BOUND FOR TEXAS.
Two Alleged Murderers Start for
There Today.
They Are Charged with Brutally
Killing a Tenderfoot.
Both Men Had Worked in the Shops
at Laramie.

This morning United States Marshal
Joe Rankin will start to Paris, Tex, hav-
ing in charge w. D. Logue, the murderer.
The old adaRe is pretty well illustrated
that murder will out in this case. The
facts, as obtained by a LEADER reporter
in an interview yesterday with Deputy
Marshal Carr, run something as follows:
Some time in May, 1890, there was a
ton, Indian territory. Among the cow
boys in attendance were w. d. Logue.
his brother Tom and an Is ycar-old boy
from the East. The cowboys in the ter
ritory and Texas are generally pretty
tough characters. and they had not been
together long before an alteration took
place between Tom Logue and the East
ern tenderfoot. 1t seems that the cow
boys who have once become habituated to
riding the Southern plains, think they
have certain inalienable rights to which
others are debarred. and one of these is
that no tenderfoot can herd cattle with
them.
The Logues, either of whom were much
the Fasteners superior physically, it
seems, suspended all rules of manhood
and as w. d. Logue rode his horse over
the boy. Tom Logue came directly behind
him and shot the boy living upon the
ground helpless and bleeding from the
effects of being run over by W. D..
Logue's wild broDcho.
After the killing the men Tit out" and
came to Colorado, where they disposed of
their tired horses and also assumed the
aliases of Faulkner. From Colorado the
murderers came to Wyoming and the
older one has been in and around Laramie
ever since, the younger. Tom, having
gone to Colorado about six months ago.
The United States officials have been
diligently searching for the fugitive
murderers ever since. W. d. Logue was
located by Deputy United States Marshal
Geo. NJ. Stewart of the Indian Territory
a few days ago. Logue was detected by
Marshal Stewart through bis (Logue's)
wife writing letters to her people. By
some shrewd management Stewart IA
enabled to intercept one of these
letters post marked at Laramie,
Wyoming, which gave not only the where
abouts of the Logues. but their business
and the firms for whom they we're work
ing. The United States official, whose
headquarters are in Paris, Tex imme-
diately left there for Laramie. Arriving
IN Cheyenne he went at once to Marshal
Joe Rankin and laid the case before him.
Rankin dispatched Deputy Carr to Lara
mic with Stewart, the latter to identify
the murderer and the former to make the
arrest. Logue was working in the car
repairing shops. Marshal Carr found
him without any trouble and said: Ct
have a warrant for you LoGue. Consider
yourself a prisoner
What does the warrant charge me
With" cody inquired Logue.
"With horse stealing" remarked Mr..
Carr, more for a joke than anything else.
This made Logue hot" He protested
against such an infamous charge. Finally
when re had got IN to a high pitch, Carr
said: No. the warrant is not for horse
stealing. it is more serious-it is for MUIR
der"
rs that all2" remarked Logue. the
news evidently lifting a heavy weight off
his mind. We'll" he continued, Il
may be guilty of murder, but it is a
damned outrage for you to tel! me | have
stolen a horse"
AS Quick as W. D. Logue was arrested
the officials telegraphed the marshal In
Colorado to arrest Tom, and he did so at
once, and today both iugitives, with the
life blood of an innocent ''tenderfoot'
upon their hands, will be taken to Paris
to answer for a dastardly crime.
