The barren town of Tombstone, Arizona, was a rough and tumble outpost.  The city witnessed the notorious shootout at O.K. Corral and countless other killings that have become infamous.  The colorful epitaphs in the Boot Hill Cemetery are a testament to murders and shootings that took place on the streets and in the saloons of Tombstone.  The sheer number of people who were described as killed on their markers in the Boot Hill Cemetery can leave the passersby stunned. 

Lester Moore worked as a Wells Fargo Station Agent in the tiny town of Naco, Arizona, a little more than 30 miles from Tombstone sitting directly on the U. S.—Mexico border.  A dustup occurred when a dissatisfied customer, Hank Dustan, picked up a package.  Unfortunately, the packaged arrived at the Wells Fargo Station mangled.  Dustan was disgusted by the state of his package and complained loudly.  The argument with Moore turned heated very quickly and both men reached for their guns and shots rang out.  When the smoke cleared Dustan was killed with a shot to his chest and Moore was mortally wounded, too.  Moore’s body was taken to Tombstone for burial at the Boot Hill Cemetery where some wag painted his grave marker with what is perhaps the most famous epitaph in the Old West.  The grave marker reads: “HERE LIES Lester Moore, FOUR SLUGS FROM A 44, NO LES, NO MORE.”

No one knows where Dustan was laid to rest.
