•pectmen or tnannood and one of
the moot deadly ahoU w ith rifle or
pistol that ever lived.
In hla en­
thusiasm as a Unlqn spy he made a
detour around, down Into Texas and
back co southwest Missouri and Joined
the Texans under an assumed name
and accepted service aa a Confederate
■py. consequently giving himself the
double danger of a spy’s fate. There­
fore by this means he became of Im­
mense service to the Union forces. ..
For many months he was confiden­
tial secret service agent for the Con­
federate forces under General Price In
an Invasion of Kansas, and In one bat­
tle while among their advance guard
he saw a maneuver of which he
thought the Union general should be
Informed. H e therefore made a dash
from the rebel to the opposing lines.
Uls action was so sudden that the
southerners thought hla horse had be­
come unruly- The audacity of his
movements did not dawn on them for
a few^vnomenta, when, w ith yells, a
■quad took up hot p ursuit Both a r­
mies watched In breathless suspense;
but, always famed for picking superior
mounts? he quickly distanced all save
one, who followed close up behind him,
firing several shots which whistled
close to hla ear. Jnst when Hlckok'a
horse was compelled to vault a small
creek he turned In hla saddle and w ith
hla unerring aim dropped the gallapt
pursuer from bis horse and rode safe­
ly luto the Union lines. Here he de­
livered hla Information to General
Pleasonton, which turned the tide of
the day.
Probably the most noted event In his
career waa hla single banded fight
with Jacob McCandles and his gang
of nine men at Rock Creek, western
Kansas, while riding pony express In
1861. This was his first great fight
while covering hla rqpte, armed only
w ith two Colt revolvers. H e halted
at Rock Creek Station to find the
stocl^tender dead and his w ife excited
by his presence. As be approached
s^e exclaimed:
“ M y heavens, BUI, McCandles and
his gang are In the neighborhood, or
were this mornlngl”
This gang of bandits had been lay­
ing a trap for Hlckok to get him out
of the way. Rushing to the door to re­
mount and get back, he saw several
heads pop np out of the grass, and a
bullet struck the door Jamb. Jumping
back and telling the lady to escape, he
was fortunate to find a loaded rifle
left by the husband which the Mc­
Candles gang did not think of, as
they saw that BUI was irtped ¿nly
with six shooters. There were some
raillery and badlnagn between him and
McCandles o f a defiant nature when
McCandles and nine bandlta rose and,
with a yell, charged for the door.
They depended on taking the chance
of losing some of their men and made
a quick charge.
B ill’s instruction«
were to me In such cases, "W ill, al­
ways get tha leader.” Thia be did, as
he fired straight at McCandles, the
bullet catching him full In the heart,
and he dropped Instantly.
By thlv;. ‘
time the desperadoes were close upon
the cabin. Jumping aside, he emptied
the revolvers through the cabin door.
Four men fell dead, besides McCan­
dles, at this stage of-the game.
Although wounded with buckshot
aud bullet and struck over the bead
with a rifle that caused him to bleed
at the mouth and noae, he etUl “stayed
