MATTOX IS CAPTURED
Police Arrest Him at Los An
geIeS, California.
WENT BY NAME OF JONES
ConfesSes That He is MattOx
But Won't Talk Much.
WENT BY NAME OF JONES

A dispatch from Los Angeles, Cal. says
that the police there have arrested a man
who has gone uader the name OF Frank
Jones. but who confesses that he Is Clyde
Mattox and Is wanted at Newkirk, o. r,
for murder. The sheriff at Newkirk tele
graphed the chief Of police at Los Angeles
that a saGchel had been sent addressed
10 Frank Jones and that the suspected
Jones was Mattox. Wren Jones was AZ
rested he admitted the fact. Mattox re-
fused to talk about his crime.
Clyde Mattox is known to have killed
four men and has been accused of a fifth
murder. Though under thirty years OF
age, he Is notorious throughout southern
Kansas and Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory as a man killer.
In 1889, when but 19 years old, Mattox
was a member Of the police force at South
Oklahoma City, when dispute arose over
the city maEshalshAp. John Howard, the
town marshal, had refused TO surrender
the ONCE to the marshals elected. The
latter employed Mattox 10 gain possession
of the Office and Mattox carried the day
by shooting and killing Howard. He was
acquitted, however, on a plsauof self-de-
tense.
On December Il, the same year, after
he had been made deputy United States
marshal, Mattox, while drunk, murdered
a negro who resented remarks made by
Afattox to a colored woman who was
passing along the street He was tried
for this crime and sentenced to hang,
but secured a new trial and while out on
bail he shot and killed another negro who
had witnessed the previous killing.
After this, while still on bail, he went
hunting into the Seminole country with
a white man who had been a witness to
the killing OF the second negro. After
ward nothing was ever heard OF this
white man.
Upon his second triad for the killing OF
the first negro, Mattox was convicted and
sentenced TO be hanged. He broke jail
here. but was recaptured and taken to the
federal penitentiary at Leayenworth.

sentence TO life imprisonment. and year

Bessie Bayne May Die of Re-
sultant Injuries.
CLOTHING CAUGHT FIRE
Caught While Running Fran
tically in the Wind.

Bessie Bayne, "A years old. who lives
with her father and sisters at 14zS South
Water street. was horribly and probably
fatally burned at o'clock yesterday
afternoon after having tried to start a IRE
in the cook stove by aid Of gasoline. The
gasoline ignited and exploded IN the can
which she held in her hands. and in a mo-
ment she was enveloped in flames Her
flesh was badly burned about the hlps'
abdomen, breast and both arms, until 1t
would slough on at the slightest touch.
DR.. Kirkwood was called to attend the
sufferer, and he said last night that the
girls injuries were dangerously severe.
Mrs. Brunson of East Douglas avenue
was the first person to see the girl. She
was riding in from the races on her
wheel, and just as she passed the Bayne
home she saw something resembling
streak of flames running around the
house. and dismounting she noticed Bes-
sic Bayne turn the corner Of the house
and then heard her screams Mrs. Brun-
son ran back and met the girl. BY this
time she was suffering terribly and her
screams were most pitiful. Mrs. Brunson
grabbed her but she broke away, SEEM
ingIy crazed with fright and pain. Mrs.
Brunson caught her again and threw her
down. She hurriedly Jerked the clothes
off the girL Another woman had arrived
by this time and they cared for her as
best they could until the doctor arrived.

nearest physician on Mrs Brunson's
wheel
A pitifuI story Is related in connection
with the accident. While the two women
were working with the girl she chung to
the necks OF one of them, thinking IL was
her mother and talked to her of her
pain. The girls mother died suddenly
Just q month ago. and the tender sympa-
thy and care extended to her came from
another source.
From the best Information obtainable
there was no one In the house at the
time of the accident, but previous to this
| time the little girl had been discussing
| with her sisters whether to use the gaso-
| line stove or the cook stove for cooking
| supper. II was decided 10 use the cook
| stove When the time arrived to begin
supper the girl picked up the gasoline car
and poured q small quantity in the stove
| There were a few smouldering Goals in
| the stove which ignited the gasoline like
| a fash.

sisters are keeping house and they arC
said TO be a very neat and industriou:
family.

the injuries. though very dangerous
might not prove fatal. 1t luckily hap
pened that the little girls face was no
much burned. which will be a blessing
should she get well, as she is described a.

Lieutenant Haines OF the Fifth United
States cavalry, and Corporal E. W.
Slusher, arrived from Hutchinson last
night. and as previously printed In the

o'clock this morning. Corporal Slusher
said last night that they had not select

a number OF young men who will take
the examination today. The examination
will be unusually severe as to health, on
account OF the liability to sickness In the
tropical country Of the Philippines.
Lieutenant Haines- says the term Of SER
vice is for the period including June 80,
1871. Applicants for enlistment IN these
regiments must be between the ages Of
IS and IS. Married men cannot enlist

FRISCO'S FIRST RUN
Into Northern Oklahoma will be Made
Today

Today the Frisco railroad makes its
first regular run into northern Oklahoma
territory. All the Frisco officials here
last evening were jubilant in anticipation
of the first step southwark from this ter
ritory. The new branch which Is being
extended to Blackwell from Arkansas
City. has reached Peckham, fifteen miles
south of the Kansas state line, and today
the trains will begin to run regularly from
Beaumont, east of Wichita, to Peckham.
This places Wichita wholesale merchants
in closer connection with another piece
OF territory. Peckham. which is temper
arily the terminus. pending the compile
ton Of the new line to Blackwell. Is a
lively little place and will boom. The
Frisco Is becoming an Oklahoma road. Its
branch from Sapulpa runs into Oklo-
homa and there is talk OF extension from
that point into the west Now it has
penetrated the great wheat country OF the
strip and will probably continue on
through to a connection with the Okla
homa City branch.
