and Harry Frank.
All three are fugitives from justice
tonight as. although no warrants have
been sworn out for their arrest, the
officers are looking for them. They
were In town yesterday and are be-
lieved to have heard certain remarks
made by Mat Brown, father of the
dead girl, who stated that he is posi-

The history OF the case covering
a period of nearly two months, since
the girls tragic death, involves the

of the tragedy Indignation ran high

for the transfer Of the land and 1t

The Bixby banker in question adj

to change hands for $500 cash. that
the actual paying over of the money

Toe banker further declares that
at the time he made the purchase he
also bought the wifes interest for an
equal amount. making 1850 acres in
all for which he paid $1,000 cash.
Further he declares that had he not
entered into a verbal contract with
Brown on the morning of the girls
death which on that day permitted
the Indian to purchase coffin, and
eventually allowed him to secure the
land, that other citizens of Bixby
would have beaten him to IT,
