He had buried his first and only child a few days before. The next day, Saturday, August 28, 1897, he was himself a corpse. It appears that for some time there has been a bad feeling between Kellum and a man named Dave Cullins. On Saturday evening they met in a wagon yard in Mangum, Greer County. From the accounts received here Kellum, on seeing Cullins, drew his gun, at the same time remarking: "Now I have got you." Cullins ran, jumped a fence and got into a stall, with Kellum at his heel. Unable to go furher, Cullins drew his gun and faced his pursuer. Two shots rang out and Kellum fell dead. There are conflicting rumors as to the name of the man who did the killing. Some say his name was Will Fullerton, but Cullins is probably correct, as a man by that name is known to live in Mangum. LATER--Fullerton is the name of the man who did the killing.
