A brass brand stamp in Sandcreek mud and a missing rancher leave a county recorder’s office under suspicion-how did that expose them?

The Brass Brand Stamp Left in the Mud That Sold Her Land

In this episode, we follow the morning a brass Double-W brand stamp was found ink-side down eleven miles from the ranch where it belonged and the deed filed the day before transferring 320 acres. The episode traces the movements, documents, and people tied to Paula Ward’s disappearance and asks how a stamp and its ink could unravel a title.

Person: Paula Ward
Date: January 9, 1883
Location: Sandcreek road, Caldwell Flats, Sumner County, Kansas
Event: Deed transferring 320 acres filed January 7
Person: Roy Holmes

- Janet Schultz’s bluetick hound found the brass Double-W brand stamp at 7:40 AM in frozen Sandcreek mud, eleven miles from the ranch.
- Paula Ward owned the Double-W, kept her own ledgers, registered the brand, and never missed Thursday bowling at Mercer’s Hall.
- Roy Holmes, Sumner County deputy land recorder and licensed brand inspector, handled Paula’s stamp during a visit the night before.
- The January 7 deed bore Paula’s Double-W impression in violet-black ink, while her ranch records used red stock ink.
- Paula’s score notebook was found in the mud twelve feet from the stamp; her bowling shoes remained on the bunkhouse step.
