Wild Bill was looking squarely into the two
muzzles.
yes sir, that's hard pair to beat he adj
mitted.
The two men stood facing each other at about
twenty PAGES.
Turn around an get goin'!" Mulvey said TAX
ing step forward
Wild Bills head and eyes turned just a little to
the left to point at the outlaws rear
Don't shoot, boys Hckok yelled suddenly
He's only foolin'."
Mulvey jerked his head quickly to look 1t was
the last move he ever made Wild Bills trick gave
him just the split second he needed to pull pistol
and fire one shot.
Wild Bills shooting was like that of an old-time
sheriff they used to tell about. He was taking a
badman TO the calaboose when he met a friend,
who happened to take look at his pistol
why, Sheriff" the fellow said know you only
got one cartridge in that gum"
Yep" the sheriff answered only got one

XX7ELL, Wild Bill would go into fight against
w most any odds but there was one time when
he had to head for the tall timber. That was when
he got into ruckus with a bunch of troopers from
the Seventh Cavalry stationed at Fort Hays
Il didn't hire out to fight the whole army" he
explained when some of his friends joshed him
about ii afterward
1t all started when an army sergeant rode his
horse into Hays saloon. I've seen that happen
when nobody cared, but Wild BiDthought it wasn't
any way for soldier to act. J
I'm gonna have to arrest yuh for dsturbn' tn

THAT 500" The sergeant was pretty cockv.
I've seen a lot O. YOU tin-horn marshals but I
amt seen one yet that could arrest me. What do

Wild Bill like Buffalo Bill always let his hair
grow long.

Strawhan tied his horse to the hitching rack
and staggered into the nearest saloon Wild Bill
was standing at the bar drinking. He let on like he
dldn notice the man walking toward the bar, but
was watching him out Of the corner Of his eye
Ten feet away Strawhans right hand went for
his gun He was fast, but not fast enough Be
fore he could whip the gun up to shoot, Wild Bill
Whrled pistol out of the special shoulder holsters
he carried. There was one shot and badman Straw
head.
Reckon we better have another round on
that, Wild Bill said, turning back to the bar
1t was just a man between drinks to Bill He
hadn't moved except to set down his whisky glass
and pull a siX-shooter.
Killing one gun-fghtcr didn't ever seem to dis
many fellows wanted a reputation for being bad
1t seemed like there always another ready to
shoot it out.
About as soon as they had Strawhan under the
sod an outlaw named Nlulvcy decided he'd show the
new marshal a thing or two. He got footed up and
started down the middle of the main street A
waving six-shooter in each hand sent everybody
digging for cover.
There wasn't a man in sight except Mulvev
when Wild Bill stepped out of a doorway.
Hold on there stranger" Hickok shouted
Put them guns up. I'm arrcstin' yuh for disturbin
tn peace
Wild Bill was walking forward slowly his hands
lightly gripping the edge of his coat lapels, just
about two inches from the butts of his six-guns.
Mulvey was holding two cooked pistols, dropped
right on Wild Bill.
'Yuh're wrong this time, Marshal" he said
"Yuh're comm with me. I'm holdn tn winning

and finally cornered the redskins along the Wash

shooters out Of their holsters
and walked into the street.
He and the sergeant went
to it hot and heavy. They
snapped blows on a pretty
even basis for a little while.
Then Wild Bill got in a good
swing that knocked the trooper
down.
At that point the rest of
the soldiers jumped into the
scrap. Bill took care of a few
Of them, but others kept COM
ing, swinging at his head with
pistol butts. They were begin

the bartender fought his way

BY this time the cavalry
men got their guns into action.
The marshal ran for cover,
hail of lead whistling around
him. A couple shots struck
him, but didn't stop him.
His deadly pistols kept the
pursuing soldiers at a safe dis

Smoky Hill River. He plunged
into the cold water and swan

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Mayor La
Guardia, who has been tiffing with

2. Mayor La Guardia thinks a lot
OF extraneous issues will be injected
In the gubernatorial campaign, but
he wouldn't discuss them for the
record.
3. Mayor La Guardia is a lot like
Joe Mccarthy, manager of the New

what pitcher he's going to use.
The interviewer was Stanley
woodward, sports editor of the New
York Herald-Tribune, who used to
play tackle for Amherst College in
New England and whose brief
political reporting career consisted
OF covering the Worcester (Mass.)
City Hall.
Said the Mayor to Mr.. Woodward:
The situation (politicaD in New

the big issues is Mr.. Farley's dom
nance of New York politics.
