SIN HASN'T MARKED HER YET.

Jessie Findlay, the Barefooted Cir, the
Accomplish Of the Christian Bro hers.
Oklahoma City. July 1S.-Following
are the details of the capture of Jessie
Finlay, the woman accomplice of the
Christian brothers, as given by the
Times-Journal:
Deputies W. c. Wade and W. H.
Springfield of Pottawatomie county,
came up from Norman this morning,
having in custody Jessie Finlay, the
girl who is supposed to have carried re-
volvers into the Jail to the Christian
brothers. She was captured at negro
hut in the Seminole nation, just as she
was exchanging her male garb for fe-
male attire She had not got her shoes
on when the officers arrived, and al
though polite to her they refused to al
low further time for toilet, but hurried
ly placed her upon mans sadie and
the three struck out for Norman, being
on their way back this way in a very
few minutes from the time the hut was
reached. The sixty miles to Norman is
all heavy riding, and the trip was
about all the girl could stand on horse
back.
The alertness Of the deputies was due
to a well authenticated rumor that the
Christian sympathizers would under
take to ambush the deputies and re-
cover the girl. They got here, how
ever, without any mishap, and Jessie is
now in the hands of Sheriff De Ford.
Jessie Finlay got acquainted with the
Christians after they were lodged in
the Oklahoma county Jail, she getting
access to the Jail as a friend of Mrs.
Davis. who made frequent visits to sec
her husband. About three days before
the Christians broke Jail Jessie struck
out for the woods of Pottawatome
county, and it was through remarks
she let drop down in that country that
occasioned the sending of the warning
dispatch to the jailor here. AS soon as
the b reak occurred search was begun
for the woman. She was kept hid out
of sight of the officers until Monday
when she was taken in. 1t is rumored
that she has confessed all. but the Of
fcers will not talk about it. Captain
De Ford is happy. and it is quite prob
able, judging from his actions, that he
has the gang well in hand, and that he
will be able to turn over the court
every person who was responsible for
the escape of the Christians and Casey.
Miss Finlay is about 20-years-old,
wears her hair cut short, and if neatly
attired would not be at all bad looking.
Her wayward career has been too short
to show its effects upon her face TO any
extent.

News of Oklahoma Territory.

Guthrie. o. T., July 1s.-(SpeciaD-
The people of Pottawatomie county
have decided that the outlaws of that
section must go. An organization has
been formed, which, while known by no
particular name, is in fact vig1lante
committee. The county Of Pottawato-
mic has suffered a great deal from the
most daring of outlaws and most con-
susmIoedS 'ssAelQl Yeeus 10 eIqlldtu9l
of outlawry from making with chickens
to holding farmers up on the highway
in broad daylight have been reported at
intervals The reason for this bold
ness upon the part Of desperadoes is
not hard to find. East of Pottawatomle
county lies the Seminole country, wild,
ruggid and unsettled. With its wilder
ness so easily accessible, il is PRACTICAL
ly impossible for the authorities to
have a show with the lawbreakers, as
the latter can break for the Indian
country and find the securest refuge.
Knowing the unequal chance of the
authorities the citizens of the county re-
solved TO take a part in the matter
themselves. Last week, call, signed
by zone Hundren Citizens" was issued
published in the Tecumseh Republic
cam and last Monday meetings were
held in a number of school districts.
The attendance at these meetings was
fair. The men who took part in the dis
cussion as to the ways and means OF
Kidding the county of outlaws talked
plainly and dispassionately. Auxilial
organiza tons We're perfected in each
case, and all school district bodies will
work in unison. 1t is the intention OF
the order TO merely assist the regular
authorities, furnishing them with IN
formation post haste, if necessary, and
responding, if called upon TO aid in pur-
suits or arrests. This determined move
is understood by the desperadoes, and 1t
will, more than likely. put a stop TO
their depredations. at least for a time.

Mtiiiam ". story.

William W. story.
Chicago Record.
1t was a career full Of deeds and
nobly planned activity thai has been
Drought to q close by the death of
William w. Story. Mr.. Story was one
of the richly endowed men whose high
talent. was injured rather than helped
by versatility. Like one or two other
conspicuous Americans of the last fifty
years, his best powers We're dissipated
because they We're not bent TOWARD a
single purpose. A distinguished sculp-
tor and student of art, MI. Story was
also an eSsayist of no mean accomplish
ment, a musician OF culture, a brilliant
conversationalist and social figure, a
poet, q linguist andAa painter. In each
OF these branches he acquitted him
self well enough to command admiring
consideration from all those who move
in the world of art or letters.
How much further he might have
gone had his high talents been directed
toward a single line of endeayor it is
impossible to say, but he must have
won distinction far beyond the ordi-
nary AS it is, his brilliant and useful
life was enough to inspire c~ovetousness
IN many men. But for those people
who worship versatility" the sum total
OF his performance may be put for
ward as. O lesson hat ability in many
things Is not so good as ability in a
single line. The men who have but a
single aim ma not make so brilliant a
ngure, but they go further.
