SLAYER OF FAMILY
BELIEVED CAUGHT
Cleve Harris is Being Held in
Wyoming; Sheriff In
vestigates.

Out of the long reaches OF the past
the commission of n crime which
startled Tulsa years ago came to mem
Dry again yesterday with the an
pouncement from Casper, Wyo., that
Cleve Harris had been captured.
The message came to the police who
turned 1t over to the shcriff's office.
Wires were set working at once to
identify the man IL possible, before
"trip is made for him.
The crime OF which Harris stands
charged in the courts here Is the mur-
der of his wife and infant child on
October /, 1908.
Harris was married to the daughter
of c. A. Owen. former pioneer citizen
of Tulsa county. Trouble arose over
certain property which the woman
owned and which Harris wished to
convert into money, 1t Is said. A
separation resulted.
On the evening before the day Of
the murder. Harris is said to have
gone to the home which he had left
some weeks before. His wife, evident
ly fearing him. spent that night with
a neighbor. Harris concealed himself
in the attic,
Tie next morning the wife, carry
ing the child, came home. Harris
upon she ran across the yard toward
the house of a neighbor. He fired,
killing both
Harris made his escape by fleeing
into the brakes along the river west
of the city He effected quick
flight by forcing an aged man whom
he met to let him have horse and
buggy.
Since that time several false alarms
have come in regarding his capture,
and scarcely n sheriff has held Of
flee without making two or three
trips to investigate the reports.
BY singular coincidence, IL the man
captured proves to be Harris, the
prosecution will be conducted partly
at least. and probably directed by AS
sistant County Attorney Williams. who
was with the county attorneys office
at the time OF the murder.

AUSTIN. Texas. Sept. 25.-Former
Gov James r. Ferguson, who was inn
peached and disqualified from holding

he does not propose to be eliminated

tonight that Mr.. Ferguson filed his
resignation as governor with the sec
retary of state Monday evening, about
twenty-four hours before the senate
finally acted on the impeachment
matter.

"In order that | might have suf-
ficient time and proper opportunity 10

for the office of governor of Texas for

II was denied the right to question
the senator's as to prejudices against
me or even to object to my political

ment of my case" Ferguson states In
his resignation. "In other words,
the former chief executive said, "the

same chance of securing an impartial
jury as Is given to a niger crap
shooter or Niger bootlegger.'
Just what legal questions are in.
