In the Recent muse-rt Pad-e Hallway Express Robbery. The dominating power of heredity over the individual is once more for- cibly illustrated by the arrest in Kan- sas City, of Jesse James, ‘jr., for the alleged participation in the holdup and robbery of a Missouri Pacific expressl train just outside the city limits, on‘ the night of Sept. 24, says the New York Herald. l l srmxma ILLUSTRATION or THE LAW or HEREDITY. Not. yet has the elder generation of the public forgotten, nor will their children be allowed to forget, so long as a copy is obtainable of the notori- ous “Life and Adventures of Jesse and Frank James," the criminal exploits of the famous “James Boys," respectively, the father and the uncle of Jesse Jr., who for aquarter of acentury headed a gang of train robbers and bandits that terrorized the Southwest. They were the sons of arespectable Baptist minister. Frank, the elder, was born in Kentucky in 1841; Jesse in Clay County, Mo., in 1845, The father went to California in 1849 and died there in 1851, driven away from home, it is said, by his wife, from whom the sons seem to have inherited their dev- iltry. The latent evil in them was brought out by the war. Early in 1861 Frank James who had just reached his majority. joined Quantrell's band of guerillas. in which he soon became noted for ferocious daring. Jesse joined ayear later, and soon eclipsed his brother and all other members of that gang of murderers and cutthroats masquerading as soldiers. Both bro- thers participated in the sacking and burning of Lawrence, Kan.,when near- ly every male inhabitant was ruthless- ly murdered, and in the massacre of Centralia, Mo., where, after the vil- lage itself had been plundered, the guerillas waylaid an eastbound train, robbed the passengers and killed thir- ty-two sick soldiers en route for the St. Louis hospitals, besides fifty mem- ilbers of acompany of Iowa volunteers, lwho had hurried to the’rescue. handing his bridle reins to ms unu- rades. He approached the tickets office and looking through the window, said to the cashier: “If I was to say I was Jesse J ames, and told you to hand out that tin box of money, what would you say ’6" “I'd say I'll see you in ---â€" first,” was the contemptuous reply. “\Vell, that’s just who I amâ€"Jesse Jamesâ€"and you had better hand it I’ll"-â€"-and the rest ganized, but Train and stage robberies . ries.

CAREER OF OPEN CRIME BEGA_N. ”umCDUD, CAUUVII W I, ......... or two, from this time until 1868. In that year they began the life which made them famous as bank and train robbers. Early in the spring Jesse James, accompanied by ”Cole" Young- er, “A1” and George Shepherd and “Jim” White, dashed into Russelville, Ky., and robbed the bank of $14,000 There they first employed the tactics that they ever after followed in such operations. Part of the party enter- ed the bank, while the others remained outside and began a fusilade up and down the street to prevent the ap- proach of help. Accomplishing ftheir object, the robbers rode away, and, though vigorously pursued, escaped. Similar bank robberies, often accom- Panied by the murder of bank cash- iers or other officials, marked the lives of the James boys and their gang dur- ing the ensuing year. One of their more daring atrocities was committed at Kansas city in the autumn of 1872. The County Agricultural .Fair was goâ€" ing on, when three men were seen to ride up to the gate of the grounds. They were well mounted and wore long linen dusters and wide-brimmed hats. On reaching the gate one dismounted, handing his bridle reins t rades. He approached the tic wé‘fionpzn'atively little is known oftth: Jameses, excegt‘ a personal. adven “I...

Jesse and Frank James, aft- er being chased for weeks. succeeded in reaching Texas, and at Waco Frank ' had asurgical operation performed up- on his leg. The wound was so many [days without: care that it made him a ‘cripple for life. NE‘V GANG ORG ANIZED. In the fall of 1879 the Jameses re- turned to their old haunts in Clay County, and very soon hld about them a new gang. I With this crew of young cutthroats, Glendale, the little station in Jackson ' county, seventeen miles from Kan- sas City, on the Chicago and Alton Railroad, was selected as the scene of the next crime, and on the evening of October 8, 1879, an attack was made. Like all their preceding train robberies it was a success, and after battering down the door of the express car, Jesse James and “Ed” Miller entered 'with revolvers in their hands, and ‘compelled Grimes, the messenger, to unlock the safe and give up the con- tents, variously estimated at from $35,900 to $30,000. fire About this time it seems to have occurred to the authorities of Missouri that patience had ceased.to be avir- tue,‘and $10,000 was offered in lieu of vuo, auu Q1U,UUU was OIIereCl In 11911 01 the former insignificant sums for eith- er Jesse or Frank James, dead or alive, and $5,000 for any other member of thegang. ‘ The offer of these sums led to the killing of Jesse James in April, 1882, by Robert Ford, a lad. of twenty, who W93 i_n collisicnwiththe detectivesbut who had been accepted as a promising recruit by the unsuspicious bandit. Frank James a few months later gave himself up, was tried and was acquit- ted on successive charges of robbery and murder in the teeth of the plainest evidence, amid the plaudits of a \Vest- ern assemblage. He settled down in his father-in-law’s home, in Indepen- dence, Mo. In the fall of 1896 he ac- cepted a position as special messenger on an express train, his duty being no other than that of meeting tram rob- begs at jheir own game. Jesse James had been married in 1874 to hit: cousin, Miss Zeralda Mimms. At the time she was a public school teach- er in Kansas City. After the husband’s death she returned to Kansas City with her son, Jesse Jr., then a boy of seven and a daughter. The boy attended school until he was fifteen, then ac- cepted a situation at Armour’s paell- ing house, remaining there until srx months ago, when he established a01- gar stand in the County Court house. His reputation had always been good until he met “Jack" Kennedy, aman who is believed to have been implicat- ed in half a dozen- train robberies ar- ound Kansas City and is now under indictment for murder. Ordinary articles of consumption have a bad effect upon the body it uses to excess: Not a. few men have cumin; too many eggs. Nevertheless, here doubt that to eat too many in elmfinonmdnms a. kind 0! ”"0118 In a recent interview young Jesse told hom it was Ford' 3 crime that) re- vealed to him ,his real name and the identity of his father. “Yes," he said, “I remember my fath- er distinctly. We were living in St. Joseph when he was shot, but I did not know until after his death that Jesse James was my father. \Ve went under the name of Howard. He used to read to me. out of the papers every- thing he could find about the James boys, and, boy like, I was interested. I was after him all the‘time to read about the gang. I noticed that my father was always armed, but Isupâ€" posed that every man carried a revol- ver and a Winchester. Yes, it was my father’s death that gave me my real name. Bob Ford, his slayer, was kill- ed at Creede, and his brother a mm1t- ted suicide at Richmond, Mo., not a great while ago} What wonder that his youthful im- agination was befouled and his im- mature conscience diverted into the channels which heredity had already inchoately mapped out? Good, home- ly folk, believers in the shaping in- fluence of day and Sunday schools, imagined that the approaches to those dangerous depths had been dammed up by wholesome external training, but it needed only abreath to loosen the soul from its artificial moorings and plunge; it down the roaring abyss, That breath was exhaled Ly Jack Kennedy. A ,____-. Young Jesse also remembers the sen- sational funeral of the desperado, at Kearney, Miss., the immense crowds that flocked to the services, their evi- dent sympathy with the frantic denun- ciations that were publicly hurled at the authorities by the mother and wi- dow of the dead, and all the sad, bad, mad glorification of the outlaw by public and press. In his early boy- hood he had doubtless pored over the wretched booklet in which the evil deeds of Jesse and Frank were sym- pathetically celebrated. He had heard his mother's and his grandmother’s tri- butes to a man who was always good to his own at the expense of the world at large. And he had heard little save beatification of the departed from the world at large. _ _ A . ‘ ‘ i . the. “robbers, Two were WHAT HURTS US- :as-ions, luck followed while they escape after nearly five hundred their cognpangons were November 17 , A Few hm.” Wilt-I Wlll be '0'“ Well Worth Bowl-x.

Divorce is simply arranged in'Burma. When a couple has decided to separate. two candles of equal size are produced and lighted. One candle represents the husband. the other the wife.

Forty sheep belonging to William Arndt. gathered under a maple tree in Van \Vert county. Ohio, and among them were eighteen black ones. A blinding flash of lightning seemed to penetrate the earth in the midst of the flock and killed all the black sheep leaving the white ones unhurt. Each dead sheep had a round hole in the back of its neck. as if from a pistol ball, and around it the wool was burn- ed away. The Board of Control of the Joint Traffic Association have decided to dis- solve the organization on account of the decision of the United States Su- preme Court.

She adopted the precaution of driving the pin deeply into the tire. When the guests heard of the house- keeper’s method of checking. just as they were about to depart. there were wails and curses loud enough to be heard a half-mile away. N. M J. MeKeehnie.

BENEFIT OF PEERAGE. Every one may not know what the term “benefit of peerage" implies. A peer can demand aprivate audience of the sovereign to represent his views on matters of public welfare. For trea- son or felony he can demand to be tried by his peers; he cannot be out- lawed in any civil action, nor can he be arrested unless for an indictable of. fence, and he is exempt from serving on juries. He may sit with his hat on in courts of justice, and should he be liable to the last penalty of the law he can demand a silken cord instead of a hempen rope.
