AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
Sheriff Johnson Shot In the Foot
 and Man He Wanted Got Away.

Friday night Sheriff X. w. Johnson and Deputy Marshal T. II. Jones pre- pared to attempt the capture of supposed counterfeiter, and they stop- ped at Hills fruit stand and secured a 32caliber Winchester. which was talk en in charge by thel sheriff. The two officers then went down the railroad track Tn quest of the man sought. Near the south end of the switch yards stop was made and Sheriff Johnson rested the mnzzle of the gun on his right foot for moment, when it was fired, the ball almost sever ing his third toe. The wounded man was brought to the court room on switch engine and the wound dressed by Dr. Webb.
 It IS supposed that the hammer of sheriff obtained it at the fruit stand, and an accidental touch of the trigger did the rest. The officers congratulate themselves that the accident was not more serious.
 Sheriff Johnson expects to go to his home to-day to await recovery from his wound.
 Deputy Sheriff Cunningham took up the search for the alleged criminal, but on arriving at the place where he was supposed to be found he was too late.

THE ROBBERS QUICKLY CAUGHT.
Story of the Capture of the Train
 Robbers.

The Ft Smith Times says in part:
 Immediately after the robbery, a telegram was sent Postoffice Inspector Houk, who with Spade Lee, took the morning train for Poteau
 Lee was sent to some mines in the Cavenaugh mountains and he secured a clue to the identity of the robbers and started back to Poteau. to meet Inspector Houk and Marshal Copeland and posse.
 They then went to the scene of the holdup and visited boarding house near by. There they found John Peter son, and he was placed under arrest and the premises searched. They found some old clothing wet and mud dy and pair of lately worn shoes, the left one having large hole in the side, all filling the description of the clothing and shoes worn by one of the robbers as given by the engineer. Peterson finally admitted the clothing was his, but denied he had anything to do with the holdup
 The landlady stated that the men had left her place early in the night of the holdup and did not return until time for breakfast. They were wet and muddy.
 While the officers were yet at this place, farmer came along and said that about three fourths of mile from there he saw two men in the brush who acted suspiciously.
 The posse surrounded the brush patch and the two robbers were dis covered and lively fight immediately began. After exchanging many shots with the posse, the robbers made a dash and reached another thicket and when followed, retreated. firing all the time at the officers
 The running fight continued for about mile and half, when the robbers exhausted their ammunition, threw away their guns and hid them selves in the brush. They were soon found and surrendered.
 The men gave their names as Jno. Burns and Jim Tate. Burns is an Irishman, Tate is from Kentucky, while Peterson is a Swede. All are

The leader then ran the engine and cars attached about 300 yards, stopped and made Engineer hodman go with him and he got sack of dynamite that was lying by the track Then they got on engine and ran two miles and stopped again.
 During this run and the stops and starts the leader of the robbers showed the utmost familiarity with the work Ing of the engine and the terms used by railroad men, suggesting to En- gineer Ro1man at one time that he had better put on the injector' All were very jolly and good natured, the leader asking for a chew of tobacco. Rodman told him he did not chew, but offered smoking tobacco, and reply was made they did not have time for that.
 When the train was stopped, the leader told the Geposed engineer to get off and get the men out of the cars, all following closely. The mail clerk was gotten out and searched by the robbers.
 Express Messenger D. II. Patterson was next called out and searched, but nothing secured. The leader then took Mir. Patterson into his'ca first order ing that if shot was fired the en- gineer and mail clerk were to be killed at once. The safe was opened by the messenger, but nothing was found.
 The mail clerk was then taken to his car and it was searched, and S belonging to the clerk was secured, and one registered letter, the only one in the car. The messenger and clerk were ordered into their cars and the engineer to his engine. when he was told to go and get his train. Just as he started, he was stopped and the leader said: Your partner (meaning the fireman) hss my lamp, and it's a good one. Give me yours" This Mr. Rodman did, tolu them good night and the robbers gave the signal to back up.
 In all he train was delayed one hour and fifty minutes.

Their Punishment Great Enough.


 In 1895 Hudgins brothers had a team of mules stolen from Dallas, and the crime was laid to Will Shelby. The thief was pressed so hard in try ing to get away that he finally killed the animals, but succeeded in making his escape He and his brother, Frank, were afterwards arrested tor another crime in the Indian Territory and sentenced to the United States prison at Leavenworth. They have been pardoned by President Mckinley, to take effect July 30.
 Interested parties here learned of the pardon and communicated with the Leavenworth officials with the intention of bringing them here for the old crime, but tbey learn from that source that Will. the man accused of stealing and killing the mules, is hope lessly insane, and that his brother Frank has been pardoned to care for him. They will for that reason drop the case.
