W. 0. JANUARY KILLS
MILTON m NEAR MOORE
January Gives Himself Up and is in Jail--De-
clines to Talk-Inquest Being Held This
Afternoon--Keck Charged With Seduc-
ing January's Daugnter.
W. D. January, the well known farm-
er of the Corn neighborhood, four
miles north of town, met young Milton
Keck, son of Jhn Keck, in the rdad
some two miles southeast of Moore
about noon today, and shot him dead,
using a revolver. Mr. January came
to town and gave himself up, and is
now in jail. He has retained Ben Wil-
liams a.ia J. M. Cowan to defend him.
Acting under instructions from his
attorneys, Mr. January declines to
make any statement except to say that
upon trial his act will be shown to be
justified, and he is not afraid of the
outcome. From other sources it is
learned he will plead the "unwritten
law," that Keck, who is a young man
some 20 years of age, seduced Mr.
January's daughter, and upon his re-
fusal to marry her and thus mitigate
his offense, the young lady became
mentally unbalanced and attempted to
commit suicide. This so worked upon
her father's feelings, that when he
met young Keck this morning and the
latter again refused to marry Miss
January, the father shot and killed
him.
Mr. January left the body of young
Keck in the road, and after a visit to
his home came direct to Norman. T.
G. Shockley, of Lexington, driving
from Oklahoma City in his automobile
was told of the dead man, and brought
the news to Norman. Sheriff Pickard,
County Attorney Grigsby and Justice
Linton went to the scene of the trag-
edy, and are holding the inquest this
afternoon.
It is thought Mr. Keck was taking
his milk to the creamery, when he met
Mr. January and the trouble took
place. Evidently Mr. January knew
of Keek's regular trips, and timed his
arrangements to meet him where the
killing occurred.
It is a very unfortunate affair in all
its aspects, and the Transcript, with
all the friends of the two men, sin-
cerely regrets the terrible outcome of
this neighborhood trouble.
DEATH OF DENNIS BERNIER
Mr. Dennis Bernier, long an esteem-
ed and respected citizen of Cleveland
county, died at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. Rosa Stoner, No. 315
East Apache, this morning (Friday,
Jan. 14, 1915), after an illness of some
weeks. His age was 75 years, 2
months and 11 days. The funeral ser-
vices will be held at St. Joseph's Cath-
olic church Saturday afternoon at
2:30, Rev. Monsignor Metter conduct-
ing the exercises. Interment will be
in the Catholic cemetery.
Mr. Bernier formerly resided in the
Denver neighborhood, and had many
friends who regret his demise. He
was the father of Mrs. Rosa Stoner,
Mrs. John Rush, Mrs. John Hudgens
and John Bernier of this city. The
earnest sympathies of the community
go out to the bereaved.

PASSES WITH HIGH HONORS
Twenty-nine applicants took the
state Pharmacy examination at Okla-
homa City on Tuesday and Wednes-
day, but only twelve of them were
successful. Second in the list among
the twelve was Harry R. Brown of
Norman, whose percentage was most
excellent. Harry says the examination
was a pretty stiff one, but he got
through without much trouble, as he's
well grounded theoretically and by
practical experience.
The Transcript joins liis many
friends in congratulating the young
man.
News comes from Chicago cf the
marriage there on Wednesday, Jan.
12, 1916, of Mr. Chas. P. Landt and
Miss Georgetta Shippy. After a short
wedding tour the happy couple will
come to Norman to it;.,ide.
Miss Shippy is well and most fa-
vorably remembered here. She is a
daughter of Geo. M. Shippy, former
chief of police of Chicago, and came
with her parents to Norman when Mr.
Shippy purchased what is now known
as the Shippy farm, southwest of
Norman. She taught several terms in
Norman's Schools, and is a charming
and accomplished young lady. Mr
Landt is well known here, being owner
of several fine farms (among them the
Shippy place) and is regarded as one
of Cleveland county's most enterpris-
ing and energetic citizens. The young
couple will have the earnest good
wishes of many friends.

State College to the Ledger. It was
declared that the federal postoffice
department stretched 20-mile routes
