"James Hanson, age 20, living at Elmore (7 miles south of Antioch), Indian Territory married Dora Howell, age 17, living at Elmore, Indian Territory, September 18, 1905." (Pickens County, Indian Territory, which is now Carter County, Oklahoma. The marriage record is now located in the Carter County Clerk's office at Ardmore, Oklahoma, Marriagae Book I, page 397.)

"The case of Jim Hanson tried Tuesday and Wednesday for robbing two Choctaw Indians named Bull a short time ago, resulted in a hung jury. From the best we could learn the jury seemed to be unanimously of the opinion that the defendant was guilty, but under Oklahoma law where two or more persons committ a robbery together, the penalty is a life sentence. On account of the extreme penalty the jury agreed to render no virdict. Indicted jointly with Hanson were Jones and Dunn." (From an old Paul's Valley, Oklahoma newspaper, 5 March 1908. NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: I am not sure if this is the Jim Hanson, son of John A. Hanson, but because of the time and place, it is possible.)
