Two More Killed.
ort Smith Democrat llethl.

From the Fort Smith Democrat Q9thl.
News reached the city yesterday
through the postmaster at Braggs, l.
T., who came down, of the killing at a
dance near that town of Gano Adair,
sheriff of Sequoyeh District, and Hiram
Stevenson, a deputy marshal of the Mus
cogee court, by Jack Chewee, a noted
outlaw of that section whom the officers
have long sought to capture. The kill
ing occurred at dance when the officers
undertook to arrest the outlaw, and in
stead of doing it were both killed in the
attempt. Adair was one of the most
prominent men of the Cherokee Nation
and was brave and faithful officer.
Hiram Stevenson was one of the men who
helped to protect the town of Braggs at
the time Verdigris Kid was killed while
robbing the town with partner he had
with him.
Jack Chewie is the man who was with
Webber Isaacs when he killed the
peddler from Kansas to rob him of his
pack. Isaacs is now in the United
States Jail at Fort Smith awaiting
execution for his crime.
Later reports state that Adair was not
killed outright but is thought to be
mortally wounded.

F. D. Houck in this issue of The
PRESS announces his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for re election

Office of Marshal requires peculiar
fitness and that Mr.. Houck is suited for
it no one will deny. He has made
fearless officer, and it is natural that in
the discharge of his duties he should
have made some enemies, but this
should not initiate against giving his
claim due consideration at the primary.
j. P. Mullen returned from Wash

that he met with many of his old friends

Jr., Judge j. S. Little, Senator Berry
and j. S. Dunham and others extended
to him many courtesies. He was agree
ably surprised at the great popularity
of Senator Jones among his colleagues,
Members of Congress and other high
officials and the public generally in
Washington. Mr.. Mullen says he is
satisfied with the result of his labors
concerning his business matters in
Washington.
City Marshal Houck returned Sunday
from the northwestern part of the
county and the Territory along its
border, where he had been on the search
for the parties who committed the
triple murder in the Indian Territory,
west of Uniontown. While up there
Marshal Houck fell in with the sheriff
of Sequoyeh District, who had fifty
men with him and for two days they
made thorough search of the country
without success. The parties arrested
two weeks ago helped to plan the
hold but are not the principals in
the case. The names of the latter are,
however known and they are said to be
the same parties that robbed Hon.
Tom Comstock some time ago. The
country where they are hiding is very
mountainous and the people living there
who are not friendly to the outlaws are
afraid TO give the officers any inform
alton for fear of being waylaid by the
friends of the outlaws. This makes it
very hard for the officers to get on their
trail.

Waiting For Spring.


From the Fort Smith Times
Deputy United States Marshal Charles
Lamb, who is just from trip to the
Cherokee Country, and who has had
considerable experience hunting crimi-
nails from this court, was seen by a
Times man yesterday afternoon.
Among other things the deputy ventured
the opinion that with the coming of
spring the condition of things in the
Greek and Cherokee Nations would be
something akin to that which existed
during the reign of the Cook gang two
years ago. The Christian gang, which
for several months has been on the
scout, is reported as getting themselves
in readiness for work and are only
awaiting the coming of spring that they
may the better be in a position to avoid
the pursuit which must necessarily
follow the commission of a robbery like
anything ON large scale.
At present they haunt the secluded
spots in what is known as ''timbered
bottoms, southeast of Muscogee, and
because they have not engaged in any
raids of late no determined effort has
been made to effect their capture.
Buck Weightman, the outlaw who
obtained some degree of notoriety from
his supposed connection with Bill Cook,
when that worthy carried things with
high hand, has nothing in common with
the Christian gang but with couple of
negroes who up to the present time have
not been guilty of any serious offenses,
are also said to be awaiting the
opening of spring in order that they
may reap rich harvest in the occupa
ton at which, up to the present time,
he has met with success.
1t is thought that the sudden end that
came to the Cook gang had much to do
with the general quiet which prevailed
in the outlaw classes last year, but time
having worn away many of the terrors
of capture and Imprisonment they have
mustered up courage anew and will
make their presence felt in substantial
way ere long.
If this be true, Col. Crump 8 deputies
are to be given another chance to display
their old time courage and ability in
dealing with bands of desperadoes.
