CAPTURE OR DEATH.
REDUCING U.S. BANDITS.
OKLAHOMA, January 0.
Western American o.utlaw ranks have been reduced by the capture of Elmer Inman, the desperado who wooed and married the daughter of a warden at Kansas Penitentiary while serving Ins previous term of imprisonment. Inman recently robbed a bank at Harrah, Oklahoma, and escaped in a motor car, wlncli became bogged during a police chase. Inman tried to shoot his way out, but the police surrounded him and two companions. He was a member of the famous Ray Terrell gang of robbers, but made such a model prisoner in Kansas Penitentiary three years ago that he became chauffeur of the warden s car, theu married the warden's daughter. She divorced him after he used his father-in-law's car, helping former robber friends to escape.
Police and death have taken a heavy toll of gangsters in the Middle-West lately. Wilbur Underhill, named "The Three-State Terror," died following an encounter with police who shot him with machine-guns from two directions simultaneously.
