Echo (Laurel County, KY) August 1899KILLED-At a late hour last Saturday night at East Bernstadt, this county, Cam Williams shot and instantly killed Charles Jones. Williams was at once arrested by the officers of the law, brought to London and lodged in jail. His examining trial was set for last Tuesday, but when it was called the defendant was not ready and it was continued till next Monday. Williams gives the circumstances of the killing about these: That Jones came to his house claiming to have a warrant for a certain girl who was staying at his house. He told Jones that they were all in bed, that Mrs. Williams was quite sick and that he did not want him to go into the house to arrest the girl until he could go into the house and talk to his wife so that Jones appearance would not disturb or frighten her. This Jones refused to do, but pushed himself in and then shoved Williams out at the door, whereupon he drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in Jones head, killing him instantly. This is Williams statement in substance as we understand it. Jones is dead and his story may never be told.. 5. Hazel changed her name to Pat m. to an Asher, 1st marriage. Her second marriage Kenneth McIntosh. He lives in San Diego California. 6. Violet changed her name to Janet.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wNHBAIB/2900 Message Board Post: Arkansas City Traveler, November 3, 1886. Reported Prairie Fires. Advices from the Indian Territory, the first of last week, were to the effect that destructive prairie fires were sweeping over millions of acres of rich pasture land, the area burnt extending from Vinita on the north to Muscogee on the south, and on both sides of the M. K. & T. Road as far as the eye could see. It was further reported thatt large numbers of cattle were burned to death, and also immense quantities of hay, baled and loose, the destruction of fodder being so complete that cattlemen would be compelled to drive their cattle elsewhere to save them from starvation. This looked gloomy enough for the parties affected, but later word comes from Tahlequah, on the authority of C. S. Shelton, a stockman, who had journeyed to that city by way of Vinita and Muscogee, declaring the story of this extensive prairie fire all a hoax. He says only small burns have been made, and those in the vast expanse of pasture that meets the eye are hardly discernible. Mr. Shelton reports plenty of grass on the range, and that cattle will go into winter with better prospects for grass and more of it this winter than for years.
