first opportunity Of what had occurred
and a message was sent by the first
freight train to this city. IL was as
sumed that If the robbers we're COM
ing here it was with the Intention of
making raid upon the bank. So far rs
learned these men have not been seen
since.
Jhe 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, and 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-
tinue 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 so
hard to find and get aboard the train
when the robbery 10 finished. Heck
Thomas, probably as successful an Of
ficer as ever rode on the Fort Smith
force was here last week but 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 we're
any guards on the train; says If there
had been any he could have seen them.
A report Sunday was that the Dal-
tons we're seen at Nowata, but the
story is discredited and it is believed
they are on Saline creek, east Of Grand
river.
Dr. Youngblood, whose tool vas am
putated because OF being shot, had so
far recovered as to be aole TO return
to Adair Sunday night.
A gentleman writing from Adair
says: "The report is going abroad
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
in it IS broken; there is Winchester
here. too, but we have no cartridges
for it; so you see they had us by the
pants"
Miss Gean Finley, of Ia hlequah, who
was passenger, relates several anus
ing incidents of the hold-up. The
news boy "wished he wac at home and
his pa was here" An old w. o. T. U.
lady lost her badge in getting down
under the seat, and when it was called
to her attention remarked that If ev-
cry body wore white ribbon there
would be no train robberies. Another
woman started and got as far as "If
was a man and had a revolver" when
passenger broke in and suggested
that she would be hiding as the guards
were doing.
