Oklahoma City Times journal: IL was
with universal regret that the death Of
| Officer Jackson was heard In this city
| He was sober, industrious and honest
man and a faithful and conscientious
peace officer de was cruelty and bru-
tally shot down while endeavorlng TO dis
charge his duty, and although receiving
a wound that rarely PERMITS escape from
| death, he struggled bravey on for three
long months before he suceumbed. The
hard struggle he made after receiving his
crual wounds appealed 10 public sym
| pathy quite as strongly as his br avery at
the time he was wounded.
Perry Supper Bell: Everybody in Perry
knows A. 5. Cades, the second hand man
He has pretty wife whom he welded
| iusta few weeks since. Last night ne re-
ceived the following note, which almost
made him crazy: "a. s. Cades-War has
been declared between the United States
and Spain You have been drafted for
con- pany II OF Perry. Report at once for
Smith Rosenbaum, Com" After re-
cel1ing the note he ran into Captain
Jones Office and said: "Oh, can't leave
my Sadie; | Just can't" and then begged
for time. Cades is all right lie has a
| pretty wife and Governor Barnes ought
nOf let him leave her.
United States MarshRls w. ID. Fossett,
| Boo Myers and Harry l.. Ardery came up
| fran Guthrie this morning bringing a
gtnH OF criminals from the federal jail.
| TteY were enToute To PAWhuska for trial
before Judge b. Il. Hainer. They secured
| three two seated vehicles here 10 trans
port the party across the long sixty five
mil0s 10 the Usage capital. Among the
prisoners were VIM Paden, charged with
hcTse stealing; Frank Starr, same
charge; ChRs. LRFOrce, same; Bud
tn ;heT, whisky selling; Geo. Lane, same I;
Johnnie BRAY, cattle stealing; Ed Ellis,
for murder, and few others for small
cri mes. The marshals we're armed to the
tee tn and would be able TO resist almost
| anf kind OF an attack. The principal
danger 10 be feared would be concerted
away from the officers. At places the
rOhd passes for miles without a hakita-
ton and through lonely and wooded de-
hles. A surprise would be comparatively
al easy matter unless the officers were
all the time on their guard. Chief Fos-
se't was the man who last week killed
West, the desperate, while trying TO ar
rest him near Guthrie. He is good
deputy and brave man.
