Newspaper article about the murder
Isom Frost He acquired fame by tracking some murderers a few years prior, bringing them to justice. He was then elected sheriff of his county. He was a great shot. He was enroute to San Fransico with three murderers. He has three brothers Martin, James and one other.
A neighbor George Gibson and Isom set out to Jame's ranch.
It's a crazy story about the Frost family and how Isom is now the only living member because he killed them and had accomplices help.

Sad that George got involved he should have known as a neighbor what Isom was like. The newspaper said he was 17 but the prison record is age as 26.
