Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas- Crawford County May 17, 1890 SETTLING LAND CLAIMS Oklahoma City, May 13.- Frank Ely shot and killed Henry Laborn yesterday afternoon five miles north of here. Ely and W. R. Laborn, Henry's brother, had had a difficulty as to who owned a stone quarry. The brothers had possession at the time. Ely and his brother in law pass the house yesterday afternoon and W. R. Laborn came out and ordered them off his claim. A quarrel followed and Henry came out of the house to quiet the disturbance. He called out to his brother to not shoot, when Ely fired three times, the second bullet entering his breast and causing instant death. Ely fled, but was captured and is now in the guard house at the military camp. Fran Alverson Warren
