Armed inmate killed, hostage rescued at hospital
GENEVA, 111. (AP) - Offi-
cers fatally shot an armed jail in-
mate and freed his hostage at a
hospital in northern Illinois on
Saturday, several hours after the
inmate stole a gun from the cor-
rection’s officer guarding him,
authorities said.
A SWAT team quickly moved
in to Northwestern Medicine
Delnor Hospital in Geneva after
negotiations broke down with
the inmate Saturday afternoon,
Kane County Sheriff’s Office
spokesman Patrick Gengler
said. Gengler said one officer
shot and killed the inmate,
whom he identified as 21-year-
old Tywon Salters.
The female hostage was “ex-
tremely emotional and upset” fol-
lowing the shooting, but ap-
peared to be physically OK, Gen-
gler said. She was quickly taken to
another room in the hospital.
The standoff began about
12:30 p.m., when the inmate
snatched a gun from a correc-
tional officer at the hospital
about 40 miles west of Chicago.
Salters, who was being held
on charges related to a stolen ve-
hicle, had been in the Kane
County Jail’s custody since April
11 and in the hospital since Mon-
day, Gengler said. Gengler said
he couldn’t release details about
why Salter was hospitalized, cit-
ing federal privacy laws.
The standoff had been con-
tained to one section of the
emergency room as of late after-
noon, when SWAT and crisis ne-
gotiation teams were called to
the scene. Gengler said the hos-
pital’s emergency room was
quickly cleared, but patients
elsewhere in the hospital
weren’t evacuated.
The hospital went on lock-
down, meaning no one was al-
lowed on the hospital’s campus.
‘We were able to move pa-
tients out of the ER. Those that
needed medical care were trans-
ferred to other hospitals,” hospi-
tal spokeswoman Kimberly Wa-
terman said.
The hospital asked people to
avoid coming to the area and to
not come to visit patients during
the standoff. Ambulances were
on standby for anyone who ar-
rived at the hospital in need of
urgent care, city spokesman
Kevin Stahr said.

A Kane County police officer monitors the scene Saturday at Northwestern Medicine Delnor
Hospital in Geneva, III., during a lockdown after a jail inmate being treated there managed to
take a correctional officer’s gun in the facility and hold an employee hostage.

nicipal building cannot be heard
over a wide enough area as it
calls Denton residents daily to a
moment of silent prayer, Mayor
Lee Preston has asked that insti-
tutions where there are bells co-
operate by ringing the bells at 10
o’clock each morning.
The bells should be rung for
about 10 seconds, he said, en-
abling the city to comply with a
proclamation by Governor Coke
Stevenson and a request of the
Denton Association of Christian
Women.
wood is Henderson Murphy, a
Virginian who built a log hotel at
Old Alton in the 1850s. When
Denton was created as the new
county seat, Murphy put his ho-
tel on log rollers and moved it to
the new square. Murphy’s son
John was the first white child
bom in Denton.
Another is P.C. Withers who
came to Denton during the Civil
War as a member of QuantriH’s
Raiders, a band of Southern
guerrilla fighters under William
Clarke Quantrill.
The group included Cole
Younger as well as Jesse and
Frank James. It is not known
whether Withers knew the
James boys. Withers returned
to Denton after the war and
served as the city tax assessor-
collector for 15 years and as the
county tax assessor-collector for
four years.
Mrs. Smith, who mapped
the cemetery 20 years ago and
again recently, found that be-
cause of the many broken and
moved markers a large number
of graves are now lost. She
thinks a fence should be
erected and the cemetery
locked at night.

The youngest student ever to
attend TCU threw on a pint-
sized graduation robe Saturday
and walked across the stage to
get his physics diploma.
Since enrolling in 2013 at
Texas Christian University, 14-
year-old Carson Huey-You also
double minored in math and
Chinese, Noelle Walker of
KXAS-TV (NBC5) reports.
“It didn’t come easily. It really
didn’t,” he told the station. “I
knew I wanted to do physics
when I was in high school, but
then quantum physics was the
one that stood out to me, because
it was abstract. You can’t actually
see what’s going on, so you have
to sort of rely on the mathematics
to work everything out.”
Carson will begin graduate
During the absence of Coun-
ty Attorney Alvin M. Owsley,
who has been called to the train-
ing camp for reserve officers at
Leon Springs, Assistant County
Attorney H.G. Owen is in charge
of the legal procedures for Den-
ton County.
Owsley will join other Den-
ton County boys already at Leon
Springs: C.J. Foster, F.D. Cox, A.
Paul Simpson, W.E. George,
George Fritz, Clark Owsley, Jer-
ry S. Fowler, Bala Williams, Fred

zor, James Potts, J.B. Cunning-
ham Jr., John W. Bailey Jr.,
Mack Hodges, Kearle Berry, Loy
W. Ledbetter and George Ruck-
er. Eldon Young is another for-
mer Denton boy in the camp.
The school music teacher
pounded out “Pomp and Cir-
cumstance” on the piano when
Christine Haynes McAdams led
the Fred Douglas Class of ’42
down the aisle of the St. Andrew
Church of God in Christ.
Mrs. McAdams will lead the
class down the same aisle Sun-
day in a 50th reunion service of
the Fred Douglas High School
(the school name was spelled
with only one ‘s’). In the days of
segregation, Fred Douglas was
Denton’s all-black school before
the new Fred Moore School was
built, named after its principal.
Mrs. McAdams and four
classmates will reunite for the
first time since their high school
graduation. Fred Douglas was a
four-room wooden building
with a small gym building next
to it. The gym was too small for
the graduation ceremony.
After the Fred Moore School
was built in 1949, the old wooden
building was moved to Fred
Moore Park and eventually tom
down. Mrs. McAdams was vale-
dictorian of the 13-member class.
“My speech was on ‘Our Faith
Is in America’ because the war
had just started,” she said. “I was
very proud to be valedictorian
and I’m still proud.”
Mrs. McAdams, who has lived
in Denton all her life, will be
joined by two other classmates
who are Denton residents, Wil-
liam “Mutt” Devereaux and Char-
lie Jones. D. L. and Gladys Stan-
fier Johnson, who were high
school sweethearts at Fred Doug-
las and married after graduation,
will come from Fort Worth for the
reunion.
The only other living gradu-
ate, Ester Mae Johnson, lives in
California and will not be able to
attend, Mrs. McAdams said.

Homefolk can add their con-

The ground floor will consist
of lounges, reception areas and a
post office box area. A connect-
ing mall between the dormitory
and the cafeteria will also have a
lounge area.
The roof of the 225-foot-tall
building will be a combination
sun deck and observation deck.
‘We would like very much to
give people the chance to tour
the building and go to the top,”
said Dr. John Guinn, TWU pres-
ident. He added that the school
hopes to have a dedication by
October.
The dormitory will house
640 women, freshman through
senior, with each room housing
two women.
A sizable chunk of Denton’s
history is buried in the Oakwood
Cemetery in East Denton, which
contains the bones of mayors,
county judges, state senators and
even one of Quantrill’s Raiders.
Many of the epitaphs read,
“Gone But Not Forgotten,”
which was a common epitaph in
those days, but apparently they
are being forgotten.
Oakwood, which was deeded
to the city by Hiram Cisco before
the Civil War on condition that
the city take care of it, is kept
nicely landscaped, but the en-
croachment of urban life is de-
stroying the markers.
A quick walk through the
cemetery showed that at least 75
gravestones have been broken or
turned over.
As a result, says Mrs. Lorena
Bates Smith, whose father wrote
the history of Denton County,
the graves of many figures in
Denton’s early-day history are
being lost.
In fact, she says more people
are being buried on top of peo-
ple because the graves are not
properly marked.
Among those buried at Oak-
Improvements on
Square will begin soon
Engineer Harrison of Dallas
is here getting levels and mea-
surements for making improve-
ments of the public square along
the line of bringing the court-
house lawn out to 80-foot from
the courthouse site.
The County and City Com-
missioners are co-operating in
the improvements.
Work is expected to begin on
the improvements in the near fu-
ture, as soon as plans are accept-
ed. Tentatively, it is said, the plans
include concrete curbing and
walks about the enlarged yard.
Mr. Harrison is to make a re-
port on the probable cost of the
work within a week and the
matter will come before the next
regular meeting of the Commis-
sioners’ Court on May 14.
