Etchins' From The Past

One of those photoetcher fellars buggied into Sipokni West recently and put his magic machine to work capturing images on the plate.

We feel kinda obiliged to share the moments he captured.

Outlaws Have Birthdays Too

Although they are the scourge of the territory, outlaws have birthdays too.  Recently such a day came around for one of the better known desperado's of this area Siegel Paul Heffington.  Siegel, along with cohorts Tom Lokey, Ray Lokey, and Keavin Troutman rode into Sipokni West and hitched at the Cattle Trail Saloon - a most appropriate venue I would think.

Cattle Trail hostess Miss Wanda served up the birthday treats.

On duty, while the outlaw foursome was in town, were junior deputies Darren and Zachary Pennington.  These young law dawgs kept a keen eye on the birthday celebrating outlaws.

And serving as backup to the junior deputies was deputy Juniper Joe Stout.

All in all, the day went okay.  Most likely because the Red Eye whiskey was kept out of sight.

Big Day

Guns Ride To School Fair

The Guns of Sipokni rode to Sulphur this Saturday to take part in the Sulphur Elementary School Fair.  The school fair was to raise money for activities within the elementary classes such as field trips and other school activities. 

John and Tammy Howard, their daughter Jamie, Sherry Adams, Coyote and Badlands worked the Sipokni West Territorial Jail.  My goodness, we never new Sulphur had so many outlaws!  We must have locked up over 400 people and there were more waiting when we had to shut things down. 

As an added bonus, we were able to throw the notorious woman outlaw duo, Mercy and Missy, better known as the Arbuckle Mountain girls, in the cooler.  Those two are bad news now. 

All in all, we had a great time and it was for a great effort.  The Guns are proud to have been part of the festivities.

Spectres and goblins from the old west past such as Pancho Killa, "Bat" Masterson, The Lone Reaper, and Death Dealer will all be on hand to test your backbone and tingle your spine.

A Pardon For Billy?

The current governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, is grappling with the issue of whether to grant Billy the Kid a pardon he was reportedly promised by Governor Lew Wallace is 1881.

The family of Pat Garrett, the man who history says shot Billy down, is opposing the pardon along with other opponents of the pardon.

Pat Garrett was reported to shoot Billy the Kid from the darkness, however others say that simply didn't happen and Billy escaped to go to live as Brushy Bill Roberts living in Texas.

Whether the pardon is granted or not, Billy the Kid has been assumed dead for 129 years, but his legend continues to live on.

Contraptions Come To Sipokni West

This past Saturday, the townsfolk of Sipokni West got quite a surprise when a herd of whangy dang contraptions came rolling into town. One after another, they just kept puttering along Front Street and then came to a stop at the Cattle Drive Saloon.

Elwood was the first to spot the contraptions that moved on their own without a horse! Elwood went running down Front Street hollering for Pearly Sue to fetch his shotgun.

As a crowd grew in the middle of the street one resident suggested that these whangy dangs were the horseless carriages we'd heard of for some time now. They say these things are popular back east but here at Sipokni we still favor the horse and wagon.

Good thing Marshall Stout and Mayor Johnny were on hand to get the crowd under control. Turns out that this group of guys and gals had been to Sipokni before and are simply antique car buffs.







The antique car guys and gals hung around town for awhile and had lunch at the Cowboy Cafe before getting back in their whangy dangs and taking off again.

As always, it was good seeing them again and hope to see them next year.
