ninth Mrthday.
Ted Powers, 18, was stricken
suddenly while at work Monday

a local hospitn) he was taken
to the home of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Neil Powers on East
Washington.

the rally of Sherman district

tioning.
Mrs. Traxler said her husband
had visited her twice since his
escape, even though her home had
been heavily guarded by officers.
She said she did not want to go
with her husband and Tindal, but
I raxler had talked her into it
with "she was all he had left."
Ate in Denison
Mrs. Traxler told Oklahoma
officers she, Traxler and Tindal
had eaten dinner in Denison Tues-
day, then gone to Sherman where
they ran into police and exchang-
ed shots. She said they then
drove into some blackjacks and
spent the afternoon.
Later in the afternoon sheriff's
officii^ from Sherman again
caught up with the fleeing trio
and fired again, but the desper-
adoes escaped.
DURANT—At 7:50 a. m. Pete
Traxler, in a car with two other
men, were positively seen ^riving
at a rapid rate north of Durant
in a Ford V-8 sedan, of a dark
color, either green or black.
The first three number of the
machine were identified as 312—.
The latter three numbers could
not be determined, the car mov-
ing so rapidly.
Since it is known that Traxler
and Fred Tindal are separated
from their third companion, Chas.
Chapman, it is believed the third
man in the speeding car is a host-
age they have taken, along with
a stolen machine in which they
hope to make their escape.
Immediately on spying the flee-
ing men a general broadcast was
sent out to officers to guard ev^
ery particle of the highways in
every direction, while a posse set
out from Durant in pursuit.

The Mohammedans claimed
the water from the Weeping Pillar
at St. Sophia to be good for sore
eyes and those in need (who are
plentiful in the Orient) dip theii
dirty fingers therein and apply.
To the occidental observer this
looks like a speedy way of spread-
ing infection, not stopping it, hut
opposite creeds, opposite beliefs,
tho often the twain does meek,
now^a-days. The beautiful orig
inal mosaics were quickly oblit-
erated with several layers ot
paint when this church went to
Mohammedan. Now that it is be-
ing restored as a museum, the
process of uncovering these price
less works of art is well under
way. It is, however, very slow,
tedious work and in one year's
time only a minute portion part
of the scene of the Resurrection
abo've the altar—has been uncov-
ered. It is conservatively esti-
mated that it will take ten year?
to complete tho entire process. In
many places upon the walls, thrt
dim outline of a cross or the head
of a saint may be seen through
the veneer of moslem plaster and
paint. The altar is ilo longer in
its original position since the
Turks changed it to face the East

The car in which the are riding
bears Oklahoma license numbers
286-526. An earlier report stated
that the first three numbers were
312, the others not being legible.
They have either changed cat-
numbers or the first numbers '
were a mistake.
The Federal department asked
that all with radios of both stand-
ard and short wave length, stay in
constant touch with the Oklahoma
station for further and reliable in-
formation and instruction in the
effort to catch the fleeing man.

OKLAHOMA CITY—At 11 e.

bad man No. 1, Pete Traxler and
his comrade Fred Tindal are run-
ning at large somewhere in the
area toward TlShomingo, after
having done a series of doubling
back and forth in and out of Du-
rant, Caddo and other points, and
commandeering two cars and kid-
naping two farmers.
At 11:15 the two men were
still holding their victims as hos-
tages while they sped at 80 miles
per hour over the country dodging
officers and crashing through
groups of watchers.
After being surrounded more
than once, they have made their
escape. When last seen they were
headed toward Tishomingo going
northwest riding in the stolen se-
dan of Frank Primer of Pleasant
Hill after having abandoned in a
ditch the car they stole from J.
E. Benton a short time before.
Both Benton and Primer were
carried along as hostages..
The two men entered the home
of Benton, age 44, near Kingston,
Okla., and dragged him from his
bed at 6 a. m. Tuesday, driving
on through a narrow lane to-
ward Durant. When they were
chased by officers near Durant
they zigzagged toward Caddo at
