Samuel O Bruner was born in 1869 in Oregon, parents unknown. He was a sheep herder and stole 1500 sheep.






Inmate #723 Idaho State Prison
Crime: Grand Larceny
Rec: 7 Nov 1899
Departed: 30 Dec 1901
He escaped, and on a horse named Old Salem, the same horse Henry Meeks an outlaw who was pals with the Sundance Kid, a week before.

This letter was in his prison file dated 1903




I found a few newspaper articles






I do not think they got him, if the sheriff in Illinois did get him he must of escaped again. I didn't find anymore articles.

I do not know when and he he died, there were very few records so my thought is after his escape he changed his name.
