YOUTHFUL DEsPERADoEs.
Are Brought to Guthrie by Sheriff
Painter for Safe Keeping.

Sheriff w. w Painter, of Comanche
county, arrived in Guthrie with the
aeatheringtons and lodged them in
the federal Jail for safe keeping.
The Hetheringtons were arrested
for holding up a drug store in a lit
tie town twelve miles east of Law
ton. They held up the druggist about
a week ago, in broad daylight and pro
cured $25 in cash. One man besides
the druggist saw the men and they
identify the Hoatheringtons as the
men who neld up the store. When
captured $50 was found upon them IN
about the same size pieces as the
money which was taken from the
druggist.
The preliminary hearing was held
yesterday before Judge Brown. They
we're identified by two men and were
bound over in the sum of $4,000 each,
which they were unable to give.
AS it became known that the two
men were in Jail several who had
been held up in the new country call
ed to see if they could identify them
AS a result, at least five persons
have identified them as the men who
had held them up.
They are young men, under twenty
nve years OF age. and their parents
now reside about midway between

boys have been engaged a part Of

Third Annual Convention Raises Ad.
ditional Funds.
The third annual convention of the
Oklahoma Anti-Saloon League met at

ing was taken up with business and
the discussion of the future policy of
the league in this territory The mis-
takes made at the last convention
erintendent and other workers to la
we're corrected in this meeting. It
seem" that the last convention put
the mater of the collecting of the
funds principally in the hands of the
local leagues and then instructed the
superintendent what to do, depending
upon the local leagues to make the
necessary collections to meet the bills
contracted by the superintendent, as
well as the superintendent salary.
The local leagues failed to arouse
themselves along this line and some
of them even used the funds thus
collected in their local work, leav-
ing the superintendent in a bad CON
dition. All this was corrected in yes
terday's meeting, by the $4,000 worth
of outstanding notes being turned ov-
er to the superintendent to collect
in. any way he thinks proper and at
the evening meeting a subscription
of nearly $500 was taken and this was
turned over to him, and he was given
entire freedom in raising the neces-
sary funds for the future.
A thorough discussion of the future
needs of Oklahoma In the matter of
better laws was had and it was unan-
imously decided to instruct the sup
