‘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.
