Old Times in East Tennessee Relate Deadly Sheriff Plot

Williams aided by a Boonville woman shot three men, revealing her husband the sheriff planned the robbery and died, while Williams perished later on Red River Texas. The tale ends with a comic aside from a New York seaside encounter and brief jokes from Chicago Evening Journal.
