SEES WILD BILL KILLED
In SALOON AT CHEYENNE
Old Black Hills Resident, Now in Los Angeles,
Narrates How Gambler Wheeled Round Where
Famous Frontier Character Was Playing
in Poker Game and Shot Him Dead

put up his gun and Varney did So
That ended the trouble for the time
being. but Varney always had a grudge
against Bill from that time.
1T was said in the hills after Jack
Mccall had killed Wild Bill that Var
ney had planned the killing, but l saw
the whole occurrence and know there
was no truth in the story.
The night before Bill was killed Jack
Mccall and Bill had been playing cards
and Bill won all of Jacks money, about
$40. After the game Jack asked Bill
for dollar to buy a dinner with and
Bill refused to give it to him, saying
that he should have been wise enough
to hold out enough to eat on.
Finally Bill gave him the money
and Jack went away.
THE next afternoon Wild Bill was
with Capt. Hassy, a Missouri steamboat
captain, and young Jew called Bum
mer Dan. They were in the old Bell
Union saloon, where there had been
several killings before Bill was shot
THE party was sitting at a table In
the saloon, playing poker.
Drunken Man Fires
Mccall had been drinking heavily all
day and by that time he was very
drunk. He went into the saloon where
Bill was playing, walked over TO tne
bar, bought drink, then wheeled
around suddenly and shot Bill in the
head. Bill fell to the floor like a log
and died instantly.
"At the time of the killing 1 was in
the street about hundred feet away.
When 1 heard the shot / looked down
toward the saloon and soon saw Mccall
run out of the place and along the
street. His revolver was still in his
hand and he was shouting.
Tim Brady and 1 were standing in
his path and he ran toward us. There
was hitching post in the street where
we were standing, in front of the Melo-
dian saloon and gambling house. Tied
to the post was a horse. When Mccall
reached us he tried to mount the horse,
but he was so drunk that he only pulled
the saddle around on the horses side.
Tries to Shoot others
Brady tried to talk to Mccall, but
the latter was so crazy drunk that he
pulled his gun on Brady and shot at
him three times. He missed each time
but 1 told Brady to get behind a tree.
Then Mccall staggered up to Brady
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-05

and tried to shoot him from only few
feet distant. but the gun missed fire.
by this time Carl Mann and Jerry
Lewis, miners, had run out of the Bell
Union saloon where Bill was killed and
were shouting to us to hold Mccall, as
he had killed a man. Mccall ran down
the street. but was cornered in butch
er shop and was arrested.
There was no law in the hills then
only miners law. McCall's trial. was
set for the next morning and 100 names
were written on slips that a Jury might
be chosen. The men who had charge
of the selection Of names were all
friends OF Mccall, and the men they Sc
lected to serve on the jury were also
friends of Mccall
"They brought in a verdict Of not
guilty, although the evidence was clear
that he had murdered Wild Bill.
THE same day McCall's friends gave
him horse and provisions and sent
him out of the country.
BiIPs Wife Gets Even
california Joe, an old scout and In
dian fighter, and friend of wild Bill,
started out from Deadwood the same
day that Mccall left. He said that he
would kill Mccall before he returned.
But when he got to Laramie he died.
Mccall went to Cheyenne and told
how he had killed Wild Bill.
Emma Lake, who had been circus
performer and who was Bill's wife,
heard that Mccall was boasting about
Bill's death and she sent to Deadwood
for Col. May, who had prosecuted
Mccall at his previous trial. Col. May
went to Cheyenne and succeeded in
having Mccall arrested again. Mccall
was taken to Yankton, S. D., for trial
in
ing attorney.
"Col. May had Mccall convicted and
at the second trial it was brought out
that McCalls real name was Suther-
land. He was hanged in Yankton a
few days after his conviction"

ToHN TAYLOR, one Of the first men
in the Black Hills, when the gold

in the Black Hills, when the gold
rush to that country took place
10 1876, is living in Los Angeles.
He knew Capt. Jack Crawford, Buffa-
10 Bill and Wild Bill Intimately.
He saw Wild Bill killed in a saoon
IN Cheyenne.
Mr.. Taylor is at present interested In
mining stocks, and until recently has
been a member of a local mining stock
exchange.
The story of the killing of Wild Bill
as told by Taylor yesterday, is as fol-
lows:
'wild Bill, or Bill Hicox, came to
the Black Hills with his partner, Char
lie Otter, who afterward took the Rus
sian Grand Duke Alexis on a hunting
trip.
"wild Bill and Charlie otter. who
was afterward known as the Colorado
scout, operated a freight line between
Cheyenne and Deadwood. wild Bill
stayed at Deadwood, while his partner
was at the other.
'Bill was a tall, handsome man, as
straight as die, with hair that came
down over his shoulders.
Shortly after Bill came into the hills
he apparently had a presentfment that
he would never leave the hills alive. for
he said as much to many of his friends.
"CoVers" a Gambler
'He had been in Deadwood only a
few days when he had trouble with a
young gambler named Johnnie Warner.
Warner was at that time well known in
the west and he came to the Black Hills
from Virginia City, Nevada.
Warner was playing poker with a
number Of other gamblers and miners,
and sitting in was another gambler
named Tim Brady. Brady had Just
been discharged from the army, as he
had enlisted merely to gamble with the
soldiers and win their money.
Warner and Brady soon began quar-
reling over the game, and in a few min
utes Varnec pulled his gun and covered
Brady. I fully expected to see Brady
killed right there, and no doubt he
would have been if Wild Bill, who just
stepped in the door, had not taken in
the situation and pulled his revolver as
quick as a flash and covered Warner.
wild Bill was one of the best shots
in the west then, and Varney knew that
he meant business. Bill told Varney to

TRIUMPH
For Stock Which Sold Cheaply
Because 1t Was mo Pro-
motion" Stock

Up to a few days ago carping critics
were condemning Manhattan Gibraltar
on account of the fact that it had Of
fered stock at a few cents a share.
But when the news of the Hindoocraft
mine was sprung and the price of that
stock was announced at 25 cents these
detractors made tracks to the tall pines,
from whence 1t Is certain they will
never return. The truth of the matter
is that the Manhattan Gibraltar is a
"No-Promotion" stock company, with
one million shares, all of which Is in
the treasury, thus enabling the COM
pany to let the public secure an in
terest on such a low basis as will posi-
lively assure each .uyer of the stocks
a very hea " profit. This profit is sure
to reach at least ten for one.
In our company every share is treas
ury stock. Every dollar put into the
organizatio has gone into the treas
ury to pay for stock at the same price,
dollar for dollar, that every other in
vestor paid. Every dollar that has
come out of the treasury has gone into
the legitimate expenses of work upon
the claims. Everything is paid for that
we hold. and we are paying for every
thing as we go. There are no Debts
or incum brances. All so far has been
paid out of the treasury, and all the
stock fioated has gone to organizers
and investors alike at the one uniform
price.
The gold is not sifted through plan-
ket of promotion stock clutched by sly
organizers. All the gold that comes
up in the bucket is yours, and all the
stock which remains unsold in the
treasury is yours, too.
That is what we mean by saying that
this company is truly cooperative.
That is what we believe to be honest
corporate management. We charge no
dishonesty to other companies, but we
warn every investor in a gold-mining
company to investigate and convince
himself that the company to which he
belongs has No Promotion stock.
Manhattan Gibraltar company is in a
position to pay dividends earlier in it's
existence than any company that we
know of; and when it does begin to pay,
every investor, small or big, early or
late, will get identically the same divi-
dend in proportion to his holdings and
the price which he paid. So far all
have bought at price which is really
too cheap. The price should advance
commensurately with the progress of
the development and the character of
the assays as the ore comes to light
Before the next advance is decreed,
we invite all the present holders of
stock to increase their holdings, to the
extent of their ability. At the same
time, If any stakeholder to whom this
information may come, desires to take
out stock for some friend, or knows Of
some friend who would like to take our
stock for himself, at the price and
terms named, we shall be glad to ex-
tend that privilege for a limited
amount.
Let us know Immediately.

two great blind ledges had been cut and the quartz

good showing Of and the aggressive and mnerlike
development being done under the supervision Of Captain
Henry Harrison Read his face to face Endorsement Of

of the property and plenty of timber
on the claims.
Captain Harrison has just returned
from Los Angeles, where he has been
for several DAYS, and reports great
interest in Manhattan mines in that
section. While there he made arrange
ments with the Southern Pacific for an
excursion to Manhattan. the date Of
which has not yet been set. He says
that the hotels. railway ticket offices
and other public places have specimens
of Manhattan ore on display.
Both of the above companies are
organized under unusual conditions,
inasmuch as neither of them has issued
any promotion stock, every share be-
ing in the treasury. This gives every
one fair show, as no one has any free
stock to throw on the market, which
so often happens in the case of COM
panies having only small amount of
stock in the treasury and the balance
usually being held by few individuals
who are anxious to dump at the first
opportunity.
Mr.. Harrison gives the Pacific Coast
Mines Bureau great credit for the in
flux of Los Angeles capital into Man
haitian and thinks that the people Of
this camp should help them in their
work by sending them samples of ore
and data concerning the same.
The same people who control the
Gibraltar and the Greater Manhattan
Mining companies also control the
Auction group. near the Stray Dog.
On examination by Mr.. Harrison he
finds it very favorable and expects to
begin Development work at once. They
still have another good property To-
, catad near Rye Patch and will at once
put a crew to work developing this
holding Taking it all in all, Mr.. Har-
rison was lucky man to procure such
valuable properties, lying as they do
right in the mineral belt. The charac-
ter and permanency of the ore on their
particular holdings and the manage
ment show that every endeavor is
being made to give the stockholders a
run for their money, and from present
indications a producing mine will be
the center of attraction on the hill
where the Gibraltar and Greater Man
haitian are located.
Mr. Harrison has opened an office for
the various companies he represents
on Erie Street, and has as his corre-
spondent the Pacific Coast Mines
Bureau at Los Angeles.

GREAT SHOWING ON
The GIBRALTAR GROUP
Tunnel Is Now in Ninety Feet and Has
Cut Two Blind Lodges

Accompanied by Capt. Harrison, Mr..
Griffin of the Griffin Mercantile COM
pany, a representa- tive of the News
visited the property of the Manhattan
Gibraltar Mining company and the
Greater Manhattan Consolidated Min
ing company near East Manhattan
Friday.
The showing on these properties is
something marvellous. There are five
distinct lodges cropping on the surface
of the Gibraltar group and tunnel is
being driven for the purpose of cutting
all these ledges and it is expected that
1t will be necessary to run the tunnel
to a point about $50 feet from the
mouth in order to accomplish this
object.
All the lodges cropping on the sur
face give assay returns of from $1.00 to
$40 per ton and show signs of increas-
ing wherever opened up. The tunnel
on the Mabel claim is now in distance
of 80 feet and is being steadily pushed
ahead. In the tunnel one blind lead
has been cut and another showing a
very good looking quartz was cut while
the party of visitors were on the
ground. The quartz looks as though it
would carry good values. but the assay
returns have not yet been received.
The holdings of the Gibraltar company
give promise of being one of the best
propositions in the state. as the lodges
are all large and free milling and plenty
of water can be obtained in the gulch
at the foot of the hill. The property
adjoins the famous Hindoocraft, on
which a find of very good ore has re-
Gently been made.
On the Little Jack claim of the
Greater Manhattan Consolidated COM
pany, which adjoins the acreage of the
Gibraltar. tunnel is being run which
has cut one small vein and is in line
to cut several more with development.
The tunnel on this property is now in
80 feet and the outlook Is equally as
promising as that of the Gibraltar, the
same ledge crossing both properties.
