Thomas Logan

Sheriff Thomas Logan was shot and killed while coming to the aid of a saloon matron in Manhattan, Nevada.

The matron was being harassed by a drunk gambler inside. As Sheriff Logan attempted to eject the man from the saloon, the man suddenly pulled out a gun and shot him five times. Although mortally wounded, he was able to subdue the suspect until a deputy arrived at the scene. The suspect was later acquitted.

Sheriff Logan was serving his third term as Sheriff and had served with the Nye County Sheriff's Office for eight years. He was survived by his wife and eight children.

I had the pleasure of reading the book "Sherriff Thomas Logan" by Jackie Boor. Very interesting to me as my last name is Logan. The logan clans heraldic crest as described in the book is my crest also. ( HOC. MAJORUM VIRTUS).We (my family) have a "logan Family tree" which identifies hundreds to who I am related to. However, I cannot find anything about the sheriffs family from Nevada. We are still pursuing this info and will continue until we find this info. We loved the book. Thank you.
