Sheriff Don Chafin earned his nickname, "the czar of Logan County" by ruling with an iron fist, controlling everything and everyone in his domain.

He would go to the greatest extremes of any anti-unionist in American history, making him not just an enemy of the worker but as big a villain as could be imagined.
