MISS "TOM KING"
The Story of the Escape of This Beautiful
but Notorious Thief.

The Story of the Escape of This Beautiful
but Notorious Thief.
The escape of the notorious female
horse thief, known in the territory as
tom King" from the county Jail turns
out to be one of the romances of the new
country.
tom" is very handsome and fasci-
mating young lady of about % years,
with voice like a dove and an eye
that knows no deceit. She is quarter
blood Cherokee Indian, and many of her
relatives and people live near Spring
field, Mo-, whence her ancestors emf
grated to the Cherokee country. Her
operations in the territory have been ex-
tensive and notorious, and her captures
frequent, but she is never brought to
trial. About year ago she was arrest
ed for completely in some of the Whar-
ton train robberies, and after being held
in the Guthrie Jail for some time unac-
countably escaped. A while later she
was held in the Oklahoma City Jail, and
thence escaped in the same inexplicable
way. For the last three months she has
been in the new Jail of Canadian county.
Last night she walked out the open
doors of the Jail dressed in her ordinary
female habiliments, but under which she
had taken the precaution to wear her
full suit of mems clothing, which the
courtesy of the officers allowed her to
keep. Outside of the door the skirts dis
appeared, and a very good looking,
youthful man apparently bestrode a con-
venient horse and rode safely out of the
city. 1t would mystify the most expert
to detect the woman in the garb she
wore. The under sheriff of the county
has not been seen since a few minutes
before the escape, and two of his five
horses are not to be found.
Bloodhounds were put upon the trail,
but they trailed to where the horse stood
and there stopped. The grand jury in
vestigated the case of the escape, and
it is reported that bill was found
against one of the deputy sheriffs. It is
known that the disappearing officer was
much taken with the comely woman.
She was being held here for horse steal
ing, at which she was expert, but other
charges of horse stealing and train rob-
berry were standing against her.-Cor.

quarters there for four months by order OF
General Dix. The plan of the conspira-
tors was to burn Lovejoy's, French's, the
Aston House, the Albemarle, the Fifth
Avenue and the La Fargo House. Two of
the men arrested with him at that time
were Captain Kennedy and Captain Bed
loe. These two were found guilty of con-
spiracy. Captain Kennedy was hanged
at Fort Lafayette, and Captain Bedloe
paid the death penalty on Bedloe's Is
land in New York harbor. Ward was
sent to Fort Lafayette, where he was con-
fined for several months, but he finally
managed to get clear and was sent south.
Ward was also suspected of being con-
cerned in the burning of Barnum's muse
UNI in July, 1865, but the evidence against
him was not strong enough to warrant q
conviction.
The colonel met NJ. W. Pape of Baton
Rouge in Woodville, Miss, early in the
seventies and forged Pape's name to a
check for 81, 100. For that offense he spent
year in jail in Mississippi, and after his
release went to New York and introduced
himself as H. W. Keller of Woodville,
Miss. BY this representation he secured
from W. G. Browning & Co. of New
York suit of clothes and 500 in cash in
exchange for worthless check.
He again appeared in New York city in
August, 1884, and swindled a number of
merchants by means of forged letters Of
introduction and bogus checks. He rep
resented himself as captain of the steamer
Eclipse, running between New Orleans
and New York, and in another place stat
ed that he was about to fit up large bill
lard room in New Orleans. Following
this he practiced his schemes in Boston,
Providence, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincin-
natl, ST. Louis, Louisville and Philadel-
phia.
In July, 1885, Ward again put in an ap-
pearance in New York, and on the Goth
was arrested for being concerned in the
swindles of the previous fall. He was
sentenced to three years In the state prison.
He was released on Feb. 10, 1888. The
following July he was arrested in Cincin-
natl. 1t is said that the colonel's right
name is Albert G. Ward and that his fam
lily Is highly respectable.

In an Interview With Reporter She

In an Interview With a Reporter she
Reviews Her Experience and Tells
the Real Cause of the Miracle.
From the Argus, Alpena, Mich.l
We have long known Mrs. Jas. M.
Todd, of Long Rapids, Alpena Co.,
Mich. She has been sad cripple.
Many of her friends know the story
of her recovery; for the benefit OF those
who do not we publish it today.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostrarion, and i'll few
months with muscular and in1amma-
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her heart,
then her head. Her feet became 50
swollen she could wear nothing on
them; her hands were drawn all out Of
shape. Her eyes were swollen shut
more than half the time, her knee
Joints terribly swollen and for eighteen
months she had to be held up to be
dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, and the skin was so dry and
cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by a score of physicians, and has also
spent much time at Ann ArbOr under
best medical advice. All said her
trouble was brought on by hard work
and that medicine would not cure, and
that rest was the only thing which
would ease her. After going to live
with her daughter she became entirely
helpless and could not even raise her
arms to cover herself at night. The
interesting part of the story follows i'll
her own words:
81 was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, and at last
did so. In three days after commenced
taking Pink Pills l could sit up and
dress myself, and after using them six
weeks 1 went home and commenced
working. l continued taking the pills,
until now | begin to forget my clutches,
and can go up and down stairs without
aid. l am truly a living wonder, walk
ing out of doors without assistance.
'Now, if l can say anything to in
duce those who have suffered as | have,
to try Pink Pills, shall gladly do SO.
If other like sufferers will try Pink
Pills according to directions, they will
have reason to thank God for creating
men who are able to conquer that ter
rible disease, rheumatism. l have i'll
my own neighborhood recommended
Pink Pills for the after effect of la
grippe, and weak women with impure
blood, and with good results
Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith
in the curative powers of Pink Pills,
and says they have brought a poor,
helpless cripple back to do her own
milking, churning, washing, sewing,
knitting, and in fact about all of her
household duties, thanks to DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail
from DR.. Williams Medicine Company,
Schenectady, N. Y, for SOC. per box,

ton and glorifcation over our victory in
Colorado, at which a very interesting
ceremony will take place.
One other special feature will be an
evening given to short addresses by the
presidents of auxiliary states, and this
promises to be one of the most charming
evenings of the convention.
