Water rights were at a premium in July 1884 when wealthy Rancher,William M. Allen shot and killed Amos Stone Samson who was denying Allen access to his (Samson's) water. Allen claimed self defense, although Amos Stone Samson was, the famous, well respected, "Rattlesnake Dick" reknown for shooting a rattlesanke at a distance and saving a friends life.Had he aimed for Allen fist, he would have killed him.

Samson was a colorful character, who had been an Indian Scout. He spoke the language of the Arrapahoe and Cheyenne Indians. He had owned a theatre called the, "Samson Corral".

Samson was known to be thoroughly honest in his dealings and generous and liberal to a fault. He was, at one time, a man of considerable wealth, but he gave a great deal of his money away to his friends and associates.
