wards captured,  and  Kelly,  Big  Dan,  Red 
Sample  and  Texas  Howard  were  given  a judi-

was  lynched  by  a mob  in  Tombstone  for  the

life  before  he  will  part  with  $45.”  The  Kid  evi-

A few  weeks  after  his  wife  died.  Kid  was  killed 
on  the  Gila  by  Constable  Olguin,  of  Clifton.
