MAY EXPLAIN HUGE THEFTS.

Arrest of the Heaths at Kansas City for Depredations on the Ranges. Two arrests made at Kansas City, Mo., are expected to clear up the mystery of huge cattle thefts in the Creek Nation. W. M. Heath and his son, G. W. Heath, were arrested on a warrant charging them with stealing thirty-one head of cattle from the range near Checotah and shipping them there. Last week Deputy United States Marshal Grant Johnson, of Eufaula, I. T., arrived with a United States warrant sworn out by T. W. Turk, a well-known ranchman, and says that eight other arrests are to follow. Turk says that the Heaths have been at the head of the gang which had engaged in running cattle off the ranges
