have been received from Sheriff Lake and
his prisoner. Frank Edwards, who left last
night while application for another writ OF

protesting against the issuance OF the writ
before Judge Surratt In chambers pending
| the arrival OF the amended warrant from
| Austin. when word cauie from the sheriff s
Office that the Oklahoma sheriff had receiv
ed the papers and had gone with his pris-
oner.
The proceedings IN chambers were, Of
course suddenly terminated, and believing
that proper respect had not been shown the

tive warrant was found to be defective
Sheriff Lake went before the justice OF the
peace and made complaint against Ed
wards for being a fugitive from justice.
Upon this complaint Edwards was arrested
and his examination was fixed for Monday

sci for the State that while II case was
pending before n Justice for examination
