An Oklahoma Town Terrorized
by Bandits After Booty.
ONE OF THE CITIZENS SHOT DEAD.
A Running Fight Wai Kept Up and One
of the Bandlte Wu Wounded and Cap¬
tured—Tha Sheriff Continued the Pur¬
suit After the Otti.ru, but with Little
Hopes of Cntohtpg Them.
Guthrie, Aug. 2.—The little town of
Chandler, 40 miles east of here, was the
scene of one of the boldest bauk robber¬
ies in the history of the territory, the
particulars of which have just reached
here.
About 10 o’clock five men road into
the town, dressed as cowboys and armed
to the teeth, and proceeded at once to
the alley in the rear of the Linooln
County bank. All of the men dismount¬
ed. one held the horses, one entered the
front door of the bauk and two the back
door, while one remained on guard out¬
side.
The first man to enter stepped up to
the teller’s window, and, shoving a
Winchester into the face of Harvey
Lee, president of the bauk, with a vol¬
ley of oaths ordered him to “shell out
the cash and be quick about it, too.”
The second bandit took care of the cash¬
ier, books, O. D. Kee, who was at work on the
while the third one went into a
batik room and compelled F. B. Hoyt,
who was lying very sick, to get up and
go to open the safe. He attempted to
comply, safe but fell exhausted in front of
the door, and the robber then
snapped but luckily his Winchester in his face,
it did not go off.
By this time firing was hoard on the
outside, ami the men grabbed all the
currency on the counters, about $300,
and ran. The first man to give the
alarm was J. B. Mitchell, a barber,
■whose shop was on the corner opposite
the bank. He saw the men’s actions in
the bank, and, calling out, “The Dalton
gang is in town,’’ started into his shop,
but fell dead in the doorway, pierced
through Winchester the heart, by a bullet from the
of the bandit on guard out-
sffie the bank.
A moment later tho robbers mounted
their horses and rode away. A ball from
a citizen’s rifle brought down one horse,
but the rider mounted behiud a pal, and
just out of town, as another horse was
shot, two farmers were robbed of their
horses and the five rode on.
In 10 minutes sheriff Parker was in
hot pursuit. About 10 miles out the
bandits made a stand and a battle en¬
sued, in which several hundred shots
were fired, and one bandit shot through
hips and captured. The rest of the gang
scattered in the timber.
The wounded robber is about 20 years
old, and gives his name as Elmer Lu¬
cas. He says the others were “Bill”
and “Tom” Cook, Jack Starr and Tulca
Jack, and he joined the gang in the
Creek oonntry but a week ago. They
been around Chandler several days,
; the lay of the land. The gang-
in the mountains of the Creek
country, and there is but little chance
of capturing any more of them. The
wounded robber "will live.
Mitchell, the citizen shot, was 58
years old, and leaves a wife and two
childrenan poor circumstances.
NEGRO BRUTALITY.
Horrible Treatment of a Girl by Her Sis¬
ter and Brother-In-Law.
Texarkana, Ark., Aug. 2.—Henry
Wheeler and his wife, negroes, who live
in the north suburbs of town, have been
arrested and lodged in jail on the charge
of murdering the 16-year-old sister of
the latter, who had been living with
them. It is charged that they tied her
hand and foot and left her alone for
days at a time in a secluded spot. The
flies got on to the lacerated portions of
her body upon which she had been
beaten and screw worms resulted by the
hundreds. When found she was liter¬
ally a living skeleton, and was too far
gone to receive any benefit from medical
attention.
A coroner's jury found it a case of
murder, and Wheeler and his wife will
remain in jail nntil the next grand
jury, which meets in November. Whee¬

A Will With a String to It.
Rondoct, N. Y., Aug. 2.—Benjamin
Vradenburgh, a rich fanner and strong
Prohibitionist, who recently died at
Woodstock, has left his property to his
heirs under very unusual conditions.
One of these is: “In case any of the leg¬
atees should become addicted to any
vicious habits, such as the use of tobacco
in m any any form, form, or or intoxicants, intoxicants, gaming gaming or or
necessary to do, thev shall

Caught the Tent Burners.
Wilkksbarre, Pa., Aug. 2.—James
Breeua, Hugh McGuire and Dan Galla¬
gher. of Miners’ Mills, and Thomas
Frances, of Parsons’, have been arrested
on Moody suspicion of having set fire to the
gospel tent at Miners’ Mills

given heard up hope, when one of them over¬
a barroom conversation in which
the culprits rehearsed some of the ex¬
the periences of the night they set fire to

In Spite of Rental*, It I* Generally Accept¬
ed In Washington »* Trua.
Washington, Aug. 2. — Lewis G.
Stevenson, son of the vice president, said
of the story that his sister had been eu-
I gaged to George F. Curtis, and that the
engagement had been broken off by Mr.
Stevenson: “The story is not true. Mr.
Curtis was not engaged to my sister.
He has called at the hotel several times
and was regarded as a mere acquaint¬
ance. There was ue ring, no photo-
graph, no love letters. how such
“I cannot imagine a report
should have started. Nor is it true
that we left the city in a hurry to £
my sister away from Curtis. My otl
sister, Julia, has been ill for some time
at Charleston, W. Va., and as soon as
Bhe was able to travel we took her, to¬
gether with the rest of the family, to
Maine. We had been planning the
trip for some time and were merely
waiting for my sister’s recovery. Our
movements had nothing whatever to do
with Mr. Curtis. That is all I have to
say. I make this statement for my
father as well as for myself.”
In spite of family denials, the story is
generally credited here. Mr. Curtis is
a fine young fellow to whose union with
Miss Stevenson nobody generally here is can suggest
an believed objection. that in So the gossip here the story
addi¬
tional details are given. It is said that
an over zealous friend of CUrtis under¬
took to go to Bar Harbor to ascertain
and the basis of receiving the objections Curtis of the $100 family,

several days, and then telegraphed his

stranded there now. Curtis refuses to
say anything.
GOTHAM’S NEXT/MAYOR.
Tammany May Go Out of the Fold for a
Man—Gllroy'a Opinion.
New York, Aug. 2.— Mayor Gilroy
has returned from Saratoga, and had
something to say about the coming elec¬
tion.
“Tammany,” said the mayor, “is not
bound to select a man for mayor within
the ranks of the organization this fall.
We may nominate a man who is not a
member of Tammany hall,if it is thought
that the interests of the Democratic
party tHe require it. The fight this year is
lint preliminary skirmish to the real
battle in 1890. If the Republicans win
in this city and state next fall, there is
not the slightest doubt bnt they will
carry the country in 1890. They will
also elect the next congress and leave
the president without the support of
either branch of the legislature during
the last two years of liis term. In view
of these conditions it behooves every
Democrat to make sacrifices in tho in¬
terest of his party. “*•
Asked if he thought Tammany would
go outside the organization for mayor¬
alty timber, Mr. Gilroy said that such a
move might be mad". “It used to be
thought necessary to renominate a man
for the purpose of vindicating him,”
said the mayor, “but I want no vindi¬
cation. I think the prospects of Demo¬
cratic harmony are now fairly good.
The people are beginning to awaken to
the fact that the Republicans are pre¬
paring for the effort of their lives this
fall, and if they succeed it will be good-
by to Democratic ascendancy in this
city, state and nation for many years to
come.”
The mayor would not discuss what
measures are likely to be taken to Democ¬ bring
about harmony with the state
racy. ■
