Chapter XXXII
THE WESTERN DEAD SHOT. The man who had galloped with that yell right into the crowd was none other than Wild Bill, the Western dead shot. Many of the men there recognized him, and they were sure his sudden dash meant an attempt to rescue Buffalo Bill. Wild Bill reined in his horse so quickly that he threw it back on its haunches. It reared, its pawing front feet making the men there scatter, and when it came down, Wild Bill, with a touch of the spur, drove it to Cody’s side.
