Hayes, He acquired the name "Climax Jim" when going on a roundup for a month, he laid in a supply of twelve pounds of Climax chewing tobacco to last him through the time period. Climax Jim went on to become a horse and cattle rustler, an escapologist, and an all-around rascal.

He went on to become Arizona's most famous rustling cowboy. As new, without dust jacket as issued.
