That was in Granite. It was a gold mining town. The gold mine was shut down due to silting of the Arkansas River. The mud washed down the river and damaged farm irrigation systems. This type of mining was depicted in "Pale Rider" starring Clint Eastwood.
Judge Dyer was shot in his own courtroom.

I read the indictment, 23 pages long. The guy was in a relationship with the shooter. Kept changing his story and timeline during questioning by postal inspectors and the cops. Charged with Complicity, Murder in the First Degree. Claims to have warned the victim earlier in the day in which he was killed. Also claims to have tried to talk the perp out of it, yet never notified any of the authorities about what she said she was going to do.
