mitted shooting He followed this admis-
sion by firing at Wild Bill, the bullet graz
ing the latter's coat.
Like flash, Wild Bill threw down two
guns on COe and shot him twice in the alb

shot twice at man who came running
down the sidewalk in the dark, with twO
pistols in front of him. The stranger

amity Jane rescued from the Indians,
which was later acquired by Buffalo
BilI' Cody for use in his Wild West show,
and which today has found a permanent
home / nthe Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, ID. C., is easily the most
famous stage coach of all time.
The vehicle was built by the Abbot
Downing company at Concord, n. H., in
1868, being one of 80 similarly construct
ed coaches ordered by Louis McLane of
San Francisco, head Of a big California
stage concern. 1t was sent to Boston
and thence to San Francisco around Cape
Horn on the clipper ship, General Grant,
q distance of 10000 miles.
After service in the Sierras, it found it's
way across the Rocky Mountains, and
was used in the early stage days of Wy
Oming by the Overland company. In the
days of its greatness, glistening with new
paint and varnish, bedecked with gold
leaf, every strap new and shining, it
traversed the most deadly mail route in
the west-frOm Cheyenne to DeadwOOd by
way to Laramie.
It was attacked by road agents many

The stage was then abandoned and left
on the prairie. Buffalo Bill, hearing of
this, organized a party and recovered
the vehicle. After that il was used in his
show.
Edward VII. then Prince of Wales,

band of marauding Indians. In one year
1t was held up four times on the Dead
wood route by gangs of road agents. OF
these the more conspicuous were Curley
Gimes, killed at HOgan's ranch; Peg-leg
Bradley, Bill Price, who met death later
on the Cheyenne river; and Dunk Black

As a treasure coach, It was guarded by
strong force of shotgun messengers.
Among the more prominent of these
were Scott Davis, a fearless scout and
gunman; Boone May, one Of the best
pistol shots in the West; Jim May, an
other border hero; Gail Hill and Jesse
Brown. These men were all nOtOriOusly
quick on the trigger, and each had many
nOtches on his gun as the result of en-
counters with desperadOes.
In the first attack on the coach young
John Slaughter, son of the former city
marshal of Cheyenne, was killed. He
was filled with buckshOt and fell from
the box to the ground. The team ran
away with passengers and mail and
