On Monday, April 18th, a man calling
himself Frank Yewell, and claiming to be
citizen Of Kansas, came to Mr.. William
Hubble's, 10 Lincoln county, for the
avowed purpose Of buying Jack. IL was
probably late in the afternoon when he got
there and he accepted the hospitable prop
osi,ion Of Mr.. Hubble TO stay all night.
During the evening he was engaged in
conversation with the thee sons Of his
host, and the talk drifted to the subject Of
jesse James removal" lie was greatly
in sympathy with the James boys in al
their trouble, and entertained his listeners
with minute details Of their escapes in
several instances, especially Of their escape
after The Mortified bank robbery, giving
several ia, Iiculars which could have been
known BY none but the actors themselves,
and which in the knowledge Of the young
men had been published in no newspaper.
This, with the fact that this man filed ex-
sctiy in build, age and feature, lately
published description Of Frank james, and
the facts that his hair had been dyed, that
he limped in his walk and that the first
finger Of his right hand was of at or near
the second joint and which be said had
been taken of by a cutting Dor, a thing al
most impossible. as cutting boxes have
preference for the left hand, convinced
Spencer Hubble that their guest was no
other than the notorious Mr.. Frank James.
His suspicion was not made known to
Frank, who was 30 much taken with Mr..
Jewell that he shared his bed with him
that night, but you may bet your last dol

would spoon" for him again, unless per-
