That looks to be the same thing I found.---Bk pg-515--from a Oklahoma Indian-Pioneer Vol 68 pg .15
Joel E Oakes april 1937

One son of a prominent citizen took up with some negreos and was living with them.His brother went over to the negro house to persuade his brother to leave them.He found the brother lying across the bed. He walked in and slapped him on the back;the brother on the bed had his gun beside him,grabbed it and fired,killing his brother instantly.
Little Britt Willis killed Jim Willis,a half-brother.There father kept fine racing horses and alots of carousing took place around his place. Another son of his drunk,a friend undertook to take him home. He drew a gun and attempted to kill the friend,but the friend killed him.{Sim. N Folsom} was the friend who killed Hamp Willis.
Colonel Sim N Folsom is supposed to have killed 19 men. Once at his Gin at the mouth of the Kiamichi River, a fellow by the name of Nance who sometimes asked questions when he should have been quiet,asked him how many he had killed. He replied that he had killed eight that he knew of,and had stood trial at Ft Smith for only one,and came clear of that.But he said,"Young man,don't ever kill a man. Run if you must,but but don't kill one.You can see them every time you close your eyes too sleep"
Happy Hunting!
