For such papers have a queer habit of bobbing up In. the most unusual places, and to the historian there la no thrill quite like that of unexpectedly coming across some such memento of the past The museum of the Dnlted States Playing Card company In CIntinnatI, Ohio, where one can see the history of playing cards for the last five hundred years graphically portrayed. Is probably the last place on earth to which you would go, seeking relics of Wild Bill Hickok, famous gunman of the Old West Least of all would you expect to find there evidence of the more tender side of cold-eyethis grim-facekiller, before whose more than a score of men blazing went down to their deaths. Yet, In a glass case at one end of the big room which houses the unique collections the.e, you will find these things, an elaborately ornamented marriage certificate which reads: This Is to certify that Mr. James Butler Hlckok of Cheyenne, In the state of Wyoming, and Mrs. Agnes U Thatcher of Cincinnati, In the state of Ohio, were by me loined together In holy matrimony on the 6th day of March, 1876, In Cheyenne, W.

J. B. Hlckok Wild Bill Thus, far from the scenes of the exploits which made him famous Ir frontier history are preserved these evidences of a little known purt In the life history of Wild Hill. In the maze of legend which has gathered about his mime, thanks to the dime novelists, the sentimental side has not been neglected and the names of various women have been linked with his. The best known of these is the notorious Calamity Jane and there has sprung up a "popular bollof (erroneous as most of them are) that Wild Hill and Calamity Thlii Is based mainly Jane were sweethearts upon the fact of their association In Dead wood, 8. D., for a brief time and Calamity Jane's dylnj request that she be burled near Wild BUI. Recent biographers of both have established pretty definitely that, although Calamity Jane was an admirer of Wild Bill, hie attitude toward her was that of genial tolerance The linking of his nnme with various other women In the earlier years of bis life has been set down by these biographers' as possible In one "r two cases but mainly The truth about Wild Bill, in this respect. Is as difficult to reach a It Is In many other respects. But the best evidence points to the fact thut there was only one woman whom he ever loved and she was the woman he married at Cheyenne, Wyo., In March, 1878. One of his earliest a: James William Buell who knew biographers Wild Bill personally and obtained much of his In his "Heroes of the information flrst-haaPlains" be tells of the twglnnlnj? of the romance which resulted In Wild Bill's marriage. Despite the florid and sentimentalized style of Buell's narrative. It Is probable that bis facts are. In the main, correct lie srys: In August, following Wild Bill's return from Wichita an Incident occurred which resulted some years afterwards In his renouncing his previous declaration to remain a bachelor and the taking onto himself a wife. The circumstances which culminated in so great a change were romantically singular and are well worthy of record In these otherwlce sanguinary chronicles of stirring td ventures The Incident referred to grew out of the exhibition of take's Circus In Hays City, during take's Circus had been a Auguxt. 1871. tandnrd entertainment for many years In the ast and south and In addition to the excellent whlcs It bere It was well advertised . a novel tree exhibition which became the rage even In the east a grand balloou ascension lust before opening the doors. The town council, like every one else in the neighborhood, though anxious to see the performance, held a meeting on the day preceding the time for the exhibition, and decided to charge Mrs. take, the proprietor of the circus, a license of $50; but before the municipal body adjourned. Wild Bill stepped up and asked to be heard a moment. Permission having been granted, the town council lit their pipes, passed the bottle, and leaning back In their chairs, composed themselves while Bill expressed himself substantially as follows: "I never made a speech In my life and 1 don't want to begin now, but I never went back on a woman, and I'm gu-Ito give you some plain talk. Tou fellows live so far outside of civilization that your hearts have dried up like small potatoes left out in the sun, and as you can't read the papers of course you don't know nothing about what' on east of the coyote's range. going "This circus that's advertised to chow and furnish a little amusement for us heathens, Is owned by a woman, one whose pluck catches my sympathy every time. Her husband. Bill take, was murdered down In Granby, Missouri, by a cowardly villain, named Jake Killlan, on the 24th of August, 1869. The brave little widow, after burying her husband, had to either sell out or go on the road with the circus, and circumstances advised her to carry the show. My opinion Is that any woman capable to run a circus la a darn sight bigger curiosity In these parts than the leather-heaIn this village ever heard of. and when 1 see so much pluck shown by a woman, I Just feel like throwing In and helping her. "Now, if you fellows that run this town knowed how to appreciate a good thing for the place. Instead of charging Mrs. take a license, you would vote an appropriation to pay her for coming out her to show us heathens a first-clacircus. If I've got any authority In Hays, Mrs. take isn't to a town cent of license for showpay this going ing and if any man attempts to stop this show, then just put It down that he's got me to fight That's all I've got to say now, so drive on, and we'll see who pays the fiddler." When Bill concluded his "talk" the council of four decided to reconsider their action and remit the license, though this was. In the eyes of some, an extraordinary opportunity for starting a town Mra take, learning of Bill's disintertreasury. ested kindness, sent tor him and expressed many thanks, after which she Introduced him to all the members of her troupe. Including her little daughter Emma. After seeing the paraphernalia of the circus and shaking the hands of the performers. Bill turned again to Mrs. take and said: "Well, now. all this Is fine enough, but do you know the greatest curiosity about this canvas Is yourself: I never saw a woman before that could run anything, except with a broom handle, and to find one managing one like this Is a bigger sight than California joe when he was tackled by a panther down In the Wachltas. I used to think that women never amounted to much, outside of being mothers, and I guess 1 wouldn't give them that much credit. If 1 hadn't had one myself, and But I've chnnged my opinion a go'id one, too. now For If I could hitch up with such a business girl as yourself I'd go In search of a parson tomorrow." This language, though full of rather profane metaphors and tempered with phrases little suited for "lutelike lovers lips" nevertheless expressed In homely truths, Bill's real sentiments. For he fell In love with Mrs. take not only on first sight, but even before the meeting; he was caught on the bonk of her reputation. Mra. take, though not fully understanding the somewhat Incoherent address of her determined suitor, yet saw beneath his rough exterior a kind and healing sympathy, and a heart ever brave and willing to protect the weak.

Wild Bill was In Cheyenne. Wyo.. on his way to the Black Hills gold camps when be beard that Mrs. Lake was visiting at the home of a relative, L. S. Moyer. Hlckok Immediately called upon her and then. In the words of Buell: Wild Bill then renewed his suit, and pressed his claim with such persistency that tbe engagement M-- was perfected, and arrangements concluded for the wedding, which It was agreed would take place on the following day. Several Intimate friends of Bill's were surprised to receive Invitations on the morning of March 6th, to witness the wedding ceremonies of J. B.

Of course they all responded, and when the contracting parties stood up It was before an audience numbering about 20 The Rev. W. F.

Going to Cheyenne h? remained there until some time In June when he set out with two of his friends, "Col. Charlie" Utter, and "Bloody At Custer. Calamity Jane attached herself to the party and the four of them made their spectacular entrance Into Deadwood a short time later. So far as Is known the letter which Is preserved In the Cincinnati museum Is the last one which Wild Bill ever wrote to his wife and it Is probably the only one in existence today. Cupt. Jack Crawford, the "I'el Scout." a friend of Wild Bill's, who seems to have hurst forth In poetic eulogy of his formet companion, wrote a poem for the Virginia Evening Chronicle tw days after Will Bill was shot down by .Tuck McCall In the Deadwood saloon. One verse ct that poem Is It reads: Interesting. And now let me show you the good that was In him The letters he wrote to Agnes, his wife. Why, a look or a smile, one kind word could win ur. him, Here part of this letter Wnf Ir W the last of his life: "Agnes darling: If such should be that we never meet again, while firing my lost shot, I will gently breathe the name of my wife my Agnes and with a kind wish, even for my enemies, will wake the plunge and try to swim to the other shors." It may be that this was In Wild Bill s last letter to his wife, as Captain Jack says; thn again a comparison of the phraseology of that svtter with the one reproduced above, leads one to wonder whether or nol the oohle sentiment expressed was an example of Captain Jack's poetic license. The death o. Wild Bill at the hands of Jack McCall Is too well known to need repetition here. Near the marriage license and tie Wild Bill letter In the museum case Is a iremento of that famous tragedy. It Is a long lock of curling brown balr cut from the head of Wild Bill Hickok by "Colorado Charlie" Utter and sent to his widow In Cincinnati These relics of the famous were preserved by Mrs Hlckok until her death In Jersey City, In HH)7.
