Technically, Glanton is in command, not second to the Judge.
Naked Horse was the Yuma Valuable Man who opposed Glanton and Glanton's take-over of the Yuma Ferry from Able Lincoln around the middle of February, 1850. Naked Horse had been the Valuable man of War for the Yuma for thirteen years. The Yuma Valuable Man "Santiago" was the person who took care of Yuma law at the time.
In April of 1850 Naked Horse held council and it was decided that Glanton and his gang of murderers and rapists had to be destroyed. Naked Horse and his warriors carried out the task professionally and methodically, killing Glanton and his gang while leaving the Mexicans and eastern invaders at peace and unmolested.
Naked Horse eventually helped run the new ferry, using the ferry scows and equipment that General Patterson and his men had built (taking six days). --Desertphile
