DOUBLE KILLING IN
CLEVELAND COUNTY.
Last Monday afternoon a tele-
phone message was received by
Sheriff Pickard informing him
that a woman was found dead
in the yard at her home about
11 miles northeast of Norman.
The woman was Mrs. Rose Stan- opening of fin-
ley, formerly Mrs. Rose Bough- j farm with her family
investigating the premises. It
was a sad affair indeed and one
deeply to be regretted. Little is
known about Stanley other than
that he came from Chicago and
seemed to be a man of good edu-
cation, and the farm gave the
appearance of being well attend-
ed.
Mrs. Boughton lived since the
country on the
of two

A further examination re-
