Deputy Frank Bowman was shot and killed while attempting to arrest two men for being drunk in public. Deputy Bowman had told the men to walk down the railroad tracks and leave the area.
One of the men then turned around and, with his hand in his pocket, approached Deputy Bowman. As Deputy Bowman reached for the man's hand the man opened fire. The two men started struggling and fell to the ground.
Deputy Bowman stood and returned fire as the man ran away, but collapsed and died from his wounds.
Deputy Bowman was survived by his wife.
