Early Days in Springfield
iContinued From Last Week).
Then the entire party proceeded to the Tom French home on a high bank of the Grand river In an old slog house that formerly housed some of the illustrous officers of "Old Fort Gibson, to see Belle "Starr. reputed world" famous female outlaw: of ;the Cherokees. She appeared In the ! yard In the garb of a cowwoman, but outwardly bore no semblance to the bad woinan she hadl been pictured to be. She was heavily armed, but ! An she wns being hounded by sleuths of the Fort i Sinlth, court, this was not , strange. " She had never known Cole Younger, much less ever har- ing had any Intimate relation with him in any of his exploits in the Cherokee country's as had been charged, Mr. Blane went forward and shook hands with the trio, composed of Tom Start." with whom the Chereokees had made a treaty of am- nesty wherein 'he . surrendered and gave up; out lawry. Pearl, Starr and her mother. Belle Starr. Jim French."Who afterwards became notorious and was killed. wus also there, but was only a youngster.
By Now "Sugay." the Chaplain. George Butler. Gus Ivey and "Habhit" were bringing up-the rear on fout. As they were still groggy and nolsy . Mr. Blaine and the other members of the party were rushed Into an army ambulance and hurrled back to the fort. Mir. Blaine never paid another visit to his daughter. Years afterwards he way nom- I Inated for president but was deleated by thirteen hundred votes in a close shave in New York state. What went with Fort Gibson is better told in the story of the allotment of the Cherokee country nnd in the palatinl summer homes of the rich Muskogee people Into Whose possession all the costly army residences, including tolonel Cop- pinger's, fell when the Cherokee government blew up and the white man took possession.
