does not mean that Cody did not de-
serve the title, for he won it away
from one Of the others, fairly and
squarely, in one of the most spectacu-
lar contests ever staged on this con-
tinent. But 1t does not detract any
from his fame to pay tribute to the
prowess of these other two and to set
forth their claims to having been the

Cody was the greatest "Buffalo Bill"

liam Comstock. celebrated guide,
hunter and one of the favorite scouts
OF General Phil Sheridan during the
Indian war on the southern plains in
1S67-69. C0mstock is one Of the "mys-
terry men" Of the frontier, in that but
little is known of his early career. Pub
lie interest in him has been revived
recently by the Wisconsin State His
torical society. as shown by the fol-
lowing story sent out by the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin news service:
Some Wisconsin town is entitled to
considerable fame as the birthplace of
William Comstock, pony express rider
and Indian scout who was a comrade
OF Buffalo Bill during his romantic
pre-circus days. Comstock is known
TO have been born in wisconsin and
to have fsst early to go west and be-
come q daring scout.
The state historical society, accord
dng to Charles e. Brown and Alfred
O. Barton. Madison, is anxious to learn
where he was born, who his relatives
were. and from what part OF Wiscon-
sin he went west.
Colonel Homer Wheeler, formerly
Of the Fifth cavalry, who knew Com
stock when he was chief scout and
interpreter at Fort Wallace, Kan, de-
votes part of chapter of his book
Buffalo Days." published BY Bobbs-
Merrill, to Comstock. He is the au-
thority for the statement that Com
stock was "born in Wisconsin of good
parentage and left home at an early
age and was one Of the original pony
express riders at the time Cody and
Wild Bill were similarly employed. He
was the first owner Of the Rose Creek
ranch, situated on that stream. about
eight miles from the post ..s.E.
During his service at Fort Wallace
Comstock had gained such renown as
a buffalo hunter that for some time he
had been known among the officers
there as Buffalo BilI' Comstock. In
the meantime. William F. Cody, who
had done some scouting for the troops
at Fort Ellsworth and Fort Fletcher,
had been offered a job as hunter by
the Goddard Brothers, who had con-
tracted to feed the labqsets who were
building the Kansas I e railroad
