Murderer Mat Craig Captured East of Here
Mat Craig, who murdered deputy U S marshal Joe Heinrich, was caught last night thirty miles east of town by Deputy Joe Payne and a posse. He was to be taken to Muskogee this afternoon. The Texas Cattle Raisers convention is underway at Fort Worth with receipts of 75 000 and 35 000 carved for protection, 5 000 cattlemen in attendance. Plans for three new jails costing 100 000 total are in Washington, with work by petty offenders to be done in towns where located. The article also notes Cherokee land allotment disputes and recent marriage at a local hotel amid a bride tour, and remarks Vinita campaign activity versus Muskogee.
