dom was to make the jailers fall IN
love with her. Il Is said she always
succeeded In making them love her
and that the iailers halfway admit II
by saying that she hypnotized them.
in either event the result has been the
same-Dora escaped.
About three months ago this remark
able woman was arrested in Blaine
county, Oklahoma, after a hard chase.
She was charged with wholesale horse
stealing and had in her possession at
the time nineteen horses which she Is
supposed to have stolen. The officers
claimed that Dora was really the head
OF a gang OF horse thieves which op-
Grated extensively in Oklahoma and
the Indian territory for several months,
much to the worry Of the officers.
Dora was placed in the Jail at King
fisher and remained there several
weeks before she managed to free her
self again. The officers o o began an
other search for her and worked hard
to find some good clew to her where
abouts. All Of the officers in the neigh
borhood assisted in the hunt, as she
did not confne her operations to any
one county.
A few days ago she visited her old
haunts on the Arkansas river east Of
Perry, where she used to entertain tie
Dalton gang, and 1t was there she was
finally located by the officers. She was
with one Of the outlaws with whom
she had been associated in the profess
sion Of stealing horses, and it is sup
posed they were planning another raid.
AS soon as the officers received word
that Dora Cox was in the neighbor-
ping place. Dora received word Of
their coming and left the place in such
haste that she was b%arefooted and
~bareheaded, with the officers not very
far behind her. Then came one of the
most interesting chases ever seen. Dora
led them a merry chase through
swamps and thickets and in and out Of
timber, over hills ard through rivers.
Sometimes they were close to her and
sometimes they were not, but all the
time the pursuers were determined
that this time she should not escape
them.
Finally, after a pursuit which lasted
thirty-six hours, they succeeded in
overtaking her near Earlsboro. Before
they caught up with her, Dora's rifle
had become useless as the result of a
fall off her horse. so that she could
not use it. Nevertheless when the Of
fcers approached her she leveled her
rifle at them and warned them that to
approach her meant to die. All but
n man stopped. He walked boldly
forward and when the others saw that
she could not shoot they went up to
her and she was ono more a prisoner.

that every crime which has checked
the human race was committed by ,-e
people chosen Of God. For facts he has
the fanatics own contempt, and he will
twist the truth to back an argument
with the easy assurance Of one who
knows that he appeals not to the intel
ligence, but to- the passions Of men.
Though he adopts as his motto France

mon charge Of Judaism, most Of the he
roes who in modern times have worked
and fought for the glory Of France. For
instance, Napoleon is a Jew, and so his
incompatible genius is turned into a
kind of luck. "He had but to appear, -
says the Jew batter, for everything to
succeed" He took Malta the impreg-

language is so nightly overcharged
that only excitement lends it meaning.

village Of Earlsboro, Ok, a few days

Dora Cox is the present name OF the
most noted woman outlaw that ever
lived in Oklahoma. She has had many
other names during the years she has
been living in the territory. Among
her nor recent aliases are Dora
hawthorn, Darling Nell' and Buck
skin Nell" She at one time assumed
the cognomen Of Little Eva" She
has had at least twenty aliases.
The story Of her life is interesting
and would almost rival that Of Jesse
James, the most noted desperate
whose exploits ever laid the foundation
Tor a dime novel. Very little is known
Of her early life or of her parents, as
she is very reticent about her history
and her people. No one who will tell
really knows what her real name Is.
Dora Cox is 40 years old. and for many
years has defed the laws Of God and
man. In a brief period Of confidence
Dora once said that in her younger
lays she was a regular attendant at
church and Sunday school, but that be-
fore reaching her maturity she went

now she is about as tough as a woman

So Decides an English COURT and Railways
Can Collect

A test case Of great Importance to Eng
lish bicyclists which, curiously enough,
was the first OF its kind submitted for de-
cision. was decided az London recently.
The question was whether OF not a bicycle
was personal baggage and whether or
not, accordingly, the railways were re-
quired by act OF Parliament to carry Il
without extra charge, the passenger being
by law entitled to a certain weight of per-
sonal baggage free. The plaintiff sought
to recover the sum charged by the COM
pan for the transportation Of a bicycle,
which Il declared was extra baggage.
The counsel for the plaintiff commended
that the wheel was clearly personal, as IL
was something which the traveller carried
for his own personal convenience and use.
There was no distinction, Il was argued,
between a bicycle and a gun case, a case
Of fishing tackle. an artists easel or a
pair Of roller skates. The railway COM
pany argued that a bicycle was not an
article which a person ordinarily took
about with him. II a bicycle were to be
regarded as personal baggage, It was
urged, then a boat forty feet long would
nave to be 50 regarded and carried free.
The court held that a bicycle was not per-
sonal or ordinary baggage, and that the
railway company was entitled to make
charge for its carriage.
