Remarkable tale of a Mexican railworker and a bandit fight
A long fragmentary recollection tells of Richard Delong known as Long Dick, a Mexican Central railroad carpenter. After a train hold up, he killed a bandit with a head blow, was shot by the bandit's revolver, survived a back bullet, recovered in the Taleroma region, became a cowboy, dueled two men over a brooch scheme, and finally died after a horse accident. The tale blends frontier bravado with improbable survival and ends amid garbled dialogue and shifting names.
