FORT SMITH, Ark. Feb. 5.-Belle
Starr, the former wife of Cole Younger,
now serving life sentence in the Still
water penitentiary for bank robbery
and murder at Northfeld, Mimi, died
in the Choetaw Nation yesterday. The
death of this notorious woman closes a
remarkable and very interesting ca
reer, probably not equaled in ro-
nance. by that of any other
woman. Her whole life has been spent
with desperate and law)eSs classes of
men, and her own prowess as a crack
shot aud desperate woman has been
for some years, the talk of the entire
Southwest. where most of her life has
been spent. Rumor connects her with
the famous James and Younger gangs
in Missouri, and with various latter day
notorieties. For some years she had
lived in the "NatiCn'' and had
been in Fort Smith on business and as
a witness in the United States court.
After the imprisonment of her husband.
Cole Younger, she married Samuel
Starr. and lived with him in the Choc-
taw nation. With her husband she was
in Fort Smith about three years ago,
and the two left for home in
the evening, but on the way Starr.
was killed. They stopped at a dance
across the river. where they met an old
enemy named West. Starr pulled his
pistol and shot West through the groin,
but when in the death throes West
managed to pull a pistol and shot
Starr, both dying about the same time.
and upon hearing of the shooting, took
two pistols, one in each hand.
and went out to do her share:
of the killing. But when she arrived
both men were dead. Soon atterward
she married her late husbands cousin,
James Starr, a tall, wellformed Indian,
with long hair falling over his shoulders.
He was in town yesterday when the
telegram announcing her death
was received. There was bad
blood in his eye when he
heard the news, and without delay he
saddIed his horse, provided himself
with quart of whisky and struck out
on the run for home, saying somebody
was going to suffer. Belle Starr figured
in the United States court in this city
on several occasions. and was once
sent to the penitentiary for selling
whisky in the nation" Dressed in
mems clothes, mounted on
spirited horse. and armed with
brace of formidable pistols, she raided,
caroused and participated i'll every form
of outlawry prevalent in the nation.
She rode with grace. shot with great
skill.and with it all was we'll educated
and accomplished woman. Many citi-

SCHUYLER, Neb., Feb. 5.-George
Haggerman, who was confined in the
Jail here charged with incendarism and
horse stealing, was taken from his cell
last night and hanged to tree in the
court house yard. The sheriff knew
nothing about it until this morning.
when an early-rising citizen OH his way
to work saw the body dangling in the
air, and notified the authorities. The
work was done SD quietly that not
soul seems to have been aware f
1t except Haggerman and the other
parties directly concerned. There was
one other prisoner, in the jail. He
occupied an adjoining cell but heard
nothing to disturb his slumbers during
the night and did not miss his fellow
prisoner until this morning. Hagger-
mans body when taken down was found
to have several ugly wounds on the
head, any one of which might have
produced death. 1t is thought that he
was rendered insensible by blow on
the head when the lynchers first seized
him. and that ne was hanged while in
this condition. Haggerman was tried
last September for running away with
horse belonging to a farmer named
Rolfe, for whom he had been working.
He set up in defense that Rolfe owed
him wages Which he refused to pay and
that he
TOOK THE HORSE TO GET EVEN.
He was acquitted. After his acQuit-
tai he went to Colfax county and hired
himself to Farmer John Craig. -Four
weeks ago last Thursday Craig's barn
burned and thirty-six horses persisted
in the flames. Haggerman disappeared
the same night. 1t was found that the
bodies of several valuable horses were
not in the rufus, but in their stead were
the bodies Of several younger animals
which had been kept in an adjoining
yard. The theory was at once adopted
that Haggerman had run off the miss
ing animals and had put the others i'll
their stables to avert suspicion. He
was traced to Omaha. where it was
found he had brought three of the ami
mails. Learning that the police were
after him, he abandoned two of
the horses and with the other took to
fight. At Elkhorn he was recognized
by parties who started in pursuit. They
fired at and wounded him so that he
jumped from his horse and took to the
woods along the Elkhorn. After hid
ing a couple of days he went to a farm
er's house for something to eat and was
arrested and brought to Schuyler.
