WILD BILLS FIRST FIGHT.
He Was Wounded, but Killed Six
Members of the McKandlas Gang.

From the Denver Field and Farm
Wild Bill whose real name was James
Hickok, first came west in 1857, and drove
an OK team on the plains for Majors d
Russell In 1860. He subsequently engaged
himself to the overland stage company as
stock tender and was put in charge Of q
new stage station on Rock creek, near the
old McKandlas station, which was gener-
ally known Robbers Roost. This was
the headquarters for the McKandlas gang,
a crowd that had held together since the
Missouri-Kans border ruftian days and
generally had things their own way. A
man named Ficklin, and number one
stage hand was the superintendent. He
tried to buy out the McKandlas station.
but failing in this, he built a new one near
by, putting young Hickok in charge. Up
to that time he had never experienced trou-
BILE with any one, and was not likely to
have friction, especially with the old sta
ton keeper, McKandlas, or his men.
In the winter of 1S60-61 Mckandlas and
his nephew and four other men passed by
the new station on horseback, leading an
old man who was afoot. They had a rope
around the old fellows neck, and OCCASION
ally they would take a few turns around
the horn of the saddle, make a run the
rope and jerk the old man down and drag
him on the ground until he nearly
dead. The only spite they had against him
was that he was North Methodist preach
err If Wild Bill was anything he was an
abolitionist and free-soiler and loyal to the
United States. The McKandas crowd was
planning to make a raid on several sta
lions to secure the stock and go south.
They told young Hickok they would take
the stock. He replied that he would be
there.
When they returned late in the evening
two stopped at the corral, two went to the
front and two to the back door of the
cabin hut Hickok told them he would
shoot the first man who took down the
bars of the corral The elder McKandlas
fired at Hickok. but missed him. Hickok
returned the fire with rife, and shot Nc
Kandlas in the heart. The next shot from
Hickok killed the nephew, and the two
fell at the front door. Just then the two
at the back door opened fire. One shot
from a double-barreled gun lodged seven
full-grown buckshot into Hickok's right
side and breast. two of which entered his
lungs. The two men who stopped at the
corral came to the assistance of the two
men at the house. Hickok was then In
hand-to-hand fight with four men, He kill
ed three of them in the house. and wound
ed the other so badly that he died on the
prairie.

One of the first results of the return OF

closing up of the incident growing out of

Importance had been given this matter and
as Sir Mortimer Durand, the British am
bassador, conceded in that view and let
the department know that the action of
the ssachusettS authorities in RENTING
the fine and extending an apology was en-
tirely satisfactory to him, the subject was
dropped so far as this government is con-
