Witnesses Kill in Wild Horse Nebraska Oregon
Fred Billings, a Idaho horse buyer passing through Harney county, witnessed the stabbing death of Fred Andrews, a Wild Horse foreman, after a quarrel with a discharged cowboy named Red. Red fled south into Nevada after stabbing Andrews in a Wild Horse log cabin. Billings, sympathetic to Red, suggests he may not be brought to justice. The area is described as frontier cow country with sparse settlements and remote post offices.
