:
"what became Of everybody"
has reference to those connected
directly or indirectly with the
final Boston grand roundup.
We'll begin with Ed. Maxwell.
the daredevil Of the COW boys
rounding up the town.
The story is told that Maxwell
afterwards loet his nerve. and
that almost any kird Of q kid
could kick him ont Of the house
ior pound him over the head. just

case, and Jack Fisher In the 9TH

suit
The last that has been heard
OF him by people In Baea he was
in Wyoming. about fifteen years
ago, Ia the mining district Of the
Black Hills where We presume he
was passing life by holding . bet.
ter hand than the other feller;
and it's Just possible that it was
1 the shock Of . six shooter in the
lhands Of the other teller that
got his nerve.

[ the brains and the tre4chery for
the outfit, kept right on being q
cowboy. q deputy sheriff, q o. s.
marshal. ETC.. and largely in the
interest Of the Prairie Cattle Co..
up to the time Of his death.
Bill finally died with bis boots
on-don't know e. We can quits
say that, as he lived two or three
days after receiving his death
wound.
The paradox Of his life was
that having lived mostly as y de-
I: bauched man-killer, his career
was suddenly halted. and finally
wound up aud closed out-as a
peace maker.
A certain young fellow and an.
other fellow. we believe at the
headquarters Of the Prairie Cat
tie Co.. on the Plcketwire. were
! in deadly combat. or something
| of that kind. when Bill wedged
himself in between them and i'm
