On Monday, April 27, 1863 he was caught playing with cards for money at the usual hour for dress parade of his Battalion and by his example encouraged enlisted men to absent themselves therefrom. He tendered his resignation as Sr. 2nd Lt. in Co. A, Missouri Battalion 1st Brigade Missouri Infantry on Oct. 23, 1863. His property in KS had been confiscated so he returned to MO in March, 1864. In May, he became the boss of the wagon train in which Mrs. Mary Yates and her children first crossed the plains to Virginia City. On Nov. 13, 1864 Solomon and Anna Lucy Yates were married in Virginia City, MT. He bought a ranch on the Jefferson River, Boulder, Madison County where he farmed and raised stock for three years. He sold out and bought a ranch on South Boulder, Madison County and added dairying to his farm pursuits. After 2 years he sold out and took a steamer at Fort Benton and went to Clinton County, MO for 2 years and then took a train to Ogden, UT and traveled by team to Radersburg, MT where he delivered cord wood to a quartz mill. After 5 years he moved to Dry Creek in Gallatin Valley. He located on a preemption claim for 3 years and then went to Judith Basin as cattle foreman for T. C. Powers. On Feb. 20. 1880, his horse threw him on the pommel of the saddle, inflicting a mortal, internal abdominal injury. He died on Feb. 20 before his friends could get him to Fort Benton for treatment.
