0:00·of course the Wild West was for the most
0:02·part not all that wild our entire vision
0:04·is more skewed by B Westerns and dime
0:07·novels than reality but like anything
0:09·else there were times when truth was
0:11·well more exciting than fiction on April
0:14·14th 1881 the rough and tumble boom town
0:18·of El Paso Texas lived up to its
0:20·reputation as the six shooter capital of
0:22·the world in a gunfight that's more
0:24·exciting than anything you'll find in a
0:27·in a Hollywood western even if it's not
0:29·nearly as well remembered as the Okay
0:31·Corral it is history that deserves to be

0:39·remembered the website of the Texas
0:41·State Historical Association explains
0:43·"El Paso is at the far western tip of
0:46·Texas where New Mexico and the Mexican
0:48·state of Chihuahua meet in a harsh
0:49·desert environment around the slopes of
0:51·Mount Franklin on the Rio Grand which
0:53·has often been compared to the Nile as
0:56·they approached the Rio Grand from the
0:57·south Spaniards in the 16th century

1:11·right bank of the Rio Grand and El Paso
1:13·Texas on the opposite side of the river
1:16·the border was established by the treaty
1:18·of Guadalupe Hidalgo making quite war a
1:21·border town in 1850 a small settlement
1:23·called Franklin on the north side of the
1:25·river became what the Texas State
1:26·Historical Association calls the nucleus
1:28·of El Paso Texas and El Paso County was
1:31·established in March the town however
1:34·remained quite small the city of El Paso
1:36·was incorporated in 1873 but in 1876 the
1:39·city council was disbanded because of
1:41·lack of interest wild West historian
1:44·Fred Eaged in 1982 that prior to the
1:46·arrival of the railroad the town
1:47·population was just some 500 and
1:49·Mexicans far outnumbered Anglo the
1:52·proximity to the border was a point of
1:54·tension in 1877 a conflict over the
1:56·possession of salt lakes at the bottom
1:58·of the Guadalupe Mountains turned into a
2:00·conflict between Mexicans and Anglo
2:02·resulting in a score of deaths including
2:04·the murder of a district judge the
2:06·border tensions would continue as was
2:08·often the case in the American West the
2:10·coming of the railroad in 1881
2:12·transformed the community as the state
2:14·historical association explains most
2:16·authorities agree that the arrival of
2:17·the railroads in 1881 and 1882 was the
2:20·single most significant event in El Paso
2:22·history as it transformed a sleepy dusty
2:24·little adobe village of several hundred
2:26·inhabitants into a flourishing frontier
2:29·community eagloff writes that by 1880
2:31·the population had increased to 700 and
2:33·doubled over the course of the year the
2:36·boom brought however lawlessness rather
2:38·than civilization the Cincinnati
2:39·Inquirer reported in April of 1881
2:42·"Regarding the point of maintaining
2:44·order we saw yesterday a letter from Mr
2:46·eh Cowing a former resident of Wyoming
2:48·written from El Paso on the 15th which
2:50·states "We have been here but three days
2:53·and there have been 12 men killed in
2:54·that time i saw four shot yesterday
2:57·there's an army of desperados following
2:58·the railroad construction that are the
3:00·worst daredevils in the world." Ryan
3:03·Heiser explained in Borderlands a
3:05·publication of El Paso Community College
3:07·el Paso for a time was nothing more than
3:09·a lawless boom town riddled with crime
3:11·of all sorts with gambling and
3:12·prostitution as the epicenter of
3:14·business in the town infamously known as
3:16·the six shooter capital the murder rate
3:19·was astonishingly high almost out of
3:21·control part of the issue was the lack
3:23·of presence of law enforcement as a 2001
3:25·issue of Borderlands writes El Paso
3:27·became a safe haven for all kinds of
3:29·criminals refugees from both Mexico and
3:31·the United States hid there since the
3:33·closest sheriff's office was over 15
3:35·miles away and Texas Ranger showed up
3:37·only now and then nearby Fort Bliss had
3:39·its hands full protecting settlers from
3:41·Indians attempts to bring the
3:43·lawlessness under control were well
3:45·inconsistent the town council seemed for
3:47·some time unsure whether to embrace the
3:49·opportunities offered by the influx of
3:51·gambling and prostitution or to try to
3:53·take control of the town in the interest
3:54·of encouraging future investment a step
3:57·towards order was taken in July of 1880
3:59·with the election of the first city
4:01·marshal John B tayes who had been a
4:03·Texas Ranger who participated in the
4:05·assault war eagle Offer said he received
4:07·no salary was expected to live off his
4:09·share of fines assessed against
4:11·offenders he arrested he served as
4:13·marshall from July to October 1880 but
4:15·his tenure came to an end owing to a
4:17·pothole the El Paso Museum of History
4:19·explains "It was poor city engineering
4:21·that cost him his job as marshall ta had
4:23·attempted to fill a particularly large
4:25·street pothole with town garbage and the
4:28·results were less than desirable in the
4:29·city council's eyes he was replaced by
4:32·his assistant AI Stevens who lasted just
4:34·a month before being relieved for
4:36·dereliction of
4:38·duty stevens was replaced by George
4:41·Campbell campbell had been a deputy
4:42·sheriff in Klay County in North Texas
4:45·came to El Paso in November of 1880 in
4:47·anticipation of the arrival of the
4:48·railroad where I explained he felt he
4:51·could get in on the ground floor and
4:53·build a prosperous future of Campbell's
4:55·tenure historian Eugene Cunningham wrote
4:57·in 1982 "Nothing has ever been said that
5:00·would put doubt on his personal bravery
5:02·but he was a gravely handicapped for his
5:04·impartial execution of a policeman's
5:06·duties." By a close friendship which is
5:08·known as the sporting crowd like many
5:11·other policemen in this condition
5:12·Campbell found it very difficult to
5:14·police the town and make justified
5:15·arrest without treading the toes of his
5:17·friends or which is always worse the
5:19·friends of his friends but that is not
5:22·what would lead to the resignation of
5:23·the town's third marshall in as many
5:25·months igluff places the blame at the
5:27·foot of El Paso's mayor a prosperous
5:29·businessman named Sman Schultz who had a
5:32·reputation for taking advantage where he
5:34·could igluff writes "The mayor was
5:36·evidently using a similar technique on
5:38·his city marshals he would paint a
5:39·glowing picture of the position and the
5:41·opportunities it offered but he would
5:43·not provide pay." The Ashland
5:46·Independent reported he made many
5:48·arrests and always without harshness or
5:50·use of any arms the mayor however being
5:52·a merchant made his office subservient
5:53·to his business and either would not
5:55·fine a Mexican or make the fine very
5:58·light because it was courting their
5:59·trade and so likewise with the Americans
6:02·this was of course a problem as Marshall
6:04·Cunningham depended upon a percentage of
6:05·fines as his salary also speculates that
6:08·Schulz expected Campbell to supplement
6:10·his income by shaking down gamblers and
6:12·prostitutes something that he was too
6:14·upright to do in any case the problem
6:17·led to a confrontation between Campbell
6:19·and the city council cunningham writes
6:21·in his turn Campbell had a complaint he
6:23·thought that the arduous duties of city
6:25·marshall were worth a good deal more
6:26·than the council paid him he demanded a
6:29·raise in his salary and the council took
6:30·this as an excellent excuse for
6:32·dispensing with his services campbell
6:35·resigned at the end of December
6:37·this brought up an interesting issue the
6:39·position now devolved upon Campbell's
6:41·assistant one Bill Johnson who Eagle
6:43·describes as having a badly crippled arm
6:45·and was known as the town drunk
6:48·cunningham writes "So Bill Johnson was
6:50·brought in and informed that he was city
6:51·marshal prom that he would thereafter
6:54·walk and act and drink as such he seems
6:56·to have received the elevation very
6:58·modestly not to say indifferently
7:00·certainly it made no difference in his
7:02·conduct what came next is a matter of
7:04·dispute igloff writes that the impending
7:06·resignation of the marshall set the town
7:08·up for what was probably the wildest new
7:10·year ever recorded in any town in the
7:12·Wild West word leaked out and was
7:15·intentionally passed around that there
7:16·would be no law enforcement on January
7:18·1st
7:20·1881 cunningham faults Campbell's
7:22·friends but Campbell's friends were
7:24·annoyed by his deposition he had been
7:26·the sort of city marshal to completely
7:27·suit them and anyone could see that Bill
7:29·Johnson was not apt to hold the office
7:30·very long if he should be replaced by a
7:33·stranger well it could easily prove
7:35·inconvenient so get Campbell back his
7:37·job was the cry the plan Cunningham
7:40·explains was to show to city council
7:41·what a wicked town El Paso had come to
7:43·be how necessary it was that some strong
7:45·hand grip the reigns how desirable that
7:48·George Campbell be reinstated at the
7:50·higher salary that he had demanded
7:52·whether by a plot of Campbell's friends
7:54·or simply the lack of law enforcement
7:56·pandemonium Cunningham writes broke
7:58·loose eigloff writes that within an hour
8:01·or two into 1881 all hell broke loose in
8:03·El Paso the downtown section was lit up
8:05·with gun flashes cuttingham writes
8:08·"Windows were smashed and doors were
8:09·splintered and property in general
8:11·pretty thoroughly wrecked." Eagleof
8:13·notes that they placed market attention
8:14·in their pistol practice on his honor
8:16·the mayor's store and private residence
8:19·while the falling out between the mayor
8:20·and Campbell continued eventually
8:22·leading to Campbell threatening to shoot
8:23·the mayor and the mayor filling out a
8:25·warrant for his arrest the town called
8:27·on the help of attachment of Texas
8:29·Rangers to bring order but it was only a
8:31·temporary solution cunningham writes
8:32·"Rangers could only be used in such a
8:34·capacity for no more than an emergency
8:36·the town needed a marshall." On January
8:39·16th they hired a man named Ed Copeland
8:41·with a wage of $50 a month and $40 for a
8:45·deputy this seemed to be an insult to
8:47·Campbell as it proved that the council
8:48·could indeed afford to pay the marshall
8:50·a wage but the council also included an
8:52·ordinance that the marshall had to post
8:53·a performance bond of $500 copud was
8:56·apparently unable to and was dismissed
8:59·with little option the council confirmed
9:00·Johnson again as Marshall but the
9:02·council was looking for someone else
9:04·someone who was without the connections
9:05·that some insisted had resulted in bias
9:07·by Campbell cunningham writes "The stage
9:10·came in from New Mexico bringing a
9:12·blonde six-footer with chin like a great
9:14·ruffune oak
9:16·block." Dallas Studenmire was born in
9:18·Alabama and though underage had served
9:20·with Confederacy in the Civil War the
9:22·Texas State Historical Association
9:24·writes "He arrived in Columbus Texas
9:26·about 1867 and repeatedly killed several
9:28·men for a while in January 1874 he was a
9:32·second sergeant in JR Waller's Company A
9:34·of the Texas Rangers he then lived
9:36·briefly in the panhandle before serving
9:38·a stent as marshall of Sakuro New Mexico
9:41·weer writes that his brother-in-law and
9:43·El Paso Texas resident Stanley Doc
9:45·Cummings convinced student to accept the
9:47·job position a town marshal of El Paso
9:51·he presented himself to the town council
9:53·where Cunningham explains even more
9:55·impressive than his record was the
9:56·presence of the man himself he was
9:58·lionlike as his blue eyes turned slowly
10:00·from one to another of the council suden
10:03·Meyer was hired while he was associated
10:05·with several weapons including a cult
10:07·revolver that had a saw-off barrel for
10:10·concealment he was known to carry two
10:12·nickelplated Smith and Wesson 44 caliber
10:14·pistols that he drew from his trouser
10:16·pockets which he had lined with leather
10:17·for a quick draw thus he was called the
10:20·two gun marshall his appointment would
10:23·lead to confrontation quickly the
10:25·council sent the new marshall to collect
10:26·the keys from Johnson but Johnson proved
10:28·uncooperative weiser writes "According
10:30·to nearby witnesses testimonies Stude
10:33·Meer approached and asked the
10:34·intoxicated Johnson for the keys the
10:36·drunk mumbled that he had to go home to
10:38·figure out which keys were his and which
10:39·were the cities an impatient Stude again
10:42·demanded the keys though Johnson
10:44·continued his delay living up to his
10:46·tough and uncompromising reputation
10:48·Stude Meer physically turned Johnson
10:50·upside down and personally retrieve the
10:52·keys himself leaving the drunken former
10:54·deputy marshal publicly humiliated the
10:57·website Legends of America notes
10:59·Studenmire was wasting no time living up
11:01·to his formidable
11:02·reputation meanwhile more trouble was
11:04·brewing the bodies of two Mexicans were
11:07·discovered near a ranch outside of town
11:09·apparently the two had been tracking men
11:10·who had stolen cattle when they were
11:12·killed a local rancher named Johnny Hail
11:14·a suspected rustler was suspected hail
11:17·was part of the sporting crowd a friend
11:19·of George Campbell and was brought in by
11:21·the Texas Rangers and a posy of some 75
11:24·Mexicans was allowed into town a deputy
11:26·sheriff and former US marshal named Gus
11:28·Crimcow was brought in to translate
11:30·during the ensuing
11:31·inquest during a recess Hail confronted
11:34·Crimcow the exact situation was well
11:36·confusing the Galveastston Texas Daily
11:39·News reported that John Hail who is said
11:41·to be a bad man when under the influence
11:42·of liquor made an unsuccessful attempt
11:44·to intimidate the new marshall Mr
11:46·stommyer who entered on duty today hail
11:50·fired at Crimall a policeman and killed
11:52·him grim call firing at the same time at
11:54·Hail and wounding him student Meyer then
11:56·killed Hail and a Mexican accidentally
11:58·with the same shot gw Campbell a friend
12:00·of Hail attempted to draw his pistol and
12:02·was mortally wounded by the Marshall but
12:05·to underline the confusion the news also
12:07·offered another account saying that the
12:09·conflict was because a dispute arose
12:11·about those armed Mexicans between GW
12:13·Campbell John Hail and Crimall a
12:15·policeman hail covered Crimall and
12:18·shooting commenced hail shot Grim Call
12:20·and the Marshall shot Hail and a Mexican
12:22·accidentally he also shot Campbell the
12:24·San Francisco Chronicle reported that
12:26·the fight was the result of a conflict
12:28·between Americans and the Mexicans the
12:30·row became general and the bullets flew
12:32·thick during the melee John Hall
12:34·mistaking one Krempton for a Mexican
12:36·shot and instantly killed him and was
12:37·himself shot by an American the town
12:39·marshal having tried unsuccessfully to
12:41·quell the disturbance took part himself
12:42·and fatally wounded one Campbell and a
12:45·Mexican
12:46·the Deadwood South Dakota Pioneer Times
12:48·wrote yet another account hail fired and
12:50·killed John Crympton a policeman who
12:52·fired at the same time and wounding the
12:53·new elected Marshall Studenmire and
12:55·killing Hail and a Mexican bystander
12:57·with the same shot george Campbell a
12:59·friend of Hales attempted to draw his
13:01·pistol and was mortally wounded by
13:02·Marshall Studenmire
13:04·there is disagreement still today over
13:06·the exact sequence of events but it is
13:08·clear that Hail fatally shot Kimaw
13:10·although some accounts have him being
13:11·drunk and using one of Cample's pistols
13:13·and Student Meer running towards the
13:15·sound of the shots shot Hail and an
13:17·innocent bystander and then he killed
13:19·the former marshal George Campbell
13:21·exactly why is not clear eagle writes
13:23·based on Campbell's own account that
13:25·Student Meer first shot Campbell in the
13:27·arm and then shot a mortal wound as
13:28·Campbell tried to draw his revolver
13:31·cunningham writes that Campbell had
13:32·drawn his revolver and backed away
13:34·saying "This is not my fight." And
13:35·Student Meer seeing him with his gun out
13:37·shot legends of America writes that Crim
13:40·mortally wounded shot Campbell in the
13:41·wrist and toe and Student Meer saying
13:43·Crimcow shooting assumed that he had
13:45·been shot by Campbell and responded
13:47·several accounts say that Campbell shot
13:48·four times in the stomach cried "You big
13:51·son of a [ __ ] you murdered me." Hail
13:53·and the unnamed Mexican bystander were
13:55·dead campbell and KMCO mortally wounded
13:58·died shortly after legends of America
14:00·writes "Four men laid dead in less than
14:02·five seconds in a near comic opera gun
14:05·battle." The gunfight was well
14:06·publicized in newspapers and cities as
14:08·far away as San Francisco and New York
14:10·City and made Student Meer a legend the
14:13·confusing fight became known as the four
14:15·dead in 5 Seconds gunfight the gunfight
14:19·was certainly proof that the Wild West
14:20·could be quite violent especially in a
14:22·boom town like El Paso where rapid
14:24·growth brought all sorts of social
14:26·conflict and order was slow to establish
14:28·the conflict would go on the drunk
14:30·Johnson tried to get revenge against
14:32·Student Meer ambushing him with a double
14:34·barrel shotgun and proving what a town
14:36·drunk he was by missing with both
14:38·barrels he was killed by Student Meer
14:40·but Stude Meer was then killed a year
14:42·later by another member of the sporting
14:44·crowd who was exonerated by a jury made
14:46·up mostly of his own friends who were
14:48·the good guys and who were the bad guys
14:50·it's not really clear igloff and
14:52·Cunningham disagree over George Campbell
14:54·with Cunningham describing him as a
14:56·crony of criminals while Eigloff
14:59·describes him as an honest lawman who
15:01·was given a raw deal some describe
15:04·Studen Meyer as a stout lawman who
15:06·brought order to lawless El Paso others
15:08·describe him as a tyrant who terrorized
15:11·the city meanwhile none of these names
15:13·are nearly as well known as Wyatt Herp
15:15·or Doc Holliday or Batmasterson and
15:18·certainly the conflict was not nearly as
15:20·well known as Billy the Kids Lincoln
15:22·County War and the gunfight not nearly
15:24·as well known as the Okay Corral heck
15:26·it's never even been portrayed in film
15:29·in the end the four men killed in 5
15:31·Seconds gunfight is little more than a
15:33·footnote in the sorted history of the
15:36·Wild
15:37·West i hope you enjoyed watching this

I don’t really like that movie, but I often put the disk in and just watch that whole scene. “My mistake.” I laugh every time.

Photography does go back well before this, but the exposure time would be the issue, also, expense. It’s not like now. There’d be sixty poor quality phone videos of the five second shootout, with about sixty minutes of poor-me weepy selfie reactions to the event. :^)

Also, by now there’d be a TikTok challenge to vid oneself in a shootout in El Paso.

Lol. There was a farside cartoon where a man is challenging a notorious gunfighter, and someone in the crowd yells out “don’t be a fool billy”, to the challenger who has no arms

Great song!

“Well, finally Irving got three slugs in the belly
It was right outside the Frontier Deli
He was sittin’ there twirlin’ his gun around
And butterfingers Irving gunned himself down!”

Oddly enough, I’m sure there’s a slightly different version, because on the Demento show, the line was “He came from the big Bar Mitzvah spread, schlepping a salami and pumpernickel bread.” It’s not there in this version.

Good theme song too. :^) Dr D wrote the liner notes in Kottke’s “The Best” LP, was good friend of John Fahey, which must have been challenging.
