gestion of Agent Hollinger of the Mis-
souri, Pacific who identified him as 8
man named Ira Terrell who broke jai
at Guthrie, where he was held for muir.
der. was taken to the county Jail last
evening for safe keeping, as the Off
GERS are Of the opinion that he is des-
perate man, and they do not wish to
take any chances with him.
In response TO a telegram informing
the Guthrie officials Of Terrelps arrest
Chief Robertson yesterday received a
message stating that Terrell was want
ed there and that after being convicted
of manslaughter he broke jail and es-
capped The message also said that Off
GERS would be sent here to identify
him They are expected today.
It was learned from Mr. Hollinger
yesterday that Terrell was at one time
a representative to the Oklahoma leg
| islature and that the crime for which
he is wanted was the killing Of man
who beat him out OF q fine claim in Ok
lahoma
A man named Thorp, who resides here
and who claims to be personally &C
| quainted with Terrell, visitel the pris-
oner at the calaboose yesterday, and
after looking at the man said he was
not Terrill
Mr.. Hollinger Is positive, however,
that the prisoner Is Terrell and last
evening the prisoner was again posi-
lively identified BY Alderman Bucker-
! idge Of Wichita, who was passing thro'
| the city enroute TO St Louis
He was personally acquainted with
Terrell in Wichita and as the Missouri
| Pacific train stops here to change en-
| gineS and crews, Mr.. Buckeridge had
| plenty of time to go to the calaboose to
| see the prisoner He says he recogniz-
cyl Terrell the moment he saw him,
He stepped up to the prisoner and
| greeted him with q hello Terrell" The
! prisoner drew back and replied, Ter
rell who?" IRA Terrell of Wichita,
who broke Jail at Guthrie" replied Mr.
Buckeridge. But the fellow still de-
MED his identity and refused to recog-
niZe the man who claimed acQuaintan-
ship:
Mr. Buckeridge was also we'll ac-
Quainted with TerrelPs wife and family
and when the woman and children with
whom the prisoner was talking when
| arrested, were described he did not
| hesitate to say that they were Mrs.
Terrell and her children
He said that Terrell Is a dangerous
and desperate man, and that he was
greatly surprised that he was arrested
so easily or that he was caught IN
armed.
Mr. Buckeridge also informed the Of
ficers here that there was a large re-
ward offered for Terrelrs arrest.
After Mr.. Buckeridge had gone the
prisoner asked for lawyer and seemed
more uneasy than he was before since
his arrest. He was taken to the county
| jail last evening for safe keeping.
If he proves the right man, which at
| present there seems but little doubt
and there is any reward for his arrest,
1t will evidently be paid TO Officer
Copes and Agent HOllinger.
Dick Sherman, a brakeman on the
Missouri Pacific road. who resides here
but who formerly resided at Guthrie,
also knows Terrell and will go to the
Jail this morning for the purpose of
identifying the prisoner.
