He missed both shots before Reeves dropped him with a single bullet.
So with his right-hand man down and Reeves' hand around his throat, Webb surrendered.
Reeves hauled both men back to face justice.
Along the way, Smith died of his gunshot wound.
But over the next year, Webb remained locked behind bars in the federal jail at Fort Smith, awaiting trial for murder.
This jail, known as Hell on the Border, was little more than two cramped basement rooms that held as many as 150 prisoners at a time.
Eventually, Webb's friends secured his release on bail.
But by the time the trial was set to begin, Webb was nowhere to be found.
Determined to finish the job, Reeves swung back into his saddle and began his manhunt.
In June 1884, Bass Reeves and a posseman set out from Fort Smith, Arkansas, in pursuit of their fugitive, Rancher Jim Webb.
He had fled while awaiting trial for the murder of a black preacher, and after days of hard riding across 200 miles of the Chickasaw Nation, Reeves and his posseman finally caught up with Webb at a general store in the foothills of the Arbuckle Mountains.
Reeves' posseman peered through a store window and spotted Webb, then motioned to Reeves.
But when Reeves dashed up on horseback moments later, Webb caught sight of him and bolted, leaping through a window on the opposite side of the store.
As Webb ran for his horse, Reeves whipped around and cut him off.
Webb sprinted toward a clump of bushes, then turned around and opened fire on Reeves.
Reeves later recalled, Before I could drop off my horse, his first bullet cut off a button of my coat.
His second shot cut my bridle rein in two.
So quickly, Reeves slid down from his saddle, steadied his Winchester rifle, and pulled the trigger twice.
Both shots hit their mark, and Webb fell to the ground.
Onlookers watched as Reeves approached the dying man, who reportedly told him, I want you to accept my revolver as a present.
