“Looking back…..this winter was not too bad. The picture of the Lincoln County Court House shows some serious snow. It is from seven years ago, taken January 20, 2016, and shows the monochromatic gloominess of the dark skies and heavy snow.“

Not only that, but most telegraph operators were perceptive and used the inside information they gathered to fill in otherwise fuzzy pictures W M O’Bryan was at his post in the telegraph office He greeted me warmly, “Rex, I knew you’d be in to see me ”

I queried him on what he knew He was full of facts

“Ferguson emptied his pistol Three shots were gone out of Hamilton’s Both men had 38s They stood square to each other and fired with both hands. Both men were in a dead game. No way of surviving. Ferguson was hit twice. One found the heart and another pierced him in the right side. The one in the heart did him in ”

As he watched me jot down notes, O’Bryan continued, “Hamilton was struck in the right side, shoulder, cheek, neck, and foot The one in the foot was from his own weapon ”

O’Bryan was present when the dead men met in his office with W.P. Raines. He confirmed all that Raines had said about the matter He added some personal details for me, “Boss Hamilton was married to Missouri Jennings and they have three children. Boss was a loud mouth who was known to brag about made-up conquests.”

I got the feeling that O’Bryan didn’t like Boss Hamilton very much. He was kind in his comments about Robert Ferguson though, “Ferguson married a girl named Lula from Versailles a few years ago They were blessed with a little one recently He was quiet and well-behaved ”

O’Bryan added, “He must have felt himself greatly wronged to arrive at the point of desperation he did ” That opened the door for my final question

“W.M., do you think Boss Hamilton knew Mrs. Ferguson the way he bragged?” He took a brief moment to think, then said, “Don’t quote me, Rex Ok?” I nodded in the affirmative

“It’s like this. Do I think Rex caught a twelve pound catfish in Dix River like he said he did a while back? No, I don’t, but I can’t prove that he didn’t A negative is hard to prove ”

He went on, “You know that I know secrets. It just goes with the job. I know nothing salacious or untoward about Bob Ferguson or his wife That’s more than I can say about Boss Hamilton I’ll leave it at that ”

As I left the telegraph office, W P Raines went in to see O’Bryan I hesitated a moment and heard them talking trough the door. “I passed Rex Ramsey on my way in, W.M., you help him?’, asked Raines.

“Of course I did, W.P., that lady deserves to have her name cleared up. You know what else? Rex is not his given name.” Raines was curious, “Then why is he called Rex?”

O’Bryan, the knower of all things answered correctly, “His given name is John Robert Ramsey The first two stories he covered for the newspaper were train wrecks. One near Gilbert’s Creek and the other between Givens Station and Junction City Somebody said, ‘here comes Rex, the wrecks reporter’ and it stuck to him ”

That’s me, Rex, the guy with a homophone for a nickname. The clickety-clack sound of the 12:45 Kentucky Central train chugging into the depot from Lancaster urged me on my way I climbed into the borrowed transport and headed west with a much slower pace than when I raced over. Nobody wants their horses brought back frothy and steaming. I returned the team and carriage to I M Bruce before the traveling salesman’s 1:30 train arrived from Louisville

I had written the story in my mind on the ride back I had the words on paper and the copy in my boss’s hands way before the deadline for the Tuesday edition

There would be no follow up or trial to cover. It was anticlimactic in that sense I decided to spend the rest of my day off playing billiards at Myers House, but I mostly spent it thinking about the real victims here, the women and children
