other characters of that day and

This Is tentatively the ending of the
history of the single tragedy that
gave to "Boot Hill" Its greatest In-
crease and notoriety.
The moe quiet citizens of the
community have established another
cemetery which while not possess-
ed perhapa of the wild fascinating
interest of "Boot Hill" contains the
ashes of noblemen and heroes of true
and lovable women whoae lives
would hare adorned any people with
whom their lot might have been cast.
Finally among those whose hands
have assisted In the shaping of the
present are Mickey McCormlck and
Sldro flordorner the latter a 'Mex-
ican rancher and tha former a liv-
eryman In the ' pnlmy days of the
