The Ponca City Courier reporter saw
Oscar Taylor at his farm west of the
city. He said that yesterday (4th)
morning Clyde was at his house and
had slept with one OF his men. He
got up with the family at six o'clock
and ate breakfast. Taylor went out
to hitch up his driving horse saying
he was going to Kaw to get pair Of
collars. Clyde said he would like to
go along as far as town. He told his
mother that he was going to Oklahoma
City and not to look for him for few
days. On the way TO town he told
Taylor that he had gotten into some
trouble and would like to go by the
town to let it blow over before he
went back. So they drove along with
out coming to town. They drove
through Cross publicly and were seen
by several. They passed through Kill
dare ana drove east abou. six miles
where they net Marshal Seng and
Jailer Ward in the road face to face.
When he saw them Clyde held two
cooked revolvers pointed under the
lap robe and the officers saw them.
They allowed them to pass. Taylor
insisted that Clyde should get out but
he refused and demanded that he be
driven across the river. Taylor drove
him across the river and near Charley
Clark's place Clyde jumped out and
disappeared in the woods.

The Important Events of Every
Part of the Territory.
CLYDE MATTOX RECOMES AFUCITIyE
Murderer M.t,o1 Escapes

Ponca City Courier: Every report
coming from the pursuers of Mattox
conflicts with every other report. Of
ficers Jennings and Frey drove into
Ponca City about seven o'clock last
Wednesday, evening. They were ac-
compani led by Oscar Taylor who had
Kaw country Neither officer would
give anything positive but both gave
the inference that Clyde had been
met and vanquished. The Courier has
information, however, which is entire
ly reliable that Mattox made a get
away of 1t. The straight of the story
is hard to get at beyond this, but that
Clyde made his escape is certain.
At Nswkirk, Marshal SeDg told
friends that he had killed Cyde with a
double-barreled shot gun, and he gave
been wounded also. Sheriff Pierce
was in close consultat ton at $50 with
County Attorney Pinkham, and it is
currently rumored that other arrests
will be made. Pierce is very mysteri-
GUS and will tell next TO nothing
about the case. Whether he and his
posse saw Clyde or not is question,
though they were not very far behind
him when he entered the Kaw coun-
try. The officers try to leave the inn
preston that il they did not get him
they can put their hands on him at
any time. This is probably let out to
hide discom fiture at failure in making
the capture.
This escape is one OF the boldest and
most successful in modern annals.
Mattox stayed in the immediate vicini-
ty of the trouble all night, and in the
morning as late as eight o'clock, when
everybody was stirring, he starts out,
meeting people Dlong the road who
knew his face well. He did not avoid
the public highways, but followed the
most travelled road and went through
Kildare, n good sized town with tele-
phone connections three directions and
officers at each end watching for news
of him. He passed several officers
looking for hun, and finally, after q
drive of l6 miles through thickly
settled country, and passing officers
who were lying in wait for him, he
succeeded in reaching poiut where
he eluded all pursuit. All this in
broad daylight.

minutes.
The kidneys strain OF filter out the

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets iniamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal con
dltion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
