CHRISTIAN GANG.
Encounter Between the Outlaws and
U. S. MarShalls in the Indian Ter
ritory---The Gang Surrounded.

Ardmore. I. T., August 23.-An en-
counter between the noted Christian
gang. who broke Jail at Oklahoma City
several months ago, and have since
added to their numbers, and a posse Of
United States Marshals in charge of Ben
Goode, occurred shortly after daylight
this morning, six miles west Of Purcell,
in which United States Marshal Jake
Hooker was shot and mOrtally wounded,
and Bob Christian shot, but how serious
his injuries are, cannot be de-
termined, as when his horse
was cut down under him
and he was shot by Deputy Hooker, his
brother, Bill Christian, rode out Of a
thicket, and placing mis- wounded broth
er on his horse ahead of him, the two
made good time and escaped. Hooker
was shot by BI. Christian. After
Hooker received his wounds, the other
marshals turned their attention to the
wounded officer, and the outlaws saw a
chance, and they at once broke cover and
fed
AT 10 o'clock United States Marshal
Stowe received the following telegram
from the United States Commissioner
at Purcell:
Purcell, l. T., August %.
Stowe, Marshal:
Send all deputies on the first train.
Have the Christian gang surrounded six
miles west of here. Fight this morning.
Deputy Hooker and Bob Christian both
shot. Quick work necessary.
(Signed) THOMPSON,
Commander.
This information created great ex-
element. Two strong posses of mar
shals, one in charge of Commissioner
Gibbons, of the Paris Court, were organ
lied and left at 10 o'clock to join the
chase. The latest advices from the
scene is to the effect that the marshals
lare in close pursuit, and their capture is
surely expected.
Later-Before the reinforcements ar
rived Bob Christian was put on a horse
behind his brother, Bill, and both es-
capped, followed closely by the remain
der of the gang. The last heard from
the scene was that the outlaws were be-
ing pressed hard by the deputies and a
fight seemed imminent.
