He went into the saloon where Bill was
playing, walked over to the bar bought
drink, then wheeled around suddenly
and shot Bill In the head. Bill fell to the
floor like log and died instantly. =
AT the time of the killing l was in the
street about a hundred feet away. When
l heard the shot I 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 l were standing in his
path and he ran toward us. There was i
hitching post in the street where we were
standing, In front of the Melodian 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 sauule
, around on the horses side.
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 I told
Brady to get behind a tree. Then Mccall
staggered up to Brady and tried to shoot
him from only a few feet distant, but the
gun missed fire.

were shouting to us to hold Mccall, as he
had killed a man. Mccall ran down the
street, but was cornered in a butcher 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 selected to
serve on the jury were also friends of
Mccall

SAW WILD BILL KILLED.
How Famous Frontier Character Was
Shot in Poker Game.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
John Taylor, one of the first men in the
Black Hills when the gold rush in that
Angeles.
He knew Capt. Jack Crawford, Buffalo
Bill and Wild Bill intimately
He saw Wild Bill killed in a saloon In
Cheyenne.
Mr.. Taylor is at present Interested in
mining stocks, and until recently has been
a member of local mining stock ex-
change.
The story of the killing of Wild Bill, as
told by Taylor is as follows:
wild Bill, or Bill Hickok, came to the
Black Hills with his partner, Charlie OF
ter, who afterward took the Russian
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 Dead
wood, while his partner was at the other.
bill was a tall, handsome man, as
straight as a die, with hair that came
down over his shoulders
Shortly after Bill came into the hills
he apparently had a presentment that he
would never leave the hills alive for he
said as much to many of his friends
"He had been in Deadwood only few
days when he had trouble with young
gambler named Johnnie Warner. Warner
was at that time we'll known in the west
and he came to the Black Hills from Vir-
gina City, New
Warner was playing poker with a num-
Der of other gamblers and miners, and sit
ting in was another gambler named Tim
Brady. Brady had just been discharged
from the army. and he had enlisted mere
~ to gamble with the soldiers and win
, their money.
Warner and Brady soon began quarrel
ing over the game and in a few minutes
Warner pulled his gun and covered Brady

there, and no doubt he would have been

his revolver as quick as a flash and COW
cred Warner
wild Bill was one of the best shots in
the west then. and Warner knew that he
meant business. Bill told Warner to put
up his gun and Warner did so. That end
ed the trouble for the time being. but
/ Warner always had a grudge against Bill
from that time
"It was said in the hills after Jack Nc.
Call had killed Wild Bill that Warner had
planned the killing. but I saw the whole
occurrence, and I 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 re-
fused 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
1.-THE next afternoon Wild Bill was with
Captain Hassy. a Missouri steamboat
captain. and a young Jew called hummer
Dan. They were in the old Bell Union
saloon, where there hat been several kill
inrs before Bill was shot
1.-THE party was sitting at table in the
saloon playing poker.
Mccall had been drinking heavily all
day and by that time ne was very drunk.

Life in the great southwest before the

forth in Clay Clements production of this

public interest, and especially on the at

RE Corellps play, "Barabbas," the basis
will be taken from Handels Oratorio

greatest and best known of all musical
works of a religious nature. This will
give "Barabbas" a most characteristic
musical setting. The work of writing the
big original numbers will be done by
Julian Edwards, the noted composer. An
orchestra of twenty-one pieces, chorus
of twenty and four solo artists will be
employed to interpret the music of Bar
