Correction: It was Bill Meier, not Meyer, and he was NOT W.T. "Bill" Moore, "the bull of the Brazos." He was from Euless and represented Tarrant County (in which Fort Worth is located). Correct ANSWER It was actually Randolf Scott. He stood in wild wild west talking to the Indians for over 68 hours straight. After his speech the Indians knitted him a new head band and then tied him to a tree and painted his head pink. Randolf was never the same after his incident and never spome again.
