When it came to putting his "Bang, bang. Your're dead!" Back in those deadly "shootem-up" days when the gunslinger was king, boys handled pisto!s as if they were toys, Like the baseball bat today, the gun, sign, ified the maturing of youth, Wanting his son to "act like a man,"! the father of old days handed gun and belt to the little tyke, telling him "learn to use it." Then in 1836 along came Sam Colt. Up until then, youth had fooled around with single shot models, the only guns in use at that time, dangerous enough in the hands of amateurs, Colt's vision took the form of a gun that would be less cumbersome, kill faster. Since he loved a good fight, Sam went about trying to even up the sides, How he did this was simple. He experimented, Finally the action of a ship's wheel suggested ’ the mechanism, the type of gun he was after, A repeating cylinder ‘pistol! Historically, two models of a cylinder gun were already invented, but one required two hands to trigger it, the other two men, When spun, the ship's wheel never fails to come directly in line with a clutch that can be set to hold it. This bit of knowblueprint into hardware, Sam Colt found no easy task. First carving a wooden model, he then hired a machinist to build a working one. Seeing the second model completed an excited Sam tested it, only to have it explode in his face, Finally in 1836 Colt received a patent on his fifteen-and-a-halfinch Patterson model, a model able to fire five .31 caliber bullets, to hide the trigger until the hammer was cocked, Inventing the gun wasn't even half the battle. And Sam knew it too. He must convince a disbelieving world that it would work, Try hard he did, but to no avail, Congress, the Army, and the Navy all turned his quickfire pistol down, Ready to give up, Sam Colt suddenly found his luck change, Storming into Washington, enough rowdy representatives from the Texas Rangers protested in favor of the Colt gun to cast many doubts aside, Having worn the Colt in a welloiled holster on several occa‘sions, the Rafhgers praised the gun for carrying a lot of "pull." mt Sit nn eer oN ee ht eet A ag ig I Si pete cnt no rc pe bag aly ~ VITAL STATISTICS KLINE--Private cremation services for Joseph Kline were held Oct, 9, who died at his La Barr Meadows home Saturday.

Everyone appeared astounded to hear. of such fire-. power, Thankful for the chain reaction of sales the Rangers started Colt sold them. 100 pistols at cost, approximately at $25 each, Indeed the Rangers had themselves quite a deal, for cowboys later bought these very guns for anywhere up to $200 each, so eager were they to learn the art of gunslinging, To put murder into a man's pocket while swaying low on his hips, the Colt "Peacemaker" hit the scene in 1873, Those unfortunate enough to stand in the six-shogter's way dropped like flies, Sam Colt, you might say, went
down in history as the man who created the role of the gunslinger, ecu An a nae” Banal ae I peee The Nevada County Nugget. ».
