Bandits Flee To The Mountain Submitted by: Mollie Stehno

An Oklahoma City dispatch says: Sam Bartell and his posse are back from a month’s chase of the Doolin gang in the western part of the territory. Ranchmen and friendly Indians helped the posse. They came up with the Doolins 25 miles west of Anadarko where they had a running fight with the outlaws. An Indian guide named Ekoniska was killed. The outlaws escaped and the posse pursued them until they lost the gang in the Wichita Mountains.

The posse on their return captured Tom Platts who is accused of aiding and harboring the outlaws.
