I have submitted pictures to this site in the past (Detective Cal Baird & the new jail.) I have a question... My grandfather was telling me some "old Borger stories" today. He is in his 80's and so sometimes I only receive bits and pieces at a time. I would like to put together a bio. page, but was wondering if you could provide me with a few more details to one of the stories. I live in DeSoto Co., MS, so I do not have access to Hutchinson Co. history, except for what is on the internet. Topics of interest: DA killed and Marshall Law took over approx. 1928 all police officers where jailed in Stinnet. Ed Thompson-Rancher ended up moving ranch to NM after the above mentioned event. Individuals of interest (fit in some of the stories) -Detective "Cal" Carroll Sumner Baird (step-great grandfather) -Ethel (Benson) Buckley-Baird-Tweedy -Jerome Tweedy -Marl & Lilly Whitecotton -Abb Valentine -Ed Thompson Horse ranch, moved it from the other side of Stinnet (around where the last battle was fought) to Tucumcari, Quay Co., NM. -"Chinaman John" - my family has a ?cigarette table? he built. He is also the one posing in the new jail pictures I submitted previously. -Joe Ownsby -Jim Crain -Sheriff Dale Lane -George Perdue -Alford White -Bob Airs -Marion (policeman or constable in Divine TX area later) & wife Louise Rogers ?? made bed mattresses" I also have lots of newspaper articles & sports team pics from Phillips Blackhawks & Borger High School. Link to previously submitted photos http://www.usgwarchives.net/tx/hutchinson/history/baird/baird.htm My main interest at this point is anything you can find out about the DA being killed and Marshall Law taking over. Thanks for any assistance. Kimberly Nolan-Frederick nolanfamilyhistory@yahoo.com
