and MuskOgee, Johnson heard cas-
ual remark dropped which led him to
believe that the fugitives were still
near Eufaula. He got off the train at
the next stopping place. and started
out alone in southeasterly direction,
until he arrived, late in the afternoon,
at a ferry station on the Canadian
river. Just before he reached this
place he met a bootlegger in rig,
conveying a two-gallon jar of whisky.
Johnson let him pass. He was in
search of larger game, and the we'll
trained hound never abandons his first
quarry to take up another trail. Be-
ing tenacious sleuth, Johnson prob
ably went after him and got him
later.
The ferryman had just returned
after conveying the bootlegger across.
During the voyage small quantity
of liquid refreshment had passed from
the mouth of the jar into the ferry
mans, and had unloosened the mans
tongue en- route to its destination.
Johnson began chatting with the man
and soon elected the fact that Harris
and his stepdaughter were encamped
at place about three miles on the
opposite bank of the stream, where
they had been with some others for
period of about ten days.
Il am authorized to arrest them"
said Johnson. 81 want you to come
with me and help"
"Sure," answered the ferryman,
"only I haven't got gum"
That didn't faze Johnson. He re-
mounted his horse and rode across
country until he came to farmers
house. Rapping at the door, he asked
the man to lend him shotgun. The
farmer, not knowing Johnson, and
doubtless scared by the formidable
appearance of such barrel of man,
refused in loud tones of anger.
Johnson remounted and began rid
ing away. No doubt he would have
continued his journey without the fer
ryman's aid, but, as luck would have
it, he encountered visitor riding up
to the farmers house, who proved to
be Mr.. Porter, lawyer of Eufaula.
Johnson knew him very well, for Por-
ter had recently defended druggist
whose safe Johnson had smashed in
with sledge-hammer in order to get
the whisky which was concealed in
side.
However, Mr.. Porter bore Johnson
no ill-will, and, on learning of the
big mans situation. returned with
him and identified him to the farmer
Thereupon the farmer, handed over

then informed her that he had been
lying just outside the cabin and had
heard her and her husband discussing
the murder, and the way in which 1T
was committed, and added that Trum-
bly, had already made a complete con-
fession. Mrs. Trumbly then admitted
her knowledge of it, telling the same
story that Trumbly had told. Trum-
bly, and his wife were then taken to
Judge Edmonson's Office, where they
repeated their story.
Watts then called up the authori-
ties at Sallisaw, detailed the story of
the confession, and asked for writ
for the arrest of Harris. The Salli-
saw authorities, however, insisted that
an affidavit would have to be made at
Sallisaw before writ could be issued.
1t was then decided to call in the
chief marshal of the Northern district
Meanwhile there was great excite
the pair. William Eugene Johnson
happened to be in town at the time.
He was planning the series OF sensa-
tional raids upon the Indian Territory
bootleggers which were to make him
famous, and he was not intensely in
terested in this news until somebody
mentioned that Harris and his party
had been peddling whisky on their
journey down the river.
Instantly Johnson was a changed
man. He buzzed to and fro like a
bee, always in the thick of things,
and, meeting Watts, offered to call
I'D Marshal Bennett and secure writ
for Harris arrest, and that of the
woman who was with him. Warrants
were accordingly issued and sent to
Eufaula, and officials of the govern
ment gathered there and began scour-
ing the country to discover the where
abouts of the fugitiyes.
Meanwhile Johnson, having secured
photographs of Harris and his step
daughter, joined the throng of search
ers. It was at first believed that the
murderer and the girl had gone to
San Antonio, Texas, and this report
led to a slackening of the pursuit.
Johnson never slackens. He had
started out to find the man who was
debauching his Indians-and, incl
dentally, had murdered his son-in-law.

lowing 4 conference with the presi-
dent
The railroads, in a letter TO Senator
Newlands, signed by Fairfax Harri-
son, chairman Of the railroad war
board, stated definitely what the rail-
roads do not want. Then he outlined
what they do want as the necessary
means of ending congestion, supplying
equipment and maintaining plants on
level with the abnorminal uecessi-
ties of the nation produced by the
war
These measures may be SUNNI d up

territory. The amount of rate in
creases is not stated, but the roads
have been seeking an increase of Is
per cent. Railroad chiefs have an
nounced that if granted this increase
they will request more as the times
dictate.
Notwithstanding the attitude Of the
roads, the president, it may be said
upon good authority, will address con-
gress on the railroad situation. Off
cial Washington believes he will urge
upon congress ratification of the sug-
gestion of the interstate commerce
commission that legislation providing
for some form of unification Of the
railroads be enacted

legislation would be proposed to con-
