Looking for more info on this story:
Marietta Daily Leader 10/7/1897"
Denver Colorado Oct 6 - "Cursing the officers who held him in custody and threatening to take their lives at the first opportunity, Jay Draughn, alias Hirma Baker, the wounded Kentuckian, has been taken to the depot on a stretcher and placed on a train. He is now on his way to Paintsville, Ky, where he is wanted for killing Ben Cunningham and wounding Sam Rice. The officers who have charge of him are John A Draughn, his cousin, and Sheriff Bays of Johnson County KY. Some weeks ago Jay Draughn killed R A L draughn, the father of John A Draughn, near Grant Colorado and in the fight was himself seriously wounded, a bullet having broken his left shoulder. He was exonerated by the coroner's jury."
