Winnipeg wednesday a tag test 12, 1925 the Rise and fall of Jesse James utter disregard of human life characterized first brutal train robbery by James younger band 1873 by Robertus love. A member of the St. Louis Post dispatch editorial staff. Chapter Xii. Jaksik has been credited wit i hav incr invented train Rob Bing.

There in of a shipment by the Cal Yukii Rook Inland anal Pacific railway about the third week in july Lames and younger Are supposed to have returned to Jackson county about tote time the oth a five got Back from Ste. Genevi eve. There is evidence to support the i Lief that the seven started from j Jackson on fresh horses july 12, j l for Iowa. J a spiked a rail Cole younger and Frank a Cordi Milr to or ports Wlinich May be True or false went to Omaha. Web j Rasku to make Mai Luries As to the precise Riata. On which the sold ship j ment was 10 come . They in i t the rest of the band at Council j Bluffs. Iowa which Point was at j to sued after six Days of hard Ridl Msj from the Home county. Council j Bluffs became Headquarters for the 1 expedition. Frank and Cole Are sup posed to have Learned that the Yel i Low Wear Ali would be whizzing through the Little town of Adair. In j the county of the name two counties East of Council Bluffs on j evening of july 21, unless some j body stopped the train and Sot sold beforehand. Tim seven Rob Bers mounted their horses and Rode to a. Point a few Miles West of Adair where a Sharp curve presented Excel Lent Opportunity for wrecking a train. Hite hink their horses in the Woods they ii spiked a rail from the track i they Eft. The loosened rail in but tied a Lone rope around it. The end of the rope was held by a couple of the bandits lying concealed in shrubbery and grass some Yards from the track. At. S.30 ., on time. Engineer John Rafferty. One of the Rock Island s most faithful men drove his train around the curve. Hand on the throttle Eye on the John i Lafferty was obeying regulations. His thick Eye saw a rail unaccountably yet none the less actually. Sud Denly to the outside of the truck As if somebody had Given it a Quick Jerk. Rafferty reversed but the distance was fatally Short. The huge Loco motive plunged off the track and turned Over on Side crushing Hie Engineer to death. The or Conan was bruised but not injured seriously. Some of the were two Pullman sleepers and five Day bumped and bruised the train conductor assumed that the Shirine had left the rails at the curve because of some Ordinary wrecking Accident but this Assumption was dissipated when seven Hoot i ing. Shooting desperadoes arose from the Brush some on one Side and some on the other and rushed to Board the train. Even then the conductor could not comprehend the situation. Train robbing was a new thing altogether. Wrong train two outlaws boarded the express car held the messenger and compel j led him to open the. Safe. They got All the Money it contained hardly j More than twelve hours later an express train carrying in Gold passed safely eastward Over the replaced rail. The Advance agents of the outlaw band had made a mis calculation in time. The passengers were somewhat longer than was the conductor in reaching realization of the startling fact that the Tantin had been wrecked by robbers. Some of them suffering from the Shock of sudden derailment and stoppage were too much be Wilder cd to understand what they were expected to do when the Rob Bers entered the coaches and ordered hands up. It was such a Novelty the gang got several Hundred Dol Lars and a Ijuan Tity of jewelry from passengers. They mounted their steeds and set their faces southward. For poor old Missouri where spite of everything it Felt like Home news of this outrage was published throughout the land and even in Europe. If news the unusual then truly this was news. It was not. Merely unusual it. Was unique. The out we had starter something new and As the very first Sample of their Novelty they committed a Mur Derous crime which might have resulted in Many deaths instead of hut one. Public indignation was such that the bandits kept under cover for several months. The Day following the Adair affair five men on horseback stopped Tor dinner at a farmhouse in Hon Gold county Iowa just above the mis Souri line. The Farmer who had not Learned of the crime had a pleasant conversation with the men. They talked politics re Ligion. One of visitors was de scribed thus by the Host whom they had entertained with their sprightly talk seemed to be a kind of Leader five feet seven or eight. Inches tall Light hair Blue eyes heavy Sandy whiskers Broad Shoul nose a Little turned up Broad forehead looked to be a Well educated Man not tired to work Asre 36 to 40." but for the age that was a fairly accurate description of Jesse James. Jesse was not quite 26 at the time. He was Well educated save in out awry but to a simple Farmer a Young Man of Jesse s experience in travel and his general Contact with the world might seem so. The far Mer s descriptions of the four others seemed applicable to Frank James cell Miller of the Youn that supplier no proof. Personal descriptions Quentlyn Are misleading. An old fashioned robbery. The next adventure which by implication of suspicion and certain other elements the Missouri Border bandits indulged As was As old fashioned As the robbery of a railway train was newfangled. Stage coaches had been robbed from immemorial times. The celebrated Bri Tish knights of the Road had Given specimens that Industry to play Wright poet novelist historian. Out in our own wild West Many a stage coach had been held up and Dri ver and passengers made to stand and deliver. There was. Therefore nothing new under tins Sun in the episode of Jan. 1 6 1874, on the Highway Between Malvern and hot Springs Arkansas save that it was a new sort of adventure for the highwaymen who held Iro the hot Springs stage. Jive men from Missouri who had passed the Iris fat at hot Springs left that famous health resort that morning travelling eastward. Having their own Saddle horses they did not wait for the outgoing stage but they Dia wait for the. Incoming co etch. one of those big old Concord coaches picturesque enough to de serve the a ignorable place i fiction. Fourteen passengers men and women were aboard bound for the Springs and their hot and Healing Waters. The hot Spry sen Reserva Tion la a United states government institution. The area including the hot Springs was taken Over toy the government in Early Days be pre served permanently for the Benefit of the american people. The City surrounding the Springs with the scenery in and adjacent to the City is one of the most Beautiful spots in America. In the Days before hot Springs had railway communication it was assumed that Only the Rich could get there travelling expenses being High. The bandits hid in the Brush about five Miles cast of hot Springs. An hour before noon the stage came lumbering along. The hold up men arose. Frank James according to tradition called shrilly upon the Driver to halt. The Passen Gers were ordered to Alfelt from the coach. Lined up at the Edge of the Road they submitted to search and seizure. Money and jes Elmerjr were turned Over to the outlaws. Clell Miller and Jim younger Are supposed to have been the men who took the loot from each passenger and put it into the customary Eack. Former governor Burbank of Dakota. Terri tory was the passengers. One of the robbers remarked that Bur Bank looked like a detective. An other passenger had Southern accent. Never Rob were you in the Confederate inquired one of the High waymen., a big handsome Man of genteel aspect. I replied the passenger. Name your regiment company and the passenger named them. So was i in the Confederate said the big robber. "1 served under Gen. To Shelby. Of mis thereupon he handed Back to the astonished southerner the Welch and Chain and the Wallet the traveller had driven up. Throughout their careers the Jameses and the Youngers were in the habit of insist Lnor that their depredations were strictly against northerners and their apologists Ware still More insistent upon that Point. Fact is that All the Banks they to biped excepting the one at Cory Don Iowa and the one they tried to Rob at Northfield Minnesota were in Southern states if we class mis Souri As Southern however to Clinch our argument Here. The further fact is that All o in. Trains they robbed. One in a i anal another in Only a Miles West of the a Iwakiri Fine Jin Missouri. In robbing a Bank or i i train they never inquired As to j political or sectional their victims.
