the late campaign in force against the
outlaws, while, as some allege, the
discovery Of thedetective Landers' plan
to capture Lowery was made by a girl in
Lowery's interest with whom Landers
spent his time. Lowery has said, and
laughed over it, that he devised at a
critical point in truce between the
contending parties that bevy OF the

and gave practical evidence that the
hostility of races is not so great as the

This woman is the sister of two of the
