Which is Which
The photo on left is Isom Dart, shot by Tom Horn. Tom was working a rustling case
in Brown's Park at the time under alias of Jim Hicks. Isom ignored the warnings for
him to give up the practice and was hence eliminated. Tom and Isom both were
rodeo cowboys and both appeared in Grand Junction rodeos. The portrait is of Nat Love
and it made it to postage stamp. The photo on right is Isom I believe.

Tom Jorn was a eliminator and one bad dude, but all ofthe money that hemade eliminating rustlers, one would think that he could afford holsters for his pistols. However, thre was one nortorious outlaw that he would not go up against and that was "Blue Duck"
Some times Tom Horn used the alias name of Tom Jorn, especaially when hunting messican outlaws because they pronounced the "H" as "J" which also caused a lot of confusion when they went to church, none of them could figure out who Jesus was because of the "H" and "J" conflict.
I bet Tom Jorn gave them a few come to Jesus moments. He didn't have holsters because his work was with a rifle.
