Muriel Davis, 45, years old, and Jesse Meeks, 36 years of age, were the heads of two hostile families liv- ing on the same quarter section of land at Crescent City, a small town near here. Ever since the opening up of Oklahoma proper, these two families have been fighting and quar- reling among themselves, sometimes resorting to courts of law to settle thelr differences, but more often en deavoring to arbitrate them by re- course to personal violence. Last night about 11 Davis went to the Meeks home and a violent quar- rel followed. Meeks was shot, but Davis managed to escape to his home A physician hastily called, found Meeks dying from the effects of aload of buckshot. A few minutes after Davis returned home neighbors heard a gun shot from his house, and, on making an investigation, found him lying dead in bed with the top of his head blown off. His wife and two children also were found to be shot, It is not kaown how seriously they are injured. Republic, 11.
