Two men held for investigation

A group of officers, composed of prosecuting attorney Moss, sheriff Moore, deputy sheriff McKnight, policeman Seaton, and policeman Bradley, caught two men last night named Homer Dickson and F.M. Morris, both of Parsons, Kan., and they are now in jail to await investigation.

The officers learned that Dickson and Morris started from Parsons, in a box-car with F.B. Drummonds, whose mangled remains were found Tuesday morning near Walnut, Kan. Drummonds, who resided here until a few months ago, when he went to Parsons, was suppose to have fallen under the wheels of a Missouri, Kansas and Texas freight train while attempting to board the train near Walnut. From recent developments, it is not understood why Drummonds happened to be killed, there not being any facts known to show that he did or when he did get out of the car after leaving Parsons.

The officers are holding Dickson and Morris, but they so far have not learned anything that will connect them with the untimely death of Drummonds.

The three man left Parsons, together in a box-car and Dickson and Morris say they were invited to come to Nevada by Drummonds.

They say that Drummonds bought a quart of whiskey at Parsons and all drank out of the bottle. Dickson and Morris say that they did not know that Drummonds was killed until they reached Nevada, nor did they know when Drummonds got out of the box-car, nor how he was killed or when.
