HECK BRUNEg, the fear less deputy U. $. Marshal who did so much to stamp out lawless- ness in the Indian Territory, is reported to have been killed recently near Bowling Ferry by whiskey peddler He former ly resided at Siloam, Springs but has been making his home at Vinita, l. T., where he leaves a family One of Burners most daring deeds was in con. nection with the destruction of the notorious desperado, Ned Christy. Christy had been surrounded in a cabin in the Territory but refused to surren- der, holding the officers at bay with q Winchester. Breast works were constructed of logs and placed on the hind wheels ofa wagon. Pushing this crude affair before him Bruner went to the house and placed under the corner stick of dynamite. He had barely time to retreat when an awful explosion fol lowed, blowing the house to atoms and killing Christy. It doesn't seem in accordance with the eternal fitness of things for brave man like Bruner to meet death at the hands of a sneaking whlskey peddler.
