ROMANTIC STORY
OF A LOST MINE
MOIIie Foxwater Killed Husbands
Who Tried to Obtain Her Secret.

NuthiiVs ChihhOhiff fo'pes m
Usage Indian woman named Foxwater
was arrested at Tulsa a few days ago
ou the charge of having murdered
four white men who had been her hus-
bands within the past ten years. The
beached bones of three of the men
were lately found by prospecting
party-at least, they were supposed to
have been the bones Of the white men--.
and later the woman confessed that
they were. She confessed that she
killed these men because they tried to
wiring from her the secret Of n lost
gold mine, the whereabouts of which
she says she has knowledge.
She refused to tell them, and they
went in search of 1t, and with the
knowledge they had from time to time
picked up from her, were likely to To-
cate 1t. Then, she said she was COM
PEELED TO kill them, as she would anyone
else who would seek to carry away the
gold of her forefathcrs.
Millie Foxwater Is not an ugly,
coarse featured woman, as many
squaws are, but she possesses many
of the refined features of her white
sisters. She has been well educated
and has also travelled much. Ten years
ago she was married to a young man
named Mercer. He came from Illinois
to the Indian country. There had al
ways been more or less romance sur
rounding this maiden, and the fact
that she possessed secret of a&lost
gold mine was enough to cause any
young man with romantic tendencies
to seek her out. Mercer did so to his
sorrow.
He was married to the young half
breed squaw, and she furnished the
money to take an extended wedding
trip. He was given plenty of money
to spend and did not have to work, but
all the time he sought to know whence
the gold came. One day he was missed
by his companions. She said he was
tired of living with her, and that was
all there was to it. People supposed
he had returned to his home in Illinois.
Three years later she was married
again. This time A. r. Frlems, farm
hand, was charmed into thinking he
could worm from her the secret of her
wealth and hidden treasure. But it
was not long until he disappeared as
mysteriously as his predecessor. She
was suspected of numbering him, but
no one could offer sufficient proof to
hold her, and the man never had any
relatives who cared enough to attempt
to procure proof against her.
Four years ago she was married
again, this time to man named Smith.
He was taken on long trip, and wined
and dined at the expense of the Indian.
In less than six months his curiosity
got the better of him and he was put
out of the way for trying to make his
wife tell him where she got her gold.
This summer she was married. for the
fourth time, to William Winters. He
died three weeks ago, and his body was
found by the roadside. The doctors
found he had been given slow poison,
and it killed him while on the way

horse. His body was found aud car
rled to a physician before she knew
anything about it.
a warrant was sworn out for the mr.
rest of the woman and she was placed
in Jail at Tulsa. She then gave out
the following confession:
"When my father died he told me a
secret about mine supposed to be
lost. This mine he took from a party
of Spaniards whom he killed. He told
ways lived off the gold in this mine,
and don't care who knows it. | anu

true, and in each case have done well

me to tell them where the mine was,

wanted to know where this money Of

all four of them, but say that | did
it in self-defense. Did they not follow
me and try to get me to tell them
where the mine was? Some Of them
even threatened to kill me if did not
tell them. think have good grounds
for self-defense, and / will fight the
case to the bitter end"
There is a legend regarding this
mine. 1t is known as the Louisiana
mine and is somewhere in the Cher
okee Nation, Indian Territory. In early
days the Usage Indians had this
country for their hunting ground and
white men who visited them returned
East with stories how the Indians
used gold for bullets and shod their
horses hoofs with it instead of steel,
because the gold was more plentiful.
At that time the Indian told these white
men that they were in possession of
vast mines in their domain which they
had caused the Spaniards to give up.
Efforts to learn where these mines
were proved futile. At different times
many men have made the trip through
the Grand river hills with the hope
of finding the mines. 1t is dangerous
even at this time for a white man to
traverse this country, from the fact
that it is populated only by ful,-blood
Indians, who hate the sight of white
man in what they term theic sacred
domain
1t was near the Grand river hills
that Mollie Foxwater always lived and
she often made long trips into the hills
alone at night. Her husbands used
to come into Tulsa many times and
|'tell the inhabitants about their wife
being away on visit to her lost mine
She owns fine stone house and had
a number of servants to wait upon her.
She dressed well and always went
heavily armed until she was arrested.
She had her house furnished with
goods from the Eastern markets and
she read all the books Of the day.

EVOLUTION OF THE

the market only small number were
sold. People were not merely indiffer-
ent, but were antagonistic.
But the typewriter had a usefulness
which was not TO be ignored. Among
the first to recognize this fact were
court stenoSraphers, who found that
with the aid of the typewriter several
copies of the record could be turned out
at once with neatness and despatch.
Lawyers, having the advantage of the
machine thus brought home TO them.
soon began to adopt it for private use.
Courts of law. which for centuries hat
required all papers to be submitted in
handwriting. began to require such
papers to be typewritten; and today
the handwritten legal document is the
exception rather than the rule.
Came to the Front.
The large business houses, having an
extensive correspondence, being always
ready for improvements and tlme-sav-
ing methods, were next to adopt the
typewriter, and the commercial world
in general soon followed their example.
The work of the typewriter was its own
best recommendation. AS typewritten
letters and papers were spread through
out the country, there was awakened a
general interest in the machine and its
work. 1t began to find it's way into
every branch of business and profess
sional life; authors and newspaper men
have adopted it; telegraph companies
have made it part of their equipment,
for so rapidly can messages be tran
scribed that the receiving operator can
not only keep pace with the sender, but
can maintain speed so great as to bring
about the abbreviation of the tele-
graphic code. In fact. there is not a
single business or profession in which
the typewriter has not established its

by the Department of State in April,
1895. The official communications of the
