Montgom r was carried to the federal
.jail on a FtretrhT and after arriving
there, told the officials that it hail taken
ten hoi rrs for him to reach the "Wyatt
lume after having:; escaped from -the
county jail on Thursday. He went from
the Jail to the underbrush on the Cotton
vcood river and was in hiding the greater
part of the time un,til he reached the
house.
Mrs. Wyatt, according to Montgomery,
under pressure of threats, dressed his
wouna. The bullet which pierced his
left lung failed tb break the skin on his
back ami this bullet was cut out by Mrs.
"Wyatt. It is believed that during the
night. Montgomery was taken from his
hiding place under the Uoor and placed

cions of several persons, but nothing de
finite . was ascertained. Today., for ths
first time Uia curtains ware all- pulled
down and this further excited the curi
osity of those residing near the AVyatt
home.
Mrs. "Wyatt and sons, Jim and Al "Wyatt
were placed tinder arrest by Sheriff Car
penter and deputies and taken to the
county jail. Their crime is a serious one
and it may mean a term in the peniten
tiary for each of them, especially the
woman. Bob Wyatt, another member of
the family, is now serving a sentence for
highway robbery.
Montgomery, as ho reclined on his cot
In the federal jail, gave much evidence
of suffering. There is a several day's
growth of beard on his face and his face
Is drawn, cither from the suffering as
a result of his wounds, or the realiza

long black hair' is unkempt, denoting
that it had no attention for severs days.
His black eyes snapped as he noticed
the close watch the many officers wore
keeping on him, and his entire appear
ance gave every indication that the man
Is one of more than ordinary brightness.
The search for Montgomery has been
kept up without vigilance since his es
cape on Thursday of last week. The
officers were satisfied that he had not left
the country.
Prior to his attack on Jailer Emmcrson,
Montgomery left a letter for Sheriff Car
renter telling him that he realized what
desperate chances ho was taking in es
caping, but that his liberty meant every
thing to him. He also stated in the let
ter that escape he would, and that it
would be useless to follow him, as he
would le prepared for any emergencv.
The letter only made Sheriff Carpenter
npd his deputies more determined to get
Montgomery.
"Wra. Grady, confined in the county
jail on a charge of stealing chickens, was
one of the men who had helped plan for
Montgomery's escape. Gray was to leave
the jail at tne same time, but when the
hour arrived, he lost his nerve, refusing
to go in response to Montgomery's re
tjuest. Gray was taken Into County Attorney
McOuire s office this morning and tokl
oillcers all that lie knew about the mat
ter. Mrs. "Wyatt lias often visited her
eon, Bob. in the jail and during these
visits met Montgomery. She liked his ap
pearance and in fact, was Infatuated with
him. According to Gray, she fx rnished"
Montgomery with a revolver for the pur
pose of killing Sheriff Carpenter. Mont
gomery tried to shoot Carpenter twice
as he sat in his cell, but something hap
pened each time to prevent it. This,
however, was unknown to Carpenter. A
pirl friend of Mrs. Wyatt was also one
of the members of tlw party helping to
plan for Montomor"s escape and the
officers saw her this morning, compelling
her to tell what she knew, which was
sufllclcnt to make it certain that th
murderer was In hiding at the "Wyatt
home. Plans were the rtmade for Mont
gomery's capture and the arrest of tii
Wyatl home. Plans were tVu made f
Monteomery's capture and the arrest or
the "Wyat family, also the girl accompli..-. .
The announcement That Montgomery
has been arrested created considerable
excitement. Many persons visited th
federal Jail tn hopes that they could catch
a glimpse of Montgomery The "Wyatt

WHERE IS MERRICK?
Ian Who Would Have Things
Straight
Guthrie, O. T., May IS. Since the pub
lication of the sanitarium report made
by a government inspector, the Watonga
Republican. Governor Ferguson's paper.
in an editorial paragraph, "goes after"
the alleged "knockers" who worked up
the legislative investigation. Some of the
paragraphs arc as follows:
The "fellows" who secretly worked up
the s anitarium agitation In the legis
lature and at the same time openly
claimed to be friends to the administra
tion, will probably hear from it later on.
The mills that grind slowly, grind surely.
It may be, that the legislative inves
tigation is not a closed Incident. It is
possible that authority higher than Logan
county may look into the affair- There is
game in the brush if It can be located,
and the indications now aTe that it can
be done.
During all of the time that the sani
tarium agitation was on, this paper had
but little to say, desiring to let the Ana
nias knockers have "plenty of rope.'
"Where are they today? "What do the peo
ple think, of them? They are liats and
the. people know it.
Merrick was only a poor tool used by
certain would-be politicians at Guthrie
during the session of the last legislature.
This matter will come up later. The
fri3ky chaps who (supposing their tracks
covered) worked it up and assisted will
hear echoes of it in the future.
Some time ago this paper offered a re
ward of $1,050 for a letter from the in
terior department officially authorizing
Edgar Jones to take the legislative evi
dence in the sanitarium to Washington.
No one has claimed the reward up to
date. The offer is still open.
"Where is Merrick since the government
inspector made his report? Some time
ago Merrick said to a Kansas City Jour
nal correspondent that the governor of
the. territory had not requested the sec
retary to send a man to investigate the
sanitarium. Merrick should have been
unseated In the legislature last winter
when the Smith episode took place.
However, he has gone Into an obscurity
which he is eminently qualified to adorn.

to capture him until Deputy Brown cap
tured him at Tussy yesterday morning.
Deputy Brown and Posseman Pruitt
ran In on him at a house near Tussy
yesterday morning about daylight and
after awakening Williams he got up and
promised to surrender. Pruitt stood. at
the north door while Brown was at the
south door, a hallway running between
them.
Williams saw the two officers, and
noticing Brown with a rifle, he conclude !
to make his exit by the north way. and
made a break for liberty. Prutt began
firing his pistol, but not to hit. and Wil

shooting once at his legs, he llro1 again
at his body, which had the desired effect
and the tleoing man stopped.

as a 30-30 Savage gun, whiuh shoots a

"AH oils, except certain grades, such
as naptha, benzine, gasoline, highly in
flammable, must show a test of 120 de
grees Fahrenheit and a specific gravity
not below 44 or 4S Baume. before they
can be branded 'good,' " said Mr. Ash
ton today. "Oils not meeting the test
required by the new law must be branded
'Inferior.' Tho sale of inferior oils in
violation of the law is punishable by a
fine not to exceed $.100. Oil companies
may be sued by aggrieved persons and
action may be brought against the in
spector himself if it is believed that he
is not doing his duty."
Under tho new law inspection is made
as rigid as possible. Oils shall not bo

upon its arrival in Oklahoma until after
it has been inspected and branded. Oil
must show its inspection brand from the
time of Its first inspection down to tho
moment it reaches the consumer, each
retail dealer being required under pen
altv to attach to each receptacle con
taining oil sold by him a ticket giving
its flash test and specific gravity. The
mutilation of bands, the using of empty
receptacles without destroying previous
bands and the adulteration of oils after
inspection are controlled by heavy flnes
Any person who shall offer or sell to a
merchant oil that has not been inspected
shall bo fined not to exceed SW0 for each
