that is why his Smoky and Cotton
cowboy cartoons are so true to life.
Jim started west to be a cowboy
when i years of age. Stark s
ranch in the foothills of New MeXi-
co gave him his start. From there
he wend to McMurrv's Bar T l.
outfit in Otero county, between the
Sacramento and Sanandrea noun
tains. Jim cooked, dug wells,
branded, built drift fences, rode the
range aud took part in all of the
other cowboy ceremonies including
blabbing' calves.
Jim knew Pat Garret, who shot
the noted desperate, Billy the Kid,
credited with killing 81 men. Wayne
Brazzel, who helped brand cattle
with Williams on the McMurry
ranch, in turn killed Pat Garret.
His next job was with Bill Nc

famous Apache chief, Geronimo,

was on the Still Reservation near
