Mike Daggett
In 1911, four men: "Harry Cambron; a sheepherder - Dominic Bertrand 'Bert' Indiano, and two wealthy French Basque sheepmen - Peter Erramouspe and John B. Laxague," were killed in Little High Rock Canyon.
Mike Daggett and his band were accused of the murders. They were tracked down to outside of Golconda (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kelley_Creek Battle of Kelley Creek]) and many of the band killed.
There is controversy about what actually happened in Golconda. After his death, Daggett was called "Shoshone Mike."
