George Andrews


                                                                  Outlaw.
Winfield Courier, December 18, 1884.
George Andrews was lodged in the county bastille Monday charged with stealing the ponies of a Noble Red Man in the Territory.
Arkansas City Republican, December 20, 1884.
Geo. Andrews, alias “Reddy,” was arrested last Saturday evening by Capt. Rarick, for stealing two horses from the Osage reservation. Capt. found him asleep at his boarding house and without disturbing his slumbers, slipped a beautiful pair of steel bracelets on his wrists. “Reddy” was considerably surprised when awakened. He was taken before Judge Bonsall and bound over in the sum of $1,000 to appear at the U. S. Court at Wichita. He failed to give bond and Capt. took him up to the county jail.

The following are the names of the criminals, for what arrested, and sentence passed.
Charley Elwood, stealing cattle of Drury Warren, one year in the penitentiary.
