Ed Bohanon, Indian Policeman
Both Were Killed. Chickasaw Enterprise, May 2, 1895--Durant I. T. April 25--Indian Policeman Ed Bohanon and Jim Jackson shot and killed each other at the home of a man named Taylor, four miles west of town this evening. The Taylors were accused of stealing a yoke of steers from a mover and holding them for a reward to be offered for their recovery. Bohanon received instructions from Agent Wisdom to take the steers in charge and he, in company with Jack Turner, went to Taylor's house for that purpose. They met at the gate, Jim Jackson, armed with a gun. Bohanon and Jackson drew their guns simultaneously. Bohanon fell dead with a bullet through his head, and Jackson walked into the house and fell, where he died from a bullet through the breast. |
