  Arkansaw. The sobriquet of James Pooler, a desperado, who was shot to death by
vigilantes at Pierre in the autumn of 1881. Arkansaw had attempted to shoot up
the town, but was taken to the river by a posse of citizens and ordered to cross
to the west side and not again to show himself in Pierre. He crossed over but
soon returned in a drunken and dangerous condition. Warned of the approach of
the vigilantes he ran into a clump of brush near the foot of Pierre street,
whence he began to shoot. A volley was shot into the brush and many bullets
entered his body.
