tant, perversely obstinant in the way that only Butte can be, Bobby
bought another bike as soon as he could and took to racing the po-
lice around the town, popping wheelies and raising hell.
On one of his run-ins with the cops, he was jailed next to
the notorious criminal William "Awful" Knofel, suspected at
one time of the murder of the 80-year-old Butte laundry owner
named Quong On. The cops knew Knofel, as they knew Bobby.
They liked Bobby only slightly better than Knofel, whom they'd
nicknamed Awful.
"Well, what do you know," one of the cops said that night, a
grin on his face.
"We've got Awful Knofel, and Evil Knievel! How do you like
that?"
In the end, Bobby liked it well enough. It sounded legendary.
