DEPUTY WOUNDS HIM.
His Arm Was Hit Just as He Fired
His Cur

Mountain View. o. T.. July 1.-THE
Progress relates that J. c. Bourlind. dep
uty sheriff from Anadarko, made an ar
rest at the Hughes place Tuesday even
ing of one Jim Lewis, alias Even. who
is supposed to have committed a bank
robbery and murder in Joplin, Mo. Soon
after the arrest was made the prisoner
attempted to escape by running towards
a corn field, when he was shot by the
officer through the left lung, making
somewhat serious, though not necessarily
fatal, wound.
Bourlind says he first aimed at the
prisoner legs when shooting at him and
would not have struck his chest, had
not woman, said to be Lewis daugh-
ter. struck his arm and thus caused
the ball to pass higher.
Lewis is said to be the father of the
boy by the same name who 1t will be re-
membered, assisted a number of years
ago in the robbery of W. II. Y. Yates
store at Oakdale and afterward commit
ted a robbery and murder in Wichita
Falls, Tex. where he was later hanged
by a mob.

with him was TO the effect that the bonds
had to be approved by his attorneys,
and he put up a bond Of $3.50 that he
would take the bonds and put in the
system, providing the bonds were legal.
The illegal part of the bonds. he says.
was in the school census. Mr.. Cook re-
quested that his d,s,osit be returned TO
him and the city council complied with
his request.
The council has decided to send a man
east with the bonds to find buyer for
from $4,000 TO $4,000 of them and then
put in system to the amount the bonds
bring. There are several propositions
stating that the bonds can be disposed
Of below par, but it is not the intention
to let them go that way unless abso-
lutely necessary.
