Coverage in The Cheyenne Sunbeam of July 4, 1902, states: "Sheriff Bullard was lying dead with 11 bullet wounds in his body andholding his sixshooter in his hand, from which two shots had been fired. Four of the wounds entered from the back, six from the front one ranging downward from the head. His deputy received one shot only and that from the back. He was evidently sitting on the wagon tongue when he received this shot which proved immediately fatal, he not having time to use his gun before expiring." The Sheriff was interred in the Cheyenne Cemetery, Cheyenne, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. Mr. Bullard was born August 12, 1867 and died May 30, 1902.
