CAPTURED.
Tan MURDHRERs OF J. r. HARSH
IN JAIL

The young men who murdered John
F. Marsh were captured Saturday
morning at Russell Springs, Logan
county, by N. G. Perryman and ]. w.
Jones Of that place.
The boys rode into Russell Springs
Friday night, put their horses in a
livery barn and then str0lled about
the place, entering a store where they
were seen by Perryman and Jones,
who at once recognized that they we're
strangers, another man coming in said
that they answered the description OF
the men who had murdered the mayor
of Kinsley, he having seen telegram
at Winona, thirteen miles distant,
giving the description. Perryman inn
mediately started man for WinOna
to get better description, while he
and Jones watched the boys, who
were afterwards induced to 60 to the
court house to attend a lycium. After
the meeting the boys went to the barn
where they had stabbed their horses.
made their bed in the hay-mow, and
were soon fast asleep. Perryman and
Jones watched the barn all night and
had intended taking the boys when
they came down in the morning, but
just before daylight number of
men with guns were seen looking
about town so Perrymen and Jones at
once proceeded to arrest the boys.
Cautiously climbing the stairs they
hn c1o fob
ton Oh each side of them, jerked the
blanket off and at the same time COW
ering them with their guns and order
ing:
GLANDS UP ~
The response was prompt. They were
disarmed and found to have a 32 and
3S caliber revolver. Perryman told
them they were arrested for the shoot
ing of j. F. Marsh of Kinsley, when
one OF them at once asked how badly
Marsh was hurt, showing that they
were the right parties.
The party then started for the jail
and were confronted by eight armed
men of Lane county who demanded
possession OF the prisoners fer robblng
Mr.. Green, of that county. For 9
time it looked as though
MORE BLOOD MIGHT BE SHED,
as the Lane county men were very
threatening, but Perryman and Jones
by nerve and good judgment landed
their men safely in Jail and at once
telegraphed the news to this county
ALLEN AND CAMPBELL ON HAND.
The first persons to arrive at Rus
sell Springs were Deputy Sheriffs Alle1
and Campbell, at about O'Clock il
the afternoon, and remained until thu
arrival of Sheriffs Heath and Beeson
when. the entire party, in four rigs
started for Garden City, leaving Rus
sell Springs Sunday at l p. m, an(
arriving at Garden City Monday morn
ing time to catch No. g., reaching
Kinsley at 6:20 a. M.
ARNOLD and Harvey were arraigneG
Wednesday and bound over to the dis
trlct court without bail.
Had these young men been captured
within the first day or two after the
murder Of Mr.. Marsh they would
without doubt, have been roughly
dealt with, but the delay gave time
for sober second thought and the law
will undoubtedly be allowed to tax,
its course without interference.
Too much credit cannot be givel
the Bidwell boys, who formed part O
the guard escorting the criminals t,
Jail, and using all their influence t,
prevent further Iawlessness, and b,
going upon the streets and asking thei
friends to see to it that the dignity O.
the law should be maintained, and u,
doubt preventing an attempt at lynch
ing, which would have stained tn
fair name of our county for all time
1t IS also the wish of Mrs. Marsh tina
the law be allowed to take its course
