MR. WILLIAMS SIDES WITH LAW AND ORDER
He fell away from the crowd and supported Bird for sheriff from the new
faction. He rounded up the cowboys, knew them all for Bird, and as he
said, "the salon gang." Bird was elected, served one term. He
was a good man and a pretty good sheriff. (My father served briefly under
him and I have his picture, hearty looking man, with flowing moustache,
big watch fob, etc.) He was living in Dallas two or three years before
this.
[W. R. Byrd, was sheriff from
1890-1892.--Elreeta Weathers]
