TRANSCRIPT
Toolmaker End of Year Prize Winner The results from the vot-ing at the TG Convention is in-cluded in this edition of the Ad-vocate. Guess the big change is that the Modern Class has been merged with the Traditional Class and the Traditional class has been divided further in two age groups, 17 and up and 36 and up! Another change is that all long guns when staged horizon-tally shall have the rear of the trigger guard on the staging sur-face. Handguns staged shall be completely on the staging sur-face. Single Shot shotguns can now have automatic ejectors. Speaking of single shot shotguns, the club several years ago estab-lished a “Buckaroo” class at the monthlys, this is an adult shoot-ing .22 pistols and lever action rifles along with .410 shotguns. I don’t ever see anyone shooting it anymore. As provided for in the SASS Rules when we have a fly-ing target or a can tosser, an al-ternate target will be provided for . I know that the weather is pretty lousey at this time of the year, so dress in layers at the range. Bring extra duds, you can always take them off. Hope to see you soon. Bojack
For the next several months we will not be serving food at the 4th Saturday Shoot. This is neces-sary while Pasture Patti’s back mends. So pack in a sandwich or snack if you figure you may get hungry during the day. We will break for 30 minutes to hold the door prize drawing. Water and sodas will still be available at all shoots. Thanks for your under-standing in this matter. I was recently contacted by a writer named Whooper Crane who writes a column in the Cow-boy Chronicle called “Bunkhouse Bidness”. They have featured clubs from Arizona, Oregon, Mas-sachusetts, Ohio, Louisiana, and Texas. Cajon was selected to be the first club in CA to be featured in this column. The write-up about the club will appear in the April edition of the Cowboy Chronicle.
Editor: Pasture Patti Cajon Cowboy Monthly—February 2009
Whispering Smith, as James L. Smith was to become known, served in the U. S. Navy during the Civil War aboard an ironclad gunboat in the Mississippi River campaign. After the war he remained in that area as a Planta-tion Inspector for the Freedmen’s Bureau and investigated crimes committed against former slaves. When the New Orleans Metropolitan Police were formed, Smith was appointed as a detective and served for several years until he was involved in a shooting that resulted in a scandal. He and his wife fled to Omaha where he was employed as a Union Pacific rail-road detective and later served in the Cheyenne and Black Hills area. During this period he was in-volved in the shooting of two ad-versaries and implicated in the lynching of two others. It was dur-ing this period that he acquired the nick-name, “Whispering Smith.”
Terminated by the Union Pacific, Smith moved to the Mescalero In-dian Reservation in New Mexico where he was appointed as Chief of Indian Police. He was active in

Last month your Sin Killer was on the prod about the mod-
ern liberal use of the word “community,” a word that only divides folks up into fighting camps according to skin color or ethnic origin. The correct Biblical word to use is “neighbor,” a word which means that all manner of folks can get along with one another. This month Sin Kil-ler busts out of the chute snarlin’, twistin’, and foamin’ against another pernicious buzz-word, “diversity.” It seems everything has to be “diverse” these days, meaning skin color trumps every consideration in employment, education, the military, and any other endeavor that society undertakes. This focus on “diversity” is destruc-tive, shallow, and as stupid as drivin’ a nail in a snowbank, and, like “community,” only makes sure people hate each other with a purple pas-sion. Any politician that squawks about “diiiverrrsssittty” can’t find his butt in an out-house. That old Apostle Paul had the right idea when he wrote in Ephesians 4:3-6 that we should be “endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” In other words Paul is really sayin’, “Y’all folks need to hitch up yer

unity!” “Unity” is a much better word for society to use, and in particular the church to use, than “diversity.” Last I looked on a greenback it says on the Great Seal of the United States, “E Pluribus Unum,” “Out of Many, One”. Our Christian founding-fathers understood unity as being united, first and foremost, in worship of our Creator God. Therein lies our national unity, and only secondly does our unity lie rooted in the Constitution. The Constitution was never meant to be read apart from the Word of God. That united worship of the One True Living God bonds all our virtues to-gether. Only because we are united in God can we be united in purpose. When we draw together upon our faith in God we can be brothers and sis-ters on the same page of action; and it does not matter if we are green, blue, purple, plaid, or polka-dotted in skin color, we can respect each other and work side-by-side. We can even have some different views and opinions on the minor things, but we come together in unity on the major things. Agreeing to disagree is no sin, but de-stroying our unity under God is a big sin, whether in the church or in politics. When we are united we can watch each other’s backs, forgive each other our foibles, hold each other accountable, and pick each other up when we stumble. And an added benefit of unity – we can even poke good-natured fun at one another without going to a law-yer over it. So that’s Sin Killer’s idea of “unity” being better than “diversity.” Now, go careful.

capturing outlaw tribal members and shot two during a raid on a rustler’s camp. Reservation politics and governmental criti-cism forced his resignation but not before he unsuccessfully challenged Pat Garrett to a duel. Smith returned to Cheyenne where he was employed as a stock detective by the Wyo-ming Stock Growers Association. The secre-tive nature of this work obscures the number of his shooting events but he was suspected of participating in several lynching. One event became public knowledge when Smith ar-ranged the contract killing of a rustler who had fled to Mexico. This was the revenge killing of an outlaw who had killed one of Smith’s fellow range detectives.
Another event in which Smith had a hand was the attempt by granger interests to elect fence laws in Nebraska. Whispering Smith scoured Wyoming and Nebraska for ranch hands that could be fraudulently moved into the election districts to defeat the legislation. The effort failed. Blizzard conditions and the financial failure of the cattle industry during 1887 caused Smith to seek employment as a railroad detective with the Northern Pacific Railway.
During Smith’s employment with the Wyo-ming Stock Grower’s Association he was be-friended by Alexander H. Swan, the “Cattle King” of Cheyenne. Swan had financial in-volvement with a Utah short-line railroad cor-poration at Ogden and sought revenge against an associate who was suspected of fraud. Swan convinced Smith to resign from the Northern Pacific to conduct an investigation and launch a vendetta against the culprit, John R. Mid-dlemiss. Smith, acting as a private detective, began to gather evidence and circulated an in-quiry letter to Utah and California police de-partments. Parts of Smith’s letters were held to be criminal libel and he was so charged in court. A jury found him guilty and the judge fined him but the Swan interests paid it.
By 1891 Smith, apparently tired of stress, be-came a prospector for mineral deposits in Utah. He was successful and located several claims. After settling legal disputes over them
he sold these properties to the Pleasant Valley Coal Company at Castle Gate and again became a rail-road detective, this time with the Denver & Rio Grande. That railroad had as one of its best cus-tomers the Pleasant Valley Coal Company to whom Whispering Smith had sold his mining claims. That company soon hired Smith as their security officer.
The Caste Gate area was infested with outlaws and the Carbon County Sheriff, Gus Donant, was thought to be corrupted. When Donant tried to have C.L. “Gunplay” Maxwell, a known rustler, appointed as his deputy, Whispering Smith launched a campaign to have Donant removed. The effort was eventually successful but placed Smith into a continuing conflict with two local attorneys, J. W. Warf and M. P. Braffet. In April, 1897, The Pleasant Valley Coal Company payroll was robbed by Butch Cassidy and members of his gang. Smith and his friend Cyrus “Doc” Shores were involved in the investigation but with-out success.
The verbal feud between Smith, Warf and Braffet continued throughout the year and was climaxed by a gunfight at the Denver & Rio Grande Railway station in Price, Utah. Whispering Smith was ar-rested for attempted murder and tried during Feb-ruary, 1898. He was acquitted but his employment with the Pleasant Valley Coal Company ended.
Smith then became a resident of Denver, Colorado, and was hired by a newspaper editor to drive Wil-liam “Bat” Masterson out of town. Following this confrontation, and at the age of 72, Smith became a prison guard at Buena Vista, Colorado where he shot and killed an escaped prisoner. This incident closed Whispering Smith’s adventurous career and he retired to Denver in poor health. Destitute and ill, Smith conspired to be jailed in the Denver County Jail to receive medical aid. He committed suicide there on August 27, 1914, and was buried at the Riverside Cemetery, Section 2, Lot 205, Block 12.
