Joking was rare, and nearly

1t wasn't quite smooth job as Belle pulled

INTO Dodge for a fling. Blue Duck wanted to
gamble Belle peeled off two thousand dollars and
handed it over to him
twas couple hours before she saw him again.
how you make out ?" she asked him.
They cleaned me-" Blue Duck said
They did? Well I'll teach those thievin' -
-- they can't get off clean with that. Where
were you playn?"
Blue Duck told her the place 1t was an up-
stairs gambling hall over one of the Dodge saloons
A few minutes later Belle stalked up the stairs
Nobody paid any attention to her. Everybody was
used to seeing her kind around Dodge.
She walked over to the faro game. AS the men
looked up she whipped out pistol announcing.
I'm takin' all stakes"
Before the players knew what was up Belle
scooped up every bill the table, about seven
thousand dollars, and backed out waving her six
shooter
you boys may have little change comm. If
you want to get it look me up sometime down in
tn Territory"
Outside Blue Duck was waiting with their
horses. The flabbergasted gamblers watched the
pair ride off without firing shot
couple of years later, in 1890 Sam Starr Jim
Reeds old friend of Territory days. married Belle
up in Nebraska. She tried to settle down a little
bit after that but didn't do very good job of it.
She and Starr picked out claim on the Can
adam River, out in wild section of the Cherokee
Nation. Belle had too many friends among the out
laws to lead very quiet life. All the renegades in
the Territory began using her place for hideout.
1t was rough, wooded country. Her house was
built on bend of the river She called the place
"Youngers Bend" l reckon she got that from
her early acquaintance with the Younger BOYS
Anyway, one of her visitors there was Jesse James
when he was hiding out after train robbery
Things went all right for while Then Sam
and Belle got arrested for horse-stealing and went
to Jail for about year.
1t wasn't long after they got out before the
marshals were on Sans trail again. He had a
running gun-fght with one posse and was wounded
but got over that
little while later he got in a row with fellow
who had shot Sans horse. The other man beat
him to the draw and Belle had another husband to
bury
Once more Belle tried to let the dust settle on
the trails around Younger's Bend, but reckon she
was doomed to go out the way she had lived

some land not far from her. Watson was a mys-
ferrous sort, but Belle and his wife got along all
right
They got pretty chummy with nobody to talk
to but themselves and outlaws out in that wild
country Mrs. Watson had acted like she had
something she wanted to tell so one day she opened
up to Belle.
Mrs Starr, I know can trust you," she said.
There's something I'd like to tell you. Maybe
shouldn't but know lot of men come up here to
escape the law"
What is it,"
It's about my husband. We came out here
because he killed man down in Florida"
We'll, Belle smiled, you know most every
bodys Twin out here-for their health"
But knowing Watson had killed man still
didn't make Belle like him any better.
They got into an argument one day because
Watson talked one of Bellies tenants into moving
off her land, SO he could make deal to farm it.
During the row Belle let it slip that she knew about
the affair in Florida. She made lot of mistakes
during her life, but that was the biggest one.
Watson shut up and walked away scowling
A few days later Belle was riding back to her
home from trip to town. AS she rode by field
near Watsons place charge Of buckshot struck
her in the back. 1t knocked her off her horse The
slayer up and fired another shot into her body
Belle Starr dead.
Watson was arrested for the killing but they
didn't have enough evidence to convict him. He
was turned loose, but was killed short time later

mobile on him IN the race for Bellies attentions
She was playing for high stakes so she didn't
miss trick. She honeyed him lot and before he
knew II, she was leading him right into the corral
One day she dropped into the bank to see him.
He was alone
You'll have to pardon me, dear, for coming
during your office hours" she purred, "but just
had to see YOU"
happy to see you. Come in and sit down"
He opened the door to let her behind the
counter
you look tired, dear I'm so afraid you're
working too hard and worrying too much about all
that old money you have piled up in here"
She sided up close to him.
oh he laughed that doesn't worry me-"
"Well lover, you'd better start"
Her voice suddenly changed tone. Her words
sharp as a pistols click as out of the folds
of her dress her right hand came up holding a
sx-shooter
why, darling-why-wha kind of joke is
this?" the banker suffered.
Its no joke brother Get tn money outa that
safe an get it quick
The dumfounded banker backed away from
the big-barreled gun, but Belle didn't lower her
aim.
"In this sack-al of it," she snapped
The banker cleaned out the safe of some thirty
thousand dollars in paper money and stuffed it
into the sack
"Now, dear, don't forget to take better care of
yourself" Belle smiled again as she backed out
the door. "You won't have that old money to
worry about now
She had her horse sadded and waiting Before
her admirer could catch his breath Belle was we'll
on her way toward the Territory, splitting the wind
on the fastest horse in Texas.

He belonged to one of the toughest gangs of killers
that ever shot man in the back When Belle threw
in with him she was in about as deep with the out
laws as person could get.
When Blue Duck was arrested for killing man
Belle came to his rescue. She had plenty of money
then she hire the best attorneys she could get

wings as soon as they got about hundred miles
north of Dallas. She rode off alone one morning
The jaier trudged home out of love and out of luck

wealthy Texas cowman fell for her smiling ways
He put up the money to get her released and it cost

Like I've told you, Belle had been started
out in life to be lady. When she wanted to she
could turn on a lot of fine airs and fool most any
body.
That's what she did when she landed in this
town. She started going to churcn, put curb on
