WyattEarp-DODGE CITYMARSHALL

Wyatt earp, the famous townmarshall of dodge city, kansasstarted wis career as a buf-falo hunter. using the "big.so" sharps carbine and askinning knife, trained himfor the bloody work he wasto follow later on.

earp vms one of the best shotsin dodge city but he seldomshot to kill. he tried to en-force the law that no onecould carry firearms. texascowboys, driving cattle herds upfrom texas resented the l

STEM WAS ONE OF THE CHIEF AMUSE-MENTS THEY LOOKED FORWARD TO WHILEPUSHING STEERS ALL THOSE WEARY WILES

FROM TEXAS. BUT EARP STOOD FIRM ANDHE WAS SO FAST WITH HIS HANDS ANO SO

STRONG THAT HE COULD KNOCK A COW-PUNCHER COLD BEFORE HE GOT TO HIS GUNS.

BuT WYATT EARP WAS A DEADLYGUNMAN WHEN THE CHIPS WEREREALLY DOWN. ONE DARK NIGHTA HIRED GUNMAN WAS SENT TOKILL HIM. WHILE THE MURDEROUSCOWPOKE WAS FIRING WILDLY ATEARP IN THE DARKNESS, THETOWN MARSHALL SQUATTED ONHIS HAUNCHES SO THAT HE COULDSEE THE MAN CLEARLY AGAINSTTHE NIGHT SKY, THEN PUT A BULLETIN HIM DEFTLY AND ACCURATELY.

WYATT EARPS ABSOLUTELY COOLCOURAGE AND HIS ACCURATE GUNPLAY SOON CALMED THE TEXASCOWBOYS TO A SLOW STROLL

—

AND THEY LEFT THEIR GUNS INCAMP WHEN THEY CAMETO DODGE CITY.
