The net is closing in about the
gang of outlaws who, on March 27,
raided the two national banks at
Stroud. Five* ven that oOm- j
prised the gang are now secure be-
hind the bars of the Lincoln county
jail at Chandler.
It will be remembered that Henry
Starr, leader, and Floyd Estes were
shot and severely wounded at tne
time of the robbery, since then Bud
Maxtield, Claude Sawyer and Charles
Johnson, other members, have been
apprehended. Each of these three
have been arraigned in the county
court, and their appearance bonds
fixed at $15,000.00 each. Starr and
Estes will be arraigned just as soon
as their wounds heal sufficiently to
permit their appearance in the court
room.
Good Work of Officers.
The arrest of Max-Held and Sawyer
were first to come after the robbery.
Maxtield was arrested in Tulsa county
by Sheriff Wooley of that county,
upon information furnished by Sheriff
Arnold of this county. Maxfleld is
the robber who held the horses at
the Stroud stockyards while his pals
were engaged in looting the two
banks. It has been proven, also,
that he furnished the wagon, harness
and some of the horses used by the
gang. County Attorney Speakman
states that they have the “goods”
on him beyond question of a doubt.
Sawyer was arrested in McAlester
last Thursday, by Sheriff Arnold and
, Deputy Fi.ink Miles, and brought to
Chandler Friday afternoon. Arnold
and Deputies Miles and Tilghinan
had taken a hunch of prisoners to
the state penitentiary at McAlester.
Before leaving here Sheriff Arnold
had secured reliable information that
Sawyer could be found in or near
McAlester His informant is said to
have been an Indian who resides)
near Keif or and who knew every
member of the gang and knew the
trail they took in making their
away from Stroud.
Upon turning their charges over
to the warden of the penitentiary
the three Lincoln county officers be-
gan a still hunt for Sawyer, each
taking a separate route. Deputy
Miles was first to discover the quarry
and quickly notified Sheriff Arnold
and Deputy Tilghinan. Tilghman
hurried to his hotel for his gun while
Arnold and Miles started for Sawyer.
He was located in a livery barn,
placed under arrest and rushed to a
room where he was kept closely con-
fined and guarded until train time.
So quickly and quietly was the ar-
rest made that not even the McAles-
fcer officers knew of it. Neither was
their prisoner allowed to communi-
cate with outsiders.
Both the wounded men are getting
along nicely, considering the nature
of their wounds.
Last Friday an X-ray photographer
from Oklahoma City came over and
took an X-ray photo of the wound in
Starr’s leg.
It is alleged that the alleged out-
laws—Sawyer, Maxfleld and Johnson,
will endeavor to prove alibies. In
that case someone will probably be
impeached.
It is up to Court Clerk Embry to
allrove any bonds offered and we
have it from him that he will require
a gilt-edged document in each ease.
No straw bonds will answer.
There is still considerable talk of
a jail delivery. Nothing to it. Sheriff
Arnold and his force are not to be
caught napping. Outside the e,\tn
night guards there are loaded army
Titles to the number of nearly a hun-
dred scattered about town and In the
hands of men who can, and will, use
them if the occasion demands. Any
attempt, to take out the prisoners
will result in some “dead ones.”
Win. Tilghinan has been of con-
siderable service to Sheriff Arnold in
the capture of Sawyer, Maxtield and
Johnson. His thorough knowledge
of the usual haunts and hiding places
proved very valuable.
Sam Estes, brother of the wounded
outlaw by the same uame, was ar-
rested at Tulsa, but later released,
as it was ascertained he had no part
in the robbery. He is now in Chan-
dler.
Citizens of Stroud, who have seen
the prisoners, identify each of them
and swear they cannot he mistaken.

Here’s a new departure that is to
be inaugurated by the business men
of Chandler and under the indorse-
ment of the Pull Together club.
Beginning tomorrow, Saturday,
afternoon, every farmer, his wife
and all the children will be admitted
to the Odeon Theatre between the
hours of 1:00 o’clock and 6:00
o’clock, free of charge.
There are no strings to this offer,

be forth coming. Ask for as many
as you like. Ask for them next Sat-

until September 1st. You are wel-

I HERE are people in almost
every community who are
anxious to avoid paying the
merchants a reasonable mar-
gin on their merchandise. They
readily believe any fairy tale
told them by smooth tongued
frauds who are entire strang-
ers to them. Nearly all of these
“soft snaps” offered by these
fellows are swindles. The best
plan is to patronize home
merchants. They help to pay
a large part of the taxes, help
support the churches, the
schools, and are c itizens among
us. They. are responsible for

lowed it to a successful termination.
AH last Friday, during the heavy
rain and wind storm, Frisbie and an
Indian guide stuck to the trail. It
took them up into the rough country
east of Pawhuska—the hiding place
of many an outlaw. Late Friday
evening they found where Johnson
had left his horse and saddle, and
deciding that the rider would come
for his property in tne morning,
camped right there. Sure enough at
about G o’clock Saturday morning
Johnson appeared and HI flipped a
six-shooter on him with the com-
mand “stick ’em up.” Johnson
obeyed orders and a search of his
person brought to light a line, new
Luger automatic pistol, the very one
that caused Ranker Lee Patrick to
sit up and take notice that his bank
was being robbed. Hi. hurridly
caught a train, and, with his prison-
er, arrived In Chandler at 7:30 Sat-
urday night. All concede that it
took a certain amount of nerve for
an officer to. practically single hand-,
ed, go info the Osage hills, arrest an
outlaw and take him out. But Hi.
showed the right amount of pluck
and here’s hoping he gets the $500
reward.
Two More to Ooine.
Two of tho seven bandits are still
at liberty, but their arrest, in the
near future, is confidently expected.
Sheriff Arnold has reliable informa-
tion to the effect that both men are
hiding across the state line in Ar-
kansas. A close watch Is being kept
for their appearance by officers of
that locality.
Notes.
Starr has received quite a number
of visitors. Among them was Mrs.
Wolfe, a daughter of Zack Mulhall.
His common law wife and his mother
continue to see to it that ho receives
plenty of good food.
Governor Williams increased tne
reward on three of the uotlaws to
$500.00 each, dead or alive. John-
son is supposed to be one of these
three, and If he Is convicted, Friable
will come In for the $500.00.
Mrs Maxfleld, wife of one of the
captured outlaws, arrived from Tulsa
the first of the week and is endeavor-
ing to get her husband out on bond. They say dead men tell no tales.

Considerable business of import-
ance to Chandler and the surround-
ing communities was transacted at a
meeting of the Pull Together club,
held Tuesday night, at the offices of
Hoyt & Tilghman.
A. E. Patrick read a report of
expenses of road fund which showed
a balance on hand of something
over $300.00. This amount will he

that they are ready to join us at the
