I asked this question a while back on another blog, but could not find it again to ask again, as no one answered at that time;
Question...is what is referred to as "lazy eights" at this link actually EAR MARK positions? The Lazy eight representing a set of ears, to indicate right and left ears marks or cuts?

THE LEGEND OF THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE
Santa Fe, 1878
"If the carpenter had a name, it has long been forgotten. According to the legend, he carried only three tools: a hammer, a saw, and a T-square. Some say he worked for six months, others say it was longer. He only had one request: tubs of water. Outside the chapel, the sisters would occasionally see slats of wood soaking in the water.

Frontier Times
I just looked up and quoted a physical description from (on another blog) a 1924 Frontier Times article about TX Ranger from 1875-1885 William T "Slick" Clements who was described as a good marksman with his Sharps Carbine that he had mounted half a nickel on as a front sight to improve the shooting quality.
Now that is True West at it's most ingenious!

Hello Fran,
I just back home from Eagles and had some beans that I cooked this afternoon.
This forum is sure different.
I see that several of our Bloody Bill Andersons are over here too.
SO, What do they write about on here.
I haven't read a TRUE WEST magazine since Kilroy was around.
Know what I mean? Bob James.
Hello once more Fran,
It is about time to get some ZZZZ.
I guess Kilroy finally went AWOL somewhere in one of the many wars.
I really thought that there would not be anymore wars after the Atomic bombs were used on Japan.
Do I know anything worth writing about Pueblo, CO.
YES, But I think I'll save it for somewhere else.
I did add some ham to those beans.
Now I need some cornbread to go with it.
Tomorrow will do. Good nite! Bob James.
I won't give up on the traditional history and I won't accept the Texas Jesse James Story. There is no proof what so ever is in the ebay photo the only positive ID in that photo is Zerelda. Until the photo has been examined by a professional or other true James family members and someone in the James organization says it is indeed James L Courtney aka Jesse James only then will I buy the story. Other than that, Jesse James died as history recorded.
