Letter from eae Of the Gang.
About TWO weeks since wofaan ar
rived in this city from Denton, over
the Dallas aud Wichita railroad. and
went 10 the Crutchfieid house, near
the foot of Msin street, to board.
There wss nothing unusual in her sp,
pearance to excite suspicion, yet her
manner was retieent aud retired. On
the fret nigh, of her arrival, about the
hour Of midnight, two men, dressed in
frontier garb, called to see her, after
which one Of tbs m left.
Eariy the next morning, about five
O'Clock, the one who had remained
over night came down, paid his bill in
gold coin, and was shout to depart
when the landlord stopped him TO
ask II the woman in the house was
his lawful wife. ''No, SIR" answered
the stranger; "but you just let her
stay here, FOR there Is plenty of this
sort of stuff to pay for IT," shaking, as
he spoke, purse of gold
The proprietor of the house notified
the woman that she would have to look
for another boarding place, he being
| satisfied that all was not right That
| evening about dusk she left, going no
one knew where.
By some means, known only to
himself, Marshal Morton got wind OF
the presence of the woman in the city,
which excited bis curiosity, and he set
about to find where aud who she was.
and it was not long before he found
her whereabouts ia the southeastern
portion of the city.
Living close to where the woman
was stopping WAS another woman
whose feminine curiosity had caused
her TO be thoroughly posted rs to heI
habits, etc. She stated to the marsha
that the mysterious woman, who naC
given her name as Melinda Carter
was nightly visited by two men sbou
IL O'Clock, who always left before day
break
The MARSHAL having other informa
ton, no doubt, which authorized him
watched the postoffice for letters com
ing To that name, and after severa
days had elapsed was rewarded by one
} postmarked Mckinney. Opening it 5,
as to prevent detection, il necessary Il
reseaI it, he found the following, dated
} TuRsE MILES FROM MoKIsSEY,

The marshal re,sealed the letter al
&c put 1t back into the office and await
in hopes of catching the men, but W
lie startled on finding the woman hi
left the day before, going no one kne
where.
r. Who this woman Is, or what rel
ID ton she holds to q band OF men, VII
We to all appearances. are the train re
ne bers, is hard to tell. The exciteme
al caused 10y Bass and his gang, natural
as leads to the belief that the woman

r band, who We're making their way
al the Indian territory when last hes
he from.
