Last 'Saturday evening Miss
llhoda Holsclaw was pleasantly
surprised by a party of about 20
young people at her home in the

went down to Johnstown Monday
morning to work.
On the night of April 29th , Geo.
W. Williams shot and killed C. C.
Branhan , southwest of Woodlake
on Goose Creek. The sheriff ,
coroner and county attorney were
immediately sent for and the core
ner's jury brought in a verdict of
self defence. It seems that this
Branhan was subject to crazy
spells and asked permission to
sleep in Williams' barn , which
was granted. He had slept there
several nights before , but on the
night of the 29th he tried to get
into the house on several occasions.
.Finally he broke the door open
and jumped into Williams' bed
room. He carried a whiskey bottle
tle in his hand which Williams
mistook for a revolver , and know
ing Branhan to be a desperate
man , immediately opened fire ,
killing Branhan almost instanta
neous.
