ANADARKO DAILY DEM OC RAT Volume I Anadarko, Oklahoma, Fedruary II, 1902. umber 130 THE ONLY ICE PLANT IN THE NEW COUNTRY IS TO BE LOCATED AT A C7 AR.KO desperate' men I Earl Young went to Unfurl to day. Steal Horses From Jail in Public Square. WILLCETAMANNEXTTIME" Ib tho Language of u Note Thoy Loft. J The killing of Sheriff Smith and Deputy Gcorgo Heck was evidence Rutticient that a desperate and dan. gorous gang of outlaws have their hauntH in this country, but lastuight thoy doubly emphasized the fact by . stealing two horses from the rack at the jail in the court house square and left pinned to the jail a note which read: We will get a man next time. From your esteemed friend, Hurt." A bolder piece of daring and dov iltry was never conceived or sue- eessfully executed before. It reads like a passago from the story of Robin Hood or tlie.Jamcs boys. In this prosaic matter of fact age, in a public square surrounded by scores of residences and business houses, a robbCY boldly comes to the county jail, steals the two horses that belonged to the outlaws who killed Frank Smith, wrote a note of dcliaucc,piuucd it to the jail and then ride away. These two ponies were part of the iuiporlautevideucc against these uiurdcicrs and they made a bold and successful effort to eliminate this evidence from thecase. A great many people are willing to raise a laugh at the expense of the officers but this should not be. They are only human and could have no fore sight of what was about to trans pire. They are not blood hounds to trail a. man by faculties not humane. They are doing everything in their power to break up these outlaws and we predict that they will bo successful. Sheriff Thompson is as brave a man us ever peeped over the sights of a rille and in the persons of Al Burohott and Jay Sherman be has two able assistants or the ame metal as himself. They are work ing quietly and some day the papers' will havo a story of perseverance and bravery to tell of our officials that will thrill this entire commun ity. . i.'
