Hear about his witty exploits, his Illinois roots, and the reason behind his nickname, 'Buster'. Then, we shift gears to a hilarious, yet heartwarming anecdote of Mayor Kelly and his pet bear, Patty. Learn about Patty's disastrous hotel adventure, and how it led to a rather unconventional community feast on Christmas.The wild west wasn't all laughs though. Sit tight as we narrate a nerve-wracking encounter with a man dressed in a black duster, wielding a bloodied revolver, and the quick-witted actions that saved the day.
