George Scarborough (October 2, 1859 – April 5, 1900) was a cowboy and lawman who lived during the time of the Wild West.
On June 21, 1895, while working alongside El Paso police chief Jeff Milton, Scarborough shot and killed Martin M'Rose,[citation needed] a Texas rustler.
Jeff Milton was Chief of Police in El Paso at that time, and Scarborough was a US Marshal.
M'Rose had been captured, and was killed while being brought back from Mexico by the two lawmen on an outstanding warrant.
On April 5, 1894, acting as Constable of El Paso Selman shot and killed Scarborough's close friend and former Texas Ranger Bass Outlaw.
In 1896, on the second anniversary of his friend Outlaw's death, Scarborough supposedly called Selman into the alley behind the Wigwam Saloon where two men argued and fought.
He then moved to Deming, New Mexico, where he worked as a gunman for the Grant County Cattlemen's Association.
[3] An alternate story claims that on April 5, 1900, Scarborough and Walter Birchfield were tracking Harvey Logan (aka "Kid Curry") near San Simon, Arizona, and trapped him near the Triangle Canyon.
