Thank you Dad for this little hidden treasure I found inside one of your books when faced with the unpleasant task of clearing out your office.
The caption under this picture reads: "On April 19, 1894, Silon Lewis was sentenced to be shot "until dead," for the murder of Joe Haklotybbi. He was given his freedom, without bond, until execution day. On November 5, 1894, he promptly appeared at Mashalatubbe Court House, near Red Oak, Indian Territory, sat down on a blanket, removed his shoes and calmly signified he was ready. He was shot through his lung by the sheriff, because Lewis' heart-beat was on the right side of his breast. Guards are shown smothering him as the sheriff stands by with a Windchester."
