Whisky and open booze Joints are res
ponsible for the latest tragedy.
The Hughes brothers, who live about
one mile east Of Checotah, and who when
drinking are considered very dangerous
and hard to handle came to Checotah
Saturday and spent the major portion Of
the day in booze joints that for some
time have been disgrace to the city. As
niaht came on the two boys became very
auarrelsome and City Marshal Price, who
has known them for years, was called IN
10 quite them. After parleying with them
for some time he induced them TO 90

their way to a notorious resort and we're
having a big time when Price was again
appealed TO. He placed the two brothers
under arrest and started with them TO
the city jail. When the trio arrived in
front of James Faulkners drug store,
Lune refused TO 60 any further and pull
ing his knife from a pocket he made a
fierce lunee at the marshall. The blade
of the knife struck Price on the lip cut
ting it clear through to the teeth.
Price pulled his gun and backing up
against the drug store he warned the boy
TO stand back. Lune, who was acting
like demon, refused TO do so, but came
after the officer when the latter began
shooting. The first bullet struck Lune in
the stomach. passing completely through
the body and coming out on the right side.
He fell 70 the ground mortally wounded,
whereupon Amos. the other brother, took
up the fight. He started for the Officer
and the latter turned his gun and fired
the second time. The ball struck Amos
on the the right arm passing through IT,
then penetrated his side and lodged in
his hip.
Both brothers were taken TO hotel and
s,hysicians and surgeons summonedto at
tend them. Amos who was apparently
the least wounded of the two, was oper-
ated upon and the bullet removed from
his hip. lie had received his death
wound, howeverfor shortly after the oper-
alton he sank into eomatose condition
and died at II O'Clock yesterday morning
Lune is lowering between life and deatf
with the chances against him,
The news Of the shooting attracted a
world of attention in Mcintosh count,
and Sunday afternoon handred Of the
Hughes brothers relatives and friends
came to Checotah. They were all in al
ugly humor and yesterday when Amos
died they began threatening and arc
swearing vengeance.
Marshall Price enjoys the best Of repu
tation and stands well in his community
One Of the Hughes boys is married, bu
