HATCHING TOR OITlAWS.
Wan Hunt in the Territory Excites Peo
P!c in Arkansas Town, W ho Believe
HycWiffs Willv'T'-‘ this Way.
Rogers, March 22—!•" .rthwest
•v Arkansas is taking; r.v.'ih inter
est in the search in territory
Tor the Wycliife brothers,
wanted for the murder of Depu
ty Marsha] Ike Gillstrap, a week
h ago. The section where the
hunt is taking place is not far
from the Arkansas line, or the
western boundary of Benton
county, and many of the partici
pants are well known here.
The Benton county towns along
the Kansas City Southern are
the nearest towns of importance
on the east to the scene of the
trouble, and a close watch is be
ing kept by the officers at all
points.
The hardware men are asked
to report all orders for rifle am
munition from unknown parties,
for it is thought friends of the
hunted outlaws may try to re
plenish their supplies over the
line in Arkansas rather than try
the territory towns where they
are better known.
It is thought the outlaws will
try to escape from the territory
into some neighboring state,
where the Indian Police would
be powerless to follow. Kansas
and Arkansas are so thickly pop
ulated along the border that the
only chance would be to reach
McDonald county, Missouri,
which is heavily timbered and
very rough.
Such a close watch is being
kept, though, there is little
chance of their crossing the line
without being grabbed by the
Missouri officers. Not since the
Dalton gang was terroring this
section some ten or twelve years
ago has the interest been sc
great.
Revival Meeting.
The revival at the Christian
church continues to hold the in
terest of large numbers. The
attendance on Thursday evening
was large and the address b$
Mr. Rogers, on “The Picture oi
a Lost Soul” was interesting
throughout. The people are
urged to attend these services
every day at 3 and 7;30p.m.
The music by the splendic
choir is an attractive feature oJ
the services, and it is to be hopec
that great good may be accom
plished in Newport by this mai
of God.
