Rancher Shot and Killed
Ericson, Nebraska,
February 21. – O. P. Beeson, a former well known resident of Butler
County, Nebraska, who recently
became a ranchman of Wheeler

killed this afternoon by D. F. Mason, a man little known in this community.
Some of Beeson’s hogs wandered
onto the neighboring ranch of Phillip Crimmins, with whom Mason lived.
When their owner went for them
there was a quarrel and Mason shot Beeson.
Mason is in jail.
