Rifleman Atop Peak Balks Posse
A 56 year old prospector Millard Carmean perched on a mountain peak above a 200 foot chasm in Durango Colorado while an eight man sheriff posse deliberated how to lure him down without gunfire. After shots were exchanged, the sheriff ordered a retreat and planned to attempt a careful descent with a smaller party. Notes found at his brother’s home indicated Carmean planned death by his own action and directed disposal of his property. Additional notes at his camp gave a signal plan. The posse could not locate him at the designated spot and continued searching rugged terrain. The aurora borealis line is noted as running through several northern regions.
