    Wild Bill was indulging in his favorite pastime of a friendly game of cards in the old No. 10 saloon. For the second time in his career, he was sitting with his back to an open door.

Wild Bill’s dead hand held aces and eights, and from that time on this has been known in the West as “the dead man’s hand.”
