Oklahoma Times ournel: The colored
man shot by the deputy marshal on the
train near Ardmore was Lewis Kimball,
hard working man of Dallas, Texas.
Since the killing, it is the general impress
sion that the marshals were wholly to
blame in the affair.
The only solution OF the affair can be
temporary insanity. for on searching the
house about $1,000 in money and drafts
was found. The neighbors aver that the
old man has been especially kind to his
wife of recent months. The two little
girls, aged IA and 8, say that no trouble
had occurred between them.

friends in the territory and in Kansas
who deeply sympathize with him in his
bereavement.
