Mojave Desert News; 27 Jan 1949

RANDSBURG-Word received during the week of the death John L. Pullen, in a 
Bakersfield Hospital, was sadly passed around, for "Arrowhead Jack" as Pullen 
was called because of the hundreds of arrowheads he carved from the famous 
Obsidian deposits over Little Lake way had become a character in the desert 
districts. Some of the arrowheads were so small that ten of them could easily be 
placed on a penny. The larger spear heads were hung in the Desert Museum in the 
collection owned by the late Kent Knowlton.
Mr. Pullen had resided in the Rand district at intervals over a twenty year span, 
and will be missed by the old timers. He was buried in Long Beach.
