DRUMRIGHT- July 25. - (Special) Mrs. T. R. Braught, wife of former deputy sheriff who is now in jail at Sapulpa charged with murdering Ote Robins at Oilton on the morning of July 1, was shot and killed here tonight by a man said to be Buck Davis, an oil driller. He made his escape into the hills north of here and is pursed by a posse of armed men.

Mrs. Braught was proprietor of a local hotel. Davis was a former sweetheart. Jealousy is said to have been he cause of the shooting. He is said to have entered a room where the woman was talking to one of her roomers and, without warning, to have pulled a pistol and fired point-blank at the woman, three times. The first bullet pierced her heart and she fell to the floor dead. Two other shots were fired into her body.
