This would be her home, of course,

and not too much, of course, but what
we did remark would be to your credit.

a WOMAN FIEND.


As soon as possible after the close OF
the war the Federal authorities began
to hunt down Quantrell's guerrillas
every man of whom was declared an
outlaw, although it was known for a
fact that Quantrell had been regularly
commissioned.
The men scattered over a wide ter
ritory, and when the pursuit became
too hot some of them crossed over
into Mexico, and others hid out in
the swamDs and thickets and had a
price set on their heads.
Among others was a woman known
as Mon Davis. dressed always in mems
clothes, and she was said to be one OF
the worst of the lot. She had killed
more men in battle and shot down
more prisoners after surrender than
any two men, hSe took uD her abode
in the southeast corner of the Indian
Territory, where she had friends. but
was seen and heard of for a hundred
miles along the Arkansas line. My
orders from headquarters in Arkansas
IN regard to this woman were:
Take such force as you think neces-
sary and go in pursuit of the woman
known as Mon Davis. If possible, cap
ture her alive, that she may be hanged
for her many cold-blcoded murders
You are expected to either bring her
in as a prisoner or furnish conclusive
proof of her death"
I took only one man with me as
rode out from Van Buren, to follow a
trail only one day old. All that first
day we were not over five miles behind
the woman at any hour. and we rode
forty miles. She was headed for the
Choctaw country, and she knew the
roads better than we did, and gave us
the slip when darkness came.
We picked up her trail next day, but
II was slow work following it. Some
of the people we met gave us straight
information. but others, who evidently
knew and sympathized with the wo-
man, put us on a false scent. Mile by
mile we traced her south to the Texas
border. She rested for two days with
a family living on the north bank of
the Red river, south of Doaksville, and
then followed the stream down into
Arkansas
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-09-13

In some way the woman got in
formation that we were hanging to her
trail. and she laid a plan to wipe us
out Near the Arkansas line. where the
highway crossed a swamp, she went
into ambush and awaited our coming.
We were then one day behind her.
There was a souatter's cabin at the
west end of the swamp she got TO
this cabin at noon and remained over
night with the family, passing as a
man and claiming to have been griev-
ously wronged. She announced that
a sheriff was after her to make an
unjust arrest, and the squatter loaned
her a double barreled shotgun and ad-
vised her to resist to the death This
came to be known some weeks after
wards, and he had to flee the country
to escape arrest.
Just at the cabin a road came in from
the north, and as we reached it we met
two men on their way to Fulton we
made inquiries of them, but they could
tell US nothing. They took the road
across the swamp and were shot from
their saddles by the woman in ambush,
while we were riding in another direc-
ton. Before we could hit her trail
again she had half a days start of US,
and knew that she had shot the wrong
men. She went off in haste and made
for the mountains
Our pursuit was slow, but we man.
aged to keep the trail. and we finally
reached a cabin at the foot of the noun
tains where she had been guest the
previous night. She mad passed as a
man again, and told a story to awaken
sympathy. When we had satisfied the
ca bineer as to the woman's true char
acter. ne informed us that she had gone
to the northwest. over the mountain.
We were then only three hours behind
her Her horse had cast two shoes, and
she would likely halt on the crest of
the mountain to get him resnod.
The mountain road was a rough one,
but we pushed on at a reckless pace.
AS a consequence she arrived at the
hamlet on the crest only half an hour
ahead of US. Her horse was in the
hands of the blacksmith. and she sat
on stone at the door of the shop when
we came into view.
We were not over thirty rods away
when she caught sight of US. She in
