SEIDL caption: THE FASTEST GUN — With a steady hand on the cash box at his sidewalk display of merchandise and another equally steady hand resting on his trusty six-gun strapped to his side is C.R. (Bill) Wilson, who claimed he was “a-lookin over his cattle on the south range," when this picture was taken during Thursday's Ridiculous Day activities. Bill won third prize in judging on individual costumes worn by merchants in the afternoon parade. First prize winner was Vernon Wilson with Cathleen Godfrey taking second place. — Journal photo by Bob Elliott
