MULHALL, Okla., Sept. 20.-
On the ranch plot he homesteaded here 42 years ago in the realization of a youthful dream,
Col. Zack Mulhall, pioneer ranchman and showman, was buried this afternoon in the presence of 5,000
Oklahomans from all walks of life.
Simple Catholic funeral services marked the final rites of the man whose life typified the Southwestern
trail-blazer of the last century.
The Rev. F. V. Van Mens, Guthrie, was in charge of the services, held in the old farm house, sequestered among
trees planted by Col. Mulhall himself and past which a brook meanders through the oak-studded red soil
that attracted thousands of adventurers to a new land when the old Oklahoma Territory was opened to white settlemen
in the last part of the past century.
