Cheyenne Man Killed
Clarence Trammel, ex-deputy
sheriff of Roger Mills County
and son of the late Cob Trammel,
sheriff of Roger Mills County for
several terms was killed in a gun
battle with Fayette Dodson on
the Main Street of Cheyenne,
about 6 o’clock Saturday after-
noon, Feb. 17.
Various stories are afloat as to
the cause of this sad affair, and
it is not ascertained by whom the
first shot was fired as the whore
affair began and ended so quiet -
ly. The current opinion is that
the enmity between these men j Long Produce
had arisen some time before andj.j^s* Bros
that Trammel deciding to bring
matters to an end met Dodson on
the street and drew his gun
Whether he intended to kill him
was unknown, but it seems that
brth men fired two shots each, nv
rapid succession, Trammel being
instantly killed while Dodson was
slightly wounded.
Both of these men are well
known in Roger Mills County
and sentiment runs both ways
The only comment we have to
offer is that it is indeed sad that
when there is so much room in
the world two men should con-
clude that there is not room for
them both, and it is not for us to
commend or condemn either of
the luckless parties.
WE THANK YOU

C. H. S. take this means of
