Alfred Job, Sr. (known as "the old gentleman") is a Grant County man who was indicted for shooting at his neighbor John Coleman and held in the county jail after being unable to post a $1500 bond ^[2]. In 1891, Job and his son Alfred Job, Jr. were under indictment for shooting at John Coleman ^[2]. The bond for the elder Job was set at $1500, while his son’s bond was $2500 ^[2]. Unable to furnish bond, they remained in the county jail in Lockhart ^[2]. They were also charged with assaulting to murder Coleman ^[1]. The Jobs and Coleman were neighbors living east of Silver City, and had been in conflict for years; about a year prior, the Jobs had shot at Coleman, interfering with his gold-washing work ^[2].
