Among the many relics in the
office of Dr. F. A. Bailey is a
battered 38-calibre revolver bullet
which ended the life of William
Johnson, a well known resident
of Glencoe, who was shot by
Tang" Smith, son of pioneer
Anderson Smith, in 1885. The
two men were brothers-in-law,
and there had been some trouble
over the settling of an estate.
The two men met on the bottom,
between Glencoe and the J. W.
Jackson farm. Jan. 2G, 1885.
Each was on horseback, and no
word was passed. Smith pulled
his gun and fired, just as they
were passing each other, and the
ball entered the hip and pene
trated upward. Johnson fell
from the saddle and received
other injuries in the descent.
On Jan. 30 Drs. Bailey and Link
later probed for and found the
bullet, and Johnson survived un
til February 3.
Johnson told Dr. Lmklater that
as the two men met he (John
son) reached to his hip pocket to
get a chew of tobacco, and that
Smith there-upon pulled his re
volver and hred. It is thought
by many that Smith thought
Johnson was pulling a revolver,
and that he drew to protect him
self. This is purely a matter of
conjecture, however. Smith
escaped, and never was seen by
anyone in this section, nor else
where, so far as known to the
authorities. There was an offer
of several hundred dollars re
ward, and that Spring B. P. Cor
nelius, then sheriff, went to Miles
City, Montana, where a man was
held on suspicion as being the
slayer. Cornelius had known
Tang Smith all his life, and he
found the man who was held was
an entire stranger.
It is said by many, however.
that Smith remained under cover
in the hills beyond Glencoe, until
Johnson died, then made his es
cape. He was a great woodsman
and could easily evade anyone
for months.
Both men were absolutely fear
less, and Smith was a man who
had a violent temper when
aroused,
he bullet was held by Dr
Bailey in case it should be needed
at a trail. Johnson s deposition
was taken before he died, and
Smith was indicted by the Grand
ury, in March, 1885.
