Sheriff Jordan immediately wired back that Behning was wanted at Bartlesville. and that he would leave at once for him.

County Attorney Donohue of Bartlesville instructed Sheriff Jordan to lose no time in reaching' the Washington city and taking charge of Behning.

Bowman and City Marshal' Mayfield, of Lenapah, captured the consignment and proceeded to break the bottles. The wagons were taken a short distance from the side of the road, where the stuff was being dumped out. Behning was in Caney when h2 received word that the four loads had been captured.
