of having been carried for some days
in the pocket. People of Winston and
vicinity, who know the James boys and
most of the comrades they had in the
past, say they have no doubt his was
of the same lot, but it has long been
the custom of the people of Western
Missouri to attribute every daring piece
of outlawry to the James boys, and
time alone will tell whether or not the
present suspicious are founded on good
grounds. Officers of the U. S. Express
Company refuse to name the amount
of money taken from the safe, but say
they think $4,000 too high. Conduc-
tor Purple, of the Hannibal road, who
passed through Cameron with his train
last night stopped long enough to gath.
er some of the stories He says that
Westfall was shot while his back was
turned to the assassin and that Mac
Clellan, stone mason, was shot because,
seeing the intention of the robber, he
attempted to cut him down with a stone
trowel, the only weapon at hand.
Conductor Westfall had been rum
ming the passenger train upon which
he met his death almost year. He
had wife and four children living
near Galatin, Mo-. but had not been
living with them for some time. He
was favorite both with the officers and
