Reuben J. Cogburn has agreed to take on the job in Hog Thief Bend. Known to his friends as 'Rooster', he is a veteran of the American Civil War and served under Confederate guerrilla leader William Quantrill, where he lost his eye. Cogburn previously lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas in the back of a Chinese dry-goods store, along with the proprietor, his friend and gambling buddy Chen Lee, and an orange tabby cat named after Confederate General Sterling Price. The rumour round town is that he has never had a 'dry day' in his life! Luckily for Rooster, the Sheriff's Office is right opposite the Broken Drum Saloon, so it's not too far when he gets a hankering for a shot of redeye. Let's hope he can bring some law and order into this den of iniquity.
The whole town, so far.............
