'''KATE AND HER SISTER''' "Perhaps I might say here that the press accounts of the startling happenings of this sensational time were often incorrect where [[Kate Kelly|Kate Kelly]] was concerned. That happened this wise. The police were accustomed to regard every woman on horseback whom they encountered in those stirring days in circumstances suggesting that she was rendering assistance to the outlaws as Kate Kelly. They were frightened of Kate Kelly, as a matter of fact. Some of them were more afraid of her than of her brothers. There may have been reasons for this, because they knew that Kate never forgot nor forgave the insults which she alleged Fitzpatrick had offered her on that fateful April afternoon. And they knew Kate went heeled. Really, however, [[Margaret Skillion|Maggie Kelly]], afterwards Mrs Lloyd, who was the best horsewoman in the whole family, was often mistaken for Kate. As Jim Kelly has told me time after time, Maggie was the one to whom they were chiefly indebted for sustained and unselfish assistance, rendered in circumstances often of desperate hardship, which were the means of subsistence for them in those times of mortal peril. Without the assistance of these two courageous girls the outlaws could not have remained at large for any length of time.
