Bloody Bill Anderson, Quantrill..
Anderson Gang
When the war broke out Bill, Bob, and Jim were quick to become bushwackers. Anderson's Gang soon had a reputation for murderous ferocity which was even worse than Quantrill's and Todd's Gang. Archie Clement was a notable member of Anderson's gang. Clement was a short, slender, blond-haired eigthteen-year-old boy who earned the nickname " Little Archie." Some say he was a born killer and it is even possible that he was even more blood-thirsty than Bloody Bill himself.Eventually, "Little Archie" became Anderson's second-in-command and triggerman. He even adopted the practice of scalping dead Union soldiers.
June 12, 1864
Bloody Bill Anderson's and Dick Yeager's gangs ran into Parman's patrol on open Prairie, easily killing all but Parman and two others. The pursuing Union troops discovered that Anderson's and Yeagers gangs had previously attacked a nearby stage. There they ransacked the mail and robbed passengers. Some of the twelve men murdered had obviously surrendered only to be shot. One of the corpse's had been scalped and others had been mutilated. One month later he sent a letter to Lexington newspapers giving his version of the account. He claimed that he would have spared the men if they had surrendered . He said that he heard that most of that company were southern men and he would have been more than willing to spare them. Anderson boasted that he and two of his his men had killed all twelve men. However, it is known that Anderson had more than 50 mounted guerillamen with him that day. He ridiculed their marksmenship and taunted Federal leaders by daring them to send their men out for him to train. Despite the many versions of what happened, it is well agreed upon that the Parman Massacre was one of the worst defeats of the war raging in Johnson County, Missouri.
June 13, 1864
Anderson's gang attacked a wagon escort of 30 men of the First Calvary 12 miles south of Lexington, Missouri. His men killed 8 Union men, Burned 2 ratron wagons and killed 15 mules. The Independence- Warrensburg stage was held up simultaneously. All of the telegraph wires in the area were pulled down.

this same bulding lead to The Dodge City Gang, he jumped a train out back, took over las vegas.
Hyman G. "Hoodoo Brown" Neill, Las Vegas Justice of the Peace – From New Mexico , Neill fled to Texasthen Kansas, before arriving in Leadville, Colorado, where he was allegedly killed in a gambling dispute.Hyman G. Neill, better known as Hoodoo Brown, was the leader of the Dodge City Gang in Las Vegas, New Mexico in 1879 and early 1880. According to Harold Thatcher, curator of the Rough Rider Museum in Las Vegas, Hoodoo was "the baddest cowboy of them all". He was described as tall and thin, with light hair, a rakish look, and a small moustache.
Neill hailed from a traditional Southern family Lexington, Missouri. His father had come to Lexington from Lee County, Virginia in the 1830s. Hyman's father practiced law and would have joined the Confederacy when the American Civil War began, however, he decided he could not disavow his oath to support the Constitution and ended up joining the Union. This choice, coupled with his wife's death, caused him to move his family to Warrensburg, Missouri after the war. His date of birth is possibly unknown.Hoodoo became a printer's devil when he was a teenager, until one day he was asked to retrieve rags needed for printing. Young Neill jumped on a freight train going by the back door of the office, saying he was leaving to "get your durn rags".
He was hunting buffalo and hauling lumber in 1872. At the time, he was known to be a small-time gambler and confidence man. He eventually went to Colorado, working in silver mines with a friend. Hoodoo and his friend ended up in Mexico to form an opera company.
Formation of the Dodge City Gang
When Hoodoo arrived in Las Vegas, he found it was developing a reputation as a lawless place, filled with outlaws, bunco artists, murderers and thieves. His displeasure with this led to his election as Justice of the Peace for East Las Vegas. He also served as coroner and mayor of the town, and recruited several former gunfighters from Kansas to form a police force. However, the force was as lawless as the criminals they were supposed to be policing. Called the "Dodge City Gang", the force included J.J. Webb as the town marshal, Mysterious Dave Mather, Joe Carson, "Dutchy" Schunderberger and Dave Rudabaugh.Dodge City Gang's achievements
From 1879 through 1880, Hoodoo led the Dodge City Gang on stagecoach and train robberies, murders, thievery and municipal corruption. Hoodoo's position as Coroner enabled him to install the gang as the "Coroner's Jury", which they used to determine whether or not killings were in self-defense. This position enabled Hoodoo's gang to cover up most of their crimes.Reports from a descendant of Hyman G. Neill indicate that Hoodoo died in Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico, where he left a common-law wife and a son. Two of Hoodoo's brothers brought back his remains to Lexington. His son was also brought there, and was raised. Hoodoo Brown was buried at his family plot in Lexington under the name Henry G. Neill.Magnolia opera house...morgue 1904 world's fair train wreck...bodies laid on flat cars, carried from the tracks to here.
