fHE MISSOURI BANDITS
XEW STORY OF THE BREAKING UP
OP THE JAMES GAXO.
A. Secret Committee off Safety
"DIclc" Liddle' Surrender
The "Veiled Woman."
Tho death of Richard Liddlo, which oc
curred at Cincinnati a few days ago, fol
lowing so close after the liberation of Cole
and James Younger from the Minnesota
state prison, recalls most vividly those
distressful days -when the James and
Younger gang gathered tribute from ex
press trains and bank vaults, sometimes
varying the labors by looting the cash
box of a country store or that of the
Kansas City Fair Association, says the
St- Louis Globe-Democrat.
LIddle did not become a member of the
band until after the Northfield raid. Once
admitted ho became a very useful man.
He was with Jesse James at Winston, and
participated In the Blue Cut affair, near
Independence. Afterward, for the love a
woman, he gave up tralnrobblng and be
came an honest man. The story of the
breaking-up of this band may not prove
uninteresting at this time.
"When news reached Western Missouri of
the fatal raid on Northfield. Minn., and
that all of the band except Frank and
Jesse James were either killed or captured,
high hopes -were entertained that a stop
had been put to train and bank-robbing in
Missouri. For several years it seemed this
hope was In full process of realization,
but on .the night of September 7, 1879, a
hoid-up occurred at Glendale, six miles
southeast of Independence, and 15 from
Kansas City. Every' exertion was made,
by the officers to apprehend the bandits,
but proved futile. The year following,
however, a man named Bassham, who had
lived in a section of the county called
"Cracker Neck," and of which Glendale
was the center, was arrested on suspicion,
of having been one of those engaged In
the robbery. It was remembered that
Bassham, who was a worthless wight, had
left the country within a week after the
attack on the train, had returned after an
absence of several months, and seemed
to be in flush circumstances. Suspicion
ripened into arrest, and Bassham was
put In the sweat-box. Believing that he
had been betrayed, he made a full confes
sion, Implicating Jesse James, as the
leader, Dick Liddle. Bill Ryan. Ed Miller
and three others. Bassham was sen
tenced to the penitentiary for 10 years,
but his written confession remained in
the hands of the county and stato of
ficials. He was subsequently pardoned,
that his testimony could be used against
other members of the band.
In 18S0 Thomas T. Crittenden was elect
ed Governor of Missouri and William H.
Wallace prosecuting attorney of Jackson
County. Crittenden had announced It to
be his intention to break up the James
gang. Wallace had pledged himself to do
all that could be done n his office to sus
tain law and order and punish crime. As
If in defiance of the new administration,
a train robbery was planned and exe
cuted on the 15th of July, 1SS1, near a
small station called Winston, on the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad.
This was the most desperate and brutal
of the hold-ups up to" that time. Without
provocation Jesse James shot the con
ductor In cold blood and one of his pals
murdered a passenger. The bandits
stopped not here. On the night of Sep
tember 7, 18S1, they again appeared In
Jackson County, stopped and robbed a
train on the Chicago & Alton Road, 2
miles from Independence, disappearing
from the scene as if the earth had swal
lowed them up. Indeed, the gang seemed
to be stronger and more daring than ever.
Then were the people of Jackson Coun
ty aroused as they never had been before.
It was plainly evident to many that the
facility with which these banditti could
commit crimes and escape capture wa be
cause they had friends living near, by
whom they were harbored; that they had
spies and confederates in Independence
and Kansas City, who gave information of
the movements of officers In their at
tempts to bring the outlaws to justice.
The organization of a secret committee
of safety was effected. This committee
cdoptPd signs, signals and passwords, and
soon had a membership of nearly 500 de
termined men, nearly all of whom had
served in the Confederate armies. For a
wholesome effect upon the friends of the
outlaws they used for calling emergency
meetings a broad red seal, upon which"
were written hieroglyphics understood
only by the members. These were posted
only at night, and not Infrequently placed
on a front door or gatepost of a known
friend of the gang. This gave grave
alarm to these gentry, but as they could
not understand the seals, they presumed
they were meant to convey a warning.
At the same time covert threats were
thrown out that in case of any more rob
beries within the limits of the county the
suspected harborers of the outlaws would
themselves be summarily dealt with.
In the meantime Governor Crittenden
had called a meeting of the superin
tendents of these railroads operating In
the state, and the result was the offering
of a reward of 520,000 for the death or
arrest of Frank and Jesse James.
Shortly after Wallace became prose
cuting attorney Bill Ryan, one of the
most trusted of the James gang, robbed
a United States paymaster of several
thousand dollars near Mussel Shoals,
Tenn. A few days later he appeared
In Nashville, and was arrested, charged
with drunkenness. Wallace saw the not
ice of Ryan's arrest and wired the offi
cials to hold him pending- a requisition
from Goveror Crittenden, and Deputy
Marshal Whig Keshlear was sent to
bring him to Missouri. Keshlear reached
Jackson County while the' grand Jury
was in session: an indictment was found
charging Ryan with complicity in the
Glendale robbery. He made a bitter
fight, but the meshes Wallace had drawn
around him were too strong to be bro
ken, and he received a 25-year sentence.
This was the first real important cap
ture and proved the only prosecution to
a successful Issue. But other influences
were at work; the organization of the
committee of safety had alarmed the
friends of the bandits, and it became
hard to And safe harborage. Besides,
the loss of Ryan proved a serious one.
Upon his conviction Jesse James began
training Charley and Bob Ford for crim
inal work.
The Ford family consisted of the moth
er, daughter and the two above-named
boys. Their home was in Ray County,
near Richmond, and 6ne of the hiding
places of the band, or a part of It. Dick
Liddle and Wood Hite often stayed there
for weeks at a time. Hlte. it seems,
was in love with Miss Ford, and, becom
ing jealous of Liddle. picked a quarrel
with him. In the fight that resulted
Hlte was killed, and his body -was
dragged out, thrown into a ditch and
covered with earth, stones and brush.
Some hogs descried the body and rooted
it out to the road, where it was found by
some passers-by. The Fords had long
been suspected of harboring members of
the gang, and this confirmed the belief.
But as Liddle was absent when .Hite's
body was discovered no arrests ' were
made.
Soon after this episode Charley and
Bob Ford joined Jesse James at St.
Joseph, where he was living under the
name of Howard.
Dick. Liddle was In love with one Mat
tie Collins, who lived in Jackson County,
14 miles from Independence, but while
the woman was devoted to him she -would
not consent to marry him while his life
was in continued jeopardy on account of
his lawless and murderous deeds. Several
years before this a former lover had in
sulted Miss Collins, and In a fit of rage
she shot him dead. She was prosecuted
under an indictment of murder in the first
degree, and her attorneys had a hard
time to save her from a long, if not life,
term in the penitentiary. Tier lawyers
were Major William Warner, afterward
member of Congress from Kansas- City
District, and William H. Wallace. It was
Wallace's extraordinary defense, however,
which secured a verdict of acquittal for
the tawny-haired woman, and she was
ever afterward exceedingly grateful to
him. In her present emergency she paid
Wallace a visit. She told him she and
Liddle were sweethearts, also that Liddle
desired to surrender and settle down.
Wallace counselled her to go see Governor
Crittenden and lay the matter before him,
promising to abide by whatever the Gov
ernor adylsed.
One day a "veiled woman" called at the
State Capitol and said that she desired
a private interview with the Governor,
and was shown into Crittenden's private
office. In an hour she was bowed out by
the gallant Kentuckian, who had snatched
a kiss from the lips of the great Pattl.
Much speculation as 'to 'the Identity of
this veiled woman was Indulged in. One
rumor had It that she was the wire or
Frank or Jesse James; another thought It
might be Mrs. Samuels, their mother. But
neither Crittenden nor Wallace would tell,
and It was a long time before those less
Interested than the principals knew.
The next startling thing that occurred
was tho mysterious placing of a note in
the hands of Sheriff Timberlake, of Clay
County. The note was delivered .o deftly,
the bearer made his escape so easily, that
his Identity wag completely lost. Upon
reading the note Timberlake found it to

be from Dick Liddle, asking him to come
alone to a certain place In the woods near
Liberty that night at midnight. Timber
lake was a man of considerable nerve,
but It was some time before he could
gain his own consent to attend the tryst.
However. It was fame if he succeeded,
and a fight If deceived, and he went. Lid
dle met him alone and unarmed, and of
fered to surrender and be taken to Liberty
a prisoner If assured of a pardon and pro
tection In case he would divulge the
secrets of the James gang. Timberlake
promised protection and said he had no
doubt that the Governor would pardon
him If he would faithfully aid In break
ing up the band. Whereupon Liddlo
stepped to where his pistols were lying,
handed them to the Sherifl, and the
two were soon, at the Clay County Jail,
where for the first time perhaps in his
wayward life Liddle had the key of jall
dom turned upon him.
Affairs now culmlnntcd rapidly. On
April 3, 18S2, Bob Ford shot and killed
Jesse James In St. Joseph, and in the
following October Frank James walked
Into Governor Crittenden's office and sur
rendered. The Ford boys received their
reward of $10,000 for killing Jesse James
and each went his way, Charley to marry
and settle down. Bob to go West and get
killed by Ed Kelley, the keeper of a
Creede, Colo., dancehouse. Dick Liddle
appeared as a witness against Frank
James, who was Indicted for the murders
committed at the Winston train robbery,
but his testimony availed the state noth

Chicago American.
After twenty-five years' experience as
an amateur swimmer and diver, Philip
Gabriel, bookkeeper for Schautz &. Eck
ert, Perth Amboy. X. J., has learned by
chance a new wrinkle In diving that he
believes will prove Invaluable In saving
life. He has demonstrated that by means
of a pole a swimmer can go deeper un
der water than he can dive, except from
a great height, and faster, too. Here Is
Gabriel's own story of his discovery:
"In my twenty-five years' experience
as an expert diver and swimmer, I never
knew that a person could reach a greater
depth under water much quicker by the
aid of a pole, going down head first, hand
over hand, than by diving and swimming.
"Where a swimmer has not a sufficient
height from which to dive, it is almost
Impossible to reach bottom at a depth of
20 feet or more by swimming.
"That was my experience in trying to
rmw two wrv valuable nieces of brass
that the worklngmen dropped overboard j
from our wharf and could not recover oy
grappllng. Their efforts Imbedded the
brass deeper In the mud.
"I understook to dive to recover these
pieces, but found It impossible to hold my
breath long enough to reach bottom.
"The men located tho brasses by means
of a long stick, and the Idea came to me
that I could descend the pole and bring
each piece of brass to the surface."
Servants and Employer.
Success.
There are families that seem to be able
to make good sen-ants out of the most
unpromising material. Their employes ore
always kind, considerate, patient, cheer
ful and willing. They do not steal or
take advantage of a trust; they are al
ways kind to the children, polite to guests,
and agreeable to everybody.
Long experience as an employer has
taught the writer that the difference is
not so much in employe as In the em
ployer. When everybody condemns a man
charity says. "Do not denounce this man:
there Is divinity In him somewhere." .A
good employer Is able to find and bring
out the manly or womanly qualities Innate
In ever' normal being. He calls out the
best in those under him, simply because
he Is good himself. We find ourselves
reflected In others: the world gives us
back Just about what we give It. If we
laugh. It will laugh back; If we frown
and criticise, are captious and disagree
able, the world will show us a similar
side. So our employes reflect our treat
ment of them.
It Is astonishing how much promptness,
kindness, energy, tact, skilL cheerfulness,
and amiability many employers look for
in return for a small compensation. They
expect for a few paltry dollars a week a
thousand dollars' worth of character,
made up of all that Is noblest and grand
est In human nature. In those who have
had little. If any, opportunity for edu
cation and culture.
FUN ON THE ISTHMUS.
Delicate Bit of Rallery Directed at
Certain Ileccnt Events.
Brooklyn Eagle.
It Is commonly believed that war Is be
coming more civilized. This Is generally
true. Of course, there Is little of that
elaborate courtesy remaining the history
of which has made the story of Fontenoy
a marvel In martial annals; but the men
who live by 'the sword and usually die
SERVICE COMMISSIONERS, t
of something else are gradually realizing
that the amenities of the profession are
quite as important as Its asperities, and
that judicious and timely recognition of
the former will often count for more than
the cultivation and exercise of the latter.
To get a fair Idea of the development of
politeness among belligerents, pause for a
moment and consider the numberless In
stances of rudeness on the part of certain
Generals In our Civil War, who ruthlessly
seized railroads and Impounded rolling
stock whenever they had any use for the
same, and then contrast with this the be
havior of the Colombian revolutionists as
outlined In a story which comes to us from
Panama.
It appears that Don Jose de Ollvares
E Sanchez Matilda Y Maria, or some one
with a similar name, set out to attack
Colon with a force of 14S officers and men.
He had with him 5 Lieutenant-Generals,
22 Major-Ge::crals, 36 Brigadiers, 27 Colo
nels, 10 Majors, 20 Captains. 10 Lieuten
ants, 14 Second Lieutenants, and 3 pri
vates; these figures are not necessarily
accurate, but they have been carefully
compiled from the report presumably sub
mitted by one of the privates, who was
octlng as Assistant Adjutant-General. On
the way to Colon the army boarded a
train, and in due time the conductor came
along and demanded fares. The revolu
tion, he said, couldn't revolve on that line
unless It had mileage books or nickels.
And did the army resist? Did the Lleu-lenant-General
commanding order loaded
rifles into the cab and compel the engi
neer to take the liberators to Colon on
peril of his life? Xot much. Such pro
cedure might have been all right In the
dark days of 1S61 and thereabouts. It
was doubtless excusable on the part of
the benighted Prussians who were In a
hurry to get Into Paris some 30 or more
years ago, but It would have been clearly
discourteous and coarse if pursued by
these 20th century emulators of Bolivar.
So, to the demand of "fares, please," two
of tho privates cheerfully responded with
cash while the freight was paid for the
rest of the crowd by the Lleutenant-Gen-erals,
who signed a promissory "note; the
Generals and other officers were, strange
ly enough, without ready money. And
thus it was that the revolution got to
Colon only 10 minutes behind time and
captured the police station after a hot
fight. The train episode Is a credit to the
humanizing Influences of modern civiliza
tion, and a lasting rebuke to those who
would substitute the chicanery and hair
splitting of arbitration tribunals for the
courtcy-producing methods of the armed
campaign. Let the story of the meeting
between Don Jose and the conductor go
down in history side by side with the tale
of the two commanders of Fontenoy.

Crlsjil'M Virtues and FaultN.

Crlspi had great virtues and great faults.
At times he allowed himself to be car
ried away by anger, but he was never re
vengeful. Against adversity he was as
granite, but he was equally refractory to
Ideas and systems not his own. His faith
In himself was sincere, but unbounded.
Averse from discussion and counsel, he
was reputed foolhardy; but often his au
dacity was a sign of his strength. He
called himself a megalomane, but none
had a nobler conception than he of the
destiny of his country. Italy, he held,
should resume the glorious traditions of
j-ore. A French biographer, M. Narjoux,
says that when Crlspi uttered the phrase
"CIvIs Romanus sum" he touched the
most sensitive chord of the people. Nor
must this attitude be condemned as arro
gance which It would have been Ina
smaller man for Crlspi knew how to In

NICE HAIR FOR ALL.
Once Destroy the Dnndrnff Germ and
Hnir Grown Luxuriantly.
Any one cpn have nice hair if he or she
has not dandruff, which causes brittle,
dry hair, falllnsr hair and baldness. To
cure dandruff It Is necessary to kill the
germ that causes It, and that Is just what
Newbro's Herpiclde does. Cornelius Grew,
Colfax, Wash., says:
"One bottle of Herplcldo completely
cured me of dandruff, which was very
thick; and It has stopped my hair from
falling; out." It makes hair soft and glos
sy, as silk; delightful odor and refreshing
hair dressing. It will posltl-ely make hair
grow abundantly, and kills the dandrufA
germ.
