Bill Kinny and the Sheriff Confrontation in Dry Fork
In Dry Fork, Bill Kinny killed a prominent man and resisted arrest. Deputy sheriffs were wounded when he fired a Winchester. Sheriff Mark Townsend later tried a gentler approach, inviting Kinny to meet the jailer Sam Powers and promising a smoother process. Kinny declined, then agreed to accompany Townsend after a taunting bet, and the scene escalated with boasts and threats as the two men debated surrender, amid tales of possum hunts, moonlit licks, and jail yard plans.
