BELLE BLACK. OUTLAW.

Victim Of Circumstances Over which sAs
Had No Control
Women outlaws are rather rare o
reality, although one Is always reading
Of them-dashing, beautiful girls clad
In sombreros, leather leggins, boots ana
spurs. The capture Of two Of this spe-
cies at Guthrie has dissipated the popu-
lar idea Of the lady bandit. These two
women were neither young, fair nor
dashing. One, Belle Black, whose hus-
band was q member of a gang Of out
laws, Is small, heavy-set, has dark hair
and blue eyes. with rather pleasant
look on her face and no appearance Of
being q desperate criminal; the other,
Mrs Freeman, who eloped from her
husband with the leader OF the gang,
Zip Wyatt, is tall, slender. with snap
ping black eyes, thick. black hair and q
sinister, peculiar expression on her
face. For the past year the gang has
defied sheriffs and has robbed right and
left. It was not known that there
were women with them, as during the
raids the two women always dressed
like men. kfterward dressed as farm
ers' wives they would enter towns and
sell plumber and buy provisions, all
without arousing suspicion. Mrs.
Black and her husabnd came to west
ern Kansas six years ago and were
financially embarrassed through failure
Of crops. They took to stealing cattle
and were obliged to hide to escape ar
rest. A gang Of desperadoes gradually

once a month to spend his wages In

Mrs. Freeman, who was an Illinois girl
who had formed an incorrect idea Of the
glories of bandits life from too many
trashy novels. He persuaded her to
elope with him after he had killed two
or three men and gone into hiding. He
has often puzzled the sheriffs as they
have fired their rifles at him, point

Origin Of Te0to1al

The late Rev. Joel Jewell. Q Prsshy-
terrain clergyman, reyivalist and &c
tive temperance worker. II said TO have
originated the word ''tsstotal" IN this
wise:
When quite . young man, not thsn
ordained, Mr.. Jewell was conducting .
public temperance meeting tn Hector,
n. Y. For the pledge against using dis
titled liquors. he introduced the letters
20. P" meaning "old pledge" and
T. for total" the latter inclndine
both distilled and fsrmentsd liquors.
When taking the names Of those who
mad expressed q desire 10 sign the
pledge a young occupant of q gallery
seat called ont, Add my nAns and Q
I, for am @T-totaler.'"
After this the word ''tsetotal- was
adopted by Mr.. Jewell In his writings
and speeches

g-six years old,
with good manners, fine clothes and
an English accent With these attrac-
tons. Saunders was not content with
one wife. Chief Of Police Murphy says
Saunders Is certainly a bigamist, and
perhaps has as many wives rs an Afri-
can king. Saunders, the police say,
came to this country about q year ago.
He got to know Miss Annie Everett,
who Is pretty, 1s years old, the daugh-
ter: Of Joseph Everett, of No. s45 Bed
ford avenue, Brooklyn. Saunders
swears he advertised for a wife, and
chose Miss Everett from a dozen wo-
men who answered, sending their pho
tographs. Having formed Miss Ever
ett's acquaintance, Saunders told her
he was a civil engineer, a single man,
the son Of a wealthy Scorchman. They
were married ten days ago. Saunders
suggested that they go to Scotland on
their honeymoon, visit his parents, re-
ha- Ia until autumn and then return
III Ike up their residence in Brook
~ .Ir. Everett gave his daughter
Sc . to pay for the trip, Saunders ex-
planning that, while he was hard up at
the moment, he would have plenty Of
money when he reached Scotland.
Saunders and his pretty wife arrived
In Liverpool. He took her to q cheap
hotel. He suggested that he 90 to his
fathers house and prepare for her
coming and, taking all her money, he
left her. The young woman was
stunned by the receipt Of a letter from
him In few days.
Il will never return to you," Saun-
ders wrote, $50 you had best 90 back TO
the States"
The bride passed two days and two
nights in her room weeping. The pro-
prietor Of the hotel learned of Saun-
der's desertion Of her and cabled to her
father. Within q month Of her de-
parture from Brooklyn she was under
her fathers roof again, ne having sent
her money.
A friend OF this Mrs. Saunders told
her she had seen Saunders in Jersey
City about fortnight ago. Chief Muir
ply was asked to look for him. De-
tectives Doyle and Dalton found him at
a boarding house, In Hoboken. Saun-
ders evidently suspected that the police
were after him, for he had his trunk
packed and had told his landlady he
was about to 90. When Saunders saw
Doyle and Dalton he ran through the
house and tried to jump over the back
fence, but they caught him.
In Saunders trunk the police found
q certificate setting forth that Edwin
Fraser and Ellen Meneally were mar
ried In Belfast, Ireland, Nov. Is, 1891.
Many letters were in the trunk dated
Belfast, and signed Your loving wife,
Ellen" All we're full Of expressions
OF intense affection. One bore date
April 6, 1896, and plainly was In answer
to a letter from Ellen's husband. She
CONGRATULATED him on the fine position

photographs Of several young women
and numerous letters In different hand
writings, all feminine.
