He was killed in August, 1876, in Deadwood.
"In the summer of 1876 I was Chief of Scouts under General Carr, afterward with General Crook and General Terry.
"On the 17th of July I killed Yellow Hand, a noted Cheyenne chief, and took the first scalp for Custer.

I returned to the stage in October, 1876, and during the season of 1876 and 1879 I cleared $38,000.

I have generally been successful financially on the stage.

I am now in the cattle business in Nebraska, to which place I will return as soon as the season is over, providing nothing serious occurs to call me home earlier.".
