It has leaked1 out on apparently fe'wd anuthorlty that "Dyn t'Ulto L'icIc," tho fnmotis outlaw, wh.i prior to tbo Ingclls fight be ween tU Doolln grng and doputy United S. marshals. made his homo In Pawno- atrl Creek ccuntrlos Is alive vn rosilc; lu Oil Mexico. A prisoner at tho Federal Jail Is said to have been in close touch ,wlth "Dynamite Dick" up until scv era! months ago and ho as aerts that tho reports that were circulated at various times that the outlaw was dead wero false. As Is known to all the old settler. of Oklahoma "Dynamito Dick" wa9 one of tbo bravest and shrewdest mom- bors of tho Doolln Rang. This organl zatlon of desperadoes was composol of Dill Doolln, Dill Dalton, Tulsa Kack, "Hitter Creek," "Arkansas 'Tom," "Red Duck" and several others. Tho majority of tho gang was kill 'Cd by pretended friends. According to report "Dynamite Dick," who has probably robbed as many banks, trains, stores and stolen as many horses and cattle as any other outlaw that o'or rode on tho soil of Oklahoma, Is alive, married and doing nicely In tho hills of Old .Mexico. It has been reportod upon divers occasions that he bad been kIM .cd, )n Woods, county. Besides being nlarrled "Dynamite Dick" has a llttlo girl 3 years old, It Is Isold, and ho told n friend of his that ho Intended to train nnd educate thut girl In tho proper way of living. Ho also told a man In Oklahoma years ago that ho wanted to get out of the scouting business, having been In that disgraceful lino of work for fifteen .years. 1 The nlirht nrecoJlnir tlm hip ntrhi at Ingiills when Hill Dalton rodo Into that llttlo vlllago and notified tho rest of tho outlaws that deputy mar shals wore surrounding the place nnd advise! them to get out, a council was held betweon tho Doolln gang to consldor their chancoa for escaping It Is asserted upon reliable authority that "Dynamito Dick" said at thnt mooting that if ho over got tbo oppor tunity to throw off tho burden of out lawry and becomo a docqnt citizon ho would do It. Each of tho desperadoes had sweet hearts In northwostorn Oklahoma and Hill Doolln married In I'ayno county boforo ho was killed. A few years ago two young women from tbo Creok country suddenly disappeared. Neither of thorn has been heard from and It l.? more than probabio that ono of tbeso girls Is "Dynamito Dick's" wife today. Does n full faro railroad ticket ro raaln good till traveled out?
