a. Article in The Shelby Chronicle, Vol. 3, Number 30, Columbiana, Alabama, C. C. DuBose, Editor & Prop., Thursday, January 31, 1889.
"A man by the name of Joe Bowman was killed near Calera last Thursday while resisting arrest on a warrant for wife beating. James Hanley was the unfortunate officer who killed him. Hanley surrendered himself to the authorities."
(Note by Barbara Handley: The newspaper was a weekly, published on Thursdays, so if Bowman was shot last Thursday, then the actual date would have been January 24, 1889.)
