C OKOtiZWS JWRy IJ1 -BEAUCHAMP KILLI/fC—
"DEATH BY GUN SHOT WOUNDS
INFLICTED FELONOUSLY"
Thomas Brothers Held Without Bail for Trial—Be-
lieve They Have Defense
SAYSHOTS WERE FIREDON BEUEFTHAT BEAUCHAMP WOULD KILL
Five
Gapping Wounds in Body and Head—Bdy Will Be Shipped to Texas for Burial
—Relatives of Both Participants Coming to Lawton—Feud
Has Been of Long Standing
"1h« said Jurors, upon their oaths
do say that January 15, 1908, A. I).,
in said Comanche county, said Dr. F.
D. Beauchamp came to his death by
gun shot wounds inflicted from two
Colts revolvers held in the hands of
John F. Thomag and Will Thomas,
aud said wounds were inflicted felon-
iously by said John F. Thomas and
T?ill Thomas."
Such is the verdict rendered this
morning by the coroner's Jury in the
case of the killing of Dr.F. P.Beau-
c lamp by the brothers, John Thomas
of this city and Will Thomas of
Chico, Texas, after meeting in ad-
journed session in office of County At-
torney J, A. Fain. Th® Jury met last
Might but because of the inaccuracy
•f the evidence adjourned to this mor>
lag.
Following are the rapn constituting
•fee coroner's jury: P.C.Monroe, S.D.
Rankin, M. B. Warren, J. C. Talmadge
Gharles Warburt, and A. F. Pokorny.
(In the confusion of the moment a&
vhe lateness of the Bhooting, a mistake
was made last evening by this paper
in stating that Arthur Thomas of
Fort Worth assisted in the killing.
Arthur, a cousin, had been in Lawton
but had returned home.)
According to the evidence revealed
by post mortem examination perform-
ed by Drr. Turner. Dunlap and My-
ers, five shots entered the body and
head of Dr. Heauchamp—four in the
body and one In the head. One en-
tered the left side just below the fif-
th rib in a median line with the
arm pit and ranging forward and up-
ward passed through the heart and
left lung and out between the four-
th and fifth ribs. A second bullet
entered between the ninth and tenth
ribs two inches to the right of the
spine and ranged upward aur" * ■■"•ward
through the right lung and out through
the middle of the breast bone oppo-
site the fourth rib. A third entered
between the tenth an<f eleventh
ribs to the right of the spine ranging
through body and passing at a level
of the diaphram out at left of costal
cartelage opposite ninth rib. The four-
th enteied the bead three and one half
inches above the left eye and at the
edge of the hair ranging downward
through left side of the brain and
on into the tissues of the neck, where
it remained. The fifth entered oppo-
site the fourth joint of the spine mid
way between the spine aud shoulder
blade ranging downward and back-
ward underneath the skin and out six
inches below. Any one of the five
but the last would have proved fatal.
Four shots, according to evidence
in the coroner's hearing, were fired
by Will Thomas and two by John-
one of the six evidently missing the
mark.
The Thomas brothers refuse to mak
any statement whatever of the case.
"If the court permits us to make
bond," stateed John this morning to
a representative of this paper, "I be-
lieve that my friends here will raiBe
it."
Attroney Ai Jennings who has been
employed to defend the brothers, re-
fuses any statement as to the probable
plans for the defense.
It is understood that at the tie of
the killing, which occurred about 4:50
o'clock last evenirg at the Rock Is-
land station, a bunch of men, among
whom were informally grouped the
thi-^e participants, was walking from
the depot to the train which was
just entering the station. John Thoma
had passed a little in advance of
Beauchamp when the doctor, or the
first time seeing him, set on the
platform the typewriter, eye speci-
alist case, and specialists sign which
he was carrying. Will Thomas, who
as at the rear of the doctor, seeing
the action and thinking that he was
attempting to draw his revolver, open-
ed fire not more than six feet away.
Beauchamp fell and as he did so,drew
his gun but was unable to fire, John
seeing that the gun was in his hand,
then fired twice agaJin, one bullet en-
tering the shoulder and the other
the head.
Some statements ot the case claim
that Dr. Heauchamp had started to
step on the train when Will Thomas
opened fire and that he then dropped
to the platform and drew.
Tile body of the deceased will be
."hipped to Wise county, Texas, for
burial, tomorrow. Modern Woodmen of
Mangum this morning telegraphed for
the body to be propel ly cared for.
Relatives and friends of both par-
ticipants have arrived today and more
are expected.
Dr. Beauchamp Ha* three brothers
one sister and a mother, n.ll living
in Texas.
The killing of Charley Thomas, an-
other brother, by Dr. Beauchamp at
Hobart, occurred February 15 last—
just eleven months before yesterday's
tragedy, and both at a Rock Island
station.
Since being released on bond sev-
eral months ago, Dr. Beauchamp has
resided in Lawton, at first on the
McDuffie addition, and about three
weeks ago removing to the corner
of sixth stree and B Avenue in order
that hi« children might better attend
school.
He had started to Mangum for the
purpose of opening an office but had
intended to leave his family in Lawtoi
Daring bis stay in Lawton, he had
held his office temporarily with Drs.
Turner and Dunlap-
"I have talked to Dr. Beauchamp
often," stated Mrs. Beauchamp last
evening," and warned him against be-
ing so careless about staying here
where the relatives of Charley Thomas
lived." She is heart broken over the
tragedy and is today in very poor
physical condition.
West is Persuing Policy of Railroad Regulation
Constitution-Democrat
News Bureau, lone Hotel.
Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 16.—Regulating
railroad* and other corporations so as
to compel ihem to conform with the
detailed principles of the law has
become the prominent principles of AU
torney General West and so well vers-
sd is he at his job the expression
that the has the corporations on his
shoulder has become conventional
in lobby conversatino.
The greatest piece of work for the
common people of this state that any
■Jan during its eighteen years of ex-
istence, first as a territory and then
ee a state, has accomplished is that
of reducing rates on coal and lumber
tharged for freightage by the railroads.
While a reduction has not yet been
effected, there appears to hindrance
to it® being effected at a very early
date. During six years of Oklahoma's
existence—including Indian Terrltor
- the people have been robbed of ap-
pioximately 1240,000,000 by railroads
in charging exceflbive freight rates
on these two commodities, but not
until the territories were permitted to
wear the robe of statehaad was a ser-
ious effort made to check this monstr-
ous evil.
People of the state who have oc- |
caflion to investigate statistics along j
these lines may be compelled to learn
the facts given above and for once
many of them are getting their eyes
vopened to the real conditions.
whose wells are already supplying
a large portion of the citizens of Law-
ton with gas, has also practically
decided to sink a test well to a depth
of several thousand feet with the
hopes of finding extensive deposits.
Clarence Smith, the negro who at-
tempted to assist in the escape of Her

Interest in Oil Development
Because of recent findings in the
way of oil and gas deposits near Law-
ton, a new impetus is being given
among oil speculators and enthusia-
asts for the immediate development of
these resources here aud a number
of -neii interested in this line of busi-
ness have been here durliig the past
few days arranging definite plans for
such work.
"I believe there is certain to be
found around Lawton immense deposit
of gas and oil,' "stated Robert Gillam
of this city this morning, "and 1 ex-
pect to invest some money in the im-
mediate development of these depos-
its." Mr. Gillam has already delved
successfully in the oil fields of
the eastern part of the state and has
always expressed himself as thoroughly
convinced in the value of the Law
ton field.
Slew Wife at Manitau Last
Summer While in Bed
With Babe
Frank Ford, a negro from Mani-
tou who last summer killed his wife
at that place was today granted by
District Judge J. T. Johnson an order
of transfer of hearing from Coman-
che to Tillman county and will be
transported to Frederick as Boon as
the new jail at that place is com-
pleted.
The murder of the negro woman by
Ford was one of the most cruel ever
occurring in the history of Comanche
county—Ford's home being in that
portion of Comanche county which
•vas later cut off and placed in Till-
man county.
He entered the house, either intox-
icated or enraged for some unknown
reason and. while the wife was lying

Big Pasture District Almost All Send in
Enumeration
Through the office of County Su-
perintendent J. A. Johnson, almost
all of the school districts of the Big
Pasture admitted to membership in
school system of Comanche through
the opening of the land last spring
and through the offer of State Super-
intendent E. D. Cameron provided en-
umerations of school population were
filed in his office by the fifteenth of
the present month, have filed such
enumerations and will receive a share
in the state's school fund for the
present year which is estimated to be
approximately two dollars per capita.
IA very few of the districts failed to
get their enumerations filed because
of the fact that tliey had not yet been
organized-
J Superintendent Cameron has instruc
ed Mr. Johnson that a new report
• must be filed in his office showing
the districts which have been cut
from Comanche county and those whic
have been organized through the open-
ing of the pasture lands. Because
of the fact that some were cut off on
each side of the county and placed in
newly formed counties, and still others
added in the new lands, the records
of the county now in the office of
the state superintendent are in con-
fused condition. Supt. Johnson is this
week working on this reprot in ord-
er to straighten this confusion.

[Copyright. 1907, by T. C. McClure.]
When Mr. Bowser rose up from the
dinner table the other evening, he
passed through the kitchen into the
back yard. an l after three or four
minutes the cook came in to Mrs. Bow
•er and asked:
"And cau you tell me what's going
to happen mow, ma'am?"
"How do you mean7'
"Why, Mr. Bowser Is looking for
something in the grass out there and
lighting a match now and then. If the
gas meter Is to be blown up or ttoe
water pipes bursted, I want to get out
of here."
She wns assured that nothing in the
lino of tragedy was likely to happen,
and when M/. Bowser came in he w.\s
asked if he had been hunting for .i
lost pocketknlfe.
"It was Just a preliminary Investiga-
tion," ho replied.
"Investigation of what? I wish you
wouldn't be upsetting the girl with
your mysterious actions. You keep her
on the ragged edge all the time."
"Mrs. Bowser, If the men who have
been delving into the sciences for the

last 200 years had paid attention to
the whims of a red beaded servant
girl, where would we have l* en now .'"
"Then you are delving, are you?"
"I am. If I can contribute anything
to the general knowledge of the world
by a little effort on my part I feel It
my duty to do so. I have spent very
little time in investigating, and yet It
has not been entirely thrown away
What would we have known of nor
oral history if hundreds of meu ha^
not delved? But for the fact that Rev
Mr. Long, the naturalist, has spent
years and years In the forest, would
we know that when children are lost
a wolf takes It upon himself to lead
them home? Would we have learned
that when a bird breaks its leg It acts
as Its own surgeon by tying splints
around it?"
"And you were helping along the
cause by looking among the hones,
bottles and cans in the back yard?"
suggested Mrs. Bowser.
Mr. Bowser didn't reply for five min-
utes. It took him all that time to
flush red and white and keep from
yelling out at. her. When he had final-
ly got a hold with his toes on the floor
he replied:
"If you want to know what I was
out there for I can tell you. There
were some gentlemen belonging to the
Naturalist club in the office today, and
the question came up as to how crick-
ets passed the winter. They contend-
ed that they burrowed in the earth be
low the frost line to reappear in May.
and I contended that they died of hun-
ger and cold and that the crickets of
next year would be born of eggs de-
posited In the grass. I stepped out
into the back yard to make a prelim I
nary investigation."
"But what do you care whether
crickets die off or not?"
"What did the world care whether
Stevenson invented his locomotive or
not? I am not curing so much for my-
self, but for the generations that are
to come after me. The evenings have
grown cold. We have bad frosts. If
the crickets burrow they are burrow-
ing now. If they turn up their toes it
ought to foe easy to find their dead
bodies In the grass."
"Shan't we run into Green's a little
while tonight?" she asked to change
the subject.
"Not tonight. We can run into
Green's any time. It is a still night,
with a touch of frost in the air. There
couldn't be a better night to Investi-
gate the cricket problem. If I solve It
In the manner I expect to, I want to
write out my discovery and send It to
the dally papers. I am now going to
take a little walk and may not l e
back for an hour or two."
"Very well," replied Mrs. Bowser In
resigned tones, realizing that any ob-
jections were useless.
Mr. Bowser put on his fall overcoat
and hat and took up his cane and lef<
the house. As soon as he got outside
the gate he tried to look like a natn
rallst who was on the eve of a greai
discovery, but he didn't make much of
a ruccess at It. An old woman came
along and stopped him and asked for a
nickel to buy tea with, uud when
refused it she arepped back and said:
"It is such brewers as you with th.
big stomachs on them that are driving
the poor people to revolution."
Heard a CrieW-.t.
Mr. Bowser walked on for half *
mile and then reached the suburb*
He had no sooner struck vacant prop
erty than the \oice of a cricket rcn« 'i
ed him. It was a plaintive voice. I

didn't solve the problem The lusort
had Just taken a Miff hoppetyteliop
when a gruff vo'.v at Mr. Bowser's
elbow demanded:
"Now. then, what sort of a racket ik
this? What have yo:j lest here on sj:
lots that you are lighting matches to
«ee by?"
"My frleud, 1 am looking for crick
ets," replied Mr. Bowser as he ro^ up
"What!"
"Looking for crickets. 1 said."
"Then you'd better have the keeper
of an idiot asylum looking for you!
What In the devil do you want of
crickets?"
"Do you know whether crickets bur
row in the earth at this time of year
or simply die of the cold?"
"Do I know? Do I know?" shouted
the man as he began to swing hi*
arms about. "You must thluk I'm a
lunatic to ask me such a question as
that. I'm the owner of that saloon up
there, and I have no time to lie around
bug bunting. By what right do you
come on my property without saying a
word to me?"
"Why, If you are so mighty particu-
lar about It"—
"Welty I am that, and you t off.
You may be hunting for erick* aud
you may be hunting for geese, and you
can't go too soon to please me."
Mr. Bowser went. He realized that a
row In the neighborhood would dis-
turb all the crickets for a uille around,
lie continued his walk for half a mile
and then turned ai'lde from the street
again. There was no saloon in sight,
and the nearest house was forty rods
away. He now caught the voices of at
least six crickets, and he paused to in-
terpret them. As near as he could
m::!;e out. half of them wanted hot
beef tea and woolen blankets, and the
other half wanted to borrow spades
ai i pickaxes to do their burrowing
with. He got down and lighted more
mutches, aud he was carefully paw-
ing over the cold and brittle grass
when he heard a horse coming on a
gallop. He had hardly straightened
himself up when a mounted policeman
halted heslde him and asked:
"Who are you and what are you do-
ing here*?"
"My name's Bowser, and I was look-
ing for crickets."
"Don't try to guy me, old man. I
wasn't born yesterday."
"Ferhaps you never heard of a crick
et for all that."
Arrested by Policeman.
"Oh, yes, I have. I know a cricket
from an old vag the minute I set eyes
on him. You are coming along wltb
me. You are one of the fellers that
kept the crime wave going last sum
mer."
Mr. Bowser fell back on his dignity
No go. Then he tried bluff. Worse
yet. Then he accompanied the officer
back to the saloon and Identified him-
self and stated his object in such n
manner that the cop was Anally con
strained to say:
"Well, I wouldn't have believed there
was a man fool enough to go hunting
crickets at night, but perhaps you an
all right except being a little cracker
in the head. I'll see you home, ami if
your wife has good sense she'll keej
you off the streets o' nights after this."
"Aye, she'll have to." added the sa
loonlst. "I'm sure the old cock was
after ray flock of geese, no matte,
what he says, and If he comes ngaii
I'll Jump him seven feet high with
charge of bucksLot."
Mr. Bowser wanted to g > home a!o:. •
but the officer was taking no chance
He accompanied him clear to t!i• gate
advising and warning him all the way
and he sat his horse until the doni
opened and closed again.
"Well." said Mrs. Bowser as i.
looked up from her book, "have you
found out whether crickets burrow o:
freeze?"
"We'll see our respective lawyers
about the divorce In the morning." he
quietly replied as he fell Into a chair
with a sigh of relief. M. QUAD.

Would most respectfully ask the afflicted—those
who are not prejudiced, the following questions:
Does it not seem |x>ssible that a physician of 33 years
experience in treating a given line of diseases should
have attained to a higher plane of understanding re-
garding these diseases than those who treat (or treat
at) all diseases that flesh is heir to.
Are we not living in an age of specialism, as be
irig applied to every trade, art, science and calling?
Assuming that you have answered in the affirmative,
I would simply say that I do not do obstetrical prac-
tice. I do not treat diseases in their incipient stages,
(beginning) hut I do treat, and successfully' these
diseases that are styled chronic and complicated.
Many years ago I thought that I could discern a dis-
crepency, and a failure on the part of men of my pro-
fession In treating at close range, or otherwise, all dis-
eases and their many phases. Feeling my self pecu-
liarly gifted, I set at work to relieve ana cure the
mador diseases. My success in this chosen field has
been phenominal and amply proven, time witnout
number, and too in tho seven years that I have now
l>een in Oklahoma. I do no cutting in any case of
rectal diseases, cancers, tumors, gall stone, stone in
the bladder, appendicitis, ovarian enlargement of
women, hydrocele, varicocele, etc. Nervous diseases,
blood and skin diseases, stomach, liver and kidney
diseases are permanently cured. Sufferers call at my
