THE WAYCR0SS SENSATION.
ANOTHER ARREST MADE FOR
ROBBERY OF CARS.

w. A. HoweIIs. Air Brakes Man and
Geo. +. Gilbert, Arrested-A Large
Quantity of Valuable Goods Found
Under Clubhouse on His Premises
and Quantity of Hams in His
House-GiIbert Produces Bill OF
Goods From Jacksonville.
Waycross, Ga, Feb. 21.-Another
chapter has been added to the story
given in yesterdays dispatches to the
Morning News regarding the syste-
matte robbery of Plant Systems
freight cars at this point, which it is
claimed has been going on for years.
A second arrest was made this morn
ing by Detective William Shannon, and
w. A. Howell, air brakes man, the
next man in authority under George
F. Gilbert, was turned over to County
Sheriff T. j.. Mcclellan. 1t appears
that there is some rather damaging
evidence against Howell. 1t is as
serted that a lot of goods of all de-
scriptions were found in his possession,
and much of the stuff is identified as
goods lost by the Plant System.
Out in back yard of Howell's resi-
dence was an old clubhouse or barn,
beneath the floor of which was con-
cealed nearly a wagon load of goods,
such as pocket knives, table cutlery,
fine razors, pistols guns, etc. Among
the goods was a fine combination gun
which the railroad company is said to
have already paid for, it having
RhnnLxad mn eIA In, oh NAt,f
months ago. A quantity of hams were
also found in the mans house.
1t appears that there was a sort of
trap door beneath which the articles
were hidden.
Howell was required to give a bond
of $3.50, for his appearance at the April
term of Superior Court. The bond was
given in a short time and he was re-
leased from custody.
Detective Shannon who has succeed
ed in unearthing this business, said to-
day that he was not near the bottom
yet. He claims that there are a num-
Der of others implicated in the affair,
and that before it is done with there,
will be some big surprises.
According to his statement this thing
has been going on here for ten years
or more. and the Plant System officials
have been unable to catch up with the
parties.
1t seems that the cars which have been
tapped, are those going through con-
tanning through freight Mr.. Shannon
says that the cars were reported in
perfect condition at this point, and the
seals were broken later, the gas
lifted, the cars re-sealed, and it would
be two or three days before
the theft was discovered, being found
out after the car had reached its des-
tination.
Various detectives have tried their
hands at it, but it remained for Mr.
Shannon to do the work.
Mr.. Gilbert returned from Jackson
vile last night and re-affirms his
statement that he will be able to prove
his innocence at the proper time. Mr..
Howell claims the same thing. Mr..
Gilbert brought back a bill for goods
and an affidavit to the effect that the
articles found on his person night be-
fore last were bought in that city.

OUTLAW BAND WIPED OUT.
One Killed and Two Captured OF
Gang That Killed Two Oklahoma
SheriffS,

Sberifs.
Guthrie, Okla, Feb. 21.--A fight oc-
Cured to-day between Oklahoma Off
GERS and the band of outlaws that
killed Sheriffs Smith and Beck at An
adarko a month ago, As a result one
of the outlaws, Walter Swofford, is
dead and Deputy Sheriff w. A. Jones
of Asher, Okla. is seriously wounded.
The snow enabled a posse, ander Sher-
if Miner of Shawnee, Okla, TO trail
the outlaws to an isolated house south
of Wewoka, l. T. AS the posse APP
preached the outlaws, three in num-
Der, came from the house and opened
fire on the officers. The fire was re-
turned and for several minutes the
battle waged. Deputy Sheriff Jones
was shot by Swofford, who had opened
the fight. When Jones fell, the OFF,
GERS turned their attention to Swof-
ford and he was pierced by several
bullets and killed instantly After the
battle had continued several minutes
longer the other two outlaws, Sam
Casey and Bill Watson, surrendered.
Watson is said to be a fugitive from
Kentucky on a murder charge. Offers
of $4,000 of rewards for the capture
of the three men were outstanding.
