In 1916 Bee Ho gave a Colt revolver to a Mr. George Hubert. The gun has an inscription that reads "1916 From Be-Ho Gray to George Hubert". The gun was shipped from Colt to Van Lengerke and Antoine (a department store in Chicago) on March 30,1911 and was originally engraved at the Colt factory. The man who sent me the photo below said he acquired it from a distant relative of George Hubert. After several months of trying to figure out who Bee Ho presented the gun to, I found out who Hubert is. He is listed as one of the 101 Ranch performers along with Weaver Gray (Bee Ho's brother) in documents on file at the Kansas City Public Library.

It's interesting to notice that the inscription says "Be-Ho Gray" instead of "Bee Ho Gray". Many newspapers and playbills spelled his name wrong throughout the years. For that reason, Bee Ho appears under a long list of similar names in publications from the early 1900s.

The gun was most likely given to George Hubert when he and Bee Ho departed from the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch at the end of the show's first "life". The show took an eight-year hiatus that began shortly after the United States joined World War I (1917-1924).
