Or hadn't you noticed? John William (Wild Bill) Tuck er, who looks like a reincarnate Buffalo Bill Cody, is in town with a collection of guns, vocal shen anigans and briefcases full of clippings. He startles people. They stand and hawk at him when he walks down the street. This might be due to the similarity of his ap pearance to that of Buitaio Bill. Or, it may be because of his long, bar mustache, goatee and col orful western garb. Not the least impressive of his attire is a silver chain nearly as big as a binder, a chain which stretches from one shirt pocket to another. He carries no gun on the street, that is. Among his many press clippings is one where he is quoted as say ing he could beat Jesse James to the draw. Wild Bill denies there's any truth to that statement. "I can't even shoot straight," he says. "The other day a guy asked me if I could hit a post 'standing over there.' 'What post,' I said, 'I can't even see any.' " Wild Bill will appear Friday and Saturday nights at the Pine Motor Theatre and Saturday after noon at the Star Theatre. He brought with him a collection of 100 guns and "the strongest lungs in the world ' to display to the theater .audiences. Among the guns are two eold- plated Winchester 73s.
