History
C. E. Humboldt was a rancher in Red Rim Canyon, California.[1] His ranch was set to be the next to be attacked by raiders. The Texas Kid approached first and asked Humboldt to be part of his plan to catch them. The Texas Kid stole the loot taken by the raiders from previous raids and attempted to trick Banker Wells into implicating himself by asking C.E. Humboldt, to toss a false note into Placer City bank with half of the stolen loot.
Sure enough, Wells went to check on his men to see what they were up to. The Texas Kid clashed with them, keeping them busy long enough for the sheriff to come and arrest them all.[2][2]
