BELLE STARR'S RECORD.
The Daughter of an Ohio Emigrant and the Avenger of a Brother's
Murder.
FORT SMITH, Ark., Feb. 10 - According to a lawyer
of this city who knew Belle Starr from her infancy and
defended her in each of her trials here, her father, John
Shirley, removed to Carthage, Mo., from Ohio, twenty years
before the war and kept a hotel known as the Carthage House,
where Myra Shirley was born.
Her early days were spent at home and nothing occurred
to break the family circle until her eldest brother, Allison
Shirley, was killed towards the end of the war by Kansas
Jayhawkers. The day after teh murder Myra was in
the saddle in hot pursuit of her brother's murderers. The
prevalence of border warfare and the great number of struggling
troops then in Southwestern Missouri gave the young daredevil
ample opportunity to show her prowess, and the wayward girl
never again went home to stay, but linked her fortunes with the
famous band of guerillas head by Quantrell.
After Quantrell's gang disbanded Myra
fell in with the James and Younger brothers, and
married with Cole Younger. After daughter is the
famous beauty and desperado Pearl Younger.
While on a visit to her aged father in Texas she
met and married a desperado named Reed. This son
was one of the first to reach her dead body last Monday.
Reed was shot and killed by United States officers at
Paris, Texas, and in 1869, and it was just before his death that
the woman, then known as Belle Reed, stole $32,000 from
Walt Grayson, a Cherokee Indian, forcing him to deliver
the money at the muzzle of a six-shooter. She claimed to
be an Indian, and was tried in an Indian court. To find
her guilty would have been like assaulting the entire
neighborhood, and the court acquitted her.
As soon as Reed was buried Belle married
a full-blooded Creek Indian, named Sam Star, and
thenceforth she was known as Belle Starr. Their
honeymoon was spent in this city, in the United States Court,
where both were tried and found guilty of horse stealing and
sent to the Detroit jail. Upon her return to the Indian
country she was arrested for larceny and acquitted.
Sam Starr was killed in a brawl about four years
ago, and Belle then married Jim Starr, alias
Bill July, her late husband's brother. |

BELLE STARR'S SON.
On His way to the Ohio Penitentiary with 24 Other Federal
Prisoners.
A whole car-load of United States
prisoners arrived at Union Dept yesterday morning over the
Frisco, en route to the Ohio State penitentiary at Columbus,
from Fort Smith, Ark. Among the number was Frank Read,
a son of the notorious Belle Starr, the female outlaw,
who was shot and killed a few months ago in Indian Territory.
There were 25 prisoners in all under conviction for various
offences and were well guarded by Col. Jacob Yost, United
States Marshal as Fort Smith and a detail of deputies. The
marshals were all armed with 42-calibre revolvers and had them
ready for use. The car was the last on the train, and when
it entered the deposit a guard stood on each platform while
Col. Yost and several deputies watched the prisoners inside.
They were handcuffed and a number were shackled besides.
Young Read has some Indian blood in him and has the
appearance of a desperate man. He intimated at the depot
that his mother's friends knew her murderer and that they would
see that her death was avenged. The young man spoke with
terrible earnestness. He also said that the man who killed
his mother had a hand in sending him to the penitentiary.
All of the prisoners, Col. Yost explained, were convicted
of crimes committed in Indian Territory. They were being
taken to the Ohio Penitentiary because there was no room in a
nearer institution of that character. He did not look for
any trouble in getting his prisoners to Columbus. The care
was switched on to an east bond train and went out about 8
o'clock, the prisoners having had an abundance of time for their
breakfast at the depot. |

Ohio Soldiers Are Welcome in Montgomery. Buckeye
State Men Are Almost All Here.
Few Remaining Detachments Are
Expected to Arrive Before End of Week - Over 18,000 Men are Now
Quartered at Camp Sheridan - Montgomery People Extend Hearty
Welcome to Ohio Soldiers.
Practically the entire Ohio Division has arrived at
Camp Sheridan and will be the guests of Montgomery for the
winter months. The people of the city are glad to have the
Ohio men here. They stand ready and willing to do all in
their power to make the stay of the boys in khaki from the
Buckeye state pleasant.
MEN Feel At Home.
Since the first detachments of men
arrived at the camp, every effort has been made to have them
feel at home. Many of the Ohio men have never been in the
South before and are now for the first time experiencing
southern hospitality. From the impressions gained during
their stay in the city, many will form their only impressions of
the South and the Southern people.
ARE Among Friends
Realizing this, the people are
exerting themselves in every way to make these men from another
state, and in a strange environment feel that they are among
friends.
The welcome which has been given the various units as
they have arrived is now given to the entire division, and the
people of the city hope and believe that the Ohio men will find
their stay in the South pleasant, if it is in the power of the
local people to make it so.
-------------------
General Treat Absent.
While Major-General Charles G.
Treat, commander of the 37th division, is in Europe studying
trench warfare at close range his division, made up of the
troops from the Buckeye State, are getting their share of hard
work and when he returns to Camp Sheridan he will ___ that the
men have not lost a minutes instruction because of his absence.
Brig. - Gen. W. R. Smith, commander of the
artillery brigade, is camp commander in the absence of
General Treat, and Major Steven G. Fuqua is acting
chief-of-staff in the absence of Lt. - Col. Dana T. Merrill,
who accompanied General Treat when he was called to
Washington to set his orders. Both General Smith
and Major Fuqua are from the regular army and it was
Major Fuqua who mapped out the 14-week course of instruction
for the men of the 37th division.
Other Officers Here>

headquarters who have much work on their shoulders are Major
Wildrick, of the regular army, Adjutant, Lt. -
Col. Barger, division instructor; Lt. -Col. Shetler,

A NEW OHIO COUNTY.
Proposition to Form One From Butler, Preble, Warren and
Montgomery.
Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
MIDDLETOWN, Jan. 23, - Judging from the Franklin Argus,
January 15, we would say they have been caught in the "boom" in
regard to the forming of a new county, the territory to be taken
from Preble, Butler, Montgomery and Warren counties. The
proposition as stated is a fair one. This is the time to
agitate this matter, as Montgomery, Warren and Butler all need
new Court Houses. The petition will soon be circulated and
presented to the Legislature as soon as soon as possible.
Middletown is well located for the county seat. We have
two railroads running through the heart of our town, and also of
the territory mentioned, and there is no doubt that before many
years shall have passed another will be running to the northwest
along Twin Creek to Germantown and Union City, Ind., thence
northwest along the old mackinaw route. Then the thrift
and enterprise possessed by our citizens also are arguments in
our favor, why the capital should be located here.
Mrs. Cassady, an old resident of this township,
died Friday morning at 9 o'clock pneumonia, at the age of
sixty-eight. Mrs. Cassady was a sister of Mr.
James Sinky, who died on Friday, 16th. She remarked to
her brother just before he died that it would not be long before
she would follow him to his long home. |
