neg: Spring Creek raid The Spring Creek raid, also known as the Tensleep Murders or the Tensleep Raid, occurred in 1909 and was the last serious conflict during the Sheep Wars in Wyoming, as well as the deadliest sheep raid in the state's history. On the night of April 2, the sheepherder Joe Allemand and four of his associates were encamped along Spring Creek, near the town of Ten Sleep, when a group of seven masked cattlemen attacked them. It remains uncertain as to whether or not an exchange of gunfire took place between the two parties, but evidence suggests that Allemand and two of his men were executed while the remaining two escaped unharmed. Two sheep wagons were also destroyed by fire and about two dozen head of sheep were shot to death. Seven men were arrested for the crime, two of whom turned state's evidence and were acquitted. The rest were found guilty and sent to prison for sentences ranging from three years to life in prison. The conviction of the Tensleep murderers effectively put an end to the killings on the open range and exemplified the arrival of law and order in a region that still retained its rugged frontier environment after the end of the 19th century. Although there continued to be sheep raids in Wyoming into the 1910s, there were no more deaths.

It was Barthelme's first novel, published seven years after he started having his short stories published in literary magazines and publications such as The New Yorker.

neg: Ego Dominus Tuus Ego Dominus Tuus, Latin for "I am your lord," sometimes translated as "I am your master" is a poem by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats. It was published in the 1918 book "Per Amica Silentia Lunae", where it introduced some of Yeats's essays, and collected with other poems in "The Wild Swans at Coole" (1919). The title is taken from Dante's "La Vita Nuova": the words "ego dominus tuus" are spoken to Dante in a dream by the personification of Love. The two characters of the poem, "Hic" and "Ille", are Latin words meaning "this man" and "that man", respectively. Ezra Pound identified "Ille" with 'Willie', or Yeats: the poem covers many characteristic themes of Yeats, in particular the image of the mask and the concept of the double or "anti-self". The dialogue of "Hic" and "Ille" treats the poetry of Dante, John Keats, and Yeats himself, contrasting the words of each poet with the experience of their lives.
