A chain gang and lawmen in Borger, Texas during the period of extreme chaos that ensued after the discovery of oil there in 1926. Of all the oil boomtowns in Texas, it was in Borger that things got most out of control. Note the chain linking the prisoners. Notice the 2 lawman standing on the right. One has what appears to be a Colt SAA carried "Mexican Style". The other guy has what may be a holstered S&W. Hard to tell by the shape of the gripframe.

Seen a old picture of a guy who rode a buffalo. Back in 1961 I was working for the NPS in the Grand Tetons. We were playing cards late one night in our bunkhouse and two guys came to our door for help. Early that morning they were hiking high above us. They said a bull moose chased them up a tree. It left once so they climbed down and they said it came again from nowhere charging them again and again they climbed the tree and it kept them up until after dark. They said they seen our lights far below and decided to run for our camp. They were pretty hyped up.
