Life and marvelous adventures of Wild Bill, the scout .. . ll was essentially great in many re-spects and callings. He was undoubtedly the great-est scout and conservator of the peace that evercrossed the plains; as a spy and strategist he has,perhaps, never had an equal. The service he hasrendered the country at large, and the West in par-ticular, cannot be estimated. Abilene and HaysCity, the people of which places he served so effec-tively, cannot afford to withhold their respect for thememory of Wild Bill, and it would be as creditableto the people of Kansas as it would be deserving tothe brave heart that was stilled by the assassins bul-let, to bring the remains of Wild Bill into their stateand give it a resting place among the most illustriousof their dead. If ever a hero deserved a monument,Wild Bill is worthy a shaft that would rear ts apexso high as to overlook every spot of territory be-tween the great Missouri and the Rocky was his home and first-love; will the peopleof Kansas make the state his sepulchre ? ?•^.
