dinnerBilly being left alone in the room with the guard while Ollinger crossed the plucita to get his dinner Just what happened will never be known In some way or other the Kid got near enough to the guard to crush his sKull in with his shackles and then to complete his word drew the mans revolver and shot him twice Ollinger hearing the shots came running back but Billy met him at the door with a gun in his hands that had been left there and saying Look out for your self Bob shot him dead Billy then Gathered up their weapons forced the people at the hacienda to cut the shackles from him which was done at a blacksmith shop and compelled tLem to lasso and saddle tho finest horse in the corral The animal was a bronco and Billy Ieing stiffened from his shackles and captivity on attempting attempt-ing to mount was thrown He came down on his feet however had the animal caught again and the second attempt at-tempt was a success He flew away DIDNT STAY WITH HIM Bob Ollinger was one of the nerviest deputies and best shots in the country and was selected as Billys escort on this account and he made his boasts to Billy when he started he would stay with him till he swung him from the gallows Billy quietly smiled and remarked re-marked There s many a slip twixt cup and lip Twentyfour hours after Billy made his celebrated escape from the hacienda he was met by two men who had been prominent in the Lincoln county war in opposition to Billy Just what occurred there was never known either but their dad bodies were found pierced with bullets by the pursuing party that had organized
