Cool - that's about Santa, Hardluck.
I found this article and drawing of his home in the Ft Worth Texas Gazette.
THE DEATH OF SANTA CLAUS
It Was Followed by a Fierce Rush to
Find His Hoard
Frank Gallego better known as Old
Santa Claus died recently at his solitary
shanty on Telegraph hill San Francisco
and since then the people of the neighbor
hood have been hunting for his buried
treasure Somehow the story got abroad
that Gallego died wealthy and that a rich
hoard lay concealed somewhere in the
sand about his cabin So far however
nothing has been found
WHERE GALLEGO LIVED
The cabin stands on the verge of a cliff
and to it the owner never admitted any
one He got the name of Santa Claus
years ago because of his love for children
He worked as a stevedore and with his
savings bought circus and fair tickets for
the little ones and various presents balls
and bats for the boys and dolls for the
girls Whenever one of his favorites fell
ill he kept the sick room beautiful with
fresh flowers One Sunday morning the
children failed to see him and told their
parents who broke down the gate to the
high fence forced the door and discovered
poor Santa Claus seated in a rocking chair
dead with a half filled cup of water in his
hand Then everybody made a frantic
but futile rush to find the old mans gold
