About

Mesa County Sheriff from 1929-1941.
"He was an early Mesa County Sheriff who was known for being good to children, especially troubled youth. During his time as sheriff, he arrested George Abshier (aka Bill Messick), a local bootlegger and member of the Fleagle Gang that robbed the First National Bank of Lamar and murdered four people.

In the early Twentieth century, he also owned a stable on the south side of Ute Avenue near the intersection with 5th Street, adjacent to the Free Corral, where cowboys, horse racers and others stabled their horses."
