Butch Cassidy
Butch Cassidy was the first of 13 children born to the Parkers. He grew up on his parents' ranch in Circleville, UT. Butch's first brush with the law was a petty affair. At the age of about 14, he made a long journey to a clothier's shop in another town only to find the place shut. So, letting himself in, he removed a pair of jeans and left an IOU to the effect that he would pay for it upon his next visit. However, the clothier took down the details which Butch had included in the IOU and reported him. After a stubborn resistance to the resultant charges in court, he was acquitted despite his having broken into the premises. There's more to his life than that, lots of history in the area...
