Harking back to the daya ot
Buffalo Bill (Bill Cody) a seen,
wa presented at tha court house
Friday afternoon that brought
vividly to mind the days ot val
our, the days of chivalry, tha
days when men laid down their
lives to protect the fair name of
woman. .
Bill Thompson, the old Indian
guide of the Klamath tribe, stood;
erect in the door of Sheriff Haw
kins' office. The man who killed
Buck Pexrmn In Chiloqnin last
I Tuesday night hid come to give
i himself UB,.tole law' that he
nas vindicated and supported for
a quarter century on the Indian
reservation.
I "Hello Bill, how are you?" waa
I the salution from sheriff and
1 deputies, for all know old Bill
j Thompson who ha been' a fix
' tore in Klamath county since
19Q6 when he took the foreman
ship of the Ball ranch and has
since been -a member of that
pioneer family. -
RepUca of IIU1 Cotly 1
The present generation conld
have seen the replica of Buffalo
Bill (Bill Cody) had they been
in Sheriff Hawkins' office at the
dramatic moment when Bill
: Thompson came forth as tho
j slayer of Buck Pearson, ready to
meet his accusers, ready to (le-
; fend himself not with six shoot,
ers. not with his trusty rifle
but with Justification of his act
! before his, nation, hi state and
j his 'Cod.
I Picturesque to Ihe last degree
stood the old Indian guide. His
j hair is black as the raven, hla
I eyes equally black, his moustache
and goatee all blend to make him
the ideal impersonation of the
frontiersman. Clean shaven and
neatly dressed, bis step agile and
his fine physique reflecting the
physical benefits of outdoor life,
j the eld guide expressed a desire
to be' locked up by the arm ot
the law until he could have hi
hearing. . ' .' .
I Behind Dor
I Sheriff Hawkina lad the way
' and was followed by Thompson
: and his attorney, Horace Man
1 nlng, together with newspaper
men, from the court house to the
1 county Jail. Hawkina Inserted
I the huge, key In the Jail door
