The Bald Knobbers

In 1888, two factions of bald knobbers started fighting when one member was arrested for being a cattle thief. Another faction claimed another bald knobber revealing bald knobber secrets. More than one member was murdered for snitching to the law. A year later, at a meeting, Bull Creek Dave Walker decided they should destroy the liquor of a bootlegger. As they headed home, they passed the house of William Edens - a loudmouth who had been speaking against the bald knobbers. When they did, he was with his brother-in-law, William Edens. He himself received a beating before Dave Walker finally told them to stop.
