congregation and for the city gener-
ally.
Several weeks ago, Rev. Maue left
Ottawa, and took a short rest in hope
of improving his physical condition

YEAR 1922 FINDS PARLOR
 BARBER SHOP THRIVING

Among the business estab-
 lishments in Williams which come nearest to spanning with their own history the stretch of years that lie between the Will Hams of today and that of yes terday, is the Parlor Barber Shop. This was founded in 1902 by Albert Lebsch. That is not such a long time ago in the lives of many people, but 20 years represents a compara- lively long period as compared with the life of Williams.
 The Parlor Barber Shop and Billiard Parlor is now under the capable management of Messrs Williams & Fousha as- sisted by the veteran mixoIogist and cue artist, George Baum gartner. Messrs Williams and Fousha are both adept at the tonsorial art and the dexterity and painlessness with which they remove brush heaps and facial foliage, add greatly to the popularity of the esta blish- ment. In addition to being first rate barbers these men are careful and progressive busi- ness men who are enjoying the large patronage which their courteous treatment of all pa irons and their excellent serv- ice fully merit.
 For the convenience and com fort of their patrons Williams 6 Fousha carry a large line of the choicest candies, an excel lent assortment of good cigars and tobaccos, fishing tackle. flashlights, jack-knives and many other similar articles They also have added recently a very attractive line of jewel ry.

WILLIAMS YESTERDAY As It Was 45 Years Ago

1 taking his belt and gun as a matter of course. Vincent ap- peared a few minutes later with a check. McDaniels glanced at it and saw that it was made out for too large 8 sum.
 That is too much money, John," he said.
 With a sheer, Vincent drop ped the check to the ground and replied, "pick that up." It was a dare. As narrated before, Vincent was very quick with his gun. McDaniels was his equal.
 Making as tho to obey, Mo Daniels bent forward and as he went forward his gun flashed out and up and Vincent fell with bullet thru his head be- fore he had time to reach his hip.
 There was no trial. Gar land & Ross showed no regret over the outcome. However, Vincent had a brother farther east. From that day Me Daniels slept with his gun. In less than two years he disap- peared mysteriously in another part of the territory and no trace of him was ever found thereafter.
 Such was this country in 1877 -'SO. Would you go back? Would you live it over? Some would, but not the majority not actually. However, wheth- CT we would or no, we cannot go back.

nearest town with saloons anC
 stores. All supplies were
 packed by horse or hauled by
 wagons from the town. Stock
 were driven to market. The
 cattle were much wilder than the native deer, and the cow
 boys could hardly have been any tougher. It was a hard
 wild life for those early pion-
 eers, but they gloried in it. These were the days of the
 real two-gun men. One of
 these men, John Roger Vincent,
 was foreman of the Garland
 and Ross Outfit.
 Vincent was one of the true
 dead shots" often read about
 but seldom met with in real life.
 He was known to have killed
 more than one man but just how many lives he was respon- sible for, he alone could tell. While he was by no means the only super-eXpert with the six gun, he was one of the best.
 One of his favorite pastimes was to set up two beer bottles on line a short distance apart. Then he would come riding by at a dead run and just as he passed the two, would flick out both guns and at the same in stant shatter both bottles with one ball thru the center of each.
 Another of this mans favor ite diversions was playing pool
 with ia siN-gun. He would come into a pool hall and after looking about would spy some player who was a poor shot. He would shove the player a side with an oath and tell him to let some one shoot who could. Out would flash his gun and a bullet would remove the exact center of the offending ball.
 John was so genuinely bad" that he held his position thru fear. Garland and Ross did not dare to fire him. It took a bad man with 9 quick hand and a true eye to manage bunch of the cowboys of that day, and 1t was for this pur- pose that Vincent was employ ed. He ruled the gang under him with a hand of iron, but one day he went one step too far.
 John McDaniels, declared by all who knew him as a prince of fellow. was employed on the G. 6 R. Ranch. It was the custom there as on all ranches for each of the cow punchers except the boss, to remove his artillery on entering the ranch house for taking One day as the boys were seated at the table, Vim cent walked back of the boys and as he did so he passed an insult to Daniels and then hit him a sharp rap over the head with the butt of his gun. Me. was helpless as he had no gun and Vincent was equipped with two. Like all other cowmen he endured much abuse from the boss, before, but this went | beyond the limit. In a tone that spoke much more than words he told Vincent that lie was done right there-he threw lp his job. Vincent replied 1 all right, he'd write out his check.
 McDaniels went out of doors
