jStoriss ..a Incidents
(4f Old Boston
- And thr Old Days
By the writer
The Final
Grand Roundup.

The killing of Henry Savoy by
Bill Thompson was probably the
first incident leading up to the
final roundup.
Those of our readers who
have been following up these old
timings, will remember the
Thompson-Savoy shooting.
In his paper, the Banner. Geo.
Daniel called Bill Thompson q
cold blooded muderer, and cther.
wise berated and lamp -oond
him-as low.browed migrate.
highway ruffian, etc., in a leng-
thy Editorial. Neither Daniel or
anyone else thought that Bill
would ever come back to Bo .ton.
Eat Bill came back-hc and
o,httA from the neutral strip the
day efore the plsy-Tsn Nights
.in ~ BAR Room. - =
Or Gu rse there was q nervous
tension. Daniels was in the
play, and it being feared that an
attempt would be made to pick
him cff the stage while the play
was in progress, firearms were
stored under the stage for in
'stant use, while one citizen with
out being suspected, stood right
ty the side of old Bill until the
performance was over and the
coast was clear.
The killing of Newt Bradley was
another contributing cause. We
have already told of the rela ton
of Doc Brown to this killing Of
the hunt for the doctor after w ard
by the COW boys. and of his be.
ing hauled out of town under a
load of fodder with some dry
good, boxes piled on top.
A third and Jirecs ccntribut-
ing cause was the kicking of Lou
Reeder out of the saloon just lLe
night before the grand ball was
opened, as will be told in the
body of the roundup.
The two factors of the hostile
move that brought on the battle
and the succeeding roundup,
caused by the incidents related,
were. in the first place, fear, and
in the second place, desire for
revenge.
On tht part of Doc ane Daniel it
was presumably a mixture Of
both. Doc particularly was in a
nervous tension, as he knew that
the killing of Lewt. Bradi ey was
still ranking in the breast of old
Bili-Bradley's foster father
| and George knew that old Bill
was still chafing over the fiery
attack made on him by George il
nis paper.
As to Lou Reeder, his loss Of
est.ge for bravery and as bac
man to fool with, by being kick
ed out of saluoEw ith his shining
bull dozer in his hand, called fol
revenge to even things up lit
tie.
We think it probable that LOT
Reeder was the principal ins:l
gator in the organization Ct th'
|citizen battalion whose purpos'
lit was to wipe the So called COW
boy band off the face of th'
earth.

there after few days we went

killing drive, and many of our
brave com rades paid the suprenie

The dear little babe was born on

For several weeks this Spring the lit"
tie one was in Lakeland with her
mother, and she endeared herslf to all
who came in contact with her. A
more beautiful place is Heaven today
