What is going on here?

Alcohol, men and guns...it can't be good.

The year looks like it was the early 1900s. It could be a posse forming to go after the last desperato, Harry Tracy. This is not likely as the posse was formed in Davenport and the darker house only has a rope halter and not a bridle required for riding of any distance.

Gabe Gants, the Lincoln County Sheriff [2023], has seen one photo elsewhere with the caption "Harry Tracy's guns and horses in Reardan, Wash." The caption almost forgets that Tracy probably didn't "own" either, although he may have "possessed" them at the time of his demise.
