Cheyenne Sunbeam 109 years ago. CHEYENNE, ROGER MILLS COUNTY, OKLAHOMA TERRITORY W.G. Morris, Editor 1894 Published Every Saturday June 16, 1894 The notorious Bill Dalton has finally been killed by a Deputy US Marshal down in the territory. There is hardly room for doubt as to his identity as the wife of the dead outlaw has recognized him. From the Day County Tribune we learn that lightning knocked Judge Alcorn and his horse about ten feet one day last week. We are glad to hear that the judge received no permanent injuries Local and Personal Items The picnic last Wednesday at Mr. WW Anderson‘s place on Sergeant Major was a very enjoyable affair. The weather was fine, the dinner elegant, the beauty of the scene perfect and everybody present seemed bent on having a good time. Rufe Sayler has taken a claim down on Sandstone. A party of wolf hunters is having pretty good success down on Starvation and Buffalo creeks, having killed some seventy wolves. Mrs. Jas Jackson met with an accident Wednesday whilst returning from a picnic on Sergeant Major (creek). She was accompanied by her daughter and niece. In driving across a creek the horse became unmanageable, carrying the buggy over a high bank and landing upside down in the creek. Luckily all three of the occupants escaped serious injury. We have received an announcement from another candidate this week, but as the necessary fee of $5 was not enclosed we had to lay it in the waste basket. It takes money to run a newspaper, and we shall make no deviation from our rule of cash in advance for announcements. Some of the leaders among the Cheyenne Indians located in this county have made application to have their allotments changed to the Sac and Fox country. The tribe received their monthly issue of beef Monday, twelve cows, and immediately killed six of them. Mr. Pvettgen brought in one of his children Monday from Timber creek for medical attention who was suffering from a throat infection. Deputy US Marshal Wm Banks and posse came in last night from the Cheyenne country with James Thurman and Arnold Meines, charged with horse stealing—Guthrie Capital The Red Moon school house is being painted by A. Clapp. Mr. H.D. Cox and son Don have taken a contract to furnish Texas stockmen with 500 tons of hay. A painful accident happened on our streets Monday morning. Judge Davies and S. Duke were starting for Sandstone on a surveying trip when the back seat of the hack, on which the judge was sitting, turned over backwards, precipitating him out on his head. As the judge is an old man it‘s a wonder he was not killed, but we are pleased to know that he wasn‘t and that he is doing well. The ball given at the opening of the Cheyenne school building was a success. A large crowd was present, the music was fine, and everything went off well. A revival has been in progress since Saturday last in Custer Bend, with the Rev T Medlin in charge. Several conversions are reported. A cowboy named Parlette, who has been working for the Turkey Tracks, was drowned in the Canadian Monday. His body was not recovered. Several accidents have happened lately in that stream causing much loss of property. A messenger came in yesterday from Red Moon after Dr. Miller who was needed to attend a young man named Cam Wilson who had been seriously injured whilst riding on a heavy roller drawn by four horses over plowed land. It is not known how the accident happened, Mr. Wilson being unable to talk when found. The team had evidently run away as they were found in a ditch. Cheyenne Sunbeam
