Jim CAPPS, was shot and instantly killed by Love SIMPSON, five miles south of Vian, in the latter's yard last night about ten o'clock. According to reports both had been drinking, but what started the row we failed to ascertain.
The shot was from a shot gun loaded with buckshot, the full load taking effect in the right breast, killing CAPPS instantly.
After the shooting, SIMPSON went to bed and soon asleep. The officers here were notified, and went to the scene of the killing and arrested SIMPSON and took him to Sallisaw for a hearing before the commissioner.
CAPPS was well known here. Both men are white.
