And svhenever you hear anyone talk about Butch Cassidy you know you're going to get embellishments of some sort or someone's hearsay version of Butch and the Sundance Kid, Like what happened to me when I stood with my back : against a warming campfire on the Boulder Mountain not lorg ago. Kids from Wayne School District's fifth and sixth grades wanted to hear some lore stories, And who could tell it better than a city slicker who had read half a hundred books on it and who had gone over many old trails with people who thought they knew something about outlawry. So I told what I "knew" about Butch and his Bunch.' - , , is Pe United Press International The Oakland A's and Boston Red Sox have picked up right where they left off at the break, putting the pressure on their division rivals in the American League. world champion As pick The three-tim- e ed up ground on both their closest rivals in the Western Division, while the Red Sox gained a full game on their second-plac- e rivals in the Eastern Division.

Just happened to be in the outdoor session one of Charlie Gibbons great grandsons, who had been eating and sleeping that Robber's Roost stuff for 4 generations. And bless those Hanksville folk they know their lore as well as anyone. For instance. Edna Ekker Robinson who knew some of the Wild Bunch, had a birthday party in Hanksville recently and all of het 12 children were there. When I told my versions of the Wild Bunch and the story was carried bakk to Barbara Ekker, the lad's mother, who is a reputable historian. Barbara immediately sent me Lula Betenson's book on Lula's brother, Butch Cassidy. and hinted I should get my facts straight. I could keep the book for $P.30 (it's price, plus tax) or read it and return it. I've read it I will keep it and pay for it. And be in Barbara's debt for it When Robert Redford aid Paul Newman made the cinema about Butch I was invited to the Provo premiere, It which time I asked Mr s. neteesen eleaet her claim Butch came back and lived until 1937 and that he was not killed m South America as the Pinkerton's etamed. She said to wait for her book. I like Mrs. Betenson's rehtrt about her, brother's coming back and she has it well doeumented; and would make The Betenson version is romantic a good movie. About Butch's prime outlaw days there are better versions than Lula's. Newspapers were filled with reports. These news files are available today. ' Lula's association with Butch was nil. She was kissed brother when he on her infant cheek by her left Circleville. Next time they met is when he allegedly returned home in 1025, when she said Butch walked in on the Circleville homestead to everyone's surprise. Once Butch's father saw Butch before he went to wanted his son to go home and work the farm. robbing That waa about the only contact with the family during his "hot" years. In fact, according to Lula, little was said around Circleville about the robberies. The family was insulated, ' against reports of the day. How then, could Lula's report be the most accurate one? No way! ! races. . 2-- 2 : - It took a pitcher with a blistering fastball to finally put the collar on the Cincinnati Reds.

Nor is Lula's treatment of her brother as a Robin Hood acceptable. She stressed in every chapter how he' robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Were those rich people who lingered around the Castle Gate payhouse waiting for their checks so they could buy grub for the familyes, after working weeks in the coal mines? When Butch and Elza Lay snatched their moneyyand ran, was that an act of charity? Did the posses which followed them for days, at the risk of their lives, find charity in it? How often Lula repeated there were no niches in the , Cassidy gun stocks, who could But did the clerk in the Winnemucca bank, feel the hard steel of Butch 's rifle against his heart, know. there were no niches in the gun stock? I'd like to think Butch came home, went straight. But what good was his coming? As Lula documents it by letters and other recorded hearsay, and old talk, he was seen looking for his old loot, caches he made in his running days. And the author hinted she would never have gotten into the Butch Cassidy return story except the story was being exploited and the family was entitled to a piete of the action.
