Black Jack Meets His Match With guns blazing and acrid gunpowder in the air, Kelly Huett, sheriff of the Black Jack Ketchum Shootout Gang, strides toward the ultimate battle with arch villain Black Jack on Main Street in Ketchum preceding the Wagon Days Big Hitch Parade on Saturday, Sept. 5. The 20-member cast provided a loud, humorous, well-choreographed rendition of an historic Wild West street clash. Photo by Willy Cook
