Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1892-07-28


Woods sent word TO Big Cabin at the
first opportunity Of what had occurred
and message was sent by the first
freight train to this city. II was as
sumed that If the robbers were COM
ing here it was with the intention OF
making a raid upon the bank So far as
learned these men have not been seen
since.
The people at Catoosa feel confident
| they had two OF the outlaws at their
town few days after the robbery hap
pened. The men purchased some gun
oil and few things to eat. After leav-
ing town they met an old colored man
named Charley Robbins and ques-
toned him as to whether he had
heard Of any trouble in the country
within the last few day, aud if he had
seen any strangers or marshals out
that way.
The fear that another raid may be
made has caused the company to con-
lnue its vigilance and body OF full
blood Choctaws were put on as guards
last week. These men they hope will
not hunt the high grass as quickly as
the former force and will not be 80
hard to find and get aboard the train
when the robbery is finished. Heck
Thomas, probably as successful an Of
ficer as ever rode on the Fort Smith
force was here last week bnt said he
was giving no attention to the train
robbery nor are any other of the fed
eral court officials.
The operator Haywood, who was
compelled to flag the train the night
of the robbery, has quit his job and
gone home to the states. He dis
credits the statement that there were
any guards on the train; says if there
had been any he could have seen them.
A report Sunday was that the Dali
tons were seen at Nowata, but the |
story is diseredited and it is believed |
they are on Saline creek, east Of Grand |
river.

putated because Of being shot, had so

that the men of this city are not very
brave; the fact is there is only one six
shooter in town and the main spring

here. too, but we have no cartridges
'or it, so you see they had us by the
pants"
