Charley Samuel recalls, "I was raised up with Jim. They were
living over on Kings River way back yonder when I was a kid
and I went over there to stay all night with him one night. We
always ran around together when they lived there at Clifty.
We went hunting that night. There were some pretty wooley
looking hollers over there, you know. The hollers were deep
and we were going down some old deep canyon-I forget what
he called it, but he told me what it was. He knew them all. We
saw something white- I saw it- it was just as plain as it could
be and then he saw it. He was carrying the gun-he had an old
shotgun cause we thought if we treed a coon, we would kill it,
you know. Well, he looked at that thing and it didn't look like
what it was and he was ready to pull the trigger when a bell
kinda rung-it was an old white cow and she had moved her
head. We sure thought it was a varmit!"
