The Official Hello Bob Coffee Cup

April 28, 1881

   The Kid was scheduled to hang but it was not to be. Billy Bonney overpowered his guard J.W. Bell (no relation) and—Garrett believes—hobbled to the upstairs armory, jimmied the door and grabbed Robert Olinger's shotgun and hobbled to the east, upstairs window of the Lincoln County Courthouse and waited patiently for his other guard, Deputy Bob Olinger, who was chaperoning the other prisoners during their afternoon meal at the Wortley Hotel across the street. Hearing the shot from the courthouse, Olinger came at a trot across the main road. Coming through the gate in the sideyard, legend says Olinger heard a voice say, "Hello, Bob". Looking up he saw Bill the Kid smiling and holding the deputie's own shotgun.

   The Kid gave Olinger both barrels. And escaped.
