Were there others besides the handful mentioned in Wild West books and movies? Yes! Joe Thralls was the unflinching model of what a peace officer should be: reserved, steady, and consistent. Joe Thralls spent his entire career as a lawman and town leader in Wellington, a much-traveled area of the west situated near the Chisholm Trail in Sumner County, Kansas. Joe Thralls was a respected member of Wellington from his arrival in 1871 till his death nearly fifty-seven years later. That span saw him as a constable, city marshal, deputy sheriff, sheriff, deputy U.S. marshal, a successful cattleman, real estate salesman, and a city mayor. Thralls tangled with outlaws, cowboys, and cattlemen. He dealt with horse thieves, vigilantes, and necktie parties. Records seem to indicate he often faced danger calmly. Few today recognize his name though he played a crucial role in taming this part of the West. The cattle trade brought with it characters with money to burn, liquor to drink, guns to shoot, and women to visit. But cowboys weren't the only actors on this stage. With all the money, cattle, horses, and business going on, this couldn't help but attract a darker side. Horse and cattle thieves, train and bank robbers, claim jumpers, card sharks, and other sorts of shady characters found opportunities around them. To control them, law-abiding citizens formed vigilante committees and posses to hunt down and hang the culprits. Eventually the legal system became more organized and played a larger role in controlling the outlaw element. But it was rough going in the early years. Sumner County between 1870 and 1885 probably saw as much Wild West action as anywhere in the country. Cattle herds from Texas reached their zenith the year Joe Thralls came to Sumner County.

During this period, Caldwell went from one crisis to another, from killings to lynchings, shootouts to search parties, bank openings to bank busts. Seldom was it boring. Caldwell saw more lawmen killed in its short history than any other cow town. Gunfighters and gunfights were common. Charlie Stone made a name for himself in the cattle business before heading west. In 1871, he traveled to the southern border of Kansas. There, Stone and his friends staked out a plot of land overlooking Fall and Bluff Creeks, next to Indian Territory. It stood on the Chisholm Trail. They named the place after a railroad magnate and Kansas politician they admired-Alexander Caldwell. Within a decade Caldwell became a thriving cattle town, fulfilling Stone's dream for it. For one season it shipped more cattle east than Dodge City. Caldwell was within shouting distance of Indian Territory and all its dangers. The town's history is filled with Indian scares and fights; cattle thieves and killers; lawmen chasing outlaws; lynchings; financial schemes; and conflict among cattlemen, trail herders, merchants, farmers, and homesteaders. The railroad played a key role in the town's development and success. Caldwell attracted cowboys over a longer period than any other cow town. Between 1870 and 1885, its reputation as a rip snorting pleasure spot for boisterous trail drivers at the end of the trail beat all the competition.
