Death of Gay at Indian attack on the Cimarron river
A young hunter named Gay of Kansas, seventeen, fought a savage Indian ambush on the Cimarron while separated from his party. He killed one Indian and wounded several others, but was mortally wounded in three places and, refusing torture, killed himself with a revolver as he faced certain death. The surrounding Indians scalped and mutilated the body before burying it next day. The funeral featured many carriages and a later appeal for funds for a sewing machine for the family.
