Have you or an ancestor ever gotten "Strung Up" or shot because you lost a wager?

I'm talking in the old west, you know poker games among cowboys.

You know alot of people did. Who here is in touch with a relative this happened to or what would really be creepy is someone who is in touch with a prior life of theirs, I personally am not and know no one.

But if it happened to you or someone you know please share with the group.

Jeremiah 'Slow Draw' Bee got shot by some indians around Bastrop, Texas for cheating 'em on a whiskey delivery. Does that count?

Damn doggies what a coincidence. A Jones feller, distant kin 3rd cousin I reckon, from Georgia, got shot up with Buckshot for the same damn thing. It was revenuers in a reverse sting though, not indians. Stopped runnin' blockade after that, and commenced to racin' them stock cars with a new nickname. Even ran a bit in the big-time. Couple years ago raced a few times in the Hooters Pro Cup. Ain't heard from cousin "Buckshot" since though.
