WV tvl
chargo of counter
feiting a few days
ago. I'rlor to her
nrrcRt she arrived
I V 'SZ
r Its'
In Arkansas City
ft oin southeastern Kansas, procured a
livery rig anil went to Mr. Hughes,
liuino. She hud been there lint a few
days, liowever, when an olllcer followed
her, placed her under arrest and took
her hack to Kansas. From the meager
facta learned It seems she had formerly
been engngod In teaching school In
southwest Missouri, and while so en
gaged formed the ae(iialntance of an
outlaw from the Indian territory named
Huffman. As Dosdomona became en
rnptuied with Othello for the deeds of
daring he related, this little Missouri
school teacher became fascinated by the
bold outlaw of tho Indian country and
she forsook school, friends and all for
him.
Thero was nnothcr gay and dashing
robber In the gang who looked upon
Mary's charms In a lovellko way, re
gardless of Huffman's pilar claims
thereto. Mary became smitten with tho
new robber lover and forgetting Huff
man, ran off with the new love. Such
actions upon tho part of Mary and her
new outlaw lover aroused tho lie of
Huffman, and, arming himself with a
whole arsenal, he swore dire engeauce
upon lover No. 2, and started upon his
trail
Week before last the two rivals met
at Canoy. Kan., and when the smoke
cleared away both men were lying
bleeding upon the lloor, with empty six
shooters beside them. They were placed
under arrest and physicians summoned
to attend them. An examination re
vealed that they were both pretty thor
oughly "shot up." but their wounds not
necessarily fatal. My telling each that
tho other confessed a confession was
drawn out of each, In which the fact
was disclosed that they were members
of a counterfeiting hand, and that Mary
Smith, the school teacher, was the per
son relied upon to gel the money into
circulation. In the meantime Mary had
decamped, but odlcers were upon her
trail and located her In Noble county.
Tim arrest of this Miss Smith revives
Interest in nnother notorious woman
lawbreaker known as .lessle K. Tlndley,
who was Indicted by the federal grand
Jury of Oklahoma county on Nov. 1!C
last, and Is now conllned In the United
States jail awaiting her trial, which
will take place at the next term of the
United States court. Tho Indictment
against her Ib linked on the fact that sho
took weapons into the county Jail of
Oklahoma county In June last to assist
tho Christian outlaws In making their
escape, which they accomplished on
June 30, ISO.', and killed Chief of Police
Jones. Thero Is a great contrast be
tween Miss Smith and Miss Finilley; the
former Is as yet an embryo In crime,
while the Flndloy girl, although but 17
years of age, possesses a llnlshed crlrii
Innl education and Is hardened to the
wild, uncertain life of the frontier out
law. Jesslo came to Oklahoma when the
rountry wns thrown open to settlement
seven years ago from Ozark, Mo., where
she wns born nnd reared. Her father,
who was a carpenter, died when Jesslo
was II years of age, leaving a wife and
four children. lielng a member of sev
eral secret orders, Mrs. Flndley re
ceived several substantial death bene
fits and was enabled to properly suf
port and educate her family. He fore
Jessie was 9 years old a brother and
JESSIR FINDLHY.
Bister died. Tho remaining brother
went to .Montana to embark In the stock
business nnd Jessie and her mother
wor left alone to struggle, with tho
world. The llttlo girl was placed In
Rchml nt C years of ago and in ado rapid
advnnces. When Jesslo reached tho age
of 10 her mother married a cattloman
named Woods, and in April, 1S89, the
family moved to Oklahoma and took up
a homestead In l'ottnwntomlo county.
Up to this time and four months nftcr
coming to this county Jessie's llfo wns

ago uneventful. About tho house
Ebo wns bright, apt nnd decorous and
thought of llttlo else save "going to
meeting," doing home work and read
ing novels.
Hut one day Hob Christian rnlled at
Jostle's homo, met tho llttlo brunette,
and It was a case of lovo nt first slsht.
at least as far as she was concerned.
Dob and two others of his gang had
Hopped there for something to eat, and
Bob, while waiting for the meal, made
love to tho cook. Ho wns a very pre
sentable young desperado. The meal
over P" ninnnind and rode awav. but
v
CJ
i
not lrforc ! h i ' i . 'o a,i appointment
to im et hi fair hone -s ut a not far dis
tant day. The courtship extended over
i period of only two weeks, and one
morning Jessie was missing. She had
eloped with her Robin Hood.
She lemnlned with him for Hcveral
months, tiding with tho sang on sever
al forages, but usually Maying at tho
cabin and acting as housekeeper and
tank. Hob taught her o rhrot and to
tide, and she soon became proficient In
the use of the revolver and rifle nnd not
nfiald to mount tho wildest broncho.
She ventured where oven the bravest
of the gang were afraid to go, and It Is
united that at one time she plunged in
to the North Cnnadlan with her pony
when It was running bank full nnd not
one of the boys daied follov until they
were goadcil to It by her tevlllngs and
epithets.
About this time Hob mil Hill Chris
tian were arresteil for killing Deputy
Slurlfl Turner, of I'oltawatomlo coun
ty, who was attempting to arrest them
tor cattle steal lug. This was the llrst
murdei that could he brought homo to
them, and the piosecutlon was thorough
and prompt. They were convicted of
tho murder and sentenced to long
terms In the penitentiary, and were
brought to Oklahoma to await the ac
tion to prison. Jesslo was u constant
nttciMlant at the trial ami at tho Pot
tawatomie Jail, bringing her lover nlco
thing to drink, and when they were
taken to San Franclnco for safe-keeping,
pending their transportation to the
PMiltentlary, she followed them and
was a dally visitor ut tho Jail.
Jessie succeeded In smuggling three
revolvers to them, with thirty rounds of
ammunition. The attempttoescapewas
to be made on Sunday, June I!0, and on
Frlr.ny, nftcr sho had performed her
mission, Jessie went lo their old homo,
near Violet Springs, Okl.i., to await her
lovei's coming. Sunday came and tho
attempt was made. Tho two Chris
tians and James Ca.ioy, another mur
derer conllned in the Jail, overpowered
the Jailer and made their way Into the
street.
A Sabbath stillness was over the city,
It In inj, about f. o'rloek in 'ho evening,
and very few citizens nbrovl. The des
peiate men. each with a cocked revolv

to halt. They answered with u shot,
which killed the chief Instnntly. Their
volley was answered by shots from Of

Casey and badly wounded Hill Chris

escape with the aid of con."ederntes.who
met them on the edge of the town with
fresh horses and were noon beyond pur
suit. Jessie was Instantly suspected of hav

and while strenuous efforts were made
to recaptiue the Christians, a posse of
men were sent out to Hob Christian's
cabin to effect the capture of Jessie, be
lieving sho would give the whole snap

friends of tho desperadoes received a
tip of tho Intentions of the authorities
In some manner, and at once spirited
tho girl away, passing her from mem

To facilitate her escape Jessie was
dressed In a ciwboy cos' time slouch

all the paraphernalia of tho typical

they compelled her to ride from point

was the longest in
the history of the

SiLi-i --U" excUlnR. It began
" J??'TZ. eleven months be-7-
fore tho election
" with the nomina
tion of (Jen. W. II.
Harrison at Harrisbiirg In December,
ISM, a nomination effected by the most
extraordinary or sharp political con
trivances, Ingenious and complicated
beyond anything ever since attempted
In a national convention; that was In
tended to defeat and did defeat Mr.
Clay, whose nomination, except for this
contrivance, was almost certain to have
been made.
The operation of the contrivance ic
ferred to was as follows: Kach of tho
delegations in the convention selected
a committee of three of Its own mem
bers, to which committee the members
of the delegation delivered their sev
eral "views and opinions" n to the
nominations for president and vice
president most deslrnble lo be made.
The committees, thus selected nnd In
structed, met together In one body, and
after comparing tho "views and
opinions'" of the delegations, proceed
ed to formulate their own. These wero
reported back to the delegations. The
delegations, enlightened In this way.
then proceeded separately to ballot for
candidates. The results of these
ballotlngs wero laid before the com
mittees ngnln. aggregated Into one
body, who, after comparing nnd do
HARRISON AND
liberating upon them, formulnted
further views and opinions for the lu
re rmatlon of the delegations.
The delegations assembled for a third
time, nnd. further informed, again con
sidered and balloted, nnd a fa In sent
their ballots to the aggregated com
mitters, who again compared, consid
ered nnd formulated. This general
process was repeated until a majority
of the votes was found to have been
east for a particular candidate. Upon
discovery of a majority ihe fact was
communicated to the delegations in
general convention assmbli' 1 "for their
consideration," the majority of the
delegates ftom each state casting the
voto or the titate.
It was by means nf the foiegolng
singularly elaborate and remarkable
system of procedure that Mr. Clay was j
defeated and (Jen. Harrison nominated
by n majority or A'Z over the united
votes or (ien. Scott and Mr. Clay, Scott
lecelving 10 votes, Mr. Clay 1)0, and
(!n. Harrison IIS.
The campaign that succeeded was one
of extraordinary excitement and In
cident. According to Mr. Kenton It was
conducted on tho Hurrlsin s!il by tho
banks nnd their agents, who "u.ieil
money in fabulous amounts, and in
wnys not dreamed of."
In an address to the country Amos
Kendall declined that "contempt of the
people lay at the bottom of the wholo
llnrrNon scheme electioneering." "Vc
have seen vast assemblages collected
VAN HUREN
together," he said, "at nreat labor and
cost, not to respond to any principles,
or to listen to any argument, but drown
th voice of leaeon In the shouts of
tevifry and to lead captive tho feelings
of the people In a senseless excitement,
nrouM'd by the hauling of log cabins,
canoes, nnd elder barrels through the
streets; the display of banners with
unmeaning mottoes; the singing of
doggerel rhymes, and the exhibition of
vulgar pictures, riot and drunkenness,
Joined with the mummery and mock

ing." Above everything clp, however
according to tho same .minority, was
tho "use of money without stint, tho
nbuso of ofllclnl station, and privilege
without restraint, and the violation of
law without reserve;" aPogethor form
ing "a flood of demoralization," In
"some of the states resting In stagnant
pools, contaminating the atmosphero of
liberty, and threatening death to every
thing virtuous, noble, and free" even
to the republic Itself,
This was putting the case very
strongly, but no doubt Mr. Kendall de
voutly believed all he alleged.
Tho Harrison men otherwise the
whlgs-were not In the least moved by
the complaints nnd charges of tho
democrats, otherwise the "locofocos,"
but continued to hold their big meet
ings, to exhibit their vulgar pictures,
to sing their doggerel rhyme.'', tolrlnk
their hard cider, and to drng their
canoes and log cabins on wheels
through the streets nnd along the coun
try roads. They "got back" at the lo
cofocos with charges quite as serious
as those against which they were called
upon to defend. They declnred that
Mr. Van Huron whose father had kept
a country tavern was an ailstocrat;
a monarchist, In fact; who lived In
royal style In Wlilto Houo. who nto
his soup out of spoons of gold nnd his
pie with knives of silver: who honor
ed the rich and despised the poor; who
demanded a standing army of ifOfi.'JOO
men under his own control, for what
sinister purpose of enslavement of the
people is easily Inferred. He had wasted
public revenues, had Increased the pub
lic expenditures, and had added ?:!),
000,000 to the public debt. Ho was
hostile to the churches in all their
sects, and sought the destruction of tho
ministers of religion. He was tho
enemy of free labor, who aimed to
bring the wages of American workmen
to tho Kuroponn level, and to destroy
tho profits of American farmers.
Among the minor ehnrgs were two;
That be had established n-w mints In
which It cost -10 per cent, of the value
of gold eagles to coin them, nnd that
turned out ten-cent pieces nt a cost of
thirty cents each! And a great deal
PROSPERITY.
more of the same kind, ending with a
declaration that one term was enough
for any man.
In fact, however, the real Issues or tho
campaign related to currency and
banking and the tariff. As to the lat
ter, the Harrison (or whig) doctrine
was not so high as later tariffs. Harri
son's position on that subject wns au
tliorltntludy stated in these words: "He
Is in favor or such Judicious tariff regu
lations as shall provldo for the actual
wants or tho government and protect
the national Industry, without afford
ing the means of extravagance, or a
surplus beyond what may be necessary
to discharge Its current and existing
obligations," holding it "to be the duty
of the government to keep Its expenses
within Its ordinary revenues." it was,
however, the opinion of (Jen. Harrison
I .urn in miimji iuih inui even upon mis
moderate view of tariff legislation a
sufllclent protection might be hnd to
give to the farmers profitable prices
for their products, and to the aitlsans
and laborers of tho country constant
employment, fair wages, and prompt
pay In short, "?2 a diy and roast
beef."
Among tho whig pictures described
by Amos Kendall as "vulgar," we re
produce two of tho most characteristic,
entitled respectively "Harrison and
Prosperity," "Van Huron nnd Ruin."
The method or these pictures is familiar
enough now, but they were a great deal
or a novelty then, and rendered power-

In June, 1S!)2. and accepted his first
professional engagement with the
Wui-hington Club, taking part In nine

Ho signed with tho Pittsburg Club, of

pitch r's position for the Chicago Club
during the two years ho wis on Its pay
loll, but what little he did do was satis
faciory enough to keep him there. Af
ter joining the Krooklyns ho did good
work, but did not olllclate In enough
games to get a record in the olllclM av

It Is about time that Phclin. Jr., let
up on William II. Clarke, of the New
Yorks, whom he has been abusing at
every opportunity. Why docs the Chi
cago end keep nagging at Dad about
that row of last season? Does he sup
pose that Clarke Is called "Dad" be
cause he Is not worthy of being classed
with other players who aio called Wil
lie and George, and Danny .rid Dibby?
It Is ten to one that the Chicago man
has never scon Clarke except on the
field. It Is true that Dad, ns we are
wont to call the preat pitcher, Is not
handsome, but ho is popular; in fact,
more popular than any player on the
New York team with the fans in this
city. Of com so Dad picked a fight with
old Flegel for no cause whatever!
There are two sides to eery story, and
It Is more than probable that the little
scrap an account of which seems to
appear In the Chicago columns fre
quentlywas brought about by the pen
pl who are continually howling about
"Dad" Clarke's assault on "an old
limn." Clarke never profi'Sid to have
a very extensive vocabulary, but in this
respect he Is not below his fellow-players
generally. There Is no player In the
league who Is bett'-r natured than Dad
Clarke, and this sentiment can bo ver
rlfled by getting the opinions or most
of the league players. Tho trouble lies
here: some people, Includlnt; noine or
th-1 Chicago players, sized up Dad as be
ing "dead thick." When they discover
ed that they were not up against a post
they abused Dad to such an extent that
the Osewego boy probably made some
or tho alleged gentlemen reel somewhat
cheap. Now, Phelon. Jr.. -nho a tum
ble, nnd let up on Dad Clarke, ir he
deserves criticism because of poor
work In the box, or If he stoops to dirty
ball playing, then let loo.io with all
your might. Until then bo f ilr and do

league's most brilliant pitchers because
