Original Territory marks man hogs with branded tail
A worker named Hamilton branded his employer's hogs to prevent mixups with others. He gathered about thirty-five penned pigs, sat on the fence with a revolver, and in about fifteen minutes shot the tails from the pigs from ten feet away, with no dogs harmed and only minor noise. This feat earned him the title of champion shot of the Territory.
