Dear Mr.. Miller:
l am in receipt of your letter OF

community is in favor of giving Col
onel Roosevelt authority to raise q
volunteer army for service in France.
You may have noticed by this time
that on Saturday, my motion to re-
commit tR bill to the conference
committee with instructions to agree
to the Senate's Roosevelt amendment
carried by a vote of 215 to 178, and
it now looks like the Colonel would
receive the authorization of Con
gress to raise his volunteer forces. I
am advised that he has received and
recorded in his headquarters IN New
York, the names of 100000 appli-
Fcants, already, so it is evident the
cOlunteer spirit is not dead IN this
county by any means.
With best wishes, I am

ago, when Joe shot rival for girTs
favor at a country dance.
t Two years ago complaints were
made to county authorities that Dave
and Joe were rustling cattle from
farmers. Warrants for their arrests
were issued, but the arrests were not
made for the reason that the boys
could not be located.
Then followed the report that Dave
Smith and Cole Shoemaker had enter.
ed the drug store at Porum and robbed
1t. This time the officers found their
men, brought them to this city and the
trial ended with sentence of both to
seven years III state prison. In en-
gineering the escape in March last,
Dave Smith entered the Jail runway
and, awaiting moment when a guard
named Payne turned his back, dealt
him blow with flatiron.
Payne was left for dead and Smith,
Shoemaker and Will Burnett. another
prisoner, fastened into the jailor's of.
flee, beat him down, seized guns and
fled. Outside the Jail they seized bug.

where they took three race horses and
escaped to the Warner Bottoms. Shoe
maker was recaptured after being
wounded, and Burnett, whose where
about3 was disclosed by farmers, was
also returned to Jail. Smith has not
since been a prisoner.
Nothing but suspicion exists upon
which to hang the charge that Dave
and Joe Smith were members of the
gang of eight men who recently held
up the Katy train at Onapa, hut every
officer who has had part in the In
vestig gltion entertains no doubt that
they were, and that the express COM
pany so believes is shown by the Of
fer of $500 reward for each of the
brothers.
There also is talk that the boys
have committed some of the. hank rob
heries, which have so aroused people
Of the state that the legislature enact
ed a law offering specific rewards for
capture of that class of criminal, but,

Officers of Four Counties Engaged In
Continuous Search and Expect
No Easy Capture

Muskogee, Ok.-Officers of Musko-
gee, Mcintosh, Haskell and Sequoyah
counties are conducting an almost con.
tinuous search for joe and Dave Smith
brothers and alleged contenders for
the "bad men" championship
For each of them there is outstand.
ing reward Of $500, offered by the
American Express Co., on suspicion
that they were principals in the M. K.
G T. train robbery at Onapa, Ok, and
Sheriff ]. S. Barger has also offered
reward of $10O for Dave. who broke
Jail here after a jury had sentenced
him and Cole Shoemaker to serve
terms of seven years each in the peni-
tentiary for robbing drug store at
Porum of less than $50, the druggist
being severely beaten.
1t has come to pass that almost ev-
cry crime committed in this section Of
Oklahoma is credited to the Smith
brothers, and this Is generally accept.
ed as fact by the officers for the sim
pie reason that there seems to be moth
ing for the fugiuves to do but dodge
officers and live from day to day 1
the fruit of law violations. So far as
can be ascertained, the boys have net
slept in a bed since the night Dave
escaped from the Muskogee Jail. They
IRE believed to be on horseback every
day, sometimes eating at their own
campfire of game they have killed, at
others in the house of someone whom
they know will not betray them.
In the way of ammunition and CLOTH
ing, the Smiths are believed to have
sufficient to last them for years. Re-
Gently a store at Webber's Falls was
robbed, large lot of ammunition and
clothing being taken. The Smiths are
held to have dcle the job.
But the officers trailing Dave and
Joe Smith are not fearing surprise by
them and violent death or injury. Thav
are convinced the fugitives are guided
by purpose to evade the law and not %
add to their difficulties the charge of
killing an officer or posseman. 1t is
the belief of Sheriff Barger that should
= lone officer encounter the brothers
he would be well treated, probably fad
and entertained with account OF some
lively experiences, but they would not
harm him unless attempt were made 10
force them to surrender. No one, SO far
as known, entertains an idea that the
boys will become prisoners unless SUI
prised and overwhelmed or without
being beaten in shooting match.
Dave and Joe Smith are Muskogee
county products. They hail from the
southeastern part Of the county and
and are said to be related to most Of
the denizens of the Kiamichi Noun
tain region. They are sons of Famous
Smith, who himself had record for
killing men, not as a murderer, but
because he reached them before they
could get 10 him, so that his plea of
self defense always had foundation.
The first charge of violence regis
tered against the Smith brothers, 81
Jar as is recalled, arose several years
