fredonlTTkansas. complete stock of heavj and shelf Mrs. Mandis, alias -Mrs. Bullet, alias Tom King, a somewhat noted female outlaw of the Indian Territory for the past few years, was arrested by Sheriff McCray, on Monday of this week, near Rest, in Colfax-tp. She was wanted at El Reno, for horse stealing, where she escaped from jail last December it being suspected that she was assisted to escape by the deputy Sheriff then in charge of the jail.

She was traveling through the country in a lumber wagon in conjunction with a Miss Etta Magill, who formerly lived (or rather was reared) in Wilson-co. They were here, professedly, on a visit to the Magill woman's relatives and had been in the county for some five weeks. Last week they visited or stopped in Fredonia for several days, Tom King wearing feminine attire. Etta Magill was dressed in a nobby snit of men's light summer clothing and wore a wide-brimmed white hat, and the way she could mount a bronco and canter off indicated that she was not a tyro. Sheriff McCray "spotted" them some ten days ago and telegraphed the same to Oklahoma, but as he had no warrant could not make the arrest until papers came.

T. R. Jackson, the Sheriff at El Reno, came here Wednesday of last week, bnt the birds had flown on the night before and so he went back, leaving his warrant. Last Sunday McCray found where they were and on Monday made the arrest as aoove stated. Sheriff Jackson was telegraphed for and arrived here Tuesday afternoon on the Frisco, identified his prisoner and left with her for El Reno on the night train via Wichita.

Tom King broke jail at Guthrie once by sawing off the bars of the jail cage and making a hole in brick wall. She is part Choctaw Indian, so we are told by Sheriff Jackson, and was raised near McAlestcr, I. has had advantages of schools and appears to be intelligent. There were no charges against ktta Magill. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH.

El Rexo, O. Aug. 15. There is something very ominous in the atmos phere of the jail here. There Is a deathlike qoietnde and a tip-toe carefulness abont the place which is not common to county bastiles.

The officials appear awkward and con fused and the turnkey is beside himself. Tom King, the female outlaw, is here. She has been brought back from Fredonia, by the Sheriff. He is not exactly satisfied with himself for bringing her back, either. The famous woman, who has cansed so much trouble in the past, is going to cause much more in the immediate fut ure.

Tbe jailors have arranged it so that the physician is near at hand. Although they believe the event will take place without an accident, it is a decidedly unusual occurrence in a jail, and decidedly uncomfortable for men who have been used to handling hardened horse thieves and not delicate women. Another phase of the matter is being disenssed. With a baby on her hands and a trial staring her in the face, no Jndge can be found in Oklahoma who would re-sentence Tom King for a minute's service anywhere. This, with the complicated question as to the young one's legal stauding, when born, is causing much talk.

LETTER FROM MISSOURI. I'RICH, Aug. 9, 1801. Editor Citizen, Fredonia, Kaneits: Dear Sir: Will you kindly send me a copy of your paper containing an ac-conntof the capture of Mrs. Mundis, alias Tom King? She was born, raised and married in this neighborhood and her father was one of the wealthiest men and most extensive land owners in this section of country.

Yours, J. A. uverbey. The above letter coincides with the statement of the woman as to the place of her former residence. The conditions referred to in the El Reno dispatch do not fit the prisoner that was captured here.

There seems to be, from reports we have heard, a political strife between the El Reno Sheriff and his former deputy, and it was caused over the woman's escape. She answered every description, had every mark, was the right height, weight and complexion given of Tom King and the officers here believe it was her. later. The woman arrested for Tom King arrived in Fredonia on the Frisco train from the west. She was tnrned loose at El Reno.

She has brought snit against Sheriff Jackson for 910,000 for false imprisonment. The action of the officers and all the circumstances involved in the matter are mysterious. We feel that space given to the snbject is nearly a complete waste YOUR EYES Will be greatly benefited by a sight of our mammoth Shoe stock. It is principally composed of Selz, Schwab men's Shoes and Krippendorf Dittman's ladies' Shoes.

Aug. 16, 1894. The Loafer. "Every town, no matter how small, is cursed with the town loafer. A loafer is generally too lazy to keep himself clean.

This element as a rule is dangerous. Laziness is not only crime in itself, but it is the source of all vice, and of every bad habit. An indolent man is the worst burden society has to sustain. If it were not that he had to be fed and clothed, this wonld not so much matter; but worthless as he is, his back needs a coat, and his month needs bread, and the industrious part of humanity must be taxed for both. Though the idle man has no inclination to be engaged in any good work, he is not without employment.

He works mischief. He is in the way of others. His very presence is detrimental wher ever he goes to the young and old. A lazy man's life is a curse to him. It is a constant trial and mortification to all." The Oil Well.

Work has been sus pended and it is said casing is being taken up. The well was sunk to a depth over 1,200 and under 1,300 feet. Galey Co. ordered the hole plugged. It is stated that when the drilling ceased a new kind of sand or sand rock had been penetrated several feet.

Caving in was proving an impediment to further down ward work and a request for more cas ing was answered by an order to stop drilling. What the intention as to the fu ture is we wot not. Probably Guffey Galey have not decided possibly they have not seriously thought about the matter sufficiently to reach a conclusion or form a purpose. This is one of the numerous cases in which the- editor knows no more than other people. A Miscxderstaxdixg.

The Monitor feels that some apology is dee to George A. Brundidge on account of two news items that have appeared this week concerning him. The facts as stated were correct, but not so fully stated as to give a full knowledge of the merits of the case. Mr. Brundidge used some violence in ejecting undesirable tenants from a house belonging to bis mother-in-law, Mrs.

McElroy. The people evened np by having him arrested on the charge of assault. He plead guilty on the advice of friends and his fine was paid by those in whose interest the eviction was made. Mr. Brundidge was guilty of nothing criminal either in action or intent.

Fort iscott Monitor. Another Best Oil Well. A Neode sha dispatch of the 15th says "Excitement In oil circles is increased consider- bly by the result of shooting Kimball well No. 3, about one mile northwest of this city. The first seven hours that the well was pumped it yielded 200 barrels of petroleum and the quantity far exceeds the product of any of the wells yet pumped.

This is the first well of the fifty-four that has yielded over 100 bar rels per day and its outpnt will reach 600 barrels a day." Hysinger Rosenthal, the firm which has been engaged in mercantiling at Humboldt since 1868, has closed up and moved to Peoria, 111., to resnme busi ness.
