LONG IDOL or SMALL BOZ
Famous "Deadwood Dick" Lived and
Died In Full Appreciation Of His
Great Popularity.

Deadwood Dick is dead. His real
name was Richard Bullock, and he
died most conventionally at an age Of
seventy-fve years in a hospital at
Glendale. Cal.
Deadwood Dick should have been
the happiest Of men. Few men can
pass twilight years illumined by the
glow of their past. Few men are
privileged to read heroic lies about
themselves which are founded on a
modicum of truth. Achilles never
read the "Aeneid" Satan never read
paradise Lost" unless he had pc
rused it since Millions day by the f1tful
flames of his plutonic abode. Sieg-
fried never scanned the "Nlbelung-
lied" The greatest heroes Of the
greatest lies by the greatest liars have
met their end believing they would be
unhonored and unsung by posterity.
Not so with Deadwood Dick. His
saga was at his elbow these several
decades. All he had to do was to
take down one Of the volumes over
which the boys Of a generation or two
ago pored to realize what a great man
he had not been. And all the time
he had the consciousness that he real
ly had passed wonderful days on
mountain and plain, hauling gold by
