De Kalb, TX: Charles Perkins, alias "William the Desperado", who killed seven mules and one horse belonging to Mrs. Moore in the Choctaw Nation ten days ago, shot and killed two United States Marshall's and one citizen Sunday while resisting arrest. The officers got two citizens to pilot them to where they heard the outlaw was ambushed, and while on their way, met him at Marshall's Ferry, on Red River, ten miles north of here and attempted to arrest him with the above result. Perkins and one of the citizens escaped unhurt. He is still at large. There are nine true bills against him for murder. He says he will never be taken alive.
