Jessie [sic] Beck died Sunday morning at 6 o'clock. He was the third to die of John Tiger's victims. The annti-mortem disposition made by Beck was to the effect that he heard a shot fired just before he turned the corner on Foley avenue and Railroad streets. Tiger threw a gun on him. Beck begged him not to shoot. "I want to kill dam whiteman," said Tiger, and fired. Beck was buried among his people near Bower.
