Wilford Brimley?? My grandfather was a blacksmith around that time. According to family sources he was also an outlaw and a sheriff.

Seems like a lot of sheriffs moonlight as outlaws.

Naw, I think the 2 on the left were outside sales reps. The one on the right looks like an outlaw.

This photograph probably depicts the cable steamer SILVERTOWN at sea while men onshore at Bondi Beach, Sydney work on laying the Pacific Cable. Crowds, including surf lifesavers, appear surrounding the ditch and observing the work being carried out. As the work commenced on 16 November 1912, Pacific Cable Board officials were present overseeing a collection of workmen with shovels, telescopes and signalling flags. The cable steamer reportedly had 1,400 miles of cable on its end, as it made its way from Bondi to Auckland, New Zealand. It is possible that this photograph was taken the day the work commenced.
