In Durance Vile. Again.
After >iz days and five nights
of persistent search, Sheriff Pat
Oates captured Goodwin and Bun-
nell, the Alva jail breakers, Fri- j
day morning, in a dugout, twelve
miles north of Mooreland, Wood-1
ward county, and by eleven
j o’clock had them behind the bars
again.
The country in which they
were captured is one of the most
wild and inaccessible retreats in
Oklahoma, but Pat was on their1
trail and they would have been
much better off if they had not
made the break for liberty.
Deputies Dunk Doles, J. W.
Murphy, Emmet Noel and others
did good work in the pursuit but
the last two days Pat looked after
the job single-handed. Last
Thursday evening he made np
his mind that the men had enter-
ed a dugout at the head of a can-
yon. He then went out and got
a farmer to be on hands when
j daylight came, to tie the prison-
ers while he held them up. At
daylight he pushed the door open
with his winchester and ordered
the men to throw up their hands,
j which they promptly did. The
'farmer then bound their ankles
| together so that by keeping step
they could walk and marching
them to a farm house he secured
a team and took his prisoners to
Mooreland. They arrived in Alva
on the Santa Fe and by eleven
o’clock Friday morning he had
them safely in the Alva jail
again. Pat seems to be as suc-
cessful after the jail-breaker as
against other law-breakers, and
although the Woods county jail is
not a very desirable place to stay !
we don’t believe that the boys
will try it again even if the door
was left open

A Dark Horst No Longer.
His name is Jesse J. Dunn and
he haiiS from Woods county.
The cat is out of the bag, the
dark horse is on the track, and, P
as the Kansas City Star corres- f
percent puts it, “his band wagon
is cavorting.’’ Mr. Dunn’s friends
have for months been urging
him to permit his name to be £
used as a candidate for delegate £
to congress. But he steadily re-
fused to listen to the seductive
arguments of his friends, giving
as reasons that he was friendly
to the nomination of another can-
didate already in the field, that
he had no ambitions inthatdirec- ^
tion as he had worked up a good £
practice in his profession and
preferred the quiet home life that
he is now enjoying, to the glare
and glitter of public life. But
Mr. Dunn’s friends took a differ-
ent view of the situation. They f
took the position that since Mr.
Callahan’s nomination as delegate ff
in’ 1896, the nomination had been (J
given to democrats and populists
alternately and that the plum fj
should fall to the populists this f?
year notwithstanding the fact C
that the field was full of demo- ^

cratic candidates. They claimed
that this being conceded, Mr.
Dunn was the logical and strong-
est candidate for the position;
owing to his wide acquaintance
ovtr the territory and to his not
having been mixed up in the fac-
tions that too often impair the
strength of the ablest candidate.
No one questions Mr. Dunn’s
sincerity in so long declining to
listen to the importunities of his
friends. But the time has come
when he can no longer resist the
popular demand.
Woods county is practically
unanimous for his nomination,
the democrats being more insis-
tent if that were possible, than
the populists. The Woods county
delegates to the Anadarko con-
vention June i, found much to
encourage them in pushing Mr.
Dunn’s candidacy. They have
resolved to do so. With all due
courtesy to candidates now in the
field they propose to push his
candidacy to a finish.
With Jesse J. Dunn for our
standard bearer, Bird McGuire
will have to climb a tree or hunt
a cy cave to avoid being run over
! by the fusion band wagon.
