On February 12, 1917 American cowboys were rounding up cattle just north of the Mexican border in the southwest part of New Mexico at Camel Wells and the Corner Ranch. Mexican bandits kidnapped and murdered three of these cowboys. At the time Mexico was in the throes of revolution and the national government was powerless to offer any assistance. Local cowboys, all friends and associates of Andy Peterson, went into action to find the missing men and offer them a proper burial service. Orson James Richins was part of the search party.
