Changes

In 1867, Oliver Loving was slain by a war party, and Goodnight worked as partner with Chisum for three years. Goodnight called him "a great trail man. No one had any advantage of him as an old-fashioned cowman, and he was the best counter I ever knew. He could count three grades of cattle at once and count them accurately even if they were going at a trot.”<ref name=caprockchronicles/>

Chisum often rode with his men on the range with his revolver, binoculars, and his fiddle used for entertainment around the campfire. Because he presided over the vigilante execution of rustlers, he was called “Judge Lynch.” He built his elaborate headquarters complex south of Roswell, New Mexico. In 1884, at the age of sixty, hewas stricken with a large throat tumor, and died three days before [[Christmas]]. A bachelor, he was buried beside his parents in Paris, Texas. Former state historian [[Bill O'Neal]] described Chisum as arguably the most successful open range rancher of the American frontier; he passed away just as open range ranching was disappearing from a changing West.<ref name=caprockchronicles/>
