this government is based the Ideas
and the ideals of civil liberty and
liberty religious.Var. . " saM the
speaker , "is necessary at times to
perpetuate the nation. The war In
which wo fought for four long years ,
was of this sort. The war of ISul ,
In which our comrades and our broth
ers bled and died , was n righteous
cause. It was a war in the cause of f ] j
freedom. It was a war that was i
fought between men of the same race
men of the same surroundings in
all but one regard men who wore
bound together as brothers in every
way but that single difference a dif
ference which at one tlmo made the
future of this nation seem grave and
doubtful ; a difference which threat
ened for months and years to sever
the ties by which wore bound the
north and the south ; a difference so
severe , so intense , so distinct and so-
definite that it meant the breaking of
this country if allowed to remain , and
the making of U , at the cost of
thousands and tens of thousands of
human lives noble lives , at that if
eliminated frpm the world.
"Wo wont o arms. because of that
difference. We struggled against our
neighbors with lead and powder. Wo
lulled thorn * and they killed us in a
bloody conrtlct. Hut after all , wo
won.
"That war was waged and won in
orelor that wo might enjoy the blessIngs -
Ings of liberty civic and religious lib

WHERE THE NOTORIOUS JAMES
BROTHERS LIVED.
AQED MOTHER IS STILL THERE
Place Where the Outlaws Were Reared
to Manhood and Outlawry Aged
Woman Is a Character Tells Some
of Her Experiences Grave of Jesse.
It was nothing more nor IOHH than
morbid curiosity that Induced the
writer lo Join a party from lOxcelslor
Springs , Mo. , the other day In a visit
to ' the home of the notorious Jamon
brothers ' , the most feared and most
lawless ' nion In the United States
thirty years ago , whore Mrs. SnmuolH ,
the aged mother of the pair , still re
sides. In fact It must bo admitted
that when It was learned that the
headquarter * of the .lames brothers
as only nine miles from Hxcolslor
prlngH , the writer took an active
' art In forming the party to visit the
" Id homestead. The party consisted
" f II. Randall , a capitalist of Pasa-
' ena , Oal. , .1. S. Nnneinaker , a banker
f Uushnoll. 111. , and 10. O. Titus , a
anker of Iloldrogo , Neb. , besides the
v vrller and a driver.
It wan a beautiful May morning
vhon the party left the hotel to visit
he homo of the notorious outlaws.
The sun was shining brightly and im
urn was doing her best to clothe the
a rth wllh the greenest of carpets ,
yhllo the magnificent trees along the
y wore putting forth their most vor
hint hue. After one gets back from
ho Missouri river Hats , this part of
ho state Is decidedly rolling. The
ln Htuiid up HO straight that the
armors cultivate both sides of them.
There is only one road on earth with
nero hills to climb and more precl
ilees to slide down than the road
nun Kxcolslor Springs to the .lames
'arm ' , and that Is the road between
Anoha and Hutte In Hoyd county.
Mong the way the country Is thick-
y settled. Down there a farm Is not
milt on the magnltlcent proportions
if a Nebraska farm , but sixty or
Ighly acres seems to bo about the
average. What rule was adoptee
when these farms wore fenced Is
lllllrult to understand , because the
ences go zlgag hither and yon
ind meander to their terminations
u anything but straight lines
Many of those fences are built o
rails In which good oak timber "pro
vails.
The houses of the farmers are
i mixture of the old and now Mis
sourl. The old is represented by one
tory long narrow houses , built of logs
containing perhaps three rooms , am
witli an outside chimney at one end
On many farms , however , these old
tlmo houses have been moved bacl
to be used for barns and their place
is now tilled with pretentious , moden
homes , two and three stories high. Al
the houses in the country are pnlntei
white , and the modern ones usualb
have green blinds. There Is an or
chard near every house , and It
surrounded by a neatly trimmoi
hedge , besides many of the nativ
trees have been left standing in al
their pristine glory , all combined mak
Ing a landscape that Is most pleasing
to the eye.
The soil Is a black loam with a ret
clay subsoil. Originally the country
was a vast forest , but much of th
timber has been cleared away , occa
sloual groves being left standing , whil
here and there a Held has been so re
coirtly cleared that the stumps ar <
still In the way of the agriculturalist
nine grass prevails in all the lots no
used for farming.
The James Farm.
After going up hill and down eve
nine of the longest miles that wen
ever measured , the driver turned thi
team to one side and stopped It
front of a gate upon which is a sigi
reading " .lames Farm. " Passln
through anil traveling a quarter o
a mile away from the road , a rambling
white house one story and an atic 1
reached , and In front of this on a big
tree Is another sign which says :
"Admission Strangers 25 cents. "
The house stands on a hill overlook-
Ins what would bo considered a
broad valley In that country an Ideal
place for the purposes of offense and
defense. The sign on the tree meant
something It meant that If stran
gers wanted to see and talk with the
only mother of the notorious outlaws
they would 1mvo to put up 25 cents per.
They are also obliged to register their
names In a book which the old lady
keeps for that purpose.
"Write your own name , sir , "
prompts the lady , "I will not talk to
anyone who Is ashamed to give his
name correctly. "
Mother of Outlaws.
After the formalities were disposed
of and the tax paid , the visitor is al
lowed to take an Inventory of his sur
roundings. Ho finds i.hat ho Is in n
room comfortably 1'urnlshod1 , the
walls of which bristle with pictures
of the James family. Hut the mother
of the James boys Is the central figure -
ure of chief Interest. She is in her
eightieth year and is remarkably well
preserved. She is minus one hand ,
which was blown off when the Pink-
ertons made a raid on the house in
search of the James boys , but she 1ms
a clear , healthy complexion and seems
to bo strong and vigorous and she
can talk.
"I am tongue tied , " she explains at
he otitBot. My toiiKtio IH tied In the
ilddlo and waK at both ends. " This
Ittle pleasantry , which Blip workH on
very parly of vlHllorn , puts her In
end humor and she IH ready to tell
er Hlory. Hut although she omits
oluinoH of words nho falls to tell as
nitch about the outlaws iin one ox-
lorls to hear. She explains that she
.ml her liiiHlmnd , the Rov. Mr. James ,
amo to the country fifty-eight years
go from Kentucky and that they
longht the MO acres , of which oho
low IIIIH Hi'venty-elght left. Finally
he Rov. cleared out and went to Call-
ornla , where It IH supposed he died.
Mien she married n man named Sam-
lols. The strenuous life of the place
van too much for the latest edition ,
oo , and poor Samuels Is now In the
tisane asylum at St. Joseph.
The Plnkerton Attack.
The chief Incident of the onrly days
if crime In which her sons wore engaged -
gaged was the attack of Plnkortou
letectlvos one night twenty-eight
ears ago on the James home. As
old by Mrs. Samuels the family was
uvakened about midnight by Honeone
lomandliif ; the surrender of the James
toys. She says that she and her lit-
.lo boy eight years old and the old
iegro "Mammy" were the only OUCH
it homo at the time , and she so called
0 the ollicer. The Plnkerton did not
seem to believe this and In a few mln
ites a hand grenade came crashing
: hrough the window , exploding when
1 struck the floor , killing the little
lioy outright , tearing off her right
liand anil frightening the colored wo
man HO that she afterward went In
sane. Mrs. Samuels shows the dent
mule In the oak floor by the missile ,
'xhlblts n half of the shell of the hand
grenade and pathetically holds up the
stump of her right arm as evidence
> f her assertions.
Then the Pitikortons sot tire to the
liouso In six places , and with her torn
and bleeding arm banging limp by
lier sldo she wont out and extinguished
the flames. She says the attack was
a cowardly piece of business and that
the Plnkertons knew the boys were
not at home or they would not have
dared come near the house , "for my
boys were bravo , you know , and they
could shoot , " a truth that more than
one was able to testify to in the early
days.
There are differences of opinion
among local people as to the object
of the Plnkerton attack on the James
homo. One is that the officers know
the boys were away and they thought
by burning the liouso they could drive
the family out of the country. An
other , and the one more generally be
lieved , Is that the boys wore actually
at home hut that they found them
selves In such close quarters they
thought it bettor to keep out of sight.
H is asserted that In some mysterious
manner a number of the Plnkertons
never returned to their train alive ,
and it is firmly believed the boys
were not far off when the retreat be
gan and that they used their guns to
good effect. The Plnkertons had
como down from Chicago on a special
train for the purpose of capturing the
outlaws and bad loft it sidetracked at
the little station of Kearney , three
miles from the James home.
Grave of Jesse James.
The next point of Interest to which
the old lady led the party was the
grave of Jesse James , to the left and
rear and not far from the house. The
grave is enclosed with a small Iron
fence and flowers are in bloom at the
head and foot , but it is simply one
of the attractions of the place , for
the body of Jesse is not there. He
slept in that si > ot for twenty years
after ho was killed at St. Joe , but
about three years ago the body was
removed to Kearney and placed be
side that of his wife. After the offi
cials had been satisfied that it was
the noted outlaw that had been killed ,
the body was turned over to his moth
er. She says she was offered $15,000
for the body but refused to take it.
"Ho was a bravo boy , " said the moth
er , "and ho was entitled to decent bu
rial. Heslijes , money is not every
thing. "
A visit was then paid to the room
whore Jesse was born , now detached
and moved away from the main part
of the house. It is built of logs and I
she said it was seventy years old. It
was on the place when James bought
It. In one end of the room is the rem
nants of an ancient fireplace leading
to an outside chimney. It Is now desolate
elate of furniture except an old time
spinning wheel which the black "Mum
my" used to run.
Leading the way back to the door
yard , Mrs. Samuels picked a white
rose for each of the party as a souve
nir of the visit , badly sticking the fin
gers of her one hand In doing so.
Plenty of Troubles.
During the visit about the promises ,
Mrs. Samuels bewailed the fact that
she had boon beset with troubles all
her life , exciting troubles when her
sons wore at the zenith of their wick
edness , she had had two children mur
dered , now Samuels Is in the insane
asylum but the greatest of all Iftr
troubles Is right now , when she haste
to board with strangers and fight to
got enough to eat. It seems that none
of her family will live with her so she
boards with the renter of her farm.
When the party was there the farm
er's wife was washing in the rear of
the house , and although It was only
10 o'clock Mrs. Samuels remarked that
her visitors could see how It was no
preparations being made for dinner
and she was as hungry ns n wolf.
That llttlo fanner's wife has her own
troubles , too , It Is guaranteed.
The old lady followed the party to
Iho gate to bid us xood bye. As the
driver was about to whip up the
horses , Rome one asked her If the
man named Samuels , who runs a liv
ery In Hxoplftlor Springs , IH any rela
tion to her. "Yo.s , ho IH a half-brothor
to the James boys. " she replied. "You
are his steap-mother , then ? " "No , "
she answered ichumontly , "ho Is my
son , but ho Is like his father and ho
IH an straight IIH a Hon. The James
toys took after their mother their
father wan a good man " and with
i hearty laugh she turned and walked
proudly back to the houso.
Mrs. Samuels Is always at homo to
visitors who have the 25c. per. It Is
said that she makes $2,000 a year
through the offerings of morbid mind
ed people who como to see her. She
says that the visits of strangers are
all she has now to Interest her In life
except her appetite , and when they
cease coming she wants to die.
The language of Mrs. Samuels is un
usually pure for a person of her age ,
her pronunciation being clear and cor
rect and particularly free from colo-
quiallsms.
A Live Bandit.
On the way out to the road the
house of Frank James was passed.
IIlB mother has given him a two-aero
lot and in thin ho has put up a small
house which Is neatly painted white ,
where he lives witli his family just
how no one knows. As ho was never
seen to do a lick of worjc It is pre
sumed that ho has wived up a nice
little nest egg from the prosperous
times of a quarter of a century ago
when hank robbing and murder were
more lucrative jobs than now. The
ex-outlaw was In the yard as the party
passed , whom ho eyed from under a
broad brimmed hat and merely grunt
ed when spoken to. It Is said that he
positively refuses to talk to strang
ers and will not discuss early events
with anyone. He appears a man CO
or 05 years old , and he is now living
the life of a "respectable cltb.on. "
While there Is no doubt but that ho
was just as good a shot , just as brave
and committed just as many murders
as Ills brother Jesse , still after the lat-
tor's death ho came out into the open ,
was arrested , tried for ono of the
crimes that the boys had committed ,
and was found not guilty , for the rea
son that there was no direct evidence
against him. Then ho exhibited him
self as one of the attractions of a
traveling show for awhile , and finally
settled down on two acres of the old
homestead to become a good citizen
Ho seldom visits his mother , although
she Is only a quarter of a mile away
living with strangers.
A daughter of Jesse James is also
a resident of the neighborhood , hav
ing married a prosperous farmer.
Relentless Desperadoes.
The wickedness of the James boys
Is a matter of history. It Is probable
that America never produced two more
daring , relentless outlaws than Jesse
and Frank James. In company wltl
the Younger brothers , who at one time
lived at the James homo , they made
up a gang of toughs who were fearec' '
all over the western states. The
number of murders and bank robber
les that are charged up against them
is legion. Their last work done to
getlier was when they robbed a banli
at Xorthtleld , Minnesota , in broad
daylight and killed the cashier. Ir
the pnrMiit which followed ono of the
Yonngers was wounded and all three
wore captured , while the James boys
made their escape. The Yonngerf
served time In the Minnesota peniten
tiary , from which they wore pardonei :
a few years since. Cole Younger
spent six weeks at Excelsior Springs
during the last winter reviewing oh :
scenes.
When the Youngers wore taken , the
James boys went into hiding and re
mained there until Jesse was killed ir
much the same way that he had killei
others. He was living in St. Joe undei
the name of Howard and Bob Ford
an ox-convict , shot him down in his
own house , to gain the reward of $10 ,
ono which was hanging over him.
Criminal Incidents.
It is told among local people tha
the first crime of which the James
boys wore guilty was when Jasso wa
about 1C years old. With a compan
Ion they were in swimming and tho\
deliberately drowned the companloi
by inches , as a.cruel boy would a cat
They held him under water until life
was nearly extinct and then let bin
up to get a little air , continuing the
operation until ho was dead. Thl
was In the days when things were
newer In Missouri than they are now
Another incident is told of the
bloody career of the James boys a
home. During the time when officers
wore trying to capture them without
being killed in the attempt , a detec
tive walked up to the house ono day ,
clad In overalls and representing himself -
self to bo a farm hand. The boys
were away and the old lady set the
man to work. In a few days Jesse
came homo and she told him she had
a new man. Jesse immediately hunt
ed him up and demanded : "Lot mo
see your hands ! " The trembling de
tective showed up the palms of his
hands , which were devoid of the us
ual marks of. toll , and Jesse simply
said : "We don't need you. You may
move on. " Hut before the detective
had time to do any gun play Jesse had
filled him full of bullets , then ho tlod
the dead body on the back of a horse
and started it toward town , as a
warning to other detectives who might
bo wanting to interview the James
brothers.
Just how many murders nro charg- .
able to the James brothers will pro *
mbly never bo known. Hut for all
his the mother seemed proud of their
mivery and notoriety and proud that
hey were like her.
