The Deseret News, 16 July, 1879

Cheyenne, 11 July. —Five cowboys Who have Just come over the trail from Texas, got drunk at Ogallala, Nebraska, on Wednesday night, rode through the streets firing revolvers and threatened to capture the town. The sheriff and a posse attempted to arrest them, when a fight ensued. One of the Cowboys, Wm. Snooker, was shot and instantly killed, another Henry Parker was badly wounded and will probably die; the other three escaped.

Doubtful. Poor scan quality. Possibly spelt “Shooker” instead of “Snooker”
