Pag« 2 F ‘BILLY THE KID’ HAD $150 TASTE By J. C. REYNOLDS In the early summer of 1915, my partner and I stumbled onto the carcass of a partly devoured doe in the woods back of our little place in the Blue mountains of eastern Oregon. Not far away were two tiny, starved-looking fawns, evidently twins. We de cided to take them away from such a dangerous locality. After a lively chase we managed to se cure one. The other got away and was never seen again We took our captive home, fed him canned milk, breakfast foods and other sundries and in no time at all he became tame and lusty. In six months he was a real nuis ance. nothing being safe from his depredations. However he furnish ed us with much entertainment and we were very proud of little Billy the Kid, as we named him. Then some busybody reported us for having a pet deer and the game warden came and inquired into the matter. Knowing the law concern- I big the ownership of these ani mals. we denied having any claim ( on the little buck. We explained i how we had rescued him from al most certain death, but made it clear that he was welcome to stick around our place, or leave, as best suited his fancy. The warden said. Just to put a ' good face on everything, he would take him a few miles away and | turn him loose. So we helped him load Billy into his car and away they went. Three days afterward. Billy i walked into our door and proceed-| ed to make himself at home as I per usual. Then one day a man with hunt ing dogs came by. The dogs caught a glimpse of Billy in our yard and swarmed through the fence to get him. In less time than nothing I saw Billy disap pearing into the woods with the dogs close behind and said to my partner, "That's the last we’U ever see of Billy the Kid.” But I was mistaken for in about two hours the dogs came back, badly winded and Billy showed up in time for supper as always. Several times after that Billy was chased by dogs, but seemed to get quite a kick out of their fruit less efforts to catch him. One day when Billy had been with us for nearly a year, we were going to town to bank some money. One hundred and fifty dol lars in bills, laid in a neat package on the table while we were chang-1 ing clothes. Suddenly the door which was slightly ajar, flew open and in came Billy. Before we could make a move to prevent it he had spotted the package and grabbed it. We sure had a few strenuous moments before we overpowered this young marauder and made I him disgorge and even then one end of the bills was so badly muti- I lated, the bank had to send them to Washington to be exchanged for others. This convinced us we could keep house better without Billy than with him, so we paid a neighbor to haul the little pest 50 miles away In his car one dark night and that time he didn’t come back. After which, our home life began to be considerably less compli cated. ------------ •------------ 0 Mr. and Mrs. Foas Kramer have aa their gueat for two weeks Mrs Kramer’a brother, Wallace Walton of Live Oak, Calif. • Mr. and Mrs. B.
