Quiet Ellsworth Echoes of Wild West Killers Past
In a hush town tale set in Ellsworth Kansas the Union Pacific train passes a looming building as a gray bearded reunion figure recalls 1860s killers and gamblers who once dominated the area. Bill Hickok Jim Corry and others are named with violent legends tied to Hays City and Fort Hays while a tense confrontation on a street ends with a warning to Curry to seek practice rather than pick a fight.
