Turbulent Ogallala meetings followed a night of denouncements as supporters ridiculed a forged affidavit about Rickett’s death and accused Democrats of spreading lies. Reported scenes include speeches by Rayner and Cary, a disrupted crowd, and a tense showdown with Mullane amid claims of biased reporting and retaliation.
