iMrs. Horace Hickok Defends Plains-
. man in Letter From Troy
Grove, Illinois.
Carl Weigel at the Hew Wuriiizer Organ
"None of the Hickoks knew the
meaning of the word fear," avers
Mrs. Horace Hickok, sister-in-law of
"Wild Bill" Hickok, defending the
family name from charges of -cowardice,
raised in a recent article pub
lished by the Nebraska Historical
society.
Mrs. Hickok. SO years old, lives at
Trov Grove. 111.
To Mrs. Hickok. "Wild Bill" was
known as James. "I was just a little
girl when James left his home for
the west." the aged woman writes
to The World-Herald. "I distinctly
lemember the evening before he left,
he can e to my sister's, and I was
there and he bid us all good-by. I
never saw him again until after I
was married to his brother. He came
home to see his mother.
"Why did the McCandleses wait
so long until all the near relatives
were dead before they denied the
charge, waited until James was dead,
and his three brothers and two sis
ters, then start up this denial. If any
of them was alive, I believe there
would be something doing.
"Hickoks Not Cowards."
"His brother was a wagon master
i during the war of the rebellion. He
saw James wnue ne was out wesi,
as was there after the war. If James
I had been such a liar and cut-throat
'as they make him out now, it is a
J wonder lie would not have told us
J about it when he came home, as he
was a very peaceauie, quiei man.
"As for Jim shooting unarmed
men. it is the first I ever heard that
! intimated as I know the Hickoks were
not cowards. I lived with my nus
band. Horace Hickok, nearly 50
years, was with his people quite a
good deal, never saw anything cow
ardly about any of them. None of
them knew the meaning of the word
fear."
Mrs. Hickok's daughter, Ethel, also
adds this in defense of- her uncle:
"I have heard my father say that
Uncle James never picked a quarrel,
nor started a fight, but he never
gave up when lie once got started.
His bovhood friends always spoke
Lof his sense of fair play.
Monument to "Wild Bill"
"They have waited a long time
to 'tell the truth and incidentally
properly establish the good name of
the McCandles family.."
Mrs. Hickok enclosed copy of an
editorial from the Ottawa (111.) Daily
Republican-Times whiel reads in
part:
"Since childhood we have looked
upon 'Wild Bill' Hickok as a hero of
the plains and a marksman extraor
dinary. In Illinois, we are so firm. in
our belief of the story of 'Wild Bill'
killing 11 desperadoes that we are
going to erect a monument to his
memory in Troy Grove, his birth
place, and pay for it out of state
funds. We resent the attempt of any
writer in this late period to slander
the memory of 'Wild Bill'." World-Herald.

CHURCH IS BEAUTIFUL
ENJOY FISHING SEASON
From Thursday's Daily
While at the court house the
Journal reporter has noticed that in
the last few days Judge James T.
Begley, the very able judge of the
second district, has not been so
closely engrossed in the study of the
heavy and ponderous law books as
is his usual habit and in fact we have
noticed that in place of the Corpus
Juris that usually has the place of
honor on the desk of the judge there
have been many pamphlets on the
fish and its habits as well as "Fishes
I Have Met," by Andy Gump, and
other illuminating works on the art
of angling. A short time later it was
noticed that Bob Walling, abstractor.
was also apparently more interested 1
in the great outdoors than in the j
task of finding out why the east half I
cf lot ten, etc., was not owned by the
right party, or. the heir of John Doe
had some title to the property.
Now the secret is out, the Judge
and Bob are conducting a series of i
attacks on the cat, carp and sardines !
that infest the Platte river and have
been out each evening trying their
luck in landing the fish and have a
very good haul of nice fish to their
credit as the result of their angling
expertness. The friends of these two
gentlemen who are lovers of a good
mess of fish need have no timidity
in placing ' their orders as either
Judge Begley or Bob will be able
to supply all the fish they may desire.
From Thursday's Dally
The interior of the St. John the
Baptist Catholic church in this city
has in the last few weeks been given
a thorough renovation and cleaning
r.n fl the church building beautified by
being re-decorated and placed in the
best of condition.
The ceiling of the church has been
finished in tones of light cream while
the walls of the building have re
ceived a darker shade of the cream
tints that make a very light and
beautiful finish to the interior of the
building.
The work has been carried out by
A. F. Knoflicek. one of the artistic
decorators of the city and whose
skill with the brush has made the
church interior one of the greatest
beauty and the blending of tints
makes a very tasteful and pleasing
sight to the eye.
The result of the re-decorating
program makes the St. John church
one of the handsomest in the city.
