Graham,
Charley Wm: (1901-1919) “Charley
Wm Graham. Male, white, single, laborer. Birth: July 4, 1901, North Dakota;
aged: 18 yrs 1 mos 16 days. Father: Nick Graham, b. MN; Mother: Sylvia Derr, b.
PA; Informant: J C Telford, Rocklyn, WA. Death:
Aug 20, 1919. Cause: Secondary Hemorrhage following gunshot wound which
penetrated liver. D A Hewit, MD, Ritzville, WA. Burial: Davenport, WA on Aug 24,
1919. Undertaker: M F Haight, Ritzville, WA.” (WA State Board of Health:
Register of Death“Gun Ends Man’s
Life.) Charles William Graham died last evening at 6:30 as the result of a
gunshot wound accidentally inflicted about 10 a.m. Monday morning over the creek
near the Walla Walla ranch. The bullet tore a hole in his intestinal tract and
bleeding et in before he could receive surgical attention. He was operated on
Monday noon and the hemorrhage was stopped. It was hoped that he would recover
but the wound proved too serious and he passed away yesterday evening.
The affair promised to be a great mystery for a time, but the mystery
vanished into thin air when the pertinent facts were revealed. Graham and a pal
who gives his name as Jack Lewis, were together. The story they both told after
the accident was that they were tramping from Marengo to Ralston and stopped at
the creek and as Graham was stooping over to get a drink, a shot came through
the brush striking him in the middle of the body, just below the chest. Neither
saw any person fire the shot and no one with a gun was seen afterwards.
Help was summoned from the Walla Walla ranch close by, and one of the men
there drove the wounded man to town in an automobile, Lewis remaining to take
his place in the field. But when Graham was placed on the operating table and
the clothing removed it was seen that there were no powder burns all about the
wound, showing that the gun had been discharged at very close range. Graham when
told that his story was evidently a fake, refused to give any different account.
The sheriff’s office and the prosecuting attorney immediately got busy
and investigated the situation, believing that either Graham shot himself or
that Lewis shot him. Finally Lewis, when confronted with the evidence showing
the falsity of his tale, and when cartridges were found on him, stated that the
thing was an accident, that Graham had been wearing the gun and it was
discharged when he went to take a drink at the creek, either by striking a rock
or some other cause. He said he picked up the wounded man and they agreed to
tell the story they first told. The gun was hidden in the rushes and the holster
thrown in the creek. He went out with Deputy Sheriff Rider Tuesday morning and
the gun was found; also the belt. The holster had evidently been carried down
the creek. This version was also given by Graham after he came through the
operation. The strange thing is that they should have felt under any necessity
to make up a tale about the shooting. He was 18 years, 9 months and 16 days old.
His mother, Mrs Bertha Hall, resides at Davenport. She came over Monday, and
returned again today with her husband. The body will be taken to Davenport for
burial. The gun which was recovered was a .41 caliber Colt’s, and the wonder
was that Graham was not instantly killed.” (Ritzville Journal Times:

advantages at his gallery, coupled with as fine a quality of work as can be had
elsewhere. Specialties are made of crayon work, water colors and the latest
styles in platinum finish. Mr Granger is a native of Michigan and has been
