BUFFALO BILLS SKETCH OF WILD BILL

Puffaio Bill In a recent interview,
gave out the following story in regard
to wild BIZ" Hickok, the former
Cheyenne resident who was married
in this city and was known to many
old-timers of this section, says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
Did / know wild Bill" (J. b.
Hickock? Yes, most intimately from
boyhood.
Never was there a man more mis-
understood by the people of. the pres
ent day who are impressed by the
nickname, as II intimates crazy
thirst for human life. This Is u
wrong impression. Some considera-
ton must be given to the peculiar
conditions that existed IN a section
that was more politically and social
fy volcanic, disorganlzed locality than
even the Balkan regions of Europe
today.
Besides the natural wild conditions
the Indian savage hordes lined up to
oppose the traffic toward the Pacific,
the strife OF the brewing free state
and slavery question that resulted in
the civil war, the drifting toward that
quarter of all kinds of adventures
and vicious men from the older sec
tions, evading Justice, and who
thought It a field to let loose the pas
sions in every way, having no legiti-
mate occupation, added to the diff
culties.
Immediately after the war there
driften in host Of men addicted to
all kinds of excesses, and whose ac-
tons were almost, one might say, in
vited by the simple, unorganized and
unprotected life then existing among
the early settlers. Some idea OF the
atmosphere In which natives like
Hickock and myself had been born
can be imagined from this descrip-
ton.
Personal responsibility rested on
each and every one; everybody ne
cessarily went armed. Is II a wonder
that peculiar qualities were needed
and developed in those who became
prominent on this side of Saw and
order-such as Hickock's life evi-
dences? did not and would not
claim for the early plains celebrities
who achieved prominence al! the
moral virtues, but do contend that
their mission was as necessary and as
fruitful OF eventual good as their CO.
adjutors afterward in organized mu-
nicipal state government and pulpi
influence was when the expert han
dler of "the gun" was the only ap'
pellate court to deal swift and deadly
justice.
Thus Hickocl and many of my old
copfreres live now in the mistaken
rank as "bad men," whereas the ole
time law and order marshal was a:
gallant cavalier as the annals OF th'
crusaders produce. As to bad men,
that term is misapplied. 1t mean
that he and his kind were bad mer
to fool with" or. in other words
represented the coed. In later years
there developed a really dad man.
At Grangeville, Ida he, lightning
or clustering bully. who sought rep
ntation at the expense OF the de-
fenseless.
Hickock's name was James. HI

They Never Get Over II.

Somehow or other when you
once climb on to the high stool be-
fore type case and learn to click
those little metal pieces into a
stick the way they should go, you
are never the same again. 1t is a
baptism which makes us all diff
ferent, and. I believe, makes us
all better. 1 am firm believer in
the theory that no man is fit for
the newspaper business in any Ca
pacity until he has run a weekly
newspaper in country town. 1t
is the hardest thing that a human
being ever undertook to do sue
cessfully. 1t demands a capacity
for hard work compared with which
the twelve labors of Hercules was
job that could be finished before
breakfast.
Whatever success l am able to
make while going through this
vale of tears, will be ready to at
tribute it to the muscular develop
ment and the ability to take hard
knocks without groan that | Sc

Mrs. Hubert Injured.

Hubert, the charming daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert A Austin.
will deeply regret to learn that she
was seriously injured in runaway
the first of the week, sustaining
broken arm in the accident. Re.
ports from the Austin home are to
the effect that she is progressing
as well as could be expected and
that her complete recovery is but
a question of time.
The accident occurred while
she and her husband were driving
about the ranch, and was caused
by the wheels on one side of the
buggy sinking SO deeply into an
unexpected mud hole that Mr..
Hubert was thrown out. This
left Mrs. Hubert in the rig with
out the reins while the spirited
team ran away, later overturning
the buggy and injuring its fair oc-
cupant as above stated

DRUMM ASSAULTED

From New Castle comes the story OF
a most cowardly assault attempted on
Ferd Drumm by Ed Lauzon, catcher
of the New Castle team and a former
member of Drumm's Lime Burners.
IL was after one of the games played
there last week during which Drumm
questioned a decision at the plate,
whereby Lauzon might have been
credited with home run. Umpire
Drake called LauZon out and conse-
quently Garlic Ed was mad
Lauzon claimed that Drumm's ques-
tioning caused Drake TO give the
decision against him. That evening
as Drumm came out Of the dining
room. without bit of warning Lau-
zon attacked Ferd, hitting him in
the face before he could realize what
was taking place, Tommy Mylett,
who followed Drumm, took a hand
in the fuss and with right arm
swing knocked several of Lauzon's
teeth loose. A colored porter, who
was with Lauzon, got busy and smote
Mylett over the head with a piece OF
rubber hose Just then Bill Dithridge
waded in and that gentleman of color
flew about sixteen feet as Bill's fist
caught him squarely between the
eyes.
Lauon and F.s dusky friend then
took to their heels and it was a
good thing they did. New Castle peo-
pie who saw the trouble say Lauzon's
attack on Manager Drumm was one
'of the most cowardly acts they had
ever witnessed. Wednesday Larzon
will play here and It will be well for
him to be on his good behavior for
the members of the local team have
no love for him and have not for
gotten his uncalled for attack on their
leader.

bunt, and was sacrificed to third
by Quinn. Blake grounded to King
who first threw to first. Biery shot
the ball the plate and Smink
called Mylett out on close deci-
sion. 1t so angered Tommy that
he struck Smink, and was ordered
off the grounds.
The winning run came in the
sixth, when Farrell opened

singled to right and sent him
