MANY CROOKS CAUGHT.
Over One Hundred People Arrested
Eurinu CattIemen's Convention.

Oklahoma City, o. T., Feb. 1e.-Last
night the result of arrests made by the
police during the convention had accu-
mulated to such an extent that an extra
room of large proportions adjoining the
police court room was filled. in addition to
both the city and county Jails. over 100
persons constituted the grand total of
those who succumbed to rigid police sur
yillance.
This remarkable effort attests to the
record made by the city officials 10 pro-
tect the vast number of visitors during
the great convention just closed. 1t was
correctly surmised that large number
of pickpockets and toughs would come
here with the idea that there would be
good picking and in addition to an extra
force of policemen placed on special duty
several professional detectives were i'm
ported into the city. The result was that
one of the greatest harvests was made
that has ever been known in the his
tory of the territory. Yesterday the Jails
were crowded to their utmost capacity.
and a large room was arranged for the
overflow, which was also filled before
morning TODAY.

unent after the dull routine OF office work,
and excitement he certainly got.
His story about the robbery was
very plausible one. He described the nc
titious highwayman with vividness ana
told of the emotions he passed through.
What chiefly aroused suspicion was that
the express money was untouched.
THE Rock Island auditor has been left
in charge of the station. He will go over
the books and make report to the coun-
ty attorney of exactly how much money
has been taken. The auditor OF the ex-
press company is also present In Faxon
to learn whether of not the corporation
which he represents has been deprived OF
any funds.
1T is possible that Murphy will go to
the penitentiary. although his confession
may tend to tighten his sentence

DIXIE DUNBAR At APACHE.
Noted Tramp Of the Printers Craft
Visits Oklahoma.

Apache. o. T., Feb. 16.-DiXie Dunbar.
the noted tramp printer. visited here dur
ing the week and speaks of him in the
following interesting manners:
He was old and ragged. He was dirty
and he didn't have the price OF shave

Cement and ne was tired. footsore and
weary He probably has not friend in
the world and he don't know one night
if there will be a roof on his head or not
the next night. And yet he is one OF the
best known characters in the United
States today.
Go where you will; in the northiand.
in the southland in the east or in the
west; wherever there are printers, and
the name of Dixie Dunbar is as famil-
lar as that of Theodore Roosevelt or
Abraham Lincoln. 1t is one OF the names
that the printers devil learns to lisp with
awe when he first begins his career of
devilism and his name is frequently on
his lips until his earthly career is fin
ished, or until he reforms and seeks an
other vocation.
who is Dixie Dunbar? He is the last
of the Mohicans' in the printing business;
he is the king of tramps; he Is the last
of a once numerous and powerful fra
ternity of tramp prints. When he dies the
race will be extinct. True> there are
still plenty of wandering printers. but
