By heaven, man, we are turned ’round and ’round in this world, and Fate is the handspike. Who’s to doom, when the judge himself is dragged to the bar?” HERMAN MELVILLE’S AHAB Big Jim West’s dead who used to love playing cops and robbers in Houston with his fleet of Cadillacs equipped with riot guns, pistols, and two-way radios. He had a lot of money. His father left him some. He made a whole lot in oil-cotton-timberbanks-cattle, things like that. He liked to play cowboy, too. When he did, he was shod in boots with his initials engraved on them. And a cowboy shirt trimmed with gold. And the collars edged with platinum. And two pistols, gold-crusted, in hol. sters hung with jewels. And fistfulls of silver dollars in. his jeans. He surely was fond of those cartwheels. He used to give ’em away 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-15-20-25 just like that. It got so they called him “Silver Dollar” West. He liked the name. But once when a magazine kidded him he got mad and stuffed his pockets with peanuts instead of round dollars. Once when playing cop, he and a Houston policeman set out to trap a burglar. The policeman was wounded in. the fussin the shoulder by a shotgun blast, in the foot by a pistol slug. The burglar, when they’d caught him which they didwasn’t armed. Cops were fond of Jim West. He worked with their associations and gave them awards. Texas Ranger Eddie Oliver said Jim “was a good man . . . who’d do anything for an officer who was on the square,” and “the girls at the switchboard cried when the news came in Jim was dead.” Jim didn’t trust anybody but LEGALS NOTICE OF INTENTION TO INCORPORATE TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Notice is hereby given that Dean E.

When he ate out he always brought along his own butter, churned at his own farm. For a year he had lived in a room on the fifth floor of a Houston hospital. It was a $35-a-day room. Its windows were hung with damask drapes. The furniture was modern in silver-gray. The carpet was rose plush. There was a sign on. the door; really two signs: “Absolutely no visitors under any conditions by anyone; by doctor’s orders.” “Do not open this door without knocking; and be sure you do not ever knock on it. Patient very sick.” He was born in San Antonio. He moved to Houston in 1905. He went to school at South western in Georgetown. He went to law school at the University of Texas. He was trustee of a charitable foundation set up by his parents. Other people worked days, but he liked to work nights. He liked to work as much as he liked to play.
