| June 16, 1893Guthrie Daily News--United
States Deputy Marshal McKeever last evening forwarded a dispatch from Stillwater to U. S.
Deputy Marshal Madsen containing the important information that three men were captured at
Hennessey yesterday afternoon, one of whom has been recognized as the famous bandit,
George Newcombe alias "Butcher Kid," and the other is believed beyond a
doubt to be the famous train robber and man killer Zip Wyatt, whose escape from the
territorial jail in this city last winter caused such a sensation. The third man has not been recognized but from his description is supposed to be the daring Cimarron City train robber. His appearance exactly coincides with that given of the bandit who stopped the train and robbed it at that place recently. He is a slim, yet strong looking fellow, and the circumstances attending his arrest makes it almost sure that the marshals have the right man. The railroad officials regard these captures as of great moment and of course they feel jubilant. |
