Gainesville, July 22: Yesterday evening Deputy U. S. Marshal JOHNSON of this city and Dr. YARBOROUGH of Red Bird, Chickasaw Nation, brought in GEORGE GUNTER, JOHN DAILEY, and CHRIS GREEN, charged with horse stealing in Indian Territory. The parties were arrested in Picrim Prairie near Healdton, I. T. One of the stolen horses not yet recovered is a dark brown, about 15 hands high, 7 or 8 years old, but does not look to be over 4, branded on left hip S I K S.
Some three weeks ago, FATE MINER, accused of horse theft, was arrested in Indian Territory and turned over to Deputy U. S. Marshal LEMAN. While taking the offender with several others to Fort Smith, Miner escaped. A few days ago, he was captured at Courtney Flats by PUN THOMPSON (name might be Thompson or T something) and several other citizens and found to be badly wounded in the hind part of the hip. Miner was brought to this city and taken to Sherman.

He’ll Known It Is Loaded
Healdton, I. T., June 11: Deputy U. S. Marshal J. D. WILSON left here yesterday morning with TOM PIERCE, whom he arrested at this place Saturday on a charge of assault to kill. Pierce shot CHARLIE PRICE near this place about two weeks ago, it is said. The shot was not fatal or has not yet proved to be. Pierce claims that he did not know the pistol was loaded and he only mean to have some fun. The ball struck Price in the face on the cheekbone, passed through his head, lodging in the back of his neck from which place it was extracted by surgeons. Price is improving and will perhaps recover.

Seven Men Arrested
Gainesville, Jan. 19: Deputy Marshal DAVE WILSON and posse arrested last night near Healdton, Chickasaw Nation, seven men, all farmers, charged with lynching an old farmer in that community some six weeks ago named J. L. KEYS. KEYS was called from his house during the night, and upon going to the gate to meet the callers, was forced at the muzzle of a Winchester to accompany them to a short distance to a strip of woods where he was hanged to a limb where his dead body was found the following morning. The cause of the tragedy has never been definitely known as Keys was a quite and industrious farmer. The parties charged with the lynching were Keys’ nearest neighbors. Three women, wives of some of the men charged with the crime, were also arrested last night, charged with being accessories to the crime. It was the divulgence of the women that led to the arrest of all the parties. The prisoners are now in Ardmore and will have a preliminary hearing there tomorrow before Commissioner LOW. The arrests have caused considerable excitement in the neighborhood where the prisoners reside, as they are generally well respected citizens. The officers claim they have positive evidence as to the guilt of all the prisoners.
