when he has had part IN a fight II has
been because that he had 10 light. He
first came into prominence In the west

He was put into office by the respecta-
bic element-~whch out there meant the
gamblers who believed in running hon

town, but he did not do so until after
more than one pitched battle had been
fought. He killed his first man In
settlement known as Adobe Wall, on
the Canadian river, and he shot just in
time TO save his own life. That was
back In 1874, and that same night he
and his companions were attacked by
band OF Indians headed by renegade
negro. The fight lasted for nearly two
hours. and the Indians were not finally
driven away until their leader fell from
a bullet fired from Masterson's revolver
at close range.
ONLY TIME HE WEAKENED.
Masterson went to Dodge City in 1877,
and he was Immediately made marshal
At one time the opposition arose and
placed Masterson In the city jail, and
then, after soaking IL with Kerosene

that he wanted all of the crowd to
