Epitaphs 2: Death in West

I am rather dead today. Very, very long day. Hence, appropriately:
Bill Blake
Was hanged by mistake.
Boot Hill Cemetery, Tombstone, Arizona

Here lays Butch.
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger
But slow on the draw.
Silver City, Nevada

Here lies a man named Zeke.
Second fastest draw in Cripple Creek.
(May be in Cripple Creek, Colorado)

Toothless Nell (Alice Chambers)
Killed 1876 in a Dance Hall brawl.
Her last words: "Circumstances led me to this end."
Boot Hill Museum, Dodge City, Kansas

Here lies the body of Arkansas Jim.
We made the mistake, But the joke's on him.
Culver City

He called
Bill Smith
A Liar
Cripple Creek, CO
