Posse Overtakes Three of the Pineville Bandits. | One of the Bandits Proves to Have Been a, Woman in Disguise. Kansas City Times. Joplin, Mo., August 21.—After a chaee of four days three of the four bandits—one of them a woman— |who committed the bold day light bank robbery at Pineville, MeDon ald county, bave been captured They admit their guilt. The raid jwas made Tuesday forenoon and the robbers secured between $600 and $1,000 in cash. Since then nu- merous posses have been constantly on the trail. The hero of the capture is Joe D. Yeargeain, formerly a deputy Unit- ed States marshal, but now a bard ware merchant at Southwes: City, Mo, snd he has covered himself with glory. The first of the robbers captured wasa man named Tenny- sop, who was taken in the hills of the Indian Territory. almost direct ly west of Pineville, his capture being effected Thursday. The two other arrests were made today in Wier City, Kan , one of the prisoners being @ woman. The robbers had scarcely left Pineville after the robbery befcra a large posse was organized, and fel lowed hot on the trail, which led west, the objective point of the gang evidently beiog the Indian Territo ry. The posse overtook the robbers at Noel, Tuesday afternoon, where a battle royal took place, one of the robbers being wounded and the eachier’s stolea horse being recap tured. they saw they were getting the worst of the fight, and fled by differ- ent routes toward the west. They were followed by mavy offi cers, but the party that got onto the true trail and followed it unceasing- ly until success crowned their eff-r was composed of ex-Marshal Joe Yeargeain, G W. Smith, postmaster at Southwest City, and J. W. Shields, cashier of the Pineville bank. This party followed the trail until a map was found of the route that the robbers had made out to guide their escape. With it was found $12150 in cash and some three or four dollars in coppers ‘which bad been abaudoned by the! robbers The map by which they had plan geain’s possession, it was an easy matter for him to follow it and cm plete the capture The plot showed that Wier City, Kan, was the ob Year- geain and his party went direct to Wier City.

Mr. Yeargesin went out and pur- chased a new pair of shoes for the woman, she being very poorly clad, not having either shoes or hat. ‘About 8 o'clock the party went down to supper, after which thay returned ta their room to await the time for the 12:15 train, which they took for Southwest City. From | there Mr. Yeargeain will take them to Pineville on Monday. While here the people were inter viewed by a Times reporter as they eat side by side, manacled together. The man :efused to talk, but his eis- ter seemed in the best of spirits and talked freely. She admitted that she and her brother had taken part in the robbery of the bank and said the remaining robber had been bad- ly wounded in the battle at Noei. She refused to reveal to the reporter the whereabouts of this member of the gang, but she informed Mr. Yeargeain and he will use the infor- mation to effect bis capture. Cora Hubbard is a young woman of about 28 years of age. Her fea- tures are of a decidedly masculine cast. She was sioverly dressed in a faded calico wrapper, which appar- ently constituted her entire ward- robe. She is of medium stature, evidently of lowly origin. During the robbery and the subsequent fight Mies Hubbard was dressed in men’s attire and took as lively a part in the ebooting as did the men, be- ing apparently utterly devoid of fear. Her brother, Bill Hubbard, is 2 young man a year or so older than his sister. He ia tall and extremely slim in stature. His face is covered with a week's growth of beard and he also was poorly dressed, wearing | only an cld colored sbirt anda pair of trousers. He wes moody and j silent end r-fosed to answer any questions Mr. Yeargeain eave that Hubbard is the man who planned | the robbery and who was the leader jin the whole affair. That tho | couple will go to the penitentiary for a long term seems to be a fore {gen conelpsion.
