Two Redskins, Who Shot Marshal Fink, Are Captured.
Eufaula: Deputy Marshal Grant Johnson and Bud Ledbetter captured Jim Tiger and another Indian by the name of Fish, fifteen miles southwest of Eufaula. Seventy-five deputies have been scouring the country for them for the murder of Deputy Marshal Fink at Weleetka. The evidence was so conclusive against the Indians that they confessed to the murder. Tiger says Fish did the shooting.
The Indians had brought whiskey from Oklahoma and were resisting arrest when Fish fired at Deputy Fink, killing him.
