"Deputy U.S. Marshal Hunt and City Marshal Berry went out to Denman and Bates mine Sunday afternoon on a booze spilling tour but arrived there too late as the booze agents had got wind of their coming and 'spilled' it in their own way." ========= The Hartshorne Sun, Thursday, January 4, 1906. "Deputy John Hunt brought in from Gowen yesterday one John Johnson, colored, who is charged with disposing of mortgaged property a mule belonging to a man in Checotah and two horses and a mule and wagon mortgaged to a man named Tidwell in Kinta. "He is also wanted at other places for theft of horses." ========= The Hartshorne Sun, Thursday, November 18, 1906. "Poor Marksmen. "Two Men Empty the Contents of Their Shooting Irons No Casualties. "A shooting scrape took place in a pool hall in Haileyville Monday afternoon between a switchman named Ebb Williams and a man named Frank Eames, in which the honors were evenly divided. "One had a double-barrel shotgun loaded with buckshot and the other a six- shooter. Eight shots were fired, but owing to the poor marksmanship of the shootists nobody was injured, except an innocent bystander, who bears a skinned place on his nose from a wild buckshot. "The parties were arrested and taken to South McAlester." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Return to Pittsburg County Archives: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ok/pittsburg/pittsburg.htm
