Thumbnail copy photo, 1’ x 1”, likely copied from a cabinet card photo. Williams is chest-up, suit and tie. William Walters, also known as "Bronco Bill" (1869 - 1933?) was an outlaw during the closing days of the Old West. He is best known for the legend of his "lost treasure", allegedly located in the area of Solomonville, Arizona. Between 1894 and 1897, Walters robbed an undetermined amount of cash from shipments, committing several murders in the process. The amounts he is believed to have stolen in legend are in all likelihood exaggerated. However, as the legend goes, Walters began hiding his loot in a secret location around Solomonville, near where he and his gang had their hideout. In July 1898, after a failed robbery attempt in Grants, New Mexico lawman George Scarborough, tracked down then shot and captured Walters. Walters was convicted of his crimes, and sentenced to life in prison. Wells Fargo never recovered the stolen loot.
