OUTLAW TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
Story of Bob McCune Is Told by Doc
tor From Iowa.


Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 1.-THE officers
IN Oklahoma have been trying to get
some of the history OF the fugitive from
justice known as Bob McCune, who
is some place in the new country a Car
thage doctor, who been watching affairs
very closely in Oklahoma tells story
which may demonstrate that McCune has
been an outlaw for many years.
A brief item in an Oklahoma paper
calls forth an interesting reminiscence
from Dr. ~ II. Huh of Carthage. No
Twenty-Five years ago the doctor was liv-
ing in Henry county, Iowa, and there
being an unusual amount OF sickness
that fall he hired big stout man named
Holland McCune to drive for him during
the month Of August and the four or five
months following. AIcCune seemed an ex-
emplary fellow. but the next spring he
killed highly esteemed farmer of the
neighborhood named William Riley be-
cause Riley accused him of stealing
wheat. The circumstances of the murder
were pretty well established after awhile
as well as the stealing Of the wheat, and
SIcCune was put in jail. He and FIVE
safe blowers. who were in jail, dug out
one night, but all were caught except
NcCune, who, after weeks of chase, fin
ally escaped by d narrow margin and was
never heard from again until this month.
The Oklahoma item which Dr. Hull saw
reads:
Persons who have recently been VIC
Tins OF the Reed-Cravens band Of out
laws operating in southern Oklahoma,
have identified one member of the gang
as Holland McCune, familiarly called
Bob. who has been wanted for the
murder OF a man named Riley in the Vi
clnity of Washington, Iowa, for nearly
twenty years" 1t is now thought that
McCune may have been an outlaw on the
frontier all the twenty-five years since
he escaped from Iowa.

News of the Fighters.

Not since the arrangements were hrst
made for the big fistic battle between JEFF
fries and Rubin, TO take place in Cincin-
natl, year ago, which did not occur on ac-
count of the interference of Governor
Nash, have the followers of the pugilistic
game in Indianapolis taken such an interest
in coming battle is being shown in the
fight between Terry McGovern and Dave
Sullivan, scheduled to take place at Louis
vile Feb %. Plans which are yet in an
embryonic state. are being made for a large
delegation Of Indianapolis people to go to
Louisville to witness the battle between the
little fighters. From present indications
there will be at least one hundred men
from indianapolis who will avail them
selves of the short ride to Louisville in or
der to witness the contest.
McGovern has a large following in In
dianapolis, and many believe that he will
win in his battle with Sullivan. Young
Corbett, McGovern's conqueror has al
| ready promised the little Brooklyn fighter a
return match, but a great deal depends on
| the outcome of the fight between McGoVern
and Sullivan as to who will be entitled to
recognition from the present champion.
Should Sullivan win he will be in line to
| demand a match with young COrbett, while
| if McGovern is victorious Corbett cannot
well refuse granting McGoVern an early
| fight The Louisville promoters are pre-
pairing a first-class programme for the pre-
| liminaries to the McGoveTn-Sullivan con-
| test.
Sullivan has been in training several
weeks for the battle and has already an
nounced that he will fight along the same
lines that Corbett did when the latter met
McGoVern. The Brooklyn lad recently had
an operation performed upon his nose and
| resumed training only last week. He will
do light work for a few days, but has
plenty of time to prepare for the coming
