Last Call of the Buffalo

Source Josie Bassett Morris: Last call of the Buffalo. The photo was taken in Rock Springs as a joke on "Buffalo" Jack Rife who was drunk and knew nothing that was going on. The group very seriously were giving him a medical exam. Joe Hays was "doctor", Jack Elliot is making notations. When Buff sobered up he was furious. He collected all the photos but two. One in Rock Springs and one Josie had. From left to right, standing: Harry Yarnell, Emil Jensen, James Drum, Henry Mudd, Joe Bertagnoll, Ed Gallino, Con Perdue, Joe M. Hay, Jack Rifels lying down, Nig Wells. Seated: Jack Elliot, Jim Mays, Tige, Hay's dog. The photo was taken at the Oak Buffet where the Coast to Coast store is now. The original photo was in possession of Margret and Wright Dickenson. A copy of that photo was made by by G. Ross. This photo is part of the Glade Ross Collection.
