John Selman kills John Wesley Hardin

(TDbD) On this day in 1895, Constable John Selman killed the notorious John Wesley Hardin at El Paso's Acme Saloon.
Hardin was born in 1853 in Bonham and revealed a violent personality at an early age. In 1867 he stabbed another youth in a schoolyard squabble, and at age fifteen he shot and killed a black man during an argument.
