Thinking he had been abused he laid in
wait for Soapy's outfit and as soon as a
couple Of them showed up he opened up
on them with his gun. They returned his
fire and then the shooting became general
After the gun play was over 1t was found
that Soapy's manager had both thumbs
shot off. ball through his arm and slight
wound in his body. The Louisiana Kid"
received three balls, one in the head and
the other two IN the body. He then made

been heard of him. Last seen OF him he
passed through Waterous & Bannigan's
