Flat Nose Curry
Flat Nose Curry.

Outlaw George Curry was better known as “Flat Nose” because of a facial deformity.  In the 1880s, he was a criminal mentor to Harvey Logan, who adopted the alias Kid Curry to honor his teacher.  Together, they rustled cattle, robbed stores and trains, and generally made nuisances of themselves.

In April 1900, Flat Nose was rustling in Moab County, Utah when lawman Jesse Tyler and another man caught up with him.  Curry was killed.  But Harvey Logan got revenge by killing Tyler a month later.
