Deadwood Dick.

day he is an old man, past three score
and ten, for whom life seemingly holds
but little. But even in his present
condition he is not disheartened. AL
though, to use an everyday express
sion, he is down and out" he still
finds something to live for, but his
greatest JOY and pleasure Is in telling
of the days when he was scout with
Custer.
Deadwood Dick has been a familiar
sight in Denver for fifteen years. He
was at one time wealthy, and until
seven years ago he was In comfortable
circumstances. But since that time
he has been eking out an existence
by manufacturing and selling an in
sect powder. The old man was pitt
full sight as he sat in the Jail. He has
long, black hair that almost reaches
to his waist, and this he says is the
pride of his life.

opment At the very beginning of our study
of Copar we find ourselves confronted with a
grave difficulty, namely, the entire absence of
aboriginal tradition concerning the place.
which consequently renders a reconstruction
OF the historical background impossible. In
Ydcatan we were able to piece together some
what of the early history of the principal cities
such as Chichen Itza and Uxmal, from tho &C.
count of native as we'll as Spanish writer's,
many of whom derived their information from
those well acquainted with the former history
of the country. And while this information is
often quite fragmentary, nevertheless it sheds
q very considerable light on the pre-Columbian
history of these two northern sites, and in
measure, at least, dispels that darkness and
pbscurity which so completely enshrouds al
most all the other great centers of the Maya
culture.
Concerning the former history of Copen,
however we know absolutely nothing, except

Unfortunately, the reliability of this tradi-
