CAUGHT AFTER FOUR YEARS.
Kansas Murder is About TO be Finally
Cleared Up.

SEDAN Kan, Aug. 2l.-After lapse OF
four years, the cowardly murderers OF
John 5. Frazer, prominent cattle dealer
of this county, have been captured. They
are all prominent farmers or business men
living in this vicinity and the news of
their arrest has caused sensation. Their
name are: Theodore f. Cox, Mark McBee,
William Licklister, John r. and Elmer
Cox
Theodore is a blacksmith of Howard,
Kau.; McBee a druggist in the same town;
John Cox, brother of Theodore, hard
ware merchant ut Moline, Kan: Elmer,
another brother, l. prominent citizen of
Clinton, while Licklister has been work
ing III ii straw board factory at Nuncie
Ind.
The crime with which the men are
charged was one of the most cold bloodad
crimes ever committed in Kansas. In 1890
W. II. Gibson and John 5. Frazer were part
nerS IN an extensive cattle business in
ChautauQUa. They imported !, 400 head OF
Texas steers, to which ghboriug, raisers
objscted fearing they would spread Texas
fever. Gibson and Frazer refused TO re-
move the cattle, however, and in cOnse-
quence were threatened with death. They
paid no heed to the threats. but in May, of
that year, Gibson was found dead IN a
hotel at Moline, Kan.
In June Frazer was missed and after a
long search his body, covered with knife
cuts. was found in a neighboring sire N.
Gibson's death was thought to have been
caused by heart disease, but the finding of
Frazsr's body led to the murder theory.
Since then search has quietly been made
Tor the muTderers. eliminating today IN
what the authorities believe to be the ar
rest OF the active participants.

TO SELL THE CHoCTAw.
Oklahoma People Interested in its
Final Disposal.

Special Dispatch 10 the DAILY Eagle.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 81. - General
manager OF the ChOctaw railroad, Brad
ford, met Attorney j. W. McLand and
Chief Engineer z. f. HinckIey here yes
terday.
All the country adjoining Oklahoma
City is interested in the developments of
the Choctaw road. It, is TO be sold Sep
TENDER S, aud it is vital matter as to who
shall get hold of it.
Should the ChOctsw people secure it, an
extension from Oklahoma City would be
an immediate realization. However,
if others should outbid the present man
agement and secure the road, it is not
quite certain when trAcklaying would
begin.
Up to date, however, there has been no
intimation that there will be many bidders
III the field.
The present management declare that
it is its plan, if they secure the line, TO
complete the road from Oklahoma City to
South McAllster at once, beginning work
October l.
1t is thought that the road will build
westward. as the necessary ties and bridge
timber viii be brought from the eastern
portion OF the territory traversed by the
Cboctaw.
For this reason, the people here and at
Tecumseh. and in fact all along the line OF
survey are very anxious over the sale of
the road.
a connection with the old territory TO
the east means a great deal, besides the
valuable connection 1t gives old Oklahoma
with the coal beds.
