A little argument and a few
threats resulted in the aires of a
man who shot and killed' two men
seriou. ly injured another ut Chand

Friday the sheriff's office receiv
ed a hurry-up call to the E. E. Johr.
son farm, three miles east of town,
to an est Jake Hanson on a charge
of attack!! a fellow workman. He
had two large knives which he
handled rather carlessly and but
for the hasty arrival of Deputy
Sheriff F. E. Eder, who had placed
him under arrest, he might hav-i
committed another murder.
After he was brought to the
sheriff's office he was searched, a
mong other things was found a no'e
book wHB tew lines reading as
follows: "In case of my death no
tify Mrs. Jacob Hanson, Chandler,
Okla." The sheriff went over his
files to see if this man was wanted
at that place and found that Hanson
alias Anson's description fitted the
man who was wanted at Chandler
on a double murder charge which
was committed three years ago.
Sheriff Cox wired to the sheriff at
Chandler and received the following
neseage: "I hold a warrant for
Jake H. Anson wanted for murder
Age about 52. "-eight 5 feet 8 inch
es, light complexion, blue eye-".
Generally smiles when talking. If
this man any way near fills this de
scription, hold and wire full descrip
tion to me. J. 11 . Lockwood."
In the mean-time the sheriff got a
full confession from Hanson, admit
ting that he was the man who com
mitted the criiiie in Oklahoma and
that he would return to that place
without the necessary requisition
papers.
Jake Hanson was farming in
Oklahoma three years ago and dur
ing an argument over fencing off
some hay land with hiB landlord he
shot and killed him and also an
other man and seriously injuring a
third. He made his getaway at the
tfme but returned two years later
and gave himself up, but states that
a fellow prisoner cut his way out
and that they both made their es
cape. He has a wife and three chil
dren living in Chandler.
He was up for a hearing before
udge Tash Wednesday on a charge
of attacking a fellow workman with
intent to kill arid was fined $15 and
costs but will be taken to Oklahoma
as soon as sheriff Ixickwood arrives
to answer to a more serious charge.
