Zentull The story as related by Gassler was that it had rained and when Tex got serious about tracking he was able to trace Ruths trail by following the imprint of his cane/walking stick from his camp to the tree grove on Peters Mesa. P Maybe whoever killed him helped (by choice, or by force) him u...

Maybe this has been said in the past pages. As I understand it: Don saw a backpack at the discovery of Gassler. Roland's imposter told Tom that he acquired the backpack from the sheriff's office, but later, when this was checked, the sheriff's office said that there was no backpack. Also, isn't it ...

Another thought, What if the gold wasen't taken from the backpack at all? From what I've read, Tom never said the stranger had a backpack, just that he had gold that he "said" came from Walts backpack. The stranger would have known about the backpack because he was at the scene, and probab...

Randy, My point was that there may be no relationship between the person seen in the area and the backpack coming up missing. We could have someone who was going to check out the body and got spooked by the approaching riders. Yeah, I think I mis-read your post. I thought you were saying that you t...

I think the stranger would have taken the pack before putting the body where it was found.

This sounds great, but then how do you explain the Deputy seeing the pack and putting it into his report? It was in the report right?

Re: Gasslers back pack.

Good point Randy. Remember though, no one said the backpack was full of gold ore. More probably, there was a good sample of the ore in the back pack. This may have been a few pieces up to a pound or so. (my speculation). It was probably just a part of what was in the back pack overall. I don't thin...

Re: Gassler backpack.

The backpack with the gold ore that was shown to Tom Kollenborn by the mystery man is assumed to be the backpack that the Sheriff's Deputy listed as Walt Gassler's belongings, also seen at the site where Gassler died by Don Shade, and later disapeared.

Randy, "Just wanna clear this up, not trying to start a war with you." Your fear seems unreasonable, to me. Can you cite a case anywhere on this Forum, where asking me a question has elicited a "war", from me?????? If so, would you please left click and hold down while draging i...

Re: Waltz mine.

Oh, NOW you've done it Randy ! You've asked the next logical question. If Waltz had no mine but found hidden gold ore and used it, then who's gold ore did he find and where did it come from ? That puts us right back on the same mystery, just substitute an unknown name for Waltz's name. You cannot a...

So Joe, It's your belief that there never was a mine, that Waltz just happened across some gold on the ground, dropped by the Peraltas, and made up the story of having a mine to "look cool"? If that's the case, then where do you think the gold he found came from? Just wanna clear this up, ...

I don't know if ore would be proof positive of the mine. It would to some people if it matched ore found under Waltz's bed. There is one wild possibility though......Tex found the Peralta HQ and/or Waltz's camp and treated himself to the caches that Waltz was aiming for on his last trip. The sacks ...

Does anyone have the ME's report? I'm not sure I believe the sun could "badly blacken" only one side of someones face. There would be other spots that were burnt. How long would it take the sun to burn someones skin after they died? That's quite a vital question in the Sun/Blood debate. Yo...

Then again, he may have just died.......and was still moved out of someones area of interest. P If the blood was on the side of his face like LDM said, this would be my guess. He died somewhere where someone didn't want him, and they moved him. I find it hard to believe that someone chasing him wou...

In all probability, someone on the fringe heard Ruth tell his tales of gold and waited for him to go into the mountains and present them with an opportunity. Matthew K. Roberts LDM Makes sense. I can't help but feel that Tex and his crew knew who did it, and so did the sheriff, etc. That's interest...

Re: Why Hide The Truth?

I believe the source for how Ruth was taken into the mountains, came from Tex Barkley. Was it the truth? Well that's an interesting viewpoint, and if Tex lied about what happened, then that would change everything wouldn't it? I'm not sure there is any way to proove anything, aside from Tex, or som...
