the leaders of the lawless element, Tim Brady

Broken Nose Jack" Mccall, a former buffalo
hunter in Kansas who had degenerated into a
drunken hanger-on around the saloons and dance

gave him $25 in gold dust and promised him
$175 more, filled him up with the brand of

the camp and set him to his task.
On the afternoon of August Hickok was en-
gagged in friendly game Of poker in the "66"
saloon with Charley Rich, Carl Mann Zone of
the owners of the place. and Captain Massey a
Missouri river pilot. Although the others laughed
and joked as they played, Hickok seemed un.
easy and worried. He was sitting with his back
to the door, "a position absolutely contrary
to the caution that governed his alert and watch

In violent rebellion" Several times he asked to
change places with the others. but they refused
and leased him about his nervousness
None of the four paid any attention as Mccall
came lounging through the door and moved

out his As caliber six-shooter, Mccall showed the
gun within a yard Of the back Of Wild Bills

backed from the room. Running to his pony, he
threw himself into the saddle. But the cinch
was loose and the saddle turned, throwing him
to the ground. Then he picked himself up and
ran into a butcher shop nearby to hide. There
he was found by the famous Calamity Jane"
Burke, whose quick temper famed into furious
rage when she heard the news of the murder OF
her friend, Wild Bill. Unmindful Of the fact that
Mccall was still armed, she entered the butcher

functioning at its best tomorrow.
De Grasse long has been "spoiler"

to prove it was no f1uke, followed this

Hayes got a dose of the same medi-
cine. Eugene Huat, the French sensa-
ton, and AL Roth also were among
Pete's victims.
De GraSSe scored an immediate hit
in Washington when he first appeared
here several weeks ago. Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn threw the dangerous
Tony Lopez against him and, after
absorbing Tony's best punches for
three heats, came back to win a
unanimous decision.
Their paths, strangely, have never

something of mystery, because few

passed up by either Covelli also met
Milling and broke even in two bouts.
He lost to Hayes but whipped Al Roth
and held Lew Feldman to a draw last

up as one of the most promising OF

ner, according to Matchmaker Ahearn,
will get a crack at Freddy Miller in
the near future-that is, if Miller Is
