BENEFIT within ten minutes after it had
been received by the other officer. but
the copper jacket took a different course
and has thus far eiuded the efforts of sur
geons to locata it, Haines' condition is
critical and he may not long survive
to share the immense rewards offered
for The death or capture of the outlaws.
Following the battle the bodies of the
dead men were brought to Guthrie for
positive Identification ard officers and
ether citizens were summoned here from
all portions OF the territory for that pur
pose. The verdict was unanimous. The
evidence showed that the Martoin were
guilty of the robbery of the Rock Island
station at Hennessey, Oklahoma, last
spring and the murder Of one citizen
during the robbery; guilty OF the robbery
OF the postof3ce at Hopeton. Oklahoma; !;
guilty of the murder of City Marshal
Cross at Geary, Oklahoma; guilty of the
robbery OF one hundred persons innocent
wayfarers, IN the Os4se nation; guilty Of
the robbery of many citizens in Colorado;
guilty Of the attempted robbery of the
postoffice at Hennessey and Dover. Okla
hona, and guilty OF the attempted rob-
berry of the Geary, Oklahoma bank. CHI
Zens from all these places positively
identified the dead outlaws.
The Martins~ and Simmons began their
career of outlawry about ten years ago
in this county, where the parents of both
resided, honorable and respected citizens.
They began with small robberies, includ-
ing horse stealing, and in a fight with
in
numerous places. They then fed to Colo
rado, from which state they have oper-
ated back and forth their crimes growing
in cruelty and blackness. In Colorado
Sam Martin, having deserted his wife
here, married an Indian half blood Gypsy
woman, who, with an Indian buck. Joined
the outlaws and assisted in their raids.
The Ird,ars were captured by the Colo-
rado authorities but the white men es-
capped. As rule they operated close to
the state lines. mus giving them the ad-
vantage Of jumping from one state to an
other in order to escape arrest.
\ pathetic scene was the aged father
Of Simmons. the outlaw. who escaped
from the Usage fight, who came to view
the faces of the dead bandits. hoping,
perhaps that one of them would be that
of his wayward son. The father is. per-
haps. 10 years old. and as he sazed at the
face of Martin, who had accompanied his
own son in 50 many criminal raids, tears
were seen 10 course down his snnken
cheeks and wipins thsm away he left the
room, where the outlaws lay, sobbing bit
terly
The battle near Pawhuska is described
by United States Marsnei Fossett as one
Of the most resultful and daring in. the
annals cf the Scuthwes,. the outlaws be-
ing considered the most desperate and
cruel raen of their tyre since the days OF
the Doolins and the Daitons

leaeer cf an Indian nation. although he
has been in the position for 50 years. and

Heretofore his step has been as light as
6 young braves and his bearing as stately
as that Of a chief still at the head of his
warriors on the plains.
