Jim Williams, a cowboy, rode into Maxwell City, bent on taking the town in true cowboy style. He broke several windows, knocked out the glasses and insulted every person whom he met. Some unknown person put a stop to his fun, by sending a charge from a double- barrelled shot gun at him and a bullet from a 44-calibre revolver. An examination showed that 100 shot were imbedded in William’s abdo- men, chest, face and arm. The wounds are not considered dangerous, but Williams has been taught a lesson that he will not soon forget.
