On May 16, 1869, a duel took place at Little Salt Creek between a cattle roundup crew and Indians. The cowboys attacked at their work were Shapley Carter, Bill Crow, and Henry Harrison, all of Palo Pinto County; crew captain Ira E. Graves, J.W. Gray, W.C. Kutch, and Jason McClain, of Jack County; Joe Woody, Parker County; George and John Lemley and Rube Seachrist, Young County; and Dick, the cook, from Tarrant County. All day the crew held at bay 57 Comanches, who left that night. Nine cowboys were wounded, and Carter, Crow, and John Lemley died. Texans never forgot the unprovoked attack.
