Okay, I'm going to tell this the way I think that I heard it at the reunion, but do not hold me to the truth of it. I heard bits & pieces from several different people, so maybe someone knows the truth. John Rice and his brothers James & Thompson (who was called Tom) rode with Quantrill. Apparently at some point, a union guy shot Tom in the leg. As he begged for his life (I'm not sure if that's exact), the union guy shot him in the head. Then John Rice hunted down the union guy and here is where there were 2 versions I heard: 1) while two of the brothers held him, the 3d cut off his head 2) john rice hunted him down, cut of his head, and put it on a stick. Does anyone know what actually happened? Love, Denise
