CANTON, Frank (1849 - 1927) Born "Joe Horner," Canton was a frontier bank robber-turned-lawma/n and the top enforcer of the Wyoming Stock Grower's Association. Later, he became Sheriff of Johnson County and was used by the cattlemen to wipe out settlers during the "Johnson County War." Finally, Canton's nerves wrecked, and he served as a Deputy U.S. Marshall under Judge Isaac Parker before going to Alaska to tame the "gold town" of Dawson. Partly-printed Document with Autograph Note Signed, “F.M. Canton Sheriff”, 2p. quarto, June 26, 1885, Johnson County, Wyoming. Fine.
