Dexter made an important arrest Wednes-
dsy in the Chickasaw Nation, about a.
teen miles north of Delaware Bend. The

The sheriff Of that county has been on the
alert for Roe several months, and while
here q few days ago he said he would
rather have him caught than any fugitive
from justice from his county, as he Vas
one of the worst criminals in the country.
Roe had only been stopping few weeks
in the vicinity where he was arrested,
and during his short stay there he
had created great deal of alarm
and CONSERVATION among the peaceable
people in the vicinity. Only a short time
ago he took his Winchester and called on
quiet farmer in that neighborhood and
threatened him and his two sons with in
slant Geath il they did not leave the county
insfanter. These parties took him at mis-
word and left their home at once and had
not returned up to the time the arrest
was made. The outlaw was blowing
when he was taken in by the officers who
got the drop on him, throwing two
revolyers down on MIN before he
was aware what WAS wanted.
The officers brought him to Gainesville
last night and left to-day for Longview.

hsd been dragged some distance after
death, taken to . secluded spot In q
swsmp, where . log heap had been built
over it, and set on fire and burned up.
The victim is thought to have been 8
young man by the name Of Morgan, who
had been stopping in that locality sew
eral days previous to the finding of
the body and who Is supposed to have
gone from Texas there. It is known that
this same young man had gone to this
camp where two women of bad repute
and some daring men were stopping. He
had ct lesst $500 on his person and 1t is
supposed he was murdered by these des
perado campers for his money. The
crowd mysteriously fed several days ago,
and it was suspected at the time that
Morgan had gone with the decamping
outfit. Officers of the Choctaw nation
nave gone in pursuit OF the fugitives with
