Unissued # 463 in 188-. Location Johnson County. Western Bank Note printer. Three vignettes including cattle branded YM and two gentlemen discussing them (cattle rustling?). The Johnson County War, also known as the War on Powder River and the Wyoming Range War, was a range conflict that took place in Johnson County, Wyoming from 1889 to 1893. The conflict began when cattle companies started ruthlessly persecuting alleged rustlers in the area, many of whom were innocent settlers that competed with them for land, livestock and water rights. As tensions swelled between the large established ranchers and the smaller settlers in the state, violence finally culminated in Powder River Country, when the ranchers hired armed gunmen to invade the county. The gunmen's initial incursion in the territory aroused the small farmers and ranchers, as well as the state lawmen, and they formed a posse of 200 men that led to a grueling stand-off. The siege ended when the United States Cavalry on the orders of President Benjamin Harrison relieved the two forces, although further fighting persisted in the following months. The Searight Ranch was certainly part of this mythic wild west story. And its part in the story was a prelude to the Johnson County War. It revolves around Clabe H. Young. In 1883, as he traveled in chains back to his home state to face a murder charge, he sometimes talked and sometimes wept. He told the detective who had captured him a great deal about cattle stealing in central Wyoming Territory. All the cowboys were doing it, Clabe said, and many stole because their bosses told them to do so. State: Wyoming City: Wyoming Cattle: Johnson County Date: 188-
