Daniel Luxcey, larceny.
Ed Smith, murder.
John Doe, two indictments for introduce
ing and selling liquors in the Indian Terri
tory.
John Doe, attachment for contempt of
court
Thirty-one cases in all.
1t will be observed that there is no case
of general interest, Bob Perry, for murder,
being the most important.
Bob has been in Jail long time, and last
winter, in company with Ed Smith, alias
Ed McSweeney, the soldier who shot
woman at Fort Reno, made bold dash for
liberty but was caught below Arkansas
City by Deputy Marshal Capt. o. 5. Rarick
and Sheriff George Mcintyre, of Cowley
county, and returned to his old boarding
house with frozen feet and otherwise badly
used up. Smith, the soldier, never
has been found and it is generally
supposed he was frozen TO death. How
ever that may be, no trace of him dead or
alive has since been discovered, and if he is
found guilty it will be "catch before you
kill"
Besides the criminal cases there are Capt.
w. L. Couch and twenty boomers, who are
indicted for high treason-waging war
against the majesty Of the United States
government and all that sort of thing. If
these boomer cases will all be tried the ses-
sion will probably be long one and preg
nant with interest.
