Waterhouse bootlegging raid ends with deaths in Pine Creek area
In Sublette County history a cavalry detail from Fort Stambaugh faced Waterhouse and his gang after they set up a string of blind pigs across the territory. A volley from the Army left Waterhouse and his men dead, while the bootleg operation was smashed and the creek area remembered for the blaze and final arrests.
