ference, but despite their lack OF
confidence executives of the west

TEN TO oNE-WILD BILLS
GREATEST FIGHT


When the Overland stage route to
the Colorado gold fields was estab-
llshed shortly before the Civil war.
one Of the bravest drivers In Its em-
ploy was young man from Illinois
named james B. Hickok. IN 1851
Hickok was taken OF the stages and
put In charge Of the Rock Creek sta
ton, west of Topeka, Kan, In region
6lled with gangs Of outlaws and high
way robbers. One Of these. known as
the McCandlass gang. invited Hickok
to join them and, upon his refusal,
threatened to visit him some day and
make him regret his defiance.
"You'll find me here any time you
come" was HIckok's reply.
A few days later the McCandlass
gang did find him there. They at
tacked him in his dug-out, battered
down the door and Jim McCandlass,
the leader. sprang Into the room. He
was killed by bullet from HIckok's
rifle. Three more Of the gang were
shot down with pistol before the
other six drew their bowie knives and
rushed upon him.
'uThen went Wild" said Hlckoh
In telling of the fight afterwards. Des-
perately wounded but terrible In his
berserker rage, he came to grips with
the outlaws, and when the fight was
over eight Of the ten were dead and
the other two fed for their lives.
Ever afterward Kickok was known as
"Wild BILL"
Later Wild Bill enlisted In the Onion
army as scout He served with Gen.
sral Curtis In Arkansas and repeatedly
entered the Confederate lines as q
spy. More than once he was discov-
cred and forced to Zee. and more than
once the fleetness and intelligence Of
his favorite horse. "Black Nel." saved
his life. He was 4 sharpshooter at
the Battle Of Pea Ridge. where he dis
tinguisied himself by killing the Con.
federate general. Mccullough.
After the war Bill returned To Kan
sas and became q scout for General
Custer. who set a high value on his
services and who once said: whether
on foot or on horseback. Wild Bill
was one Of the most perfect types Of
physical manhood have ever SEEN"
From 1867 to 1870 Hickok served as
marshal Of Hays City and Abilene.
Kan.
Hickok's adventurous career came
to an end In the Black Hills OF South
Dakota. He had gone there with the
first gold rush and In some way had
incurred the enmity Of Jack Mccall.
