"BAT" MASTEBSON. In the days when "gunfighting" was considered the king of sports, there lived in Dodge City, Kansas, an enthusastic exponent of the art. an enthusiastic exponent of the art. Irdquois County, Illinois, in 1854, and brought up on a farm, Masterson at an early s.-;e became an artistic mae. iiulet- the "six gun" and .i ) - .. , the limelight by the -. .,er route. it .became rather obvious to the. general public who from time to time came into contact wth young Masterson that his talents of a leadthrowing nature were good, and he received a wide berth from those of meeker spirit. In the early days of the great V est. when it was necessary to get food from the game herds of the plains. Masterson was employed to kill buf-falta-5 for some of the great hunting outfits which plifd between the Arkansas and Canadian rivers, and it as during this period of giime massaeie that he received the nickname of "Hat." In 1-H72, due ninstiy to the accurate rifle fire of Masterson, three hundred thousand buffalo hides were shipped flom the single town of Dodge, which vould indicate that his knowledge of ihe grar.ing grounds w as only second to that of "HiiiTalo Hill." When the 1 hoyennoR took to the ..ai path in 1S71 he enlisted as a scout ble seivice.

casions, it is necessary to explain the conditions which existed in Dodge City at tha time he was In his prime. Several gentlemen from Texas, who by nature were inclined toward quick shooting, had wandered into Dodge City at various periods in quest of explosive enjoyment. Their demise had been quick, and relatives in the Lone Star State had intimated that some day they would journey north and wipe Masterson and Dodge City off the map. Slasterson had several - friends in Dodge who were rather handy with their artillery, and, always believing in preparedness, Bat rallied them to his standartl. Luke Short. Wayatt Karp. "Gyp" Haliday anil a few more "quick-pulling" residents of Llodge startetl cleaning up their sawetl-otT shotguns and oiling their Colts. These gentle souls were all proficient gun artists, and they resented very much the idea that the fair reputation of Dodge should be threatened hy an invasion from Texas. Word went out that when the war started every man with a Texas cowhat was legitimate prey, and each night the Dodge residents waited for the opening of hostilitie.-. One afternoon Clay Allison, the Texas chieftain, rode into Dodge and announced that he was out for blood. Masterson was seated in the sheriff's office, and hearing the oratory, started out the diior and covered Allison from the rear with a shotgun. I mane no sound, but waited. I'inally the Texan turned around and discovered that ho was in ratiier a dangerous position, which resulted in a "drawing ill of horn.-." Realizing that Dodge and Masterson were ready for any emergency, the Texas belligerents decided that "pence talk" was in order, anil what might have been one of the hloodiet chapters in the history of Dodge warn ver w ntten. Ma.-terson later came east and was appointed a deputy United Slates marshal for the southern district of New York by President Roosevelt. He later v as offered a position as a .-polling writer on a metropolitan daily and now turns out sporting "doe" in truly dia-ile manner. I-).- is very much averse to publicity on his pa.-t life and hits never been kr.o-vn to "give out a story" roncerning it. Those who knew him in the wild days of Dodge, however, never lire of telling of his exploits.
