Oene descriptive title which her sister it Llu i i. applied to her with no apologies. It wan averred by reputable citizens that the values of Missouri real estate had been depreciated quite seriously because it the outlaws energetic Pursuit of the business of robbing Banks and rail Way trains. However the serious seventies saw the Missouri bandits operating in several states other than their own. Without making Over those alien communities into areas or dread and depreciation. Happily the Vear 1870 was a Blank in the pro gramme of the bandits. Their first reappearance after the tragedy at. Mallaun was dated june 3, 1st1. And it that time they went into the Nonn a Short distance. The Corydon robbery the. Capital of Wayne county Iowa., which bears the. Classic sound ing name of Corydon is but a few Miles above the Missouri Border. Situated in the midst of a Rich Agricula Luria Region in the heart of the hog1 and Corn Belt it. Seems to have been assumed by the outlaws that the Bank of Corydon should Supply pick Ings Worth their Lille. Accordingly that rare june Day in 1871, they Rode out of Missouri into Iowa. Just who robbed the Bocock Bros Bank at Corydon no Man know eth unto this Day. Certain signs indicated that it was Tho familiar Missouri gang though no definite proof Ever yet has been adduced. If we can rely upon what has been phrased a Ihn consensus of opinion band of raiders was made up Ocole younger. James younger Frank James.

Because of an incident immediately following the robbery Hie present chronicler in inclined toward the theory that Jesse James was at Corydon. Jesse you Are not to for got never let Opportunity for a joke to pass by him unaccepted. The bandits selected that particular da-.-, no court because an out door political meeting was to be in Progress. There was Public speaking in the courthouse Square. Every body in town would be at the speak ing and the Hank robbery would be easy to it turned out. When the seven men Rode into the town no body paid them any Al Netton. Just another group of Young Farmers or farm hands dressed in their sunday clothes coming in to hear the speeches. Free of the horsemen entered 1ht Bank finding the cashier All alone. Each Man poked a pistol at head or heart of the cashier. Trio latter gave up the keys to the Safe. The robbers took nearly they carried away in a Grain the bandits joke before leaving the Bank the ban dits bound the cashier viands and gagging him also. Tilts act the like of which the Missouri out Laws never performed before or afterwards seems to have been due to their desire to attend the political meeting. Those Young men could talk politics with fluency and they i were democrats in the midst of a Black Republican stronghold which for Tho nonce was listening to a Missouri Democrat of the Rock ribbed variety. The orator of the Day was the Hon. H. Clay Dean a celebrated Brilliant and eccentric politician and lawyer of Northern Missouri. The bandits Rodo from the Bank to the Public Square one of them holding the loot suck Between his Saddle Orr. And his stomach. It. Looked of course lust like an innocent. Pur of some Corydon merchandising commodity not at All like in disguise. The eloquent namesake of Henry Clay was in the midst of his Flarv oration on the evils of Black republicanism. One of the Bank Rob Bers sitting his horse at the skirts of the sup posed to be Jesse James and it was just like Jesse to do the speaker or.
