Joined by George Shepherd, former COM
panion-i in arms of the James brothers, but
not engaged in the last robbery. Shepherd,
on account of his.old acquaintance and pre-
sumed friendship for Jesse James, was
cordially welcomed by the latter, and as the
party moved off, the two named rode side by
side, bringing up the rear Of the column.
Watching his opportunity, when his
Commanders face was momentarily
averted, Shepherd drew his revolver and
shot Jesse through the head, at the same in
slant wheeling his horse and fleeing, closely
pursued by the remainder Of the gang, who
fired several shots at him, one taking effect
in the leg. Shepherd says that Jesse fell
headlong' from his horse, and the sup
position was that he was killed. Shep-
herd joined the gang, it is said, at the insti-
cation Of Marshal Iigget Of Kansas City,
and in hope Of securing the large reward Of

alive. he had posse of friends hidden in

to Fort Bayard, n. Mex, on the Sd, having

struck Victoria on the 9th of October, and
fought and punished him severely at point
about 60 miles south Of the line, near Caro-
bias River, in Mexico. Morrow lost two
toria's band then scattered, and Morrow,
being 200 miles from his supplies and two
GAYS march from the line, was compelled to
return. But for these untoward circum-
stances, Mai. Morrow would have followed
the Indians until they should have surren-
dered or been compelled to stand
4 fight. Mai. Morrow reports that
Victoria has been reinforced by Mes
calero Anehes and Halls band of
Chihuahua Apaches. He thinks Victoria
will return as soon as he gathers sufficient
renegades, and as this is more than
likely, the. military authorities are al
ready preparing to give him a warm re-
ception. Since Oct. 20, MorrOw's COM
