WD CAREER OF BANDIT JESSE JAIS Death of MI* Stepfather Recalls Mem ories o f Am erica's Most Desperate Outlaw. WAS A SLAYER AND ROBBER. Outrages Upon His Fam ily Incited Him to Deeds o f Maniacal Fury. Recently the I'oatli of Dr. Reuben Samuels, of Missouri, lias horn nil- nounood In a line. To the majority of readers this Item conveyed no aig- i>lfleanee. Yet D.stor Samuels was a figure In the guerilla warfare that made of Missouri and Kansas settings for the Moodiest and bitterest strlte ever waged hy banded assassins, S.nn- ttels was, however, a passive figure, the accidental «'enter of affairs in which ho t.s.k nit part, t'onllkt waged about him. Its fiery billows surging up to the tluv»lmld «*f his ho i:e. For he was th.» lots: and of the mother of Jesse James, a woman with the heart of a lioness, loving her own with an Intensity as tier-c ns the hatred she felt for her enemies. The death o f JV> tor Samuels r«valN the, mad carter of Jesse, as Intreniil n tnvhooti'r as ever murdered ami robbed ; a man who for years, moving In a community »vhere everybo«iy knew there was a price on his head. nev«>r ttinehed In the presence of dangiT. Jam«'» was a man of curious parado\«'s. lie was strong in friendship, terrible, unrelenting In battle, whether under the black flag of Quantrell or warring ori the society that bad made him an outlaw. To bis mother he was always kind and affectionate: to his wife a model husband. Ills children found In him. so far as their tender senses could an«reciate. every desirable element of fatherhood. For a long time he as sumed the name of Howard. There was no better eitlz«»n than "Mr. Howard.” no more thoughtful neighbor. Shortly before he was killed there had been a municipal pnx'tsslon In St. Joseph, marking a local event. At the head *f the parade was a platoon of police. Immediately tiehlnd the police rode Jesse James on a blooded horse, bis little boy Jesse held before him. Such were the chances the bandit took. There h«^e been attempts to exalt Jesse James. That he was driven Info the bard school of Quantrell must be S ln u «h it*r o f Troo p «. It was enough, tin«, to drive Jess.» from the (vrtls of his threatened home Into the ranks of the Quautrell guerril las. There he found himself among JESSE JAMES. (From t Photograph Taken In 1873 > men fittingly dcscrltied as crossed lie- tween highwaymen and tigers. He was a smooth-faced tsiy. yet s«s>n there was n«>t one o f bis comrades a more dan gerous fighter. Me was as g«s>d a rider as any. a better shot than any. and the ferocity that had slumbered within him was roused to a pitch that made him as demoniac as the rest of the lul- qultous brotherhood o f butchery. The exploits o f tlie guerrillas. In which Jesse soon t.sik active part, were almost beyond tiellef In thslr reckless daring, their frenzied brutal ity. The affair at Centratla illustrates the actuating spirit. One day— It was September 24. 1S«>4 -a train benrlng v fJ iM ROBBERY TH E STAGE COACH admitted. Ills mother was a native of Kentucky, and when the muttering« »if civil war were first beard ber sympa thies were with the South. So were those of Doctor Samuels. In these sym pathies It was but natural that the boy should share. Quantrell's guerrilla or ganization had operated before the dec laration of war. It was a sinister group, wholly without merer, hideous In Its methods, its members made up of social renegades steeped in crime, and bent upon revenge. U uantreir« «■nerrllla«. Quantrell had a grievance against some of the maurauders of the border. Others had sworn to kill all the Fed e r a l they could In reprisal against outrages committed hy sympathizers with the cause of the North. As Qtisn trell gained prestige some soldiers de serted the Confederate ranks to Join lilm. Impelled by a blood-lust not to he satisfied on the battlefield. They crave.] the joy o f murder. They gave no qunr ter. No prisoner was »pared. As fight ers they were demons. TI ipj relied up on skill as horsemen and with revol vers. When they went Into action If was with a fiendish zest that «xiuld *iot be withstood. It was the practice o f every Quan trell follower to take the reins In his teeth, guide the horse by pressure of the knee» alone and, with a revolver In each hand, plunge at full speed In’ o the heart of the enemy. There was no preliminary order, “ Trot, gallop!" hut the trained horses sprang to the utmost gait on the Instant. The rush wns a terrifying spectacle, pitiless, a w fu l; a veritable swath of death. Bud as wus Quantrell, ns monstrous his cruelty and measureless his passion, there were liodli-s opposing him that lacktsl none of his malignity of pur- jiose. hut did lack his leadership. One «lay the representatives of one of these bodies ro«le up to the Samuels home. They found I>octor Samuels at work With Jesse In a cornfield. With oaths they demanded the wherenbouts of Quantrell.
