DEATH OF A WOMAN PIRATE.
Spanish Belle, One of the Worst of
Women, Dead at the age of 81.


From. the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
PORTLAND, ORE, Aug. pa notorious
woman, known all over the Pacific coast as
Spanish Belle" died at Emore, Idaho,
last Sunday, aged 81 years. There is
scarcely mining camp on this coast that
this woman did not visit during its pros
perity since the days of 1S49 Her history,
if correctly told, would fill large volume;
and would be volume of bad deeds oIly,
for no good deeds have ever been attributed
to her in the knowledge of those few who
have known her history for the past forty
years 1t seems that she gloried in the cri mes
she committed, and during her c1nyivial
moments would relate soma incidents of her
past .ife,
From this source it is gathered that at an
early age in her native land of Central
America she became the mistress of a noted
sea pirate name Valzlj whose vessel was
a terror to the merchant ships plying the
waters of the Pacific ocean. She boasted
that her duty was, when the ship anchored
at port of prominence, to decoy rich men
aboard the vessel, where they would surely
be robbed and murdered. She followed
this criminal career until the discovery of
gold in California, when she left her pirate
paramour, and landed in San Francisco in the
summer of lS49. She soon drifted to the gold
mines and followed every excitement from
that date until the time of her death, plying
her nefarlous calling, and a terror in th5
community in which she happened to cast
her lot. 1t is said Spanish Belle hoasted of
having murdered four men herself al ne for
money, one in Idaho, and two women of
her own sort who were SO unfortunate as to
excite her jealousy 1t is claimed that she
was buried with finger ring belonging to
one of her unfortunate victims. The men
whom she had cut al most to death in Boise
Basin, Atlantic, Rocky Bar, Idaho E Ireka
d Virginia City, New, are too numerous
to mention.
Yet, in her long career of crime. this
woman, by her devilisa cunning, managed
to escape just punishment by law. In her
young days she was doubtless a handsome
woman, and at her death did not look to be
over 60 years of age. She was quietly
| buried Sunday evening about o'clock,
with but one solitary person following thu
remains to the grave.
