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 at the next term of the

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 90. 1895. and killed Chief OF Police
Jones. There is great contrast be-
