OLD SCHOOL BANDIT
PICTURESQUE OUTLAW CAPTUR.
ED AFTER BEING WINGED
RY A BOY.

Fort Smith, Ark, April 20.-When
Henry Starr was taken into custody
at Stroud, Okla. after he and his
companions robbed two banks in
broad daylight, the last product OF
outlawry of the old Indian Territory,
nov a part of Oklahoma. was in the
tolls. Starr is the last n of the
"old school" who made history in the
Indian land when it was in its in
fancy. No doubt he is n of the
most picturesque bandits who ever
packed" a gun. STAIRS capture is
the result of the true aim of Paul
Curry, a 16-year-old schoolboy of
Stroud, who shot the bandit in the
leg as he was mounting his horse to
fee with his companions after they
obtained $500 from the banks.
Curry claims a reward Of $1,000

placed on STAIRS head. dead or alive.

perado in 1891 when he participated
in a robbery OF an express office at
Nowata, Okla, in which a deputy
United States marshal was killed. He
was captured and taken to the fed
eral Jail in Fort Smith. The United
States district court there at that
time had jurisdiction over the Indian
country, and this made the local tri-
bunal the greatest criminal court in
the world. Confined in Jail with
Starr at that time was Cherokee Bill,
another Indian Territory outlaw. He
too, was charged with murder. With
in a short time both men were on
victed and sentenced to hang.
AS the day for Cherokee Bills ex-
ecution drew near he had a revolver
struggled into jail. One night, as the
guards came around to lock the pris-
oners in their cells, Cherokee Bill
made a dash for liberty. The guards
refused to surrender the keys to him
and he shot Larry Heating, a guard.
to death. For hours he defled the
officers to disarm him. Starr an
nounced he would disarm him if re
leased from his cell. This being
done, Starr walked to Cherokee Bits
cell, where the murderer had taken
refuge. and, making a threat. he de
manded Cherokee Bits revolver. The
latter surrendered it. Shortly after
Starts sentence was committed to
life Imprisonment. Later he was par
doned by the president.
As soon as he was at liberty he re

they made a series of daring raids on
banks at ~Bentonville. Ark: Aldrich,
Mo-: Caney, Kan: Nowata and Cho-
teau, Okla, in addition to holding up
trains. Starr was betrayed after the
Caney robbery and was caught in
Colorado.
He was brought back to Arkansas
and was tried and convicted for the
B~entonville robbery. He served thir-
teen years for this crime, and was
released in 1906. In 1909 Starr was
convicted of robbing a bank at Amity,
Colo. He was later released on pa
role through the efforts OF his wife,
formerly Dollie Griffin. a Tulsa
school teacher, who was granted a
divorce from him the day of the
Stroud robberies. At present he is
wanted in Colorado for violating his
parole by fleeing from the state.
One of the stories which reveals
the dashing bravado of the bandit is
that of his romance and marriage.
In 1902 near Pryor Creek, Okla,
Starr and his gang of outlaws held
up a Missouri, Kansas q Texas train.
Among the passengers was 4 pretty
young woman, who. crazed with fear,
jumped from the train and fed in the
darkness. Later Starr and his crowd
overlook her. Starr placed her on
his horse and carried her to "a nearby
railway station, so that she might
continue her journey. That woman
was Dollie Griffin. whom he later
married.

from DIR. George A. Reisner. In charge
of explorations for the museum In
Egypt.
They are part of a group of eight un-
earthed in a pit previously examined
by a European archaeologist and sup
posed to have been exhausted. Four
will be placed In the museum at Cairo.
DR.. Reisner writes:
The Importance of these portraits
from the artistic. the historical and the
merely human point of view makes
the groups a find almost equal to the
group of statues found i'm the Myceri-
nus temples.
"The men and women whose faces
they show us had spoken with Cheops
and Chephren and had seen the first
and second pyramids in building"
DIR. Reisner thinks that some of these
portraits support the theory that Egyp-
