Sheriff and Deputy US Marshal in Johnson County Wyoming, he was a major figure as enforcer on the side of the Wyoming Stock Grower’s Assn. during their attempt to drive out the small, immigrant ranchers and farmers in 1891-92. ADS “<i>F M Canton</i>,” a sheriff’s return on verso of partly printed DS, 8vo, Buffalo, Wyoming Territory, Jul 11, 1883. Embossed Wyoming Territory seal present. Subpoena for three men to appear as witnesses at the District Court of Johnson County. Canton certifies in purple ink that the subpoenas had been served. A feared gunman, with Heck Thomas, Bill Tilghman and Chris Madsen, Canton helped to bring justice to the Territories. As US deputy marshal in Alaska during the Gold Rush, he tamed the freewheeling town of Dawson. Returning to OK, he held the post of adjutant general of the National Guard until his death. An important autograph of the Old West.
