“Willie Or Billy” Claiborne, A.K.A
OLD WEST STORUES William Floyd “Willie or Billy” Claiborne, a.k.a. “The Kid” Or was his name Calyborne? Clayborn? Or was it Claborn? Or did Billy even know. There are copies of his signature in at least two of these versions. All his trial documents list him as Clayborne. Viola Slaughter, wife of the noted Arizona lawman John Horton Slaughter, knew him well and spelled it as Claibourne. Well, we do know for sure that he was born in Mississippi. Or was it Louisiana? But more than likely it was in Alabama. The 1870 census shows records that would fit all three states. The record for Mississippi spells the name as Claborn, but the census takers were not the best for spelling. But this one seems to best fit the bill for Billy (Photo at right) and it shows that he was born in Alabama. He stated in court that he was born on October 21, 1860, and was from Mississippi. So we accept the date and the fact that he probably meant that he was raised in Mississippi. He migrated to the Devil’s River area of west Texas where some accounts say he killed two men. He became a cowboy and went to work for John Horton Slaughter. He was part of a crew that drove a Slaughter herd of cattle from Texas to Arizona and stayed. On October 1, 1881, in Charleston, Arizona Territory (now a ghost town), he shot and killed a blacksmith named James Hickey at Harry Queen’s Saloon. Exactly why he did it is not known. -

g g OAK KNOLL BOOKS www.oakknoll.com 310 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720 Oak Knoll Books was founded in 1976 by Bob Fleck, a chemical engineer by training, who let his hobby get the best of him. Somehow, making oil refineries more efficient using mathematics and computers paled in comparison to the joy of handling books. Oak Knoll Press, the second part of the business, was established in 1978 as a logical extension of Oak Knoll Books. Today, Oak Knoll Books is a thriving company that maintains an inventory of about 25,000 titles. Our main specialties continue to be books about bibliography, book collecting, book design, book illustration, book selling, bookbinding, bookplates, children’s books, Delaware books, fine press books, forgery, graphic arts, libraries, literary criticism, marbling, papermaking, printing history, publishing, typography & type specimens, and writing & calligraphy — plus books about the history of all of these fields. Oak Knoll Books is a member of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB — about 2,000 dealers in 22 countries) and the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (ABAA — over 450 dealers in the US). Their logos appear on all of our antiquarian catalogues and web pages. These logos mean that we guarantee accurate descriptions and customer satisfaction. Our founder, Bob Fleck, has long been a proponent of the ethical principles embodied by ILAB & the ABAA. He has taken a leadership role in both organizations and is a past president of both the ABAA and ILAB. We are located in the historic colonial town of New Castle (founded 1651), next to the Delaware River and have an open shop for visitors. -

The Wit & Wisdom of Doc Holliday
® Cowboy Action Shooting Stages & Scenarios 26 August 2012 The Wit & Wisdom Of Doc Holliday The Ten CAS Commandments 1. Thou shalt not allow thy muzzle to point at any person! Thou shalt keep thy muzzle pointed downrange when drawing or holstering from a Cross-Draw holster. Thou shalt not sweep thy neighbor, nor thy neighbor's wife, nor thy neighbor's ass (nor any other portion of his anatomy!) Safety! First, Last, and Always. 2. Thou shalt abide by all SASS Safety Rules, and thou shalt have FUN! 3. Protect thine eyes and ears at all times. Spectators shall do the same. 4. Except when shooting, loading, or unloading, thou shalt keep thy pistols holstered. 5. Thou shalt not close the action of thy rifle until thou loadest it at the Load Station. Thou shalt open thy rifle's action immediately after completing the rifle portion of the stage. Thou shalt not close thy shotgun except while holding it in thy hands at the firing line. 6. Suffer not thy gun to fall upon the ground, for a dropped gun is “Dead”. A loaded dropped gun is dead, and shall not rise again this day. Only the Range Officer may retrieve or pick up a dropped gun. NOTE: An empty long gun carefully staged against a barricade, wall, or other prop that subsequently slips and falls shall not result in any penalty. 7. There is no Rule #7. 8. Suffer not thine ammunition to fall upon the ground. Dropped ammo is "Dead", and may only be retrieved by the brass pickers, after the shooter has completed the stage. -
