Search Extended for Buck Davis

No Trace of Man Accused of Woman's murder at Drumright, Found.

SAPULPA, July 27.--The search for Buck Davis, who shot and killed Mrs. T. R. Braught al Drumright Wednesday night and escaped, has assumed a statewide scope, but no trace of the accused man had been found up to a late hour tonight.

Davis is a brother of Joe Davis, who once operated with the Henry Starr gang and who is now serving a sentence for a daring train holdup last summer.

T. R. Braught, husband of the slain woman, who is held in the Creek county on a charge, of murdering Oto Robins at Oilton July 1, was taken to Drumright yesterday by Sheriff Woofter and two deputies, and collapsed when he saw her body in the morgue.

Funeral arrangements have not been completed, but it is thought burial will be at Afton, in which event Draught will he allowed to attend under heavy guard.
