The Indian Territory Desperate Captured
in Colorado.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, July A
Henry Starr and Kid Wilson, two mem.
bers of the notorious Starr gang OF
train and bank robbers, who have
caused the death of dozen men and
terrorized the Indian territory and
Arkansas for months, were arrested
here yesterday. They arrived at the
Spaulding house late last night with
Mrs. Starr and registered as Frank
johnson and John Wilson, Of Jop
lin, Mo-
The officers learning who the two
men were, surrounded the hotel yes
terday, but were afraid to approach
them outright and attempted to gel
them in a position to shoot on sight.
Henry Starr went alone into the res
taurant and the police followed him
Then Marshal Dana caught one arm
of the noted outlaw and officer Wright
another, while Detective Atkinson COW
cred him with a pair of six shooters.
Starr gave up withouta struggle, but
said to the officers: 1T is good thing
you got the drop on me or there would
have been some corpses around here. :"
The same officers then went to Col
orado City and captured Kid Wilson.
He was armed with a 45-caliber revolver
and would have made a desperate re-
sistance if the officers had not first COW
cred him with pistols.
When the men were brought to jail
an attempt was made to interview them
but without success
After the arrest the officers went to
the Spaulding house and woke up the
woman, who was registered as Mrs.
jackson, but who is really the wife of
Starr. She is about IS years old and
rather prepossessing. She said that
she was married to Starr about six
months ago and that her home is about
200 miles east of here.
A search of the room was made and
under the pillow was found 81, 46O in
greenbacks, which had never been
used, while $500 in gold was found in a
valise.
The woman carried pearl handled
revolver of 8S-caliber. She was closely
questioned and admitted that the man
who was captured was Henry Starr and
that the name of the other one was Kid
Wilson.
There is reward of $1,000 for the
capture of the men.

Fort DODGE, Ia, July 9.-The roll Of
the fearful tornado of Thursday even
ing in this section of northwestern
Iowa has been made up. The dead
number sixty-three and the injured
many scores, of whom at least fifteen
and possible twenty will almost GER
tainly die. The property loss is est.
mated at 500, 900 in Pomeroy and $780,
900 in other parts of the afflicted region.
The scene of the worst desolation was
Pomeroy, where the dead number forty
four and the injured, dozen fatally,
los. In the city hall the worst of the
injured lie and the sights there are ter
rible. Every dwelling in the place
now standing has from two to
eight injured under constant care.
Gov. Boies is on the ground and
is doing all in his power for the
comfort of the wounded. Physicians
and nurses are needed badly. Ten
physicians are all that are here and
calls cannot be promptly answered.
The neighboring cities and towns are
providing nurses literally, but more
are needed. Seventeen of the dead
were buried yesterday and to-day twen-
ty more were laid away.
Fairfield, in Cherokee county, was
visited, swelling the total number
of dead fifteen. Eight more are re-
ported killed at Storm Lake, and many
other places'give notice of one or more
deaths.
Whole families were in many in.
stances wiped out by abe tornado and
houses that contained all the way from
four to eight persons, not more than
one escaped alive. Husbands have
been left without wife or children.
