Cheyenne, Nov. 11. - Mike Kehoe, one of the old timers of Roger Mills county, died suddenly last Sunday night. Kehoe had been drinking hard for some time and for the past few days had been constantly under the influence of liquor. Sunday night he took some medicine to conteract (sic) the influence of the whiskey and it is thought that he took an over dose, resulting in his death. Kehoe had tried many times to break away from the use of liquor, but the desire for whiskey was too great for his willpower to overcome.
