10000 pounds.

from southeastern Kansas. procured a
livery rig and went to Mr.. Hughes
home. She had been there but a few
days. however. when an officer followed
her, placed her under arrest and took
her back to Kansas. From the msager
facts learned IL seems she had formerly
been engaged in teaching school IN
southwest Missouri, and while 50 en-
gagged formed the acquaintance OF an
outlaw from the Indian territory named
HUFFMAN. AS Desdemona became en-
captured with Othello for the deeds Of
daring he related, this little Missouri
school teacher became fascinated by the
bold outlaw OF the Indian country and
she forsook school, friends and all for
him.
There was another gay and dashing
robber in the gang who looked upon
Eary's charms In a lovelike way, re-
gardless Of Huffman's prior claims
thereto. Mary became smitten with the
new robber lover and forgetting HUFF
man, ran OF with the new love. Such
actions upon the part Of Mary and her
new outlaw lover aroused the ire Of
HUFFMAN, and, arming himself with a
whole arsenal, he swore dire vengeance
upon lover No. 2, and started upon his
trail
Week before last the two rivals met
at Caney, Kan. and when the smoke
cleared away both men were lying
bleeding upon the floor, with empty six
shooters beside them. They were placed
under arrest and physicians summoned
to attend them. An examination re-
vealed that they were both pretty thor
oughly shot up" but their wounds not
necessarily fatal. BY telling each that
the other confessed a confession was
drawn out of each, in which the fact
was disclosed that they were members
Of counterfeiting band. and that Mary
Smith, the school teacher, was the per-
son relied upon to get the money into
circulation. In the meantime Mary had
decamped, but officers were upon her
trail and located her in Noble county.
The arrest of this Miss Smith revives
interest In another notorious woman
known as Jessie E. Findley,
who was indicted by the federal grand |
jury Of Oklahoma county on Nov. 26 |
last, and is now confined in the United |
States jail awaiting her trial, which |
will take place ut the next term Of the |
United States court. The indictment |
against her Is based on the fact that she |
took weapons into the county Jail OF /
Oklahoma county in June last to assist |
the Christian outlaws in making their |
escape, which they accomplished on |
June 80, 1886, and killed Chief Of Police |
Jones. There is great contrast be-
tween Miss Smith and Miss Findley; the
former is as yet an embryo in crime,
while the Findley girl. although but IL |
years Of age, possesses finished GRIM
inal education and is hardened to the
wild, uncertain life of the frontier out
law.
Jessie came to Oklahoma when the
country was thrown open to settlement
seven years ago from Ozark, Mo-, where
she was born and reared. Her father,
who was a carpenter, died when Jessie
was 3 years of age, leaving a wife and

forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes That is why il is the only
remedy with millions of families, and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which Is manufactured by the Cali

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but il in peed of a laxative,
