The cattle were being repossessed by the Hoyt State Bank for nonpayment of a loan. Three men are dead as a result of tragedy enacted on the reservation Tuesday afternoon and continued at Hoyt Wednesday morning. J. O. Marshall shot and killed two young men, Bert Griffith of Hoyt and Lloyd Ireland of Grant township, and later paid the penalty with his own life at the hands of armed posse. The bodies of Marshall and Lloyd Ireland were brought to Holton, while the body of Griffith was taken to Hoyt for burial. The shooting of the two young men was the result of a disordered mind inflamed by a legal action whereby Marshall’s cattle were levied on, sold by the sheriff and were being driven to Hoyt as the property of the Hoyt State Bank. The sale of the several head of cattle was made by the officer’s at the Marshall farm twelve miles west of Holton Tuesday morning by due process to satisfy a chattel mortgage. Orion Williams of the Hoyt State Bank took possession of them and had Bert Griffith along to drive them to Hoyt. They secured the assistance of Lloyd Ireland, living nearby, to help drive the cattle. The boys had proceeded as far as Soldier creek on the county road across the reservation when Marshall overtook them. He had come home, found his cattle gone, armed himself and started in his buggy in pursuit. There were no witnesses to the murder, but circumstances indicate he overtook the boys and shot them with a 44-calibre army rifle. W. H. Lasswell, driving home from his ranch about 3:30 in the afternoon with his family in his car, came upon the body of Bert Griffith lying dead in the road with a bullet hole through his head. A short distance ahead they overtook Marshall in his buggy. The latter leveled his rifle at the occupants of the car, got in and ordered Mrs. Jepson, who was driving, to take him to Hoyt. The car stalled and couldn’t be started. Marshall, after threatening the Lasswell party, left the car and drove on in his buggy. Mr. Lasswell at once telephoned the officers in Holton. Later the body of Lloyd Ireland was found in the field nearby, his body pierced with four shots from Marshall’s rifle. Marshall pursued his course to Hoyt. When he was accosted at Mayetta he leveled his gun on the officers who confronted him. It was supposed his mission at Hoyt was to “get” Orion Williams, cashier of the Hoyt bank. He ate his supper at a Hoyt restaurant, his gun before him. Finishing his meal, he walked down the street and disappeared in the darkness. Sheriff Frazey and his assistants searched the town to no avail, and after deputizing several citizens, came back to Holton. Yesterday morning at daylight the man hunt was resumed. Marshall was seen coming down the road towards Hoyt from the old Colburn barn where he evidently spent the night. He was headed towards the Hoyt bank. Members of the searching party met the killer in the road and asked him three times to surrender. The man refused and as he was lifting his rifle, shots from the posse brought him down. His chest was perforated with buck shot. Sheriff Frazey brought the body of Marshall to Holton at once. On his person was found his rifle, a hatchet, a dirk knife, a revolver and a pair of pliers. He had determined he would not be taken alive. Bert Griffith, one of the victims, is a man of about thirty. He lives on a farm west of Hoyt. He leaves a wife and child. Lloyd Ireland, the other innocent victim of the madman’s deadly aim, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ireland. He was married seven months ago to a granddaughter of D. H. Hagar. He lived on the W. R. Ireland’s farm twelve miles west of Holton in the same neighborhood with Marshall. J. O. Marshal is well known in the county. He was about 50 years old and was married. Officers and others who have had business dealings with him say he was of an excitable nature, violent and threatening at times. ... the body of Lloyd Ireland was removed yesterday evening to the home of his uncle, W. R. Ireland ... Mrs. Marshall is expected in this morning to make arrangements for the burial of her husband. Orion Williams of the Hoyt State Bank yesterday notified the undertakers to embalm the body. The Holton Recorder, October 26, 1922. Lloyde Edward Ireland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ireland, was born August 24, 1898. He has lived in Jackson county all his life except six years, when he lived in McPherson county.
