There are many versions of this story as over time things have been left out or added as the tale was passed on, but the one that seems to be the more 'agreeded upon' version is that he had been playing cards in this place for a few days. The day before he managed to win a lot of money from one person in particular who was not too pleased about this (I heard somewhere that this guy was something of a big time player locally, obviously not as good as Bill lol). The next Bill was playing and the guy obviously PO'd about the previous day came back and shot Bill in the back during a hand.
The question I always wanted to know was, 'What did the others in the pot have?' and 'If the hand had played out would Bill have won the hand?'
I think like any legend and story that is fairly order the exact details will not be known, and there will be slight differences in the stories.
