Will Join Cook Bandits Submitted by: Mollie Stehno

Guthrie Capital: Deputy Marshal John Beard, of Claremore, I. T., was shot and killed yesterday morning four miles south of there, while trying to arrest Jim Price, a local tough, wanted by both the United States and Cherokee authorities. Deputy United States Marshals Beard and Pulse went after Price, who got the crop on them. Beard stopped behind his wagon and took a shot at Price, who returned the fire with a Winchester ball, which pierced Beard’s brain. He then, after driving Pulse away, fled to the brush, saying he was going to join the Cook gang.
