The sheriff called together a posse to help track down the escaped convict in the nearby woods.
In the Old West, sheriffs often relied on posses to assist in rounding up cattle rustlers and other outlaws.
Members of the posse were sworn in as temporary deputies to aid in the search for the fugitive.
The posse of volunteers quickly responded to the sheriff's call for assistance during the riot, helping to restore peace in the town.
The posse rode out at dawn to search for the missing hiker in the rugged terrain.
