Monday night deputy Sheriff Hugh Brixey accompanied by ex-sheriff M. E. Newman and Am Rowley of Washburn as guide went to the locality where they had reasons to believe Stanley was in hiding and by tactful panning and remaining on guard the better part of the night succeeded in capturing their man. He is being held for the officers at the Oklahoma State prison. Stanley came to this county about two years ago and married a daughter of Bud Day near Washburn. He then went to the eastern part of the county where he assisted ina meeting, passing himself as a minister. Later he forged a check in Carroll County, Ark., and is now wanted here on that charge.

The people of Cassville and community were deeply grieved at the noon hour Friday when the news was given out that one of the citizens who only a short time before was in the full vigor of young manhood, had passed away. For days while the manly struggle for life was being fought and is physician was constantly at his bedside, his host of friends were ever hopeful each day that the next would bring the change for the better. A number of hemorrhages readily took the strength of youth and he quietly passed into that sleep which knows no waking. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the tabernacle in Cassville, conducted by R. C.F. Siler of Anderson and Rev. L. R. Lamb of this city. The large concourse of people present was a strong testimonial of the high esteem in which the family is held. Few larger crowds have ever attended a funeral service in Cassville. Prof. J. E. Thomas and his excellent choir beautifully assisted in the services. The pall bearers were young men of the Baptist Church: Dr. E. L. Blankenship, F. A. Meadow, James Mitchell, Evan Shore, Horace Stacey and Julian Van Hook. Oren Brattin was born March 12, 1895 on the farm which was his home when he died. He had lived in the community all his life. He was graduated from the Cassville High School in the Class of 1914, was united in marriage with Miss Lela Bailey, daughter of Dr. W. T. Bailey, June 1914. He taught one term of school but had recently decided to engage in farming. He professed faith in Christ and united with the Baptist Church at Cassville more than one year ago.
