Foliart at Keota, Okla., was sadly halted when Dee Foliart, 28, El Reno High School instructor, succumbed to a gun shot wound at the El Reno Sanitarium at 10:15 o'clock Wednesday night. He had been shot Wednesday noon when he entered the First National Bank to deposit his salary check while an attempted holdup was in progress. Death came before his father arrived at 11 o'clock last night. A wire was sent to Dee's mother, who was visiting in Missouri, following the accident Wednesday, but was relayed to Iowa where she had gone. Details of the accident were wired to her at Kansas City and was delivered to the young man's mother at the Union station. Mrs. Foliart wired back and said "Going to Keota, Thanks for your services. Ona Foliart". The body is to be taken to Keota for the funeral services. He is survived by his parents and a brother, John, who arrived in El Reno from Amarillo, Texas about 2 o'clock Thursday morning. He also has a sister living in California and one living in Texas. News of the death of the popular high school assistant coach threw a dark cloud over the entire city as he had made a host of friends, during his short residence here, among the high school students and the business men and citizens of the city. He was only an innocent customer of the First National Bank who was entering the building to deposit a warrant when the bandit opened fire.
