  Speaker 2: uh wild Bill Hickock and uh me and him and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Jack McCall. Uh they came and uh and uh Charles Rich.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: They uh, they wanted to strike strike up, and he
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: wanted to after his US martial days sheriff and et cetera.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You know, he wanted to wind down. You know, his
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: health wasn't that too good. Eyesight was deteriorating. You know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he's been you know, taking a toll on his body
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: for quite a while. Well, you end up going to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: dead Wood and as he was going to local saloon.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: And it was the the slew.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Number ten, which you know he had he always sat behind,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you know, his chair was always his back was always
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: toward the wall because he is always afraid that you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: somebody would you no, you know, backshoot him. Well, this
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: day his worst fears came true. On August first, eighteen
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: seventy six, Kcock was playing poker at the natural Man's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: as Slow number ten. And when you see that there
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: was his usual seat was occupied by a person and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: there was only one.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Open seat, but the seat was.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Showing his back towards the door. Well, this person who
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: he played one or their previous day, who had lost
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: his money too and pretty much made a fool of him,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: was the name of Jack McCall. Well, he you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: he was drunk and uh he sat down to play,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and then they lost heavily and encouraged a called quick
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: game with the game until he could recover his losses
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and offered him money for breakfast. Although the called accepted
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the money, he uh he took sold well. The next
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: day when Nickock went in to play, the door of
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the chair was took in like I said before, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: he asked twice to ask the other man at the table,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Charles Rich, to change.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Seats, but Rich refused.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Well as they were playing, McCall and entered the saloon.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: As Bill was playing his deck or as his cards,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: he walked up behind the Hickock to his Colt Model
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: eighteen seventy three single action Army forty five kelper revolver
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and identified or. He came behind him and told him
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: take that, and he shot Hiccock right back in the head. Well,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I merged through the right cheek and stuck into Messi's
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: left wrist, and whoever was traveling through he would he
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: was killed while in Deadwood. And the cards that Hitcock
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: always had was basically the old dead man's hand, the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: aces and eights, you know, the two aces and two eights,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know then Jack McColl was uh uh
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you know, arrested, tried for murder. He got it quitted twice,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: but then he got there he ended up again again
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: and he was found guilty and they hung them, you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: somewhere down the road. But Hitcock was buried in uh
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: dead Would And so they had that one that a
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: lot of people have seen that monument, and they put
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: a gate around it, and I think they put some
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: security back because people are still knocking the gate down
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and taking chunks out of the h out of the headstone.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But I think they had actually replaced the the monument
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: and replaced the bust and of his likeness and everything else.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And uh, there's also another person that as you go
• 10:05
