END OF A VIOLENT MAN.
rr,c;e Fate Of Charles e. Hamilton
Reyiyes Old Troubles.
Z. c. Times. 9th

(. c. Times, 9th
The murder OF Charles q. Hamii-
ION of Buckner, near Coweta, l. T.,
has given rise to many rumOrs IN
cast Jackson county as to the motive.
the main being to the effect that
Hamilton was killed not for his
money. but rather in spirit Of ven
roance The mere fact that when
,nurdered and cast into the fire what
little money Hamilton had on his
prson was not molested is sufficient
proof in the opinion of his former
neighbors that robbery was not at
the bottom of the crime. 1t is known
that when Hamilton left home in his
wagon TO go on "a prospecting tour
through the Indian Territory to
Texas he took with him about 800.
He disposed OF his farm near Bucllner
and left considerable money behind.
In fact, gentleman well posted as
10 his financial condition informed a
reporter for the Times that previous
to getting into the trouble that is
cited below he was probably worth
ID the neighborhood OF $50, 900.
The main trouble of the murdered
man, although he is said to have al
vays been quite handy with his gun,
and never unarmed, began one night
ii September, 1898, when he fired
INTO buggy containing John Mar
tin and Mary Charleton, young peo-
pie who reside near Buckner. The
girl was seriously wounded and the
young man slightly. Hamilton was
arrested on the charge of having as
saulted Miss Charleton with intent
to kill. His excuse for the shooting
was that he thought the young peo-
pie We're stealing his buggy. He
served nine months sentence. In
the meantime Miss Charlton having
sued him for $1,000 damages, for
which amount she was afterward Civ
en- Judgment. He was afterward
arrested for an assault upon
John Martin and was out on a bond
Of $1,000 at the time he was killed.
Discussing the case, citizen who
resides in the vicinity of Buckner
said yesterday: "At the time Ham
llton shot those young people he did
so without provocation. He fired
several shots, and only desisted when
Martin implored him to cease, with
the plea that the woman has been |
