While not admitting that she stole
the horse from G. Money, for which
she was arrested, she says that she
has some recollection Of taking q
horseback ride on a strange horse
about the time the Money horse dis
appeared. According to the evidence
secured by Deputy Sheriff Flower,
she crossed the Grand river with the
Money horse on the night that 1t dis
appeared. She was attired in full
hunting and camping costume, and to
the ferryman who asked her if she
was going camping she replied that
she might spend the night on horse
back, and if she got tired she would
sleep on a slicker that she was wear
ing.
Evidence Against Her. ~.
The horse was located in the pos
session of a fullblood in Cherokee
county, who stated that he had bought
it from Della Wiley. The woman, 1t
is understood has spent the past two
months in fishing and camping near
the Illinois river, and on her return
to Wagner she was arrested.
When asked to talk about her life
Mrs. Wiley said: whats the use?
I'm tho one that is living it. I like
to ride and shoot and fish and sleep
out of doors, and when it comes to
breaking ponies or roping a wild steer
I will take off my hat to none of the
boys in this country"
1t is said in Wagner that she is
a wonderful rifle shot, and that when
it comes to riding she outclasses any
other woman in northern Oklahoma.
She is at home in the saddle and
spends most of her life in the open.

Rich Girl in Jail \.
FOR Horse Stealing
INDIAN GIRL, OWNER OF MUCH
" LAND HELD RESPONSIBLE
IN FOR RAIDS. Nd"

p Wagner, Okla, Oct. 21.-Charged
with horse stealing, one of the hand
soonest Creek women in Oklahoma is
in Jail at this place. Her name is
Della Wiley. She owns three valu-
able allotments OF land, block, of
around in the town of Wagner, a
farm near this place and 100 acres.
near Sapulpa.
tx Whats the use of living unless
you are alive?'e This is the reply of
Della Wiley, when asked to explain
her conduct, She says that she was
married to full-blood Indian named
Wiley, several years ago, but later
discarded him and since that time has
been playing the game alone. Much
OF her time has been spent in the
romantic Cherokee hills with daring
companions.
@ That the woman under arrest is in
directly, at least, responsible for con-
siderable horse stealing in Wagner
and Rogers counties developed Tues
day, after a short conference with
her attorney, J. H: Graves. Sheriff
Long. and Deputy FLOWERS were given
some. valuable tips and warrants were
issued for the arrest Of two Cherokee
girls who have been making Wagner
their home for some time, and who,
it is alleged, have been engaged in
stealing horses and selling the ami
mails to-. fullblood Cherokees in the
mountains east of Wagner. Mrs.
Wiley is a three-quarter Indian, her
father being French and Creek mixed,
and her mother a full blood Creek.
She was born in the neighborhood of
Sapulpa % years ago, but for a num-
Der of years has resided in Wagner
county. She says she enjoys the COM
pany Of the whites and Cherokees and
explains by saying that her French
blood is something to be proud of. -
She is Proud of Beauty.
The woman is somewhat vain and
proud of her looks and when she was
taken to the photograph gallery to
have her picture taken, she said it
was a shame that she did not have
her party dress with her for, as she
put it, lin my evening gown I Ger
tainly look stunning" She said that
she was writing novel which would
contain the story of her life and that
her picture would appear in the move
In Indian costume.
Nothing is too good for Mrs. Wiley
and before she was in Jail two hours
arrangements had been made with
one Of the hotels to furnish her three
meals day, and her cell at the jail
was made as comfortable as possible
She said that it was all over between
herself and q. E. Whaley, the Virgin
ian who was arrested with her.
II decline to pay for Whaley's
meals" she advised the jailer. And

that he is perhaps entitled 10 little
slightly above his average work,
In any case. since tho public has asked
n1c this question IL will pardon me for
