After few minutes the men left
their car and walked to the waters

AS their guns, three pistols and a
shotgun were left in the car, it was
an easy matter for the officers to
pick them up.
They were brought to Chickasha
on suspicion, coming willingly and
stating that they would have no
trouble in proving tt@ir innocence.

To add to the pleasure of the trip,
the engine which successfully hauled
the special to Lawton, died in its
tracks, standing up, while the game

feeding with a spoon and coaxing
failed to bring the thing back to life.
The result was that they had to send

late that it was near Monday morn
ing when tho Chickahsa delegation

#. l.. Lakey, who for two weeks
has been employed by the Union
Electric company, was brought from
Kansas city by the sheriff today on
the charge of forgery. Lakey passed
three checks at the Tip Top Inn on a
bank In Wichita Falls, Texas, and
one at III. c. Lifts clothing store for
$l25, forged on the United Telephone
Company. There he purchased cloth
es for 500, paying for them and TAX
ing the rest In cash.
Mike Hogan, who has suspected
him for some time, was largely re-
sponsible for intecepting him before
he got away. He had passed the
checks at the Tip Top and showed
the check for $125 to Mr.. Hogan at
the same time. Later he asked
Hogan to lend him some money ana
when Hogan asked him about the
check he had showed him he said he
hadn't deposited 1t. Hogan found he
was going to Kansas City and went
to the early morning train. However
he found Lakey was not there but
two other men who have been here
for some time and were apparently
friends Of Jakey's left then for Kan
sas city Lakey appeared at the
noon train, however, with two suit
cases though he told Hogan he was
Just going to spend Sunday at home.
Hogan asked him about the money he
owed him and the checks and told
him TO hand over the money. bakey
did so without question. As soon as
the train had left Hogan telephoned
c. l.. Brown about the check for Sl2o
and Mr.. Brown declared they never
issued such a check. The authorities
at Kansas City were immediately
notified and given the number OF
Lakey's baggage check. He was ar
rested there when he called for his
bags at the depot.
The two friends who left Saturday
night, Hardy Grorge, and the othel
known as Fat" are thought to have
lnstigated the forgeries, though there
is no definite evidence against them
