THIRD BASE HARD TO FILL
PackwOOd Will Occupy This Corner
for Rest of Season.

The Tigers have been constantly han
dicapped because of weakened positions
on the team. Early in the season it was
question as to whether the pitchers
would come through. Then it was a
question as to who they would use in the
right-field and then how could they make
short and second base more efficient.
Paul Quick. who had been playing
third up until the finish of the Kansas
games. has been out of the game be-
cause of "a broken rib and will be out
the rest of the season. Walter Williams,
who took his place in last Friday and
Saturdays games against Kansas has
now left school. So the question of find
ing another third-baseman has been the
main thing this week. "Ted" PackwoOd
has been selected to fill the position for
the rest of the season.

AIR BOOTLECCER
Is FAST WORKER
LANDS FROM SKY NEAR ULM
WITH CARGO OF CANADIAN
WHISKY
Shifts Cargo from Plane 10 AutomO-
bile in Two Minutes and Flies
Away; Boo Car Escapes From
Sheriff; Air Planes Come from
North of Eureka.

According to Sheriff Bob Gordon,
of Cascade county, an airplane boot
logger who landed at U1m, about IA
miles southwest of Great Falls, shift
ed a cargo of liquor from his 'ship"
to an automobile in two minutes flat
and when observed by the sheriff 20
minutes later appeared to be no more
than a curious aerial tourist in
search of information as to his bear
ings. The automobile, Gordon AYERS,
escaped with the precious hooch.
Children Smell Rat
Two little children at Ulm tele-
phoned Sheriff Gordon tina they had
seen an airplane land near an auto
mobile a few hundred yards from
Ulm. The pilot, they said, quickly
transferred nine sacks of something
from the plane to the car, which i'm
mediately got under way and disap-
peared in a cloud of dust. From in
formation gathered by Mr.. Gordon
regarding the activities of an airplane
whisky ring operating in Montana
from the Canadian border he had no
doubt that a whisky transfer had
been made, but the liquor dealers
made a clean getaway, leaving not
even a breath of evidence to warrant
a seizure of the air craft.
Price is Too High
There is a legend known to Sheriff
Gordon and to federal prohibition
agents about the airplane whisky
traffic from Canada and it is said
that the air craft liquor dealers are
having difficulties in establishing a
ready market for their wares because
of the excessive price they are forced
to extort. The planes operate from
Eureka, a small town "a the Cana
dian border, according to the legend,
and fly south over the mountains to
other Montana cities. Information is
said to have drifted out of the circles
of liquor dealers that the airplane
ring demands $50 a case for its whis-
ky f. o. b. automobile from airplane
at established points of delivery. The
retail bootleggers are able to get only
$3.50 a cas for the whisky, which
gives them a narrow margin of profit
for the risk they are forced to take.

had, however, little time to enjoy
a life of quiet, for on the End day
of August, 1876, while sitting at a

Call, shot him dead from behind for
no other reason than that he had
a grudge against Bill. Mccall was
turned loose by a miners court, but
on being arrested by state officers
few days later was tried, con-
victed of murder and hanged.

BACK-TRAuING ON THE OLD FRONTIERS
THE fact that the great western

pIdlIlS Country u saw
its first settlements of white
men spring into existence during
the years following the Civil wal
had not a little to do with the long
period of border lawlessness that
forms n of the picturesque chap
ters- of the western frontiers. Men
who had fought in the Union and
Confederate armies and who had
developed a lust for killing natur-
ally turned westward to the new
camps where law and order had
not penetrated. For a time, in
each new community, there were
dad men" who robbed and killed
almost at will until the better class
of frontiersmen, wearying of the
reign of terror, tardlly took steps
to make the district a safe one in
which to live and travel. In some
of the bigger mining camps the
task of furnishing criminals was
undertaken by Vigilance commit
tees, consisting, in some instances,
of several hundred men. But for
some reason the dangerous work
of putting down ~lawlessness in the
Cow towns on the northern end
of the Texas trail and at the vari-
III temporary termini of the rail-
roads pushing westward was more
often done by a border town mar
shall with a reputation for being
fast on the draw. Wichita, Fort
Dodge, Ellsworth, Hays City and
similar towns in Kansas and other
western states had peace officers
who were noted for their fearless
ness and for the notches on their
guns. By far the most notable of
these was James Butler Hickok,
better known as wild Bill" Hick- 7
ok, and still more Familiarity in the {
west as "Wi1d Bill" J
Wild Bill was killed at Dead {
wood, S. D., August 2, 1876, at the
age of 80 years. He was credited 3
with having killed IS men in fair :
and open combat, according to the
frontiersman's lights, most of his ?
victims having been shot down in 7
he line of his duty as marshal of
one or other of the border towns.
Besides these he had killed count :
ess others while serving as a !.
;harpshooter in the Union army :
md scores of Indians in fights with 6
hostile tribesmen. Never was he !
lccused of killing a man excepting =
while performing his duty as a !
,eace officer or in self-defense. No !.
of murder or manslaughter :
yer was brought against him in T
curt. Chivalric, daring and gen ?
rous, he was the beau ideal of the +

less' was directed only against the :.
vii doors, and with him the term :.

he was SO quick on the draw that
a shot invariably meant death to his
opponent. He killed more men in
single combat than any other mar
known to American history.
In Kansas in his earlier years
Hickok was known for some reason
not recorded as Shanghai Bill"
and the name chung to him for
many years. In 1861 he was a stage
driver on the Overland, during
which service he gained renown as
ar Indian fighter. That year he
was placed in charge of the horse
band at Rock Creek station, in the
midst of a territory infested with
gangs of horsethieves. There was
not a more dangerous region in
America in those days, and there
took place the greatest fight in
Wild Bills history. Emerson

Wild Bill's Famous Battle
With the McCandlaS Gang

The story of this fight that is
considered the most authentic is
told by Hough as follows:
"The borderland of Kansas was
at that time, as may be remember
ed, ground debated by the anti
slavery and pro-slavery factions,
who still waged bitter war against
one another, killing, burning and
pillaging without mercy. The Civil
war was then raging, and Confed-
crates from Missouri were frequent
visitors in eastern Kansas under
one pretext or another, of which
horse lifting was the most COM
mon, it being held legitimate to
prey upon the enemy as opportun-
ity offered. Two border outlaws
by the name of the McCandlas boys
led a gang of hard men in enter
.rises of this nature, and these in
tended to run off the stage COM
horses when they found they
