to its farm readers.
Former Citizen Is
Survivor pi Fight
With Gun-Burglar
Mrs. Sa mWilliamson, living on
route two out of Saint Jo, has fur-
nished the Tribune with a lengthy
article from the Holdenville (Okla.)
Daily News, part of which should
be of interest to many local readers.
The clipping gives an interesting
sketch on the life of Sam Houston
Roach, whose father homesteaded
the place where Dick Harris now
lives near Saint Jo.
Mr. and Mrs. Roach moved to
Holdenville from this county in
1909. Mr. Roach recently observed
his 76th birthday by "coming up to
town for the first time in a long
while."
About thirteen years ago, while
serving as Holdenville's nightwatch-
man, Mr. Roach was shot down by
a burglar whom he discovered try-
ing to break into a drug store. He
was brought down by the bur'glar's
gunfire which struck him first in
the leg and another shot which
tore away the upped and lower
lobes of his left ear and ploughed
a deep furrow through his lower
jaw.
Although severely crippled, Mr.
Roach managed to return his assa-
ilant's fire, but none of his shots
took effect. Roach spent 100 days
in the hospital and the accident
left his right limb, which was
splintered byt he first bullet, about j
two inches shorter than the other
leg.
Mrs. Roachs mother was the late
Mrs. Mary A. Roach, a second
cousin of Gen. Sam Houston, for
whom the Holdenville was named.
The former Montague county man
is an uncle of Dick Harris, Sam
Roach, Mrs. Williamson and related
to a number of other persons is
this sector.
