has confessed to a murder committed at Durant in May 1923.

his mother. Harrison was convicted at Durant but was released on bond pending
an appeal. It was made to appear that he had committed suicide by

Leap
Curtis BOONE, aged 26 years, 915
North 6th avenue, Durant, suffered the loss of half his right foot as the
result of being dragged by an M-K-T freight train from which he tried to
jump early Sunday morning. The foot was so badly mangled when he was caught
and dragged by the train that it had to be amputated at the instep at the
Durant hospital where he was taken shortly after the accident. BOONE, with
O. J. DENNINGER, aged 17, also 915 North 6th, were returning home from Texas
where they had been picking cotton. They boarded the through freight train
at Denison, and when they reached Durant, BOONE tried to jump off. He was
caught as he leaped and dragged about 50 feet. He was taken to the hospital
in a Holmes ambulance. DENNINGER refused to jump from the train which does
not stop at Durant but left the train at McAlester and then caught a south-bound
freight to return home.
On the latter train he was held
up by a Negro driver, robber of $2.00 and forced to leave the train at Atoka.
Durant city officers and deputy sheriffs, notified of the holdup, caught
the Negro when he left the train here. He was run down in a cornfield into
which he ran when the train stopped at a watertank in the northeast part
of town.

on trading with Indians, the Katy railroad having been here but a few years.
She has seen the wide prairies become farms, dotted with homes and schools,
with ribbons of roads on every section line that she knew as unfenced, cattle
grazing land with few people nearby.
In her time she has witnessed
the development of meany thing that we now take as a matter of course, the

C.A. HANCOCK, Pioneer Died Last
Thursday
Funeral Held
Saturday
C.A. HANCOCK died at his home
in Caddo last Thursday night, after a brief illness, aged 80
years.
The funeral was held in the Methodist
church in Caddo Saturday at 2 p.m. conducted by Rev. A.D. EGGSNER; interment
in Caddo Cemetery.
Pallbearers were: Henry EDWARDS,
G.S. CROSSETT, W.H. ATTAWAY, H.T. FAUDREE, John L. BOLAND and Bert FRYER,
all old timers and close associates of deceased.
C.A. HANCOCK was a pioneer of
pioneers in Caddo, coming here in 1871 with the M.K. & T. railway, being
one of the passengers.
He first came through this country
in 1868, when just a mere lad with his father, who was driving a herd of
South Texas cattle to Kansas.
He clerked in Fenton and Marchand's
Store some years, then went into the mercantile business for himself, and
prospered greatly. He was a very enterprising merchant, and as the wide prairies
became peopled, he it(sic) was who built a steel bridge across Blue at Nail's
crossing, the better to get the Twelve-Mile Prairie trade.
In his lifetime he was the spirit
of progress, took part in the organization of Caddo, contributed to its welfare
and growth.
He was wed to Miss Dusi SIMS;
is survived by her and six children; P.C. HANCOCK, Tulsa, Lee S. HANCOCK,
Okla. City, Jack HANCOCK, of Caddo, Mess. Phillis HANCOCK, Okla. City, Mrs.
Harold PARKER, of Shawnee, and Mrs. FAUDREE, of Atoka.
The funeral was largely attended
all business houses taking time out to close in honor of deceased, who had
contributed so much for the well being of his community.
It was the editor's privilege
in his 38 years in Caddo to know Mr. HANCOCK well; we never knew him to say
an idle word, a profane word, or to speak unkindly of any person. In his
business dealings he was square, he kept his word; he helped many people
in distress; he was a man to rely upon. We bought the Herald from him after
his father, J.S. HANCOCK died, and we never knew him to be other than sympathetic
with us in our early problems.
C.A. HANCOCK was a member of the
Methodist church since 1885; he go in the last years of his life other the
same house, the one in which he died last Thursday(?). Seldom did he go in
are last years of his life other than to his little grocery, and to his
home(again ?)
C.A. HANCOCK saw many changes
in Caddo. He has shot wild deer from his home porch; he saw many prairie
chickens, more common than domestic fowl; he was with the first bank; the
first telephone, the first street sand sidewalks, the first brick buildings,
the first roads and the first everything else in Caddo.
It was men such as C.A. HANCOCK
who made our present civilization at all possible; who paved the way for
us who came after, and builded upon the foundations they laid.
All honor to those pioneers who
went before us.
