Biographie

Il meurt d'une balle dans l'aine, à la suite d'une dispute pour 50 $ relative à son nouveau travail de guide, au sujet d'un chien de chasse qu'il a entraîné, perdu et récupéré contre récompense ; se voyant refuser le remboursement des frais qu'il réclame à son client, Switzer engage avec lui une lutte qu'il interrompt après avoir détourné un premier tir blessant le beau-fils de l'homme, mais alors qu'il s'apprêtait à rebrousser chemin, essuie un second coup de feu, qui lui est fatal.
La justice déterminera que le coup de feu mortel a été donné en légitime défense, citant la présence d'un couteau dans la main de Switzer.

When the two tough guys try to muscle in on the club, Wilbur surprises everyone by proving himself to be the best bare-knuckle fighter on the block.

Again concocting an elaborate hooky-playing scheme, Spanky places a block of ice on the chest of his pal Alfalfa, who spent the night with him at his house. The strategy this time is to convince their mothers that Alfalfa has a bad cold or the flu, and that Spanky must remain by his side to nurse him back to health. In fact, the boys plan to go fishing the moment their mothers' backs are turned—and the scheme might have worked, had Buckwheat and Porky not spilled the beans to Spanky's mother.
