A man with a Savage and an airplane could own the world.
Them 303s shoot through telephone pole & kill ya.
"Murder of Mr. Bailey
After slipping across the square he [patrolman Bailey] took up a position behind a telephone pole in front of the hardware establishment. From this stand he fought it out with the desperado until one of the bullets from the Savage rifle [Harris’ weapon] pierced the 12-inch pole and entered Mr. Bailey’s left breast, and the officer sank to the ground dead."
