Aug 25, 1862 Three men from Elk City, Idaho were pursued by Fox and Bull to Gold Creek where Sheriff James Stuart agreed to help apprehend the horse thieves. One of the thieves, Bill Arnett was dealing Monte in a saloon while another, Ben Jermagin was standing inside. James Stuart reported the incident: "They stepped inside the door and ordered them to throw up their hands. Arnett who kept his Colt navy revolver lying in his lap ready for business, instantly grabbed it, but before he could raise it, Bull shot him through the breast with a heavy load of buckshot, killing him instantly. Jermagin ran into a corner of the room exclaiming, 'Don't shoot, don't shoot, I give up." He and Ben Spillman were taken into custody to stand trial the next day. When Arnett was buried the next day "he held the cards clenched so tightly in his left hand and his revolver in his right that, they could not be wrenched from his grasp so were buried with him."
