Competing accounts cite a confrontation with deputy J H Burgess at the Burgess home and a separate theory that Moses confronted his wife Mrs Moses and was shot by Burgess after an alleged attack on Mrs Moses. The piece traces Moses’s long career as a lawman, including work with the Clack and Plim outfit and later as sheriff in Belle Fourche and as private stock detective for Spear Bros. It notes Burgess’s role as deputy and suggests friction between them. The report also includes unrelated land law notes from a General Land Office circular about homestead residence and absences.
