A pair of 'this ibanjd were killed by officers and aattlers, and the leader, Dan O'Connid'I, was captured, tried at Waohi’.a, sentenced 1o a lon« term in •the ipeni'.'Domddary, wheire he is now delv- eittR la 'the coal mlnew for the govern ment A unique member of this band, who has lately been sent t*> prteon, was BlU Wade. Bill was a most unromantlc out law, and after his 'pals were iaiid toy he took to steallinUr -hoKS alon$r *the (border of the rtoritory and Kansas. Wade's personal appearance wa» on -the swine order, ami the moot ultra-roman tile des*- tperado living, a famaJe would find it a very timed 'task to fofll 4n love with. Wm. A really romantic and picturesque figure was that of Geoi^e Stevens. He was an odueUitad Southerner on the Cheeterfieldlan order, who would apolo gize to you while cutting your throat or -turning your puree Inside out. Not strange to eoy, he had a beautiful wife, who preferred to fo’Jow this man’s ex citing and disgraceful career to wed ding some respectable man. For a year or more Chpt. Stevens, assisted by two burlyneg rocs named July Monday and Buriy July, terrorized the territory. They stole houses, cattle, robbed stages and* tmlns tind waylaid lone travelers. Suddenly, without any apparent cause, these depredations ceased, and peace and quiet reigned. This calm was un- accountaDl* to the officers and the pub lic, until ono day July Monday waa found murdered at Rucell, and his In dian mistress Informed the officers that his death lay at the door of Burly July, and alao that George Stevens nnd his pretty \>lfo had both been murdered by these fiends and the bodies cast into ti snake den in the mountains. Thla den was located and visited by a posse, and sure enough the bones of the dead couplo were found as the squaw had said. The negroes had first killed their captain, then lavished his wife and afterward consigned both to a grave among the rattlesnakes. Burly Jtr?y had murdered Monday to prevent him from disclosing the story. The Mack desperado was captured by Bill Carr after a, hard fight, and explained his crimes on tho gallows at Little Rock, Ark. Then Belie Starr flitted ateross the prairie Bthge. During the war she was a rebel spy; aftomwird she married a Union officer. He died and Belle drift ed West, •becaimo tho mistress of Cole Younger, and toy -him /Tad one child, a beautiful girl named Pearl Younger. As Is well known, Cole Younger was Jesse James’ righc-nand man, nnd is now a prisoner in tlhe Minnesota penA' tentiary a ti 'Stillwater. Belle became a faro bank dealer on ths*bonder. She flitted from lover to lover and from place (to place, finally winding u as mistress to an Indian named Jim Starr, a noted desperado. Desperate and lawless, ehe» became a terror and killed many men in bar room fights. It was also declared that she was 'tiho leader ct a notorious bund of express robbers then in operation, She was ambuscaded and killed «ev oral years ago whfte riding to her home in Afro mountains,* fl-fter escorting her husband tor a border gambling town. Her husband continued his lawless oar reer until he, <too, was shat to death. "Tom King” Is a woman who ihaa caused the officers dots of trouble. ‘Tom" Is a -woman and Is now’ at lib erty. She Rteafs horset*. ehoato deputy marshals Tor (her appretoensian and ar rest. It fs only a Short time since she escaped from the Ei Reno (Ok.) jail 1n broad daylight, the Jailer o’oping with her. The nrjst night out she r<ybtoed him of hta money, w^tteh, horse -and outfit and left him bound hand ami foot cn the praiziew where ho waa found next day. Her -mania Is to steal homes, al though she 43 also declared «to be a member of the present Cook gang of express rubbers. She dressca like a dashing eowtooy one day, a squaw tho next, and has even been known to ped dle tracts »mon« the Indians, -acting a« tt toI.stiionary. Her dteguiees arc end- Rs*. and she is a terror -to tbe officers. The I>altons had a long run. Emmett. Botj and Grafton belonged to the origi nal bond, the totter two of which were killed at Coffeyvllle. Kan., and the for mer Is new in the penitentiary. They bad made a raid on the banks of the town, and the light which ensued the entire crowd were wiped out and captured. Then followed four months of peace. Bill Dalton weus a respectable farmer, but soon fell from grace, and in com pany wKh BUI Doolan and other despera does, he took hi* lately deceased broth ers’ place In the outlaw ranks. HU kill ing of a deputy marshal * few months ago Is familUr In history to all. Although there are now no more of tho Daltons on the .warpath, there are members ol their bands still In existence. The Cooks, the present outfit making trouble in the country, are the remnants of all the bands that have gone before. Those wfio escaped death from the first DaJton gang joined Bill Dalton's second outfit, and after his death these men en listed with the Cooks. In the latter band are over thirty desperadoes, tire toughest of all the bands tliat' have gone before. The Daltons would spare life In trouble. The Cooks shot on sight and care noth ing for the life of a man, woman, or even a little child. They are the terror of the entire territory; guads in. the express care do not care to try their nerve with these men. They have been hunted like wild animals, and now they are more savago than the tiger. Women of all nations, as tough as they are themselves; are known consorts of these men and are to be found around small towns frequently by these despera does. *lhe worst among them all Is Jim Cook, Bill Doolan, "Slaughter” Kid, the Starrs and Dr. Mchowry. It will take a small army to kill or capture them.—Ok lahoma .Star. THE CHAFING DISH 2,000 YEARS OLD Women who first prized their chafing dishes for their convenience are now feeling an added pleasure fn using £ utensil that has a history of at least 2,000 years. They refer to what Seneca said of them and quote Soycr's descrip tion of those used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The dish Ifl also referred to by Cicero and Is supposed to be the “authepsa,” a kind of saucepan of Corin thian brass of considerable value and mide with such' art that Its contents cooked instantly and with little fire. Thla simple and Ingenious vessel possessed a double bottom, the uppermost one hold, ing tho light delicacies destined for the desert and the fire was underneath. An other‘author says: "Not only did the chafing dish adorn tables at royal ban quets and contribute to the gastronomic enjoyments of the rich, but it was In high favor then, as now, among the rep resentatives of the histrionic art. Pliny relates that the tragic actor, Aesopus, had a dish worth 1,000 sestercll." Tho chafing dish waa known In Amtrica aa early aa 1720, at about which time it la recorded that a wealthy father, wishing to give hls daughter "a truly elegant wedding outfit," ordered for her from England, among other things, "six small brass chafing dishes, 4 shillings apiece.” OH.
