ANOTHER MURDER
At Ponca City, Making Two for That Town in One Week.

Another murder took place at Ponca City, Sunday afternoon, which following as it does the murder of Toney Boone a day or two before, would indicate that Ponca City is striving for a reputation.
The killing, Sunday afternoon, took place at the home of a Negro woman known as “Aunt Liza,” in the south-eastern portion of the city, at which place a number of Negroes were assembled, the victim being Mrs. Jim Owens, a young Negro woman. A number of the participants are under arrest.
There are many conflicting reports, but the facts in the case seem to be about as follows: In the course of a quarrel in which a number of persons engaged, one Jim Atcheson, a young man, went into an adjoining room and procured a double-barreled shot gun. Returning he discharged the gun at short range, the charge entering the left thigh in front and tearing a great hole through the limb from front to back. The woman was taken to the office of Dr. Wallace, where the wound was dressed, but she died at about nine o’clock in the evening.
