some weeks ago dispatch from Fort
Smith, Ark, stated that William West
moreland, John eagle and John Bird
had been brought in from the Indian
Territory and imprisoned for the mur-
der OF two strangers In the Cherokee
strip about year ago. A correspon-
dent has been looking up the past his
tory of the prisoners and finds that
they are part Of tho most desperate
and villainous gang in the west and
that the cabin where they lived Is a
slaughter pen bloodier and more horri-
BILE than the notorious Bender house in

OF Noah Wesimoreland and his sons,
! Sherman and William, and his son-in-
/ law, settled about ten years ago on the
south bank Of the Cimarron riverin the
extreme eastern point of the Chero-
kee strip. They built a cabin. cultiva-
| ted a small patch OF land, and although
| they were on Cherokee land they hun
ted and fished without molestation.
After they had been there several
years counterfeit money became plenti-
ful in the territory and after time IL
became generally believed that the
WestmOrelands and gang OF rough
characters who were generally around
them were engaged in counterfeiting
and Illicit distilling. Revenue officers,
accompanied by a company OF calvary,
raided the vicinity but could secure no
positive proof Of crime. Scattered
about through the woods aud hidden Ia
out-of-the-Way places were found hui
man bones, old satchels, clothing. Jew
elry, lot Of peddler's samples and 9TH
er ghastly relics Indicating that num-
ber OF people had been murdered and
robbed.
This -'Nas in 1887. and the gang has
been allowed 60 continue4;s -nefarions
work ever since, there being no con-
victing evidence against them.
A prominet Cherokee official states 1t
as his belief that this gang has muir
dered and robbed ten or a dozen large
camping parties, leaving no one 10 tell
the story OF their bloody fate. His son
and another Cherokee boy fshed a mat
tress, carpet and other camp furniture,
covered with blood, from the river not
far from the Westmoreland cabin and
discovered wheae a large number OF
Of bodies had been burned in a log
heap.
An old man who was known 10 have
money told the Westmorelands where
he intended 10 camp that night, but az
terwards changed his mind and changeo
his camping place. The next day he
learned that man who had camped at
the place he had designated had been
murdered and robbed during the
night.
About the time Oklahoma opened
three or four men who had stOpDed at
the Westmorelands, or in the immedi-
ate vicinity, mysteriously disappeared.
The list Of probable victims OF this
slaughter pen will run into tho scores
aud enough evidence can easily be Sc
cured 10 convict the prisoners and 9TH
ers dozen times over. All around the
old cabin are found evidences OF murder
and theft, and the proof against them
for the murder OF the two strangers
year ago Is strong enough tOinsure the
gallows that stands on the territory line
at Fort Smith an addition Of four or five
TO its large list OF victims.
