QUEEN OF OUTLAW BAND.
Something About the Career of Dora
Fox of Oklahoma.

Dora Fox. the queen of the outlaws
Of oklahoma. has been caught, says
the Kansas City Journal. No woman
ever led a stranger life than has Dora
Fox. She is only % years old, but for
eight years the slim. bronZc-faced girl,
with IA mouth and features that not
even her life in outlaw camps has re-
lieved of their beauty, has been the
leader of an outlaw band. She has es-
capped from Jail under the eyes of her
guards; she has led her band through
dozen fights with sheriffs she has
disguised herself and visited towns
where the officers who were after her
were resting and now at last she has
been captured after a chase of years,
which extended across three States and
has been participated in by a dozen
determined sheriifs. The story of this
remarkable girl, told by herself, is as
follows:
my parents died when I was very
little. They left nothing. l had lived
all my life on the plains. l knew
horses and cattle and | knew nothing
else. Naturally. | turned to. the cattle
camps to earn living. That was when
| was II. | cooked and sometimes
helped the cowboys. A year after this
/ commenced the life that brought me
here. | was working on range in
Eastern Texas. There was a pretty
hard crowd of boys on the ranch and
at last l overheard conversation
which showed me that the three of the
men on the ranch We're Martin, Jack
Simmons and Bert Casey, all notorious
outlaws They were planning a raid
one evening when l overheard the
whole thing. In my excitement l made
"A little noise and they discovered me
/ was seized and in half an hour | was
galloping over the range in the direc
ton of the rendezvous with my arms
bound behind me.
when we reached the place Sim
mons told me on account of what
had overheard l would have to remain
prisoner in the camp or become one
of the gang. Take your choice, little
