The Turkeys We're Taken from Dan Der
by VINO Intended 20 Have Held
Turkey shoot Fuesday-The
ColOred Boy Released.

Tuesday morning when Dan Derby
went out to feed the flock Of turkeys,
which he had purchased for the pur-
pose of holding a turkey shoot, seven
of the twelve were gone. Mr.. Derby
and his father-in-law, Mr.. G. L. Dunn,
followed footsteps to where a buggy
had halted, and the buggy tracks we're
traced from one place to another
around town, and finally to the wheels
Of J. D. Cullins' buggy at his place east
Of town. Mr.. Cullins stated that he
had loaned his team and vehicle to W.
J. Craft and Charles B. Irwin the night
before, and that he was presented with
a turkey for payment.
A search warrant was got out for the
premises of Craft and Irwin, and re-
suited in finding two dressed turkeys
in the possession of Craft and two
partly dressed in the possession Of
Irwin. On this evidence Craft, Irwin
and a cOlored boy named George
Washington Brown, in the employ OF
Irwin, we're arrested and arranged be-
fore Justice Calvert, charged with the
theft.
A great deal Of trouble was expert
enced in getting a jury, nearly every
eligible person in the city being drawn
before the panel was filed, but at 6
o'clock p. m. twelve good men and true
had been accepted by Attorneys And
rews and Knight, for the prosecution
and defense respectively.
The state opened by putting the COM
planning witness, Derby, on the stand,
who recited the story of the loss Of the
fowls and tracing the tracks down, Of
finding two of the supposed birds in an
Outbuilding on Crafts premises, and
two more in the garnet Of the Irwin
residence. Mr.. Dunn substsntisted
this testimony,
Deputy Sheriff Arthur Kemp then
swore to the part he took, as an officer,
in the search Of the missing property
and the fowls seized upon under tbs
warrant Of search.
When the state rested they had far
from made a case, but the witnesses
for the defense served to strengthen
the chain of evidence.
Irwin was the first on the stand for
the defense and a. counted for the tur-
keys in his possession most satisfac-
torily, but in explaining why the fowls
we're placed in the garnet, he went to
pieces and made many contradictions,
Under cross-examination he became
badly ratified and allowed the prOsecu-
ton to worm out of him a good many
statements that were derogative to his
case. The testimony Of CulliDs was
also bad for the defense.
Craft sWore he bought his turkeys Of
a farmer and stuck to it all the time,
notwithstanding he underwent 8 rigid
cross examination.
The case was given to the jury
short while after midnight, who after
being out about an hour, brought in a
verdict declaring Craft and Irwin
guilty, and recommending the release
Of Brown.
Justice Calvert then sentenced each
Of the two defendants to fifteen days
in Jail and assessed a fine Of $40 against
each Of them. The colored boy, Brown,
was released.

is 4 HAN Of AhH CRIMES.
Game TO ooodland to Bunoo the
Sherman County Bank.
His shrsvd Scheme Frustrated by The Prompt
Action Of Er. Tombiin.
G. S. EllwoOl Was at the Head Of Gang
Of swIndIers who Have Msde Many
Western Banks The Victims
of Bogus Drafts.

AS was briefly mentioned in The
REPUBLIC last week, the Sherman Coun-
~ bank was defrauded by bogus
draft cashed by a man named G. S.
Ellwood Of Washington county, Kan,
who claimed to be stock buyer, and
who had several former acquaintance
in the city.
The bank sent the draft east for col
lection, and was soon after notified by
telegraph that the paper Wss bogus.
Steps were Immediately taken to ap-
pFehend the swiHdler, and although he
had made several subtle attempts to
cover up his tracks, he was quickly
located at Medford, 0. T.
A warrant was drawn up and given to
the sheriff who left for Topeka Thurs
dag night to arrange for getting the
necessary requisition upon the terri
tory of Oklahoma for the arrest Of the
criminal.
In the meantime Mr.. Tomblin had
gone On to Mediord and located the
man, who he found surrounded by
host OF adherents, among whom we're
the county officers, who declared them
selves willing to do everything in their
power to obstruCt the working Of
justice.
EilwOod, it appears, is man Of many
crimes and the head Of a gang Of bank
swindleFs, and finds it convenient to be
under bond for crimes committed in
Oklahoma, which acts as a protection
against his being taken elsewhere to
answer for his misdeeds.
There were several charges against
Ellwood on the court docket, but when
Investigated by Mr.. Tomblin we're
found to have been settled, but which
were kept on hand to shield and pro-
teCt the swindIeF. These cases we're
sifted down to a charge of murder
upon which EllwoOd will be tried next
month, and if acquitted the requisition,
which has already been served upon
him, will take effect and hold him for
the crime committed here.
The gangs bank swindlers were very
clever, and, had they not pushed the
matter to extremes, would have worked
all right. As beginning they organi-
zed bank at Jamaica, Ia, and estab-
lished a credit that was frstelass.
After the bank had become weII-knoWn
q large number of drafts we're issued
and the institution closed. These
drafts we're taken by EllwOOd and his
Confederates and hoated in the west,
and before the fraud was discovered
several thousand dollars we're secured.
EiiWood at first refused to refund
the money for the draft, but as Mr..
TOmblin managed to get hold of some
property belonging to the sWindler,
Oyertures were made for compromise
and the $500 and all expenses will pro-
badly be returned.
Ellwood has a very shady record and
among his crimes are several murders,
bank Eobberies, hOld-ups and swindles,
and if the territory of Oklahoma can
not give him a birth in the penitenti-
airy, the state of Kansas will see that it
is properly accomplished.

In keeping with this movement, and

hcularly with Tennessee history which
ia rich field for investigation and
one all patriotic citizens would like to
have thoroughly explored.
To aid in this great work the COOP
