As I was cleaning out the attic of my grandparents home I came upon an article describing the events leading up to a murder most foul. In 1885 a man was shot while riding his horse to town. There was no mystery as to who committed the crime but little was know of the man who was cut down in his prime. This is his story, which I have dramatized base on the info I gleaned from the article and a few other pieces of info inluded in the file....

*this is a work of fiction loosely based on the song "I hung my head" originally written and performed by sting, but I was familiarized with as performed by Johnny Cash.
