Journal.
ho mvsont nlridinir place of no
trnco of tlio train robbers hna been
discovorctl , and tlio search is pretty
thoroughly nbandonoil. County Mar
shal Murphy ami his deputies re
turned yesterday morning pretty well
fnggcd out with heat and hard riding.
They rode down the river some sixty
miles examining the country closely
saw mid heard nothing leading
thorn to believe they were on the
track of the outlaws , but believe that
the men did not cross the Missouri at
any point below. Sherill'TimberUko ,
of Clay county , is of a similar belief ,
and thinks the ferry was made , if at
all , above this point. One thing may
now bo sot down as reasonably cur
tain , and that is that the bandits will
not bo caught this week or this year.
The pursuit to bo Directive must bo
carried on in a slightly dill'orcnt man
ner. Starting out with u cavalcade ,
and going on a man hunt as if it were
ti fox chase , and especially going forth
in such a manner after the game has
boon afoot sovnral days , hardly re
commends itself as a proper plan.
Jesse James and his myrmidons are
full of guile and must bo dealt with in
a guileful manner , and it is safe to
say they will hardly bo run to earth
when
HUNTED WITH A HUE A3fl > CllY
on their own heather.
Recent events have aroused all the
old time interest in the notorious
band of land pirates , and since the
Winston allair a Journal reporter has
spent all his spare time in obtaining
an account of their former lawless
feats , and by close search of back files
of newspapers , and interviewing a
number of the older residents , some
of whom are now on the police force ,
the task was accomplished.
THE HI.STOIIICS OP JESSE AXD FRANK
James sot at defiance all established
rules as set forth in moral litera
ture for the young. They wcro brought
up strictly in the way they should go ,
but deviated therefrom at the earliest
opportunity which pfl'ered ; the tree
was inclined in a direction diametri
cally opposite to that in , which
the twig was bent. They wcro
brought up in Olay county , the at
mosphere of which is highly moral ,
notwithstanding the numerous
campaign lies to the contrary , and re
ceived the benefits of a liberal educa
tion , thus adding to the unquestion
ably fmo natural abilities possessed by
them , the attainments of knowledge.
In any walk in life they would have
been successful beyond tlio ordinary ,
and in their chosen profession , that of
robbing and killing , they certainly
occupy a position in tlio front rank.
Both men wore born in Kentucky.
Frank first saw the light in 1841 ,
Jesse's existence dating from 1845.
When the latter was a year old their
father , a Baptist clergyman , removed
to * Missouri and settled in Clay
county. The family wore cdmpara-
tivoly well ofl' for the times , but like
all others , the Rev. Mr. James had
the dcsiro to add to his possessions ,
and when gold was first discovered in
California in ' 49 , ho left his family ,
homo and pastoral charge , and became
ono of the Argonauts. Two years
after , ho and his mining partner both
died from tlio eflects of poison ; they
had prepared food of some kind , al
lowed it to remain over night in a
brass kettle , and inimediatoloy after
breakfast sickened and died before
night of verdigris poisoning ,
LEFT AI.OJfE WITH IIEU HOXH.
Mrs. James , who is posscssod of
great executive ability and energy ,
superintended both her farm and the
early education of the boys. The lat
ter she was eminently qualified to do ,
being highly educated. As BOOH as
the future bandits were old enough
they were sent to Georgetown college ,
Scott county , Ky. , whore they
continued the pursuit of knowledge.
In 1857 the widow James married
Dr. Reuben Samuels , a well known
physician of Clay county , who , though
still alive , has discontinued the prac
tice of his profession , and is now liv
ing with his wife on their farm , about
four miles from Kearney station on
the Hannibal road , and about an equal
distance from Holt. Mrs. Samuels
is now about sixty years of ago , al
though she docs not appear to bo
older than forty-five. In appearance
she is very striking , tall , and stately ,
with clear cut firm features , and a
red ana white complexion n girl
might anvy. Around her mouth are
deep cut linea , which with her silver
hair are the only noticeable indications
of ago. Mrs. Samuola insists that her
BODS are dead , and it is posslblo that
she believes such to bo the case ,
The James boys wcro essentially
Southern in their ideas from habit and
education , and at the opening of the
rebellion were among the first to vol.
untecr foruervico in the confederate
army. . They were not mustered in
on account of their youth , and returned -
turned homo. Shortly afterward n
party of Kansas soldiers , called by
the opposing forces "Jayhawkers" or
"Red Iocs , " crossed the boundary on
ono ot their sallies and attached Dr.
Samuels
TO T11K LIMIl OF A CONVENIENT TUBE.
Ho was cut down before life was ex
tinct , but the act BO inflamed his stepsons
sons that they swore vengeance on the
doctor's would-be executioners , and
mounting their horses started to join
Quantreli's band of bushwhackers ,
whoso history is well known. Jesse
and Frank BOOH rose fo eminence by
reason of their personal hardihood
and dare-devil recklessness. They
wcro absolutely regardless of life ,
either their own or that of any ono
else , and in consequence of their
ability and daring , they were each
promoted to the command of u com
pany. At tlio Lawrence massacre ,
Quantreli's order is said to have been
to kill , without regard to ago or _ 8o
although this is disputed by certain of
his followers , who nro nt present in
this vicinity. However that may bo ,
thirty Kansans fell on that eventful
occasion by the hand of Jesse James.
In 18G5 Quantrell and what re
mained to him of his regiment after
their disintegration by the federal
forces , went to Texas. They then
went to Honkinsvillo , Ky. , where the
leader was killed in an engagement
with Union troops. The guerillas
then disbanded , the James boya returning -
turning to their homes They lived
quietly for something over two years ,
when , having cllectod a sort of part
nership with the Younger brothers ,
who wcro also with Qi'ianlroll , mid
others of that ilk , they entered the
ntfsiNjss : OK WHOI.KSALI : iioniiuuv
on a magnificent scale. In the fall of
180S the party wont to the Lexington
( Ky. ) races. On tlmir journey homo
they slopped at Russellville , Ky. ,
where they robbed a bank of 814.000 ,
and went to Texas , whore they in
vested in stock , and remained quio-
Eccnt until tlio following year.
In December , 1800 , this section of
the country was startled by the rob
bery of the Gallatin bank , the officers
being relieved of the custody of some
§ 7,000. , Indubitable proof was found
fixing the crime on the band of which
"
the "bruins were possessed by the
James brothers. Suvcral people wore
killed , and the robbers escaped with
their swag to their country villas in
Toxas.
The following snring the James nnd
Younger boys nnd others rode into
the town of Corydon , la. , in the fore
noon , dismounted , walked into the
bank and while three of the number
kept the cashier , the only person in
the bank quiet , the others went
through the safe for several thousand
dollars. The robbers were pursued
into Missouri but none- were caught.
It is supposed that after the Corydon
difficulty the James' boys took refuge
again in Clay county , as after an en
counter in a Texas dance house , in
which the population of the Lone Star
state wns reduced by several , the at
mosphere in that neighborhood be
came too sultry for them.
In the fall of 1870 the Lexington

TOOK IN THE COLUM11US HANK.
About the middle of the afternoon
the six men , who had remained at the
village tavern all day , mounted their
horses , and rode up to the bank.
While the president , cashier nnd a de
positor were engaged in conversation ,
looked down the barrels of three ro-
volvcrs , the other three men gathered
up all the loose funds and the sextette
started away. The cashier not up a
cry of alarm , which was his last ; a
bullet from ono of the revolvers for-
ovcr silenced further speech. The
gang were well mounted , and had but
little difficulty in reaching the moun
tains fur in advance of the sheriffs
posse which pursued.
THE KANSAS CITY FAIR.
On the last day of the Kansas City
exposition in 1872 , the James and
Younger brothers committed a rob
bery which for boldness and startling
originality discounted the efforts of
any robbers before or since. At < 3
o'clock in the afternoon , after Mr.
Hal' , the treasurer ot the association ,
MOV of the Chicago Jocky club , had
been around to the various entrance ! )
to collect the money , six ordinary ap
pearing men rode up to the office at
the principal gate , and ono of them
looking through the window , said to
Mr. Hull , as it from curiosity :
"How much money is there in that
box ? "
To which the accomodating treasur
er replied that there was in the neigh
borhood of § 10,000. Then said the
inquisitive stranger :
"Suppose Jesse James should come
along hero and toll you to give that
up , what would you do ? "
"I should refuse" said Mr. Hall ,
laughingly.
"Well , I am Jesse James , " said the
questioner leaning half way through
the window , and holding a cocked
navy under the treasurer's nose , "and
I reckon you bettor pass that money
over. "
Mr. Hall thought sotoo and acted
accordingly. The money was placed
in a sack carried by ono of the party ,
and they rode calmly down Twelfth
street in full view of the populace.
THE CHEEK DISI'LAYEI )
can only bo appreciated when the fact
is taken into consideration that there
were at the least calculation 30,000
people on the grounds , and men wore
passing in and out the gate every
minute.
That evening a party of men rode
UD in front of a newspaper office on
Fdurth street and called loudly by
name for the editor. That gentleman
came down stairs and was presented
with nn elegant gold watch and chain
"with the compliments of Jesse James
and command. " The gentleman who
received the present is editing n paper
inJm interior town , and still regulates
the movement of the sun by his time
piece , The police of this city did not
apprehend any of the outlaws at the
time , and have continued to do so ever
sinew ,
Tlio next spring Frank James nnd
ono of the Ypungor boys employed them
selves making inquiries into the man
ner in which express companies con
ducted their business ) . Pending this
study the remainder of the gang wont
through the bank of Sainte Gonovievo.
The place was entered in the broad
light of day , the officers and employes
covered with revolvers , and the uafo
emptied of its contents. The robbers
were pursued , and a short distance out
of town the ono who carried the bag of
plunder dropped it After dismount
ing to pick up the money the man's
hoiiobroko away , and hearing his cries
for help the others rode back just in
time to rescue their companion from
the posse. The money was lost.
The next month , Juno , 1873 ,
THE JAMEH BOYS LEFT THE ( ! 1TV
where they had boon several weeks ,
and went to a small town this side of
Council Bluffs , whore they were
joined by the Yuungur brothers. On
the 21st of the month they displaced
a railj threw the train from the track ,
creating terrible confusion. The en
gineer and fireman \ > ere both killed and
several severely injured. Every dollar
in the express car , beside a quantity
of bullion were carried away , Officers
of the lnw scoured the country for
weeks with the customary result.
The next December tlio boys again
showed up in front of a singe which
r.ui between Malvern and Hot
Springs. The pnssongors , instead of
Ruing to Hot Spring * ' , returned to
Malvern lo telegraph for roniitlcnces ,
Two weeks afterward , in January ,
187-1 , nil
i\ritKSS TRAIN WAS ST01TK1I
nt Ond's Hill , on the Iron Mountain
road , the ordinary formality gone
through with , and 811,000 taken from
the safe. No ono was killed , 1'ink-
TtonM to work up the case , and a
( iprnian detective named Wilchor detailed -
tailed for the duty. Wijcher went to
Clay county in the disguise of an em
igrant nnd applied for employment as
a farm hand on Mrs. Samuels' farm.
Ho was refused work and the follow-
mi ; day was found shot full of holes ,
a card on his breast bearing the fol-
Inning inscription :
"This shall bo the fate of all of
rinkerton's detectives who come into
Missouri , "
Shoitly afterward Capt. Lull , ono
of 1'inkerlon's men , together with
several others , ran tlm Younger
brothers to earth in Munnghan's
voods in Southwestern Misssoufi. A
desperate battle followed , in which
John Younger was killed and Jim
seiioiisly wounded. Shurill' Daniel * ,
"f St. Glair county , was shot dead and
Lull mortally wounded.
In January , 1875 , the detectives
visited the home of Mrs. Samuels ,
near Kearney , on which occasion Mrs.
Samuels' arm was blown olf. A nyn-
onsis of the affair appeared in the
loinnal of Tuesday.
The next March 11. M. Jefferson ,
< f r.xllaway , introduced a hill in the
stale legislature offering "general am-
Musty" to the James and iounijer boys
if they would return homo and give
bonds lo keep the pe.ico. The bill
Mas lost.
_ Shortly afterward Daniel Askew , of
Liberty , a well known and popular
young man , who had guided the de
tectives to the James tarifi , was car
ried fiom liia house and
HHOV WUll 1IY JKVM JAMES.
Ill the spring of 1875 the Munico
robbery , nix miles out of the city , on
the K. 1\ road , occurred. The ox-
prow car v.-.as entered , ( ho messenger
intimidated , und the safe robbed of
upwards ( if 825,000 , while the train
was in motion. After iiecining the
wealth , the robbers pulled the boll
cord , jumped oil' , and got away as
usual. Some weeks after , Bill Mo-
D.uiiels , a hard case of this city , was
arrested for intoxication and taken to
the police station. Upon his person
was found evidence that ho wns a
member of the gang. All efforts to
get him to confess were unavailing ,
and ho was killed a few days afterward -
ward while attempting to break jail.
July 7 , 1870 , a Missouri Pacific
train was robbed at Fetervilhi , Pettis
county. Fifteen thousand dollars
were taken from the nnfo and the
robbers , with their usual good for
tune ey wed.
In August , 1870 , the gang appeared
at Mankato , Minn. , whore they in
vested in fine horse Hush. ' In early
September they rode up to the North-
field bank , seven in the party , and
demanded the keys of the safe from
Cashier Hayward. That gentleman
sprang for a revolver which lay on a
desk , but never reached it. Tlio tel
ler and bookkeeper started to run ;
the latter only escaped. Before the
robbers could gather up any of the
spoils the citixcnb woie upon them ,
and a desperate battle ensued , in
which two of the outlaws were killed.
The remaining members of the party
were pursued by the citizens , and by
night , owing to the use of the tele
graph , fully
TWO THOUSAND ARMED MEN.
were on the trail.
About fifty miles from Northfiold
the robbers engaged in a quarrel be
tween themselves. Jim Younger hud
been shot , and was too weak from
loss of blood to proceed further.
Jessu and Frank James promised that
ho bo shot , according to the later
statements of the Yomigora , and after
much recrimination the James1 boys
rode away , leaving Charles Pitts and
the three Youni'ors. The latter wcro
overtaken by their pursuers at Mo-
dalia nnd surrounded in a swamp.
Pitts was killed and the
Youngors all wounded. They wcro
given medical treatment , indicted ,
and are now in the Stillwater peni
tentiary under life sentences.
Frank and Jesse escaped after a
throe week's chase , during which it is
said .they caused numerous of their
cnoniios to bite the dust. It was given
out by their friends that they had
died from the effects of wounds re
ceived in Minnesota.
On the 7th of October in 187threo ! ( ,
years after the famous Glendale rob
bery occurred , with the particulars of
which every citi/.en of this place is
familiar , the amount secured is vari
ously estimated from $15,000 to § 40 , ,
000. Nothing was learned which
definitely fixed the crime upon the
Jameses until Basaham'H confession
last winter ,
George Shoppnrd's statements concerning -
corning the
KII.UNII OF JESSK JAHE.'l ,
which were highly fabulous , are well
known. Shuppard , while in the em
ploy of the detectives , joined tlio boys
in a scheme to fob the Empire City
bank , and according to instruc
tions , gave the plan away to
Jasper county officials , afterward
going to the rendezvous of
the outlaws , where he wns met with
drawn revolvers. Several shots were
exchanged anil Sheppard was struck.
< ) u his return hero lie gave out word
that ho had ridded the country of the
famous Jesse , which was afterward
found to bo untrue ,
During 71) ) nnd ' 80 it is thought the
bandit brothers were in Baltimore.
In the year of 1880 the robbery of
a coach near Mammoth Cave , Ky. ,
was ascribed to them , but since the
Empire City affair , which Hashed in
the pan , nothing definite has been
known of them until the Winston rob
bery last week.
