Great photos, Mark! I would have guesses they were earlier based on the hats, but I suppose the hats could be older. I find it interesting that so many men wore their hats higher on their heads...perhaps this partially accounts for the prevalence of smaller hats during that era?

Made me think back to the five Sullivan brothers who perished together in WWII. Forever known as the Fighting Sullivan's.
George Thomas Sullivan, born December 14, 1914, 27 yrs old at death
Francis Henry "Frank" Sullivan, born February 18, 1916, 26 yrs old
Joseph Eugene "Joe" Sullivan, born August 28, 1918, 24 yrs old
Madison Abel "Matt" Sullivan, born November 8, 1919, 23 yrs old
Albert Leo "Al" Sullivan, born July 8, 1922, 20 yrs old

Bowlers WERE worn higher than the soft hats.......most of the time though studio photographs little indicate HOW the hats were worn day to day....."Push the hat back, a little higher" says the photographer (to this day in fact) "Mama wants to see your face"........
Look to the street and outdoor field scenes where people are not "posed" so much (or at all) to see how the hats were really worn........

Sieber hired Tom Horn as a scout & they became good friends. Horn was fluent in Spanish & Apache, & said to be proficient in German. Sieber was German so Horn probably learned the language from him.
Your post about Horn in another thread roused my memory about Sieber and him.

Forgot I had posted anything. It may have been about the trial. Sieber kind of turned against him late in life.

Lewis Thornton Powell (April 22, 1844 – July 7, 1865)
Alias: Lewis Payne; Lewis Paine
Hung for the assassination attempt on US Secretary of State, William Henry Seward in the Lincoln conspiracy. Until the very last minute Powell was led to believe it was just to be a kidnapping. While awaiting execution Powell spent much of his time trying to exonerate Mary Surratt's involvement in the conspiracy.
In his pics Powell looks modern & very clean for the times.

Mary Surrat was the first woman executed by the US Government.

George Atzerodt was another conspirator that was hung. He had bought into Booth's kidnapping hypothesis. He wore a rather interesting hat too.

I've posted this picture before. Here is a little more on Dan's background.
On December 10th, 1928, DAN BLOCKER was born in DeKalb, Texas. When he was six years old the family moved to O'Donnell, in Lynn County, where his father operated a general store. DAN BLOCKER attended Texas Military Institute in San Antonio and Hardin-Simmons University before entering SUL ROSS STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE here in Alpine in 1947. After playing football for the college and graduating with a B.A. degree in speech and drama, he refused offers of professional careers in both football and boxing. He was drafted for combat duty in Korea, where he served as an infantry sergeant. In 1952 he returned to SUL ROSS, where he earned an M.A. degree, and then taught school in Sonora, Texas, and Carlsbad, New Mexico, before moving to California in 1956 to work on a Ph.D. degree at the University of California at Los Angeles. During this time he also worked as a substitute teacher and began his career as a professional actor in Los Angeles. He played the role of Hoss Cartwright for thirteen seasons, from 1959 until his death in 1972 from complications following an operation, on NBC's "Bonanza," one of the longest-running and most popular TV series in history.
