OFFICERS STAGE FIGHT
IN STREET; ONE SHOT
DRUMRIGIIT POLICEMAN KILLED
IN GUNFTGHT THAT STIRRED
THE COMMUNITY.
Is Thought TO Have Resulted From
Fued Between Two Fnctions
of Officers.

After emptying n double barreled
shotgun at T. X. Braugh and NJ. H.
Van Sickle. deputy sheriffs Of Creek
county, as they stood on the main
street of Drumright late Monday eve
ming, Sam Cook. a member of that
towns police force, was shot down
by the men he had sought 70 slay.
The two men, Van Sickle and
Braugh, later went to Sapulpa where
they gave themselves into the hands
of the sheriff under whom they held
commissions as peace officers, and
are row in Jail awaiting Il preliminary
hearing.
The shooting. according to Witness
es, was begun by the dead man when
he stepped into the center of the
street and fired two shots from u
sawed-off shotgun at the two depu-
ties. Braugh is said to have pulled
his revolver and opened fire ON his
assaiG mt. but missed. Cook hiding be-
hind telephone pole whore he re-
losd ded the shotgun.
Realizing the odds in q gun fight
were in favor of the man with the
81 otgun, Van Sickle and Braueh ran
into a hardware store and occurred a
Winchester and ammunition Return
ing to the center Of the street, Braugh
opered fire with the rifle. the first
shot striking Cook Just over the heart
and resulting in instant death.
The trouble. witnesses declare. be
gan several months ago when Cook
was removed from the police force.
Later he was reinstated and his reap
pearance on the force apparently was
in opposition to the wishes of the
deputies.
