connor and Harry Coon. The third desperado was arrested and brought to Green River, with nine horses. In the beginning of the shooting, Gillman was first made the mark for Connor’s rifle, but when he saw Turner he said, “Sam, you s-n of a b-h,” and fired two shots, when he fell dead, pierced by a rifle ball through the head and a charge of buck shot through the body, and his rifle cocked for the third fire. Coon was shot almost exactly in the same manner. The two arrested here are Jas. King and E. Orfield, alias, Bannock Jim, and the one captured at camp, John Orford. The officers abandoned their horses and were forty-eight hours afoot, without refreshments. --- Frontier Index, September 25, 1868 Fatal Shooting Affray ROBINSON’S FERRY, Sep. 22, ‘68 ED. INDEX: Joe Caldwell and party of eight from Emmigrant Gulch, on the Yellowstone, arrived here about nine o’clock yesterday morning, and after passing a short distance below, they decided to separate and some go to South Pass City, some to Fort Bridger, and the remainder to Green River City. In dividing their things, some misunderstanding took place, words, blows and pistol shots followed, resulting in the instant death of Joe Russell and wounding of Charlie Hopkins. A pistol ball entered Russell’s right side, just below the shoulder blade, and came out about the center of the lower left jaw. He was interceding to prevent the difficulty. He was formerly from the state of Indiana. The deceased was buried as decently as circumstances would admit. Hopkins’ is a flesh wound in the right leg, painful though not serious.
