Captain Frank johnson of Weather
ford, Texas, is in Ardmore as a guest
of Sheriff Buck Garrett and Mr.. and
Mrs. Val Mullen. Captain Johnson is
well known in Arduore and in fact
throughout southern oklahoma, pri-
marily because he was one of the
leading officers of the law who aided
in the determination of outlaws in
Oklahoma and Texas when he served
as a captain of Texas Rangers
Captain Johnson is high in his
praise OF Sheriff Buck Garrett, who,
he states, is without any exception
the most efficient and capable officer
Of the law in the United States. Cap
tain johnson is a capable judge OF
such men for he was engaged in the
work of hunting down criminals for
over thirty years and has been asso-
ciated with Sheriff Garrett in many
cases
Captain Johnson resigned his COM
mission in the Texas Rangers in
1912 and is now engaged in the Asp
halt mining industry in Texas. He is
now fifty years Of age but as hale
and hearty as a youth of twenty.
One o. the criminal cases in which
Captain Johnson was engaged and in
which he was ably assisted by Buck
Garrett, was the capture of Miller,
Burrell Allen and West. four of the
mos; notorious outlaws that ever
rode the plains. This case is of in
terest to the residents of Ardmore and
vicinity, for the crime for which they
were convicted was the killing of
Babbitt, a deputy sheriff of Ada.
One OF the bandits. Miller was also
connected with the willing of Mr.
Collins, who was murdered at Ard
more short time before the murder
of Babbitt
At the time Babbitt was killed,
stated Captain Johnson, q notorious
criminal named Jim Miller who made
his headquarters a Ardmore and
whose profes On was the killing of
people, was suspected Of the murder
at Ada.
Miller escaped TO Texas, where he
was apprehended by Captain John
son and placed under arrest. charged
with the murder o; Babbitt Miller
denied that he had done the killing
and accused another outlaw. named
Lightfoot. with having committed the
crime. At that time Lghtfoot was
living under an alas at Snyder, Okla
Miller stated that he would prove the
guilt OF Liehtfoot ana informed the
officers OF LightfootS address. Cap
tain johnson ,h"n dispatched one Of
his men to Snyder, who with the as.
sistance OF Buck Garrett. succeeded in
capturing Lignlfoot and took him to
Ada.
In the meantime while Garrett and
the Ranger were engaged in the ar
rest Of LightfoUt Miller gave Captain
Johnson several letters which he re-
quested the captain 10 mail for him.
Captain johnson opened the letters
ana found that they were addressed
TO. confederates of Miller in Oklahoma
and their purpose was to frame up
charges against Lightfoot which would
convict the latter Of the crime.
Captain johnson Immediately wired
Garrett and the Ranger at Ada to
bring Lightfoot to Texas as he feared
that Lightfoot would be hung for q
crime Of which he was innocent. The
officers succeeded in bringing their
prisoner TO Texas
Evidence had in the meantime been
secured against Miller and three others
