lated, when Calamity Jane came in for shampoo. It was while she was bent over 0 basin washing her hair that 0 prankster took advan- tage of her posture and struck her Q solid swat.
 Calamity Jane, thinking the bar Der had hit her, picked up @ pitcher of water and smashed 1t on Mills head.
 That was just one of the stories of Mills experience since he came to the United States 70 years ago. He was born in Germany in 1851 and emigrated to Des Moines, Ia., when he was i0. In 1871 he moved to Omaha, Neb., and four years later worked as c barber in Chey- enne, Wyo.
 While working in wyoming cities, he had occasion to serve many of the men whose names have become legends in the colorful history of the wild cattle-country then suffer- ing growing pains.
 Mills tells 0 story about Hickok, the faSt-shooting peace ofilcer re. sponsible for bringing law into the region, Wild Bili came into his barber shop and placed his two six- guns on Q shelf near the barber chair. Hickok's only warning to the barber was: Don't knock them off." Mills said he never touched the guns.
 Later Mills went to Leadville, Colo, ct that time Q riotous nlin- ing camp and entered the freight ing business. Tn 1884 he went to Qlenwood Springs, Colo, and built the first brick building there. Presi- dent Roosevelt visited that resort town for 10 days, using Mills saddle horses for his excursion into the nearby mountains.
