United States AIarshals In Vigorous Pursuit
Of the Indian Territory Train RobberS-

CoFFEYvILLE, Kan, Dec. 26.-Yester>
day was day of great excitement in
this locality. Sunday nights daring
and unusually successful train robbery
on the very border of the city has
aroused the people to the highest pitch
and deep settled determination to rid
the country of the bold desperadoes
has taken hold of the officials. All
day long marshals were seizing upon
clews and following up infor1mation IS
to who compose the gang.
A young Cherokee, who was arrested
here on Saturday on a charge of steal
ing pair of pants from one of the
stores. when questioned yesterday,
morning admitted that he had been
sent to Coffeyville by a man, at whose
house the robbers stopped on Saturday,
for two quarts of alcohol for the gang.
He was to meet them at a certain point
about ten miles from here, and, as he
failed to show up. they evidently came
to Seminole station to intercept him,
and planned the robbery while they
were waiting for him on Saturday
evening and returned on the same
evening to carry their purpose into
effect They were seen near the sta
tion on Saturday evening and on Sun
day they were observed at several
points on the Verdigris only few
miles from town.
This holdup has a feature that is
in In in.
stance has the United States mail been
disturbed. The robbers not only went
through the postal clerk, but they
opened the mail bags, rif1ed the regis
tered packages and carried off lot Of
mail matter. This certainly will put
the United States authorities OH their
mettle, and it is to be hoped that the
strong powers Of the general govern
ment will be used to catch the perpe-
traitors of the outrage.
Last evening five deputy United
States marshals and their posses, with
a carload of horses and Number of
bloodhounds, were unloaded at Semi
mole station. A telegraph station was
esta blished in the box car that figured
in Sunday nights affair and vigorous
pursuit is now under way. The difec-
tion taken by the band has been as
certained and full description of the
men obtained from parties who saw
them on Saturday and Yesterday,
They are undoubtedly the Wooten
boys, all white, composed the outfit.
They were all very. poorly mounted on
Saturday, and were very indifferently
clothed This accounts for the
eagerness with which they seized
upon overcoats and other pieces Of
clothing. They took the newsboy's
coat and pocketed lot of his goods,
which proves that.they were hard up
The gang has been in the brush since
July, and are in desperate straits..i. :
