woman sympathizer with outlaws in
Oklahoma was the famous Miss Tom
King. She has not been heard from for
the last two years and undoubtedly has
| settled down for good.
But other women have apparently
| succeeded her in this queer vocation. 1t
is fact that the so-called female
bandits Of Oklahoma are not criminals
| except in being accomplices of the out
| laws. Within the last three months six
women have been arrested for this
breach of law technically known as
"harboring outlaws"
Miss Jessie Findlay, the captivating
| young person now in Jail in Oklahoma
| City is one of these and the best look
| ing and most womanly of all. The two
women in jail here who were captured
near Alva are not good looking and are
| bad Characters. The three latest oc-
QUESTIONS are Mrs. Wade and her two
daughters. They were arrested in Paw
| nee county Tuesday and brought be-
| fore United States commissioner who
| pound them over to the next term Of
! court on the charge of harboring out
! laws. Mrs. Wade herself is common
| place looking woman. but her two
/ daughters are very pretty in form and
face and lady-like. 1t is not known
whether either is the sweetheart of one
| of the gang" or not.
| GENERAL But NOT CONCERTED.
There can now be said to be a general
| fbut not conerted) movement all over
| the territory against outlaws. The
organization in Pottawatomie county
has put stop to depredations there
and it is now known that it was a posse
OF farmers. and not deputy marshals,
as reported in the Eagle, which had the
desperate encounter with the law
breakers near Hennessey this week.
The killing of one man and the cap
ture of two others was done by a posse
or farmers who recently organized to
hunt down thieves who have been al
most nightly stealing horses in the vi
cinity of Sheridan along the Skeleton
and who came upon the thieves Tues
day evning with the stolen property in
their possession and at once opened fire
upon them with revolver, shot gun and
Winchester, killing one and capturing
the others. The dead man and the pris-
oners were taken to Hennessey Tues
day night and from there to Kingfisher
Yesterday. and the two men lodged in
the county Jail at the latter place on the
charge of stealing horses.
The dead man bears a resemblance to
Zip Wyatt and many of the vigilant
posse believe they have brought down
the notorious outlaw. but many who
know Wyatt well declare il is not him.
The idea of one of the prisoners being
Bill Doolin is hooted at by the Daltons.
and it is believed they are only common
horse thieves. When taken from the
train at Kingfisher the one supposed to
be Doolin asked that his face be covered
with h5Aidkerchief to prevent identi-
fcatiOn by the crowd, an attempt at
dramatic effect that brands him as an
amateur outlaw who has obtained all
his cues from dime novels
FOR RACIAL GOOD.
The colored men of the territory have
taken an important step. the only aues-
ton being its possible impracticabjlity |
This is call for meeting in Kingfish- |
er in August to adopt plans for the en-
lightment of the negro of Oklahoma. |
The call is igned by W. II. c. Irvine and |
q. w. F. Sawyer of Chandler; T. c. |
Telleferro and J. G. Robbins of Perry: /
and William English, /. F. Norris and |
J. M. Lloyd of Pawnee county, and reads |
as follows:
purpose OF securing such literture as |
will enighten us upon the subjects that |
viii come before the American people |
in the campaign of 1896
2. To take into consideration matters
pertaining TO our racial advancement,
and such other matters (non-politicaD
as may be brought before US for racial
good.
The politicians here are skeptica1
about this. They say that if an organ
iZation is effected. it will become politi-
cal in spite of itself and on that ac-
count the idea of the meeting is gener-
ally discouraged.
CROWD WAS FOR SILVER.
Oklahoma City's debate on finance is
over. 1t came off Tuesday night and
this is the fair estimate Of the Times
Journal of that place:
Hon. D. A. Harvey presided and in
PRODUCED the speakers. Mr.. Murphy
using the first hour and Mr.. Clark using
the same time TO reply.
Mr.. Murphy had a we'll prepared
speech. He had gone deep into the sub
ject, and put MS propositions forward
in forcible language. backed up with
statistics and governmental reports
that made his presentation OF his side a |
strong one. He was given close atten-
ton and liberal applause at the close.
MIR. Clark followed in an address
without manuscript, in which he took
up most of the propositions laid down
by Mr.. Murphy and dealt with them
from free silver view. While. as
of his not having written
his speech ii did not follow so closely
Dne line Of reasoning, yet he showed
himself familiar with his subject, and
ike Mr.. Murphy. proved his asserstions
by documents and statistics. There
was no miStaking the audience. They !
we're with Mr.. Clarke Not so much on
account Of his speech as on account OF
heir own views
Each speaker treated the other fair
Y. the discussion being on a plane To
which all could give assent. They were
wo well delivered speeches, we'll worth
he hearing, although il is not probable
hat any great change in sentiment on
'ither side will follow
