Will James's father was a cowpuncher. When Will was a little shaver his mother died and soon afterward his father was gored to death by a steer. Orphan Will was taken over by a friend of his father, a Frenchman named Beaupré. From "Bopy" the boy learned all about how to live in the open: to hunt, trap, ride, cook. One morning, when Will was a boy in his 'teens, he woke to find the camp fire almost out, and no Bopy in sight. They were camped near a river, and in the river the boy found their battered...

"Eighteen years afterward, the man died," declared Inventor Edison, "but before they could bury him his liver had got so strong they had to kill it with a club...

This News picture looked exactly like the pose given the A. P. It bore no credit line. A few hours afterward the Mirror, American, Journal and Graphic were on the streets, each flaunting a front-page picture apparently identical to the one in the News. The four papers quoted no source, but one way of obtaining the picture would have been to photograph the front-page of the News...
