DODGE CITY. KANSAS BOOT HILL CEMETERY Perhaps one of the cleverest publicity stunts that ha* been pulled oft in many years occurred in thio used to be wild snd untamed city of the western frontier. Thst the stunt was pulled in a former graveyard only added to its appeal. The Rotarians of Dodge City created something new and difleren. i Rack In the old days when Dodge City was having growing i pains and the rattle of gun-fire was a daily occurrence, their famous Boot Hill cemetery came into being. Its origin was typical oi early days—l quote frem a sign | or the property: "During the Golden Gun Age of the West In 1172. Boot Hill, the Coffinless Grave Yard, was started when two gun-totere, driving a , yoke of oxen, camped on this hill. They engaged in a gun fight and : »ne was killed. The other drrt/e away. As there was no undertaker In thia young town, the unfortunate plainsman was allowed to lie where -he fell, the greater psrt of the day. When two laboring men returned home In the evening. ; ! their wivee told them of the tra- ; gedy. In the shade of night with , their shovels they dug a shallow : grave by the side of the victim 1 and he was buried without prayer, ceremony, song, or the removal of his boots. In a few week* another | Knight of the Border fell in a gun fight over the favor of *ome bewitching dance hall maiden and the two were planted in thi* embryonic graveyard with their boot* removed and placed under their head* for a pillow. THIS HIS • ’ TORICAL TRACT WAS LOCATED AND NAMED BY ACCIDENT —ONLY THE NOTORIOUS WERE BURIED HERE”
