SURF-RIDERs MEET
WITH ACCIDENT

Two surf-riders, riding on a
board towed behind the Miss
Spokane, were thrown into the
lake off East Point Sunday. The
accident happened when the
Miss Spokane" met the Georgia
Cakes on her trip down the river,
the swells from the latter boat
proving too much for the riders.
Life Preservers were thrown over
board from the Miss Spokane and
the boat then circled back and
picked up the surf-riders none
the worse for their experience
except for their wetting. The Red
Collar Line is putting on many
added attractions for its passen-
gers and as a result the excur-
sions up the river are increasing
in popularity.

agitator will be arrested, where
ever he is found.
All freight trains will be stop
ped and searched whenever they
cross the state or county lines.
All industrial camps will be
cleaned under the state sanitary
law.

We have seen how William E. John
sons sensational raid of the Monte
Carlo establishment in mo Mans
Land" by Lewis, Killion and Para
disc, resulted in the murder by Kill
lion of Carr, marshal at Caney, Kan,
and in Killion's being sentenced to a
life term in the penitentiary. The
next tragedy that was to develop out
of this affair came swiftly. After his
release from the short tenn of i'm
prisonment which was melted out to
Lewis, the King" of No Mans Land,
he vowed vengeance on Johnson and
Keller, the deputy who had aided in
the raid, and sent word that he would
shoot them at sight. In the mean
while he set up a livery stable at
Bartleyville.
Lewis had had a worse career than
his confederate Killion. Some four
teen years previously he had been
implicated in the last train robbery
that was committed in the Cherokee
Strip. A portion of the booty was
traced to him, and Deputy Marshal

still carries the bullet.
Then there was Randolph W. Car

who was shot in the back and killed
The murderer was fellow named
Stephenson, whose place Carthey had
helped wreck previously. The dead
officers body lay in state in the little
Methodist church for two days before
it was laid away; then the people held
an indignation meeting in the opera
house, and every bootlegger in the
district had to fly for his life.
In the month Of August occurred a
pitched battle at Sasakwa, Okla, which
resulted in the death of two more Of
Johnson's band. Between Sasakwa
and the Oklahoma border is a strip of
country inhabited chiefly by the Off
spring of Seminoles and negroes,
known as Seminole niggers. After
Johnson had shut off the railroad traf-
fic a band of these men formed an
express wagon system, carrying
whisky over the country.
Securing the aid of several city mar
shals, Johnson set out upon regular
campaign. He sent Harvey De Hart
from Thrace with an armed posse to
lie in wait along the route, and three
prisoners were brought in, together
with rs gallons of whisky and team
of horses. The liquor was destroyed,
and the horses were confscated and
sold.
Soon afterward John Morrison, who
divided his time as Johnson's deputy
and as village marshal for Sasakwa
received news of gang near the
settlement, which was said to have
robbed a post Office safe. He set out
in pursuit of them, and, on the way,
encountered another officer. The two
men decided to wait in ambush until
the negroes returneN, as it was evil
dent that they were on the way to
Violet, a town just across the Okla
liquor. On their return the two Off
GERS stepped into the road and or
dered the men to halt. The negroes
whipped UP their team, and one of
them, swinging round, shot Morrison,
killing him instantly.
AS soon as the news became known
a posse was formed and set out in
pursuit. A regular battle followed,
resulting in the death Of l.. P. Dixon
Of Shawnee, and of bootlegger.
Finally the gang was rounded up and
the leaders were captured and placed
in Jail.
1t was in the town of Chelsea that
the rufians nearly got Johnson. He
had entered the "joint" of a man
named Edmondson with Deputy Lowe,
but, as the crowd was very threaten
ing in its demeanor, he left Lowe out
side to hold the door, and went into
the barroom alone, in his customary
manner. He smashed the liquor and
