TITLE, Dan - {from The Bentonville Advance} This individual, sometimes known as Captain Dan Title, was killed in William Cawood's saloon at Maysville on Christmas day by one of the young Wards{John, if we are correctly informed}, who was a kinsman of his. There is said to have been a feud long existing between the parties and upon meeting in the saloon Title took occasion to insult young Ward; and then, upon Ward's showing resentment Title seized him by the throat with one hand and shoved him towards the wall, at the same time striking him in the face with the other. Ward thereupon drew a pistol with each hand, small self-cockers, known as the "British Bulldog," and began firing. Four shots took effect - one through the lower part of the heart - and Title of course died instantly. Both parties were residents of the Indian Territory but the killing was done on our side of the road. Ward says that he will stand his trial but avoids arrest to keep from having to give bond or go to jail. The feeling is that Ward was justifiable as Title was very dangerous and is known to have killed several men.[Fayetteville Democrat -Fayetteville, Washington County, Arkansas -January 10, 1880]∼12 NOV 2020, Added gender, middle name from wife's memorial. 1) Original bio content from creator of memorial is below divider.
