AN AMAzcN's SIoRy.--The, Kansas City
(Mo) Times has the following tough h'story OF
a masculine female, perhaps 'Soldier Ton, :
who figured in st. Louis four OF i've yuals
ago. A portion of the story may be true:
The caalsoose sometimes has for its tenants
some rough characters, Yesterday woman
WIS turned loose whose proper name is
Fanny Taylor. She is a hard character. She
stated to our reporter that she was born in
Spotsylvana county, Va. When young she
ran away with Robinson & Eldredls circus,
with which she remained several years as a
female athlete and gymnast. She afterwards
learned the Shoenaker's trade and served five
years in the business, part of this time passing
as IA man. She then served two years. as a
! blacksmith in the patent bolt and nut works
in st. Ilo1ii., and Claims to be able to shoe
a horse. as we'll us 4 man. She served ias
blacksmith in the Tenth Missouri cavalry
from 1862 to iSG4, and was taken prisoner In
Alabama and sent to Richmond, where she
revealed her sex and got her release. She
WIS many times arrested in Richmond for
fighting or gambling. -, Some of these! fights
were very serious. She boasts of having q
fight with, Joseph Mayo, Mayor of Rich
mond, and ,atterward had prize fight, and
won it. She made her escape from Rich
m0nd, and returned to ST. Louis, when SHE
was sent to Jail for shooting in the Bowery
Theatre! She made her escape by climbing
wall and letting herself down by a blanket
cut into strips. She then assumed her .owp
clothing, and, passing as q woman, escaped
detection. She has run as brakeman on the
Missouri Pacific for nearly year, but was
discharged for drunkenness. She married a
negro in this town :GGIt one. Sa4r y with iit
whom she lived some time. Her greatest
enemy is her temper, which, IS very high,
and when infllmcd by strong drink Is demo-
living, and is moreslike a. man than woman.
