Posses Search for Murderers.
Word was sent to the sheriff's of-
fice and within k few hours County
Attorney Holt was soon on the
scene of the killing and took charge
of the volunteers who were offering
aid in capturing the murderers.
Posses were immediately formed and
started to scour the country for
miles around McLoud. People in
automobiles, buggies, on horse back
and many on foot, armed with rifles
and revolvers formed the posses'. All
day long a vigorous search has been
prosecuted, the work being directed
by County Attorney Holt. As soon

any other in the county within a-'
ihort time. An offer by residents
of that township to pay $125 to the
commissioners for every mile of good
roads built In that township has been
accepted.
This is in Commissioner It. H.
Iiondon's district. One of the three
county road gangs are now at worki
on the. highways of that township,
already several miles of good roads
having been built. Under the pro-j
posed plan -.the tentative, roads will
hd built without scarcely a .cent of i
expense to the* county. In addition
to making the Qffer of paying this
sum for each milo of • good roads
bjnilt, tho township purchased a team
of mUles and donated them to the
commissioners to be uwed in work-
ing' the roads.
Three gangs of county road Dpris-
oners are at work in the county. A
second.gang is building 'a fill to the
approach of the bridge at the foot
of Beard fetreet whfch spans the
North Canadian river south of this
city. The expense of building the
approach will cost the county $150,
while the lowest bid by contractors
for doing the work was $2,000. The
work of building this approach will
be completed in a few days and the
road gang will be transferred to Mc-
Loud .
McLoud may adopt the plan of con-
tributing a sum to the commissioners
for each mile of substantial highways
built. That township too, has pur-
chased a team of mules and donated
them to the commissioners to be
used In working the highways.

and several citizens went to McLoud
and are assisting in the search.
Sentiment of a lynching has fre-
quently been heard and it is believed
the murderers if captured will be
severely doalt with. The people in
the vicinity are thoroughly aroused
and that the men responsible for
tho death of the officer will be
lynOhed, is admitted.
Story of the Crime.
$hortlj after 2 o'clock this morn-
ing, Arnett was passing down the
street in McLoud. He met Bowman
and the two men continued walking
down the street. They passed into
an alley that leads past the rear of
Seikels store. A short distance from
the rear entrance to the store is an
alarm box where the night watch-
man usually registered a call which
is registered in the police station.
As the two men approached the
alarm box Arnett paused near a
doorway that leads to the basement
of the building in which is located
the Seikels store.
"Bring your light here," Arnett
said to Bowman who was carrying
a lantern. Arnett's attention was
