Two More Arrests.

Jake Timms and his sister-in.law,
Miss Abbie Fruits, were arrested and
brought down from Mulyane Tuesday
by Sheriff WOodcOck. They are
now lodged in the county Jail with
their preliminary hearing set for next
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The
arrest Of these two parties was caused
by the statements made by John Ag.
ner, the man who was arrested a day
or two ago, on the suspicion of bis
having written the threatening letter
which was received by Sam Butts
some time ago. Agner says the letter
was written by Jake Timms and Miss
Abbie Fruits and hence their arrest.
He states that he mailed the letter
and knew nothing ofits contents. So
far the prisoners refuse TO speak on
the subject and it is probable that no
new Developments in the case will
occur until the preliminary hearing.
The officials are confident that some
or all Of the arrested parties are
guilty.

Jailed on SuspiciOn

Sunday morning Constable Charles
Gertner of Mulvane arrived in the
city with one John Agner who
had been arrested for writing letters
OF a threatening character. Agner
himself has claim in the Strip but
his parents live at Mulvane, where
young Agner spends much of his time.
He went down to the Strip on May 10,
and a day or two after he had passed
through Dalton, letter mailed at
that place of a threatening nature
was received by Sam Butts, tie man
who was shot by John Timms, who is
now serving a seven-year sentence in
the penitentiary. The letter stated
that the writer or writers were after
Butts and were determined to kill
him. This man Agner has for some
time been very intimate with the
Timms family and it is suspected
that either he himself wrote the let.
ter or else it was written by some OF
the Timms family and mailed by Ag.
ner as he passed through Dalton on
his way to the Strip. Agner is one.
armed man, hence it is very easy to
trace his identity. He denies all
knowledge Of the letter, however, and
claims to know Or care nothing about
the matter. He is lodged in the coun.
ty Jail at present.
