(28 Jun 1906, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK): Mr. Niece, formerly of Elk was shot and killed last week at Guymon, by a man named Booth, and was shipped to Foss for burial last Sunday. It is reported that Niece kept a rooming house at Guymon, but most of his time was spent on the road selling fruit trees. In his absence, Mr. Booth, who roomed at the house, won the affections of Mrs. Niece, and on the return of Niece he found them living together. Niece procured a .45 and went to the room where they were with the intention of killing Mrs. Niece, so he stated before he died. Booth met him at the door and they both shot. Niece was hit once and died in a few hours. Booth was hit twice and the doctors say he cannot live. "And woman caused it all." --------------------------------------------------- Return to Beckham County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/beckham/beckham.html
