Did anyone kill anyone else in this set of updates? If not, it must be a record.

Here's the poker game from Hollister's page:

sergeanthollister: Hows your friend Ned?
jamesbutlerhickok: The worst is over, and I do believe hell make it.
sergeanthollister: Well hallelujah to that! They say the Sioux shot him.
JMcCall: God damn Indians.
jamesbutlerhickok: Thats what they say.
JMcCall: God damn it.
JMcCall: Say, fellas, Im plumb cleaned out.
sergeanthollister: Maybe youll be lucky in love. Theres sheep in the pasture and no one lookin.
JMcCall: Now Im out what I owe for the room
jamesbutlerhickok: Fate is a fickle mistress.
JMcCall: And my lame mare the horse doctors looking at
jamesbutlerhickok: All right, all right. Put away your tiny violin and write me a note, friend.
JMcCall: Really? I can pay you tomorrow, I swear it. Or the next day, latest.
jamesbutlerhickok: In the future, sir, I advise you not to wager sums you do not have to lose.
JMcCall: I surely do appreciate it.

JMcCall starts the hand with $49. The cards on the table are As 3d 3c Qd 10d. jamesbutlerhickok's pocket cards are Qs As, he wins with two pair, aces and queens. JMcCall is out of cash from going all-in after the turn. JMcCall's pocket is 6d Qh.
The last hand on the table is 10c Ac Kd 7c. sergeanthollister folds his hand.

OK, since all the cards have been found, I might as well tell what historical stuff I came across when looking for card six.

In the game with wild bill, he said he got the Gun from "Kicks-his-Horse" more than once. His picture is called kicks.jpg

Kicks fought under Gen. Crook, stealing the GUN just before the Battle of Rosebud. Sitting Bear was a scout in the same group of 260 Crow and Shoshone scouts. I've not seen any lists of who fought on what side.

So Crook is following Custer's army up Rosebud Creek (they're on the same side) with a force of roughly 1300. You might ask yourself, why are Indians helping the whites? They are looking to push the Lakota (Souix) and Cheyennes back, because the two tribes are encroaching on Crow/Shoshone land. The Indians, led by Crazy Horse, meet Crook's forces in about equal numbers and a gigantic battle ensues. Crook ends up getting turned back and it's a big W for the Indians. Folks will later blame Crook's turning back for Custer's death at the hands of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull.

But wasn't Sitting Bull Standing Bear's adoptive half-brother? Yep. Standing Bear spent years trying to become a Lakota. According to "Kicks-his-horse" he saved the whole army at Rosebud (but he was fighting on the other side from the Lakota).

Another Part of the Update

[krystyn]

I found Frank Grouard after looking at "face to face with my maker" under Ned White's profile, and quickly Googling Grouard and bear. Skimming the results for the correct context, I plugged frankgrouard into the search bar, and the rest is history.

[krystyn]

I've just noticed that despite hard-refreshing, and spot-checking other pages on the website, that the log out button under Colton White's profile is a shiny metallic grey not in keeping with the wood grain design for the rest of the bar.


Anyone else seeing this?

hmmm... These are the first favors you actually have to think about.

Not all need to be done in a cemetery either, from the text.
