Brushy possibly recognized in Montana?

[MissyS]

On page 134; of The Lost Interviews book, by W.C. Jameson. Morrison asked Brushy if he was ever recognized? Brushy answered, Yes that he was accused of being Billy the Kid from Montana to Missouri. Interestingly I stumbled across a news story  from an 1883 Liberty Tribune about an incident that happened in Weeksville Montana. Billy the Kid being apprehended and was fired on by Vigilantes while he escaped running to a river. Brushy didn’t mention when it was that he was recognized in Montana, so I don’t know if this could have been in 1883 or not? Could this possibly have been Brushy? or another Billy the Kid?
