Deputy Sheriff Frank Yeager was shot and killed by the constable of Dewey Township. The constable shot him in the back with a rifle. He later turned himself in and was charged with murder. He would only say he was very angry with Deputy Yeager but refused to say why.
Deputy Yeager had served with the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office for only one week. He was survived by his wife and seven children.
