MOTEN KILLS BOLEN In the Bellfont neighborhood, last Friday evening, the news spread like wildfire, of the shooting in which Lige Morton shot and killed a Mr. Bolen, whose christian name we are unable to ascertain. Rumor has it that Bolen and Andy Gardenhire passed the home of Moten and when they were opposite the house, pulled a gun and fired a couple shots, put spurs in their horses and were soon out of sight. Moten caught his horse and started in pursuit of the two men and after overtaking them told the two, Balen and Gardenhire, to put up their hands, which Gardenhire did but Bolen refused, and attempted to draw his gun, when Moton pulled the trigger which sent a bullet through Bolen’s heart. Moton, in his determination to arrest the two, after he had killed Bolen left him lay and kept Gardenhire under arrest. It is said that both Gardenhire and Bolen were drinking and had been disturbing the peace and quiet in the neighborhood prior to that date. Lige Moton is a man of family and is about 32 years of age. Bolen and Gardenhire, it is understood, are single men and are about 23 years of age. Sheriff Gay went immediately to the scene of the tragedy and brought both Moton and Gardenhire to Sallisaw where they are now in jail to await a preliminary hearing which in all probability will be held at Muldrow before Justice of the Peach C C Watts of that district, some time the latter part of this week. The shooting was done with a 38 Smith & Wesson which is now in the care of the sheriff. Fran Alverson Warren e-mail: alverson@valuelinx.net 479-369-2703 http://www.crawfordcountyarkansas.net/

March 31, 1916 HOSPITAL FOR VIAN It was made known Wednesday evening that Vian is to have a hospital, the first in Sequoyah County. Doctors W M Hunter and Cecil Bryan have purchased the Sequoyah Hotel property on the south side of the Iron Mountain railway, and will as soon as they can conveniently, convert it into a modern hospital. Sequoyah County has never had an institution of this kind, but the practice of Drs. Hunter and Bryan has for the past year or so increased to such an extent that it has almost become an necessity for them to maintain an institution of this kind, and expect to have the building ready for occupancy within the next two or three months. Dr. Hunter, the senior member of the firm, needs no introduction to the people of Sequoyah County and adjoining territory, as he has been in Vian in the practice of his profession for the past nineteen years and has been most successful. Dr. Bryan is one of the best and most favorably known young doctors in the county being the son of Dr. W T Bryan of this city who has practiced medicine in and around Vian for the past twenty years. As the plans develop the Press will keep its readers informed on this much needed institution which will prove a boon to many a poor sufferer who can ill afford to leave the county for treatment.

Hello everyone! It's been a while! FIDDLER WOUNDED AT COUNTRY DANCE Muskogee, March 11.- A D Archer, a middle-aged fisherman who lives on the banks of the Arkansas River near the Bluff, this county, is in the Baptist Hospital, shot five times, his condition very critical, and officers are searching for Willard Fields, a young Cherokee Indian nicknamed "Bullet", who has been missing since the shooting. The trouble occurred about 2 o’clock yesterday morning at a dance in the home of Robert Collins, a farmer. According to those present Fields attempted to prevent anyone from leaving the house, stood in front of a farmer and his wife and commanded them to keep on dancing, and that Archer, who was the fiddler, attempted to act as a peacemaker. Archer was brought into Muskogee very weak from the loss of blood. His is shot through the nose and four times in the breast. Physicians said they could not determine whether or not he will live. Archer is declared to have made the statement that after Fields shot him, he went into another room, obtained a shot gun and, himself, fired at his assailant. A deputy sheriff from Braggs, who was sent to the Fields’ home yesterday, reported that the man was not there and that one of his horses and a saddle were also missing. SKELETON OF UNKNOWN MAN FOUND Sequoyah County Democrat E N Milliken, a farmer living 9 miles west of this city, while breaking land in a field on Drake Prairie, found the body of a man, who from all appearances, had been dead for about four or five months. The field had been burned over in preparing for cultivation, and the fire had destroyed the clothing of the deceased, except the shoes and hat. We understand that those articles have been identified as belonging to a J W Watson, who worked for Tom Morris in this neighborhood last fall. A silver dollar and a knife were also found beside the body. Watson was known to have had one silver dollar when he left the Morris home, and the knife, which was open when found, is supposed to have been the instrument of death used by the unfortunate man in destroying his life. He was of a morse disposition and had talked of suicide to the Morris family, and although he left their house with the expressed purpose of going to Colorado, it is surmised that he decided upon self destruction and we! nt to this remote field to commit the deed. Sheriff Gay left for the scene as soon as notified and made a thorough investigation, and the following day Undersheriff Goodale and County Attorney J B Allen made an investigation and interrogated a number of people living in that neighborhood. The officers believe that it was a case of suicide but they are going into the matter thoroughly and making a rigid investigation. A brother of J W Watson who lives at Gore, has been notified and will come here to identify the body. The condition of the remains is such that a positive identification would be impossible, except for a peculiar formation of the lower teeth, and it is thought that anyone who had known him intimately would be able to identify him on account of this peculiarity. The body is now being held by county officials for identification and will be buried as soon as the investigation is completed.
