[HICKOK, James Butler ?Wild Bill? (1837-1876)]. The Dallas Weekly Herald by J. L. Bartow. Vol. XXIV, No. 47. Dallas, TX, August 18, 1877. 4 folio pages on folded folio sheets. Each page approximately 695 x 544 mm. Toned, edgeworn and chipped with numerous tears, somewhat brittle, one horizontal crease, stab-holes at left margin indicating that this was excised from a book. On p. 1 is a new account of Hickok?s murder: ?Mr. and Mrs. ?Wild Bill.? The murder of W. P. Hickok, known as Wild Bill, a frontiersman, whose fearlessness, skill and manly beauty General Custer had praised in a magazine article, attracted wide attention about a year ago. A Cheyenne correspondent of the World gives this new account of the killing: ?Fate brought him to the same card table with Jack McCall, a gambling sharper. On the last hand McCall bet $10 and lost, and when he came to settle found that he had only $7.50. Bill, remarking, ?You oughtn?t to overbet your pile - that?s no way to play cards,? handed him back $5 to pay for his lodgings and breakfast. Next morning Bill was in a saloon, when McCall came behind him noiselessly, placed the muzzle of his revolver to the back of his head, and killed him."
