5 Indians in self defence (behind a very safe rock).
One man who bit me during a robbery.
Brady, Hindman, Beckwith, Joe Clark,
Deputy Jim Carlyle, Deputy Sheriff J.W. Bell.
And Bob Ollinger. A rabid cat
birds during practice,
These are the killed.
(By them) --
Charlie, Tom O'Folliard

and Pat Garrett
sliced off my head.
Blood a necklace on me all my life."
