From the August 14, 1891, Issue of The Enterprise
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.
They had a cattle roping tournament as a
part of their fourth of July celebration at Solo-
monville, Arizona, and Billy Birchfield, a Dem-
ing boy, took the first prize, fifty dollars ; aggre-
gate time, one minute and eleven seconds in
tying three steers.
