Frank "Jimmie" Butler

November 24, 1875

Today, some man came to Greenville for a shooting match to challenge whoever thought they could beat him. I did not want to "flaunt' around my love for shooting and how accomplished that I had become since day one, but I went anyways, pushed by mother, and went up to the mysterious stranger. Frank "Jimmie" Butler was his name. He was a part of some group that he and his partner act.... "Butler and Baughmen". Nonetheless, I stepped up, and I could hear every single gasp of surprise, and even Mr. Butler's mouth was wide open in shock. I shrugged it off and after a while, the match began. He lost, I won, 23-21. He said that he had "thrown the match", but I knew what he meant. But later on, he invited me to see one of his acts in Cincinnati, and I accepted. I've never been out of Greenville, so this should turn out to be a bit of a difference.
